Abstract

An experiment on the personal distance learning by the use of video-phone was investigated at Katsuraomura- multimedia- village, wherein four hundreds and seventy of all residential families were temporarily installed video-phone for three years from 1998 with the intention of daily use. It was found that the personal distance learning by the use of video-phone was fairly acceptable for the student, but a marked characteristic of study at home was observed as not a little decrease in power of concentration.
