Experiment for Proof of Synchronous-Symmetry Distance Education among International Multiple Classrooms connecting three or more Universities

在此之前，作者已经对同步对称远程教育进行了十三年的研究，虽然IT：信息技术在这期间取得了大规模的进展，但教育界、教师、网络工程师、学习者和观察者还没有积累足够的经验和提取技术诀窍。尽管有了技术手段，但文化实际上还没有形成。然而，在一定的预算和人力条件下，四国四校同步对称的国际远程教育在功能和可控性上似乎取得了成功，因此，“三四法”似乎将成为标准，“三四法”是将正方形的显示器分成四个部分，对应四个位置，正好合适，没有多余的显示空间。我们称之为“三四法”，即四个国家、四所大学和四个分区展示。（三国三校）和第四频道BBS也相当可观，但对于普通高校教师来说，这是一个超载的问题，从以往的经验来看，“三四法”是一种简单、先进、稳定的方法。语言教育和跨文化教育是最合适的，迄今为止，科学研究补助金项目已经在这方面进行了试验。今后，随着参与者的增多和经验的积累，许多内容有望在学分互换的正式课堂上得到实践。

The authors have been studying the synchronous-symmetry distance education before this project for thirteen years sponsored by Grant-in Aid for Scientific Research.Although IT : Information Technology has been progressed on a large scale in this term, people concerned education, teachers, network engineers, learners and observers, have not stored yet sufficient experiences and extracted know-how. In spite of getting technological means, the culture has actually not been consisted yet. However, the international synchronous-symmetry distance education among four countries and four universities has been seemed successful in the mind of functions and controlablity under the given budget and manpower, so it seems Triple-four Method will be standard.Triple-four Method is to divide the square display to four parts corresponding to four sites just fitting without vain display space. We call it Triple-four Method with four countries, four universities and four divided display.Three sites(three countries and three universities) and BBS at fourth channel is also considerable, it is overload but for regular university teachers and by the passed experiences, Triple-four Method is easy and in advance for stability.On the contents of international synchronous-symmetry distance education, language education and cross-cultural education are most suitable and have been experimented in this by Grant-in Aid for Scientific Research project so far. Hereafter, getting more participants and experiences, it is expected that many contents will be developed to practice in the formal classes which are credit-exchangeable.
