The learning system of Shinshu University graduate school of science and technology on the Internet

Abstract

Shinshu University Graduate School of Science and Technology on the Internet (SUGSI) is established in 2002 as the first Internet University in Japan. In SUGSI, students can learn every lecture using a CAI system featuring drills on the web, and get supervising about a master's thesis from faculty adviser via network. Therefore, students can complete a master course and get a master's degree without commuting to the school. We manage SUGSI on day school system, and we developed some student support systems as well as learning contents with CAI. In this paper, we mention about the learning system of SUGSI: its CAI contents, a student management system, and the profile of enrolled students such as their age structure and their learning style. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
