The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics (KCGI) and Kyoto Computer Gakuin (KCG) are using KCGI Kyoto Station Satellite KCG, using the “Desktop Projection Type Electronic Blackboard System” jointly developed in collaboration with industry and academia with Maxell Corporation and the Vegetable Planet Association. On October 10, 2017, we conducted a distance learning experiment connecting the Kamogawa School and KCGI Tokyo Satellite.This system shares images projected on a desk with three other locations via the Internet, allowing the class to proceed.
In the remote class on this day, Mr. Shinzo Kobayashi, a part-time lecturer of KCGI and a member of Vegetable Planet Association, gave a lecture from KCG Kamogawa School and students in three locations discussed about the development of teaching materials for e-learning.Taking advantage of the characteristics of the desk-based system, students discussed face to face, wrote down their proposals on the spot, and exchanged opinions with students in the remote classroom.This was the first time for us to use this system in our classes, but the students were very active in using the equipment.
This desk-top projection type electronic blackboard system will be presented by KCGI Associate Professor Keiji Emi at the e-Learning Award 2017 Forum, which will be held at the Sola City Conference Center in Tokyo on October 25-27, titled "Active Learning with Desk-top Electronic Blackboard System" (October 25, 11:05-11:40).At KCGI, Associate Professor Emi and Professor Kobayashi are conducting research on the development of e-learning materials using this desk projection electronic blackboard system in the "Media Collaboration" course newly established in April 2017.If you are interested, please join us at KCGI to further our research.
