Abstract
In this paper, a collaborative distributed education method is proposed. This method combined traditional lecture in classroom with asynchronous dispersed information exchange system supported by web technology. An experiment lecture with this method has been done in order to practice the roadway design using LDT/Civil, a software based on 3D-CAD. This training is about not only how to use the software, but to create new ideas, establish models and finish drawings for roadway design. Teachers can discuss with students about their design works in the web page, and can check the procedure that students experienced in their homework. So it is possible for those expert engineers of CAD or roadway design to take part in practical education. In this way, the quality and the efficiency of educational activities are improved greatly compared with traditional method.
