| Research Abstract |
We developed a Web bulletin board system enhanced by a knowledge map. The system is called NakSun. Using NakSun, learners can determine the coordinates, or location, of a node that has been entered. Our results found that the use of the knowledge map was a comparatively effective tool to facilitate collaborative learning.
We analyzed children's Web browsing behavior during Information Communication Technology (ICT) classes at an elementary school. Children's page viewing times for Web pages were specifically analyzed. Results revealed that younger children viewed pages for significantly shorter periods of time when compared to, older children.
In addition, we examined the features of communication when using a BBS in a counseling environment for non-attendance children, who typically,cannot communicate with other people well. A practical experiment was taken in this research. The research suggested 1) The BBS can be used for communication of non-attendance children and 2) Non-attendance children could communicate broadly and tended to speak by using the BBS.
