Development of ICT System for Collaborating Multiple Classrooms

Abstract

We discuss how to achieve an ICT system for linking several classrooms. The concluded important points for developing the system should have functions of (1) promoting much higher activity than in a single classroom, (2) stimulating discussion between a teacher and students or among students in different classrooms, and (3) not requiring a cost at the beginning and for maintenance. The completed system consists of a single server with a scheduling functions and a function of parent-child-grandchild devices supporting a direct discussion between a teacher and students or among students in different classrooms.
