Today, the use of multimedia teaching materials and the literacy of personal computer are necessary at least to the students of elementary and secondary schools, especially in science and mathematical educations for the highly information-oriented society. However, the teacher presently employed and the student of the teacher's college may not have enough ability in adaptation to the highly information-oriented society. Our project was therefore carried out to improve on the curriculum and content of science and mathematical educations in the teacher's college, and then to release our project's results to Web based learning (hereafter WBL ; it is the learning method through WWW ) in net work.The reform in science and mathematical educations was initially carried out. The teaching materials were developed in the multimedia style and finally, they could be remade to hypertext style. To my regret, they were not opened completely to the public, because LAN in Saitama University was not served for WWW. Our WBL site was therefore opened to the teachers in Saitama prefecture through the site of " WWW.e-sensei.ne.jp" of Toyo-kan publishing company. After that we sent our questionnaire to teachers presently employed on the our WBL. The responses of teachers to our questionnaire were collected, and then as concerns their expectations, there were three kinds of resources on WBL. They were first, the informational resources for the science experimentation, secondly, the site of the exchange among their comments and informations, and thirdly, the site to put their educational ideas in practice in home page (HP). Now, our project can grow up to next stage which the recurrent education (training) of teachers presently employed will be carried out through WBL.
