Outline of Final Research Achievements

I investigated existing educational tools that support learning activity of informatics and clarified the learning topics that are not covered by these tools. Then I designed learing model of informatics with learning tools oriented for hands-on activity, applied the model to several class practices and clarified its effectiveness and issues.
I also analyzed the impact of distance learning style on informatics, and developed and implemented a tool for recording students' learning activities on PCs as an approach for solving the difficulties of learning support in distance classes.
