Abstract
With the rapid development of information technology (IT) and the Internet growth, it is widely accepted that computer and information communication literacy has become extremely important, and will play a major part in everyone's lives in the future. In order to teach the next generations computer literacy, it is first necessary to train our teachers. In Japan a new teachers' education framework is being built, to enhance the teachers' teaching skills and information literacy, with special focus on Internet and Multimedia. Our research belongs to this new research direction. The purpose of this study is to propose and develop a distance educational model, as a school-based curriculum development and training-system. In this environment, a teacher can learn via an Internet-based self-training system about subject contents, modern teaching know-how, and students' learning activities evaluation methods, about the new subject called "Information". We call our system RAPSODY: Remote and AdaPtive educational System Offering a DYnamic communicative environment. In this paper, we describe the structure, functions and mechanism of our distance educational model and then discuss the educational meaning of this model within the new learning ecology, based on multi-modality and new learning situations and forms. Finally, we perform some tests and evaluation and show our current results.
