Abstract

The purpose of this study was to construct and evaluate a Web-based education and learning system, which enhances the effects and the efficiency of learning by the use of ICT (information communication technology). The system allows class contents to be uploaded to an Internet server, and to be simultaneously accessed by both the teacher and students using PCs. An interactive lesson could be held by means of a real-time audio and visual system using Skype™ with Web cameras and headphones. The class contents in our study were graduate-school level (Faculty of Health and Welfare). Having obtained consent for our research from the participants, we conducted a class utilizing the system and conducted a questionnaire survey about its efficacy and specific qualities. The results indicated a high evaluation of the system in that learning was facilitated by the capability of the system which allowed students to prepare and review lessons, to access contents even from distant locations, and to participate in interactive lessons with the teacher. However, future measures to deal with problems including image distortion, poor sound quality and slowness in Skype™ communication speed are required.
