Recently we have confronted with lots of serious problems on instructing students, for instance school refusal, bully, violence in schools including even class/school collapse which are most serious for teachers and people concerned to education. In order to take an urgent counter measure on them, we tried to complete an educational counseling/consultant system supported by a teleconference system through an internet. Fortunately we had successfully good results as follows below both in aspects of hardware and software.1) The number of schools equipped with a computer network is gradually increasing year by year. There are about 38,000 schools in Japan. Among these schools, the ratio of which schools connected to an internet is 10% more or less as of the end of 1998. The ratio of which schools equipped with a ISDN 64 is estimated less than half of the 10 %2) The security of such computer system as a teleconference system has been relatively guaranteed by specifying a password or IP add … More ress for accessing to the reflector, in order to identify each client.3) Transmission speed at the node connecting with SINET and private sectors* computer networks is estimated to be 20-30 Kbps which is inefficient to transmit image/sound data at high speed.4) The regular functions of teleconference system have been influenced by a traffic situation on an internet more than one expected.5) By adjusting some values for maintaining regularly function in transmitting/receiving image/sound data, any kinds of computer have been adopted to this system without troubles.6) Keeping communication between two sites, so called a point to point through an internet transmitting/receiving image/sound data has been much more easier to communicate.7) Eventually this system will be realized very soon in aspect of hardware. However we must conquer with a great deal problems to a proper use in aspect of software, for examples constructing a good human relationship between teachers and experts, or cooperation between institutions/universities and any prefectural education centers/schools, training/securing regular member of experts, and also budget issues.
