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

研究小组的四个小组在过去的三年里继续进行研究和开发。(1)设计一个系统的信息教育课程作为一个学术部门：我们调查了其他大学的人文课程信息教育。我们还研究了在商业或国际舞台上的一些期望。在此基础上，我们设计了一套系统的信息教育课程。(2)远程教育支援系统介绍：引进了简单的视频会议系统和远程会议系统，使滨松校区和静冈校区之间的通信更加顺畅。我们还在学校的茶点空间准备了网络终端，以便学生和教师可以轻松访问学习材料和支持系统。loped一个用户识别系统，以便在未来，学生将能够访问和参与不同的课程。对该系统进行了试验。(3)利用媒体进行教材开发：我们开发了各种不同的技能和知识，如信息处理，多媒体设计，系统分析和数据库设计的教材。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VTR的一部分通过其概念和示例被注册到数据库系统中，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，使用不同的方式。通过调查和学生的自我评价，我们认为，所开发的课程内容和方法都有了改进，符合学生的需要、理解水平和教育目标，达到了预期的目的。

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.
