| Research Abstract |
We have investigated the new technology-based distance higher education in USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and Japan in terms of the concept called "Open Learning". The findings which we can summarize are as follows :
(1) USA has been leading the new technology-based distance higher education among the five countries above-mentioned. We can find the development of the on-line courses at the graduate level education which have targeted on the market of employees who work for companies.
(2) As for the in-house training programs based on learning technology which companies are doing, the situations among the five countries is same as low in use. But the Japanese situation is the lowest.
(3) In addition to the distance program delivered by the distance education institutions, the traditional universities have developed their own distance programs based on new learning technologies. Japan is very delayed in developing the distance program designed for the market of cooperate employees.
