Overall research on curriculum development of Informatics in the faculty whitch has liberal arts cources.

课题组中的四个课题组在过去的三年里一直在继续研究和开发。(1)信息教育系统课程的设计作为一个学术部门：我们调查了其他大学信息教育人文课程的课程。我们还研究了商业或国际舞台上的一些期望。在调查结果的基础上，我们设计了一套系统的信息教育课程。(2)远程教育支持系统介绍：我们介绍了一个简单的视频会议系统和一个促进滨松和静冈校区之间顺畅交流的电话会议系统。我们还在学校的茶点空间准备了网络终端，以便学生和教职员工可以方便地访问学习材料和支持系统。改进了用户识别系统，以便学生在未来能够访问和参与不同的课程。利用多媒体进行教材开发：针对信息处理、多媒体设计、系统分析、数据库设计等不同技能和知识，开发了不同类型的教材。这些材料现在在数字视频、印刷文本和CD-ROM上很有用。特别是，录像机的一部分通过它的概念和例子被登记在数据库系统中，并被学生使用。(4)课程开发和评估：我们调查了这些尝试如何改变学生和教师的想法，用不同的方式。我们的各种调查和学生自己的评价表明，开发的课程的内容和方法都有所改进，现在满足了学生的需求、理解水平或教育目标，从这些结果来看，我们认为三年的研究项目已经达到了最初的目的。

The four groups in the research team have continued the investigation and development for the last three years.(1) Designing A Systematic Curriculum for Information Education as An Academic Department :We investigated other university curriculums in humanistic courses for information education. We also researched what some of the expectations are in business or international arenas. Based on the results of such investigations, we designed a systematic curriculum for information education.(2) Introducing A Supporting System for Distant Education : We introduced a simple video-conferencing system and a tele-conferencing system which facilitate smooth communication between Hamamatsu and Shizuoka campuses. We also prepared network terminals at refreshment spaces in school so that students and faculties can easily access to study materials and supporting systems. loped an user identifying system so that in the future, students will be able to access and participate in different courses. A trialversion of this system was experimented.(3) Using Media for Teaching Material Development : We developed various teaching materials for different kinds of skills and knowledge such as information processing, multimedia designing, system analysis, and database designing. These materials are now useful on digital video, printing text, and CD-ROM.Particularly, a part of VTR was registered in a database system by its concept and example, and was used by students.(4) Curriculum Development and Evaluation : We investigated how these attempts changed the minds of students and faculties, using different ways. Our various investigation and students' own evaluation suggest that the content and methods of the developed curriculums have improved and now meet thestudents' needs, understanding level, or educational objectives.According to these results, we believe that the three year research project has accomplished the original purpose.
