Background and Objectives A conventional design studio consists of asynchronous works of students or student groups, and individual consulting of their projects by advisers. Though there are critiques in a class, such asynchronous working styles prevented from mutually stimulating their imaginations and design activities through daily communication. Since some of students began to work with a PC at home, advisors faced difficulties following the progress of students’ activities. Reviewing several successful examples of webbased collaborative design studio projects conducted by a group of schools at remote locations (Wojtowicz, 1995; Yee, 1998), Kumamoto University started in 1996 several experiments to apply such techniques to a studio as a solution to the communication problems of conventional studios. As it became evident after a two-year experiment that writing web pages and uploading them to a web server was a barrier of communication for students, the authors developed a web-based groupware called GW-Notebook (Morozumi, 1999), and started using it in 1998. It has been another goals of systems development to provide an environment for productive or creative design communication among students and teaching staff in a way that the conventional studio cannot realize. The revised version was introduced to the junior studio in the fall semester of 2000, in which a new instruction program that applied various utilities of the groupware was also tested (Morozumi, 2001). It is the objective of this paper to discuss a model of communication in the studio, and a tested program of studio instruction, as well as to review performances of GW-Notebook as a center of communication in the studio. This paper introduces the students’ answers to questionnaires conducted soon after each studio as basis for discussions.
