A distance-education self-learning support system based on a VOD server

The research presented here belongs to a framework research on distance educational training for teachers, presented in a different panel session. Our goal with this research is to accumulate information for teachers, about established teaching methodologies and techniques, as lesson example videos. We are currently developing an environment for facilitating the usage of these example movies, via a VOD retrieval server. The domain of our classroom examples is "Information Education", a new subject introduced in the Japanese curriculum.
