Background (Cont.)

• Constant changes in technology
• Learners have no enough time staying at classroom
• Technology of Computer Communication
• Distance education system
• When separated with instructor by space and/or
  time, learners staying far away can participate
  in a course on-line or off-line.

Background

• Two main characteristics
• (1) seeing hearing
• (2) shared activity-
• question-answer, e-board, documents, data
  interaction, BBS, etc

• Interaction among participators
• (1) asynchronous information exchanging
• (2) synchronous information exchanging
• (3) collective discussion
• (4) collaborative environment

Benefits among Participators

• Text Discussion
• Virtual Group Speech Discussion
• E-learning Tools
• Multi-Resource for Studying
• Improvement on Transmitting Performance
• E-board Using
• Discovering on Learners Interests

Future Works

• Shortcoming
• Learners cant use the e-board, the instructor
  cant see the facial response of learners to his
  class, and so on.
• Virtual classroom
