Despite the all high school students in Japan are required to learn informatics, many of them do not learn sufficiently. Under the circumstance (because of this situation), we propose some lesson support package for high school informatics class. To examine the survey about what students learned and if they understood sufficiently, we carried out a questionnaire survey to 186 students. We analyzed the result of questionnaire and found that their weakest unit. That is Basic computer configuration and Memory and the secondary storage. Then we developed a package for learning these units. We report that our package and that we lessoned at a high school and a university using our package.

Digital instrument shelters are weather monitoring units that are equipped with connectivity to the internet and measuring temperature, humidity, pressure, wind direction, wind speed, and rainfall at a lower cost. Since 2007, we have developed the Weather Visualization System that retrieves data from digital instrument shelters and shows the location icon of each sensor and each one of the icons plotted on the map is color-coded according to the local temperature, humidity, pressure, wind direction, wind speed and rainfall. In this paper, we report our activities until now and the problems on the installation and the operation of a digital instrument shelter during the past year.

本学の単位認定型完全e-learningの科目で情報系の講義である「ソフトウェアデザイン」において、昨年度までに各コンテンツの利用状況と成績との間に相関がみられるか解析を行ってきた。その結果、コンテンツの利用状況と成績との間には関係があることが明らかになった。その結果を用いて今年度の授業に向けてコンテンツの改善・追加が行われてきたが、より正確なデータを得るためさらに細かい解析を行う必要がでてきた。そのため本研究では昨年度までに得られた結果からさらに追跡調査を行いコンテンツ作成に役立てていくと共に、必要な解析結果をすぐに得ることができるような自動解析ツールを設計し、授業の実施から解析・コンテンツの改善までを一連の流れとした運用モデルを提案する。この運用モデルにより、完全e-learning型講義の内容を学習者の学習状況にあわせて迅速に対応させていくことが可能となる。

We have developed e-learning contents that cover Java programming basics. We applied our system to department junior year on a trial basis this spring semester. In this paper, we introduce full details regarding our system, brief summary of contents, operational procedures, and report result of course evaluation.

We have developed "PC Maestro" that is a broadband content including videos and animation for studying Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. In this paper, we introduce HTML version that adopts a new approach to original system. Learners write html sources and style sheets using the proprietary editor and are able to confirm how the browser show the source immediately. Department freshmen were required to use this system for their class. Consequently, PC Maestro html version received acclaim from students.
