A Joint Study of Intelligent Multimedia on Technology Education.

根据Kure国立技术学院（KNCT）和毛伊岛社区学院（MCC）之间的联合研究协议，我们启动了一个为期三年的项目，主要有三个目的；1)通过计算机媒介交流（以下简称CMC）活动促进KNCT和MCC学生之间的国际交流；2)设计和改善通过CMC活动进行国际交流的适当课堂环境；最后，3)为我们的项目开发和建立适当的学习系统。到目前为止，已经尝试了四种不同的方法；实践一（1998）、实践二（1999）、实践三（1999-2000）和实践四（2000-2001）。首先，通过实践一和实践二，仔细描述和讨论了KNCT和MCC学生对我们项目的印象的异同。然后，参考van Lier关于熟练程度增长的观点（1996:1-67）和White和Arndt关于过程写作方法的观点（1991:1-10），我们设计了实践III和实践IV，并将其引入我们的大学环境中。最后，通过对这些实践和两项调查的反思，总结了设计合适的课堂环境和管理的一些教学意义。

Under the joint research agreement between Kure National College of Technology (KNCT) and Maui Community College (MCC), we launched a three-year project with three main purposes ; 1) to facilitate international exchange between KNCT and MCC students through computer-mediated communication (henceforth CMC) activities, 2) to design and improve appropriate classroom environments for the international exchange through CMC activities, and finally, 3) to develop and establish appropriate learning systems for our project.So far, four different kinds of approaches have been attempted ; Practice I(1998), Practice II(1999), Practice III(1999-2000) and Practice IV(2000-2001). First of all, through Practice I and II, the similarities and differences of both KNCT and MCC students' impressions on our project are carefully described and discussed.Then, Practice III and IV have been designed and introduced into our college context referring to van Lier's idea on the growth of proficiency (1996 : 1-67) and White and Arndt's idea on process writing approach(1991 : 1-10). Finally, reflecting on these practices and two surveys, some pedagogical implications for designing appropriate classroom environments and management are summarized.
