In order to effectively promote short-term international study exchange, the aim of our research was to build a system for potential short-term exchange students to study information about Japanese society, before embarking on their exchange program, using multimedia learning materials. Central to this purpose, the educational CD-ROM,'Contemporary Japanese Society' has been developed.In 1998 we presented a trial version, with themes such as 'The Rubbish Problem', 'Housing Problems' and 'A Cashless Society', at various universities in Oceania and obtained the views of teachers and students in those universities.Based on this feedback from off-shore, and trials at educational institutions in Japan, in 1999 we made a CD-ROM with the themes 'The Changing Status of Women', 'The Education System', 'Lifelong Study and Volunteer Work', 'Japan : Earthquake Country' and in 2000 'Mobile Phones', and 'Viewing Japanese Society Through Things : Vending Machines ; Bento Lunch Boxes ; 100 Yen Shops ; Anti-Bacterial Products ; Cartoon Character Merchandise' were the themes used.In 1998 and 1999, due to the limitations of the multimedia production software (Intelligent Pad), special software was required to view the CD-ROM, making it to some extent inconvenient. Therefore, in 2000 the format was changed to HTML, making operation of the materials easier.Using the HTML format, these versions of 'Contemporary Japanese Society' can be placed on a website and be used as a multimedia databank by Japanese students and teachers around the world. At the same time we will be able to obtain feedback as to how to further improve the materials.

为了有效地促进短期国际交流，本研究的目的是建立一个系统，让潜在的短期交换生在开始交换计划之前，利用多媒体学习资料了解日本社会的信息。为了实现这一目标，开发了教育光盘“当代日本社会”。1998年，我们在大洋洲的多所大学推出了以“垃圾问题”、“住房问题”和“无现金社会”为主题的试行版本，并获得了这些大学教师和学生的意见。根据这些来自海外的反馈，以及在日本教育机构的试验，我们在1999年制作了一张主题为“女性地位的变化”、“教育系统”、“终身学习和志愿工作”、“日本：地震国家”的光盘，并在2000年制作了“移动电话”和“通过物品观察日本社会：自动售货机”的光盘。便当饭盒；100日元店；抗菌产品；主题是“卡通人物商品”。在1998年和1999年，由于多媒体制作软件（Intelligent Pad）的限制，需要专门的软件来查看光盘，这在一定程度上造成了不便。因此，在2000年，格式改为HTML，使材料的操作更容易。使用HTML格式，这些版本的“当代日本社会”可以放在一个网站上，并被世界各地的日本学生和教师用作多媒体数据库。同时，我们将能够获得关于如何进一步改进材料的反馈。
