Distance postgraduate courses have been authorized only since 1998 in Japan, and a Japanese higher education world has not accumulated enough practices and experiences in this sector. The research aims at comparative study on Distance Postgraduate Programs in Australia, Canada, UK, and USA, in terms with the social and educational backgrounds in use of new media, by means of on-the-site investigation. The research was carried out from the view point of how media technology, educational programs, services to the learners, staff development/training, learning assessment, and organization management are systematically established and integrated. The special attentions were given to "Virtual University" in 1999 and to" China in the World Educational Market" in 2000.Each visited country has a long history and experiences in distance postgraduate programs, which play the roles of Professional Development, Recurrent Education, or Continuing Education in the field of MBA, Health Services, or Education.The use of media in USA and Canada is different from that of UK.Online education programs without face-to-face interaction are commonly observed in the former case, whereas face-to-face tutorials and assignments are integral parts, and the issues of learners' media literacy, cost and accessibility to new media are highly considered in the latter case. These characteristics are distinctly reflected in the forms of Virtual University. One party neglects face-to-face exchanges, and the other party tries to maintain the functions of face-to-face tutorials.The distance postgraduate programs in UK and Australia often target on Asian educational markets, where China is regarded as a big market.

远程研究生课程在日本是1998年才被批准的，日本高等教育界在这方面还没有积累足够的实践和经验。本研究旨在通过实地调查的方式，对澳大利亚、加拿大、英国和美国的远程研究生课程在新媒体使用的社会教育背景进行比较研究。从媒体技术、教育计划、学习者服务、员工发展/培训、学习评估和组织管理如何系统地建立和整合的角度进行了研究。1999年特别关注“虚拟大学”，2000年特别关注“世界教育市场中的中国”。每个访问的国家在远程研究生课程方面都有悠久的历史和经验，这些课程在MBA、卫生服务或教育领域发挥着专业发展、经常性教育或继续教育的作用。美国和加拿大的媒体使用与英国不同。在前一种情况下，通常观察到没有面对面互动的在线教育计划，而面对面的教程和作业是不可或缺的组成部分，而在后一种情况下，学习者的媒体素养、成本和新媒体的可及性问题得到了高度考虑。这些特点在虚拟大学的形式中得到了明显的体现。一方忽视面对面交流，另一方试图维持面对面辅导的功能。英国和澳大利亚的远程研究生课程通常以亚洲教育市场为目标，中国被视为一个巨大的市场。
