Research in the Multiple Effects of New Media in Higher Education

1. 节目制作：在参与人员的广泛支持下，制作了《新媒体在日本高等教育中的应用》、《面向未来的远程教育》等视频光盘，利用并介绍了视频光盘特殊的互动特性。教材学习实验：从1984年开始，利用双向有线电视Hi-OVIS系统，对“Hi-OVIS社区学院”的观众进行了学习实验。今年采用了一种真正让观众参与的方法，既证明了距离可以比讲课更重要，又得到了监视器的高度评价。此外，Hi-OVIS的教育材料也在日本各地的7个有线电视台播放。这些都是单向有线电视台，但一项调查结果显示人们对双向节目很感兴趣。国际信息交流：开展了与高等教育使用新媒体有关的信息交流，包括教材交流。从美国、英国、澳大利亚和西德收到了光盘教育材料。还收集了许多研究报告。关于在高等教育中使用远程办公，通过远程办公进行了问答和信息交流，还举行了一次计算机会议。就真正的教育内容而言，调查者变成了学习者，而远程会议被证明是一种极具成本效益的教育系统。交互式教育材料的开发：从对可用软件的调查来看，很明显，用于开发CAI材料的创作系统是不够的。为此，利用计算机语言编写了物理实验程序CAI教学程序。

1. The production of programs: Videodiscs titled "The use of the new media in higher education in Japan today," and "Distance education for tomorrow" were produced with the broad support of the people involved, both to make use of and to introduce the special interactive characteristics of the videodisc.2. A learning experiment with educational materials: Continuing from 1984, using the two-way CATV Hi-OVIS system a learning experiment involving viewers of the "Hi-OVIS Community College" was carried out. This year a method which really involved the viewers was employed, both proving that distance can be more than lecturing, and receiving the high evaluation of the monitors. Also, the Hi-OVIS educational material was broadcast on 7 CATV stations around Japan. These are one-way CATV stations, but the results of an investigation showed that there was much interest in two-way programs.3. The international exchange of information: The exchange of information related to the use of new media by higher education, including the exchange of educational materials, was carried out. Videodisc educational materials were received from America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and West Germany. Many research reports were also collected. With regard to the use of telecomputing in higher education, questions and answers and information exchange was carried out via telecomputing, and a computer conference was also held. In terms of real educational content, investigators became learners, and teleconferencing was shown to be a highly cost effective educational system.4. The development of interactive educational materials: From an investigation of the softwear available it became clear that authoring systems for the development of CAI materials are inadequate. Therefore, using computer language, a CAI program for teaching experimentation procedures in physics was produced.
