Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we developed English and IT e-learning materials based on our preliminary studies, and improved them based on the feedback from the users; teachers and students. Both of the materials can be used on Moodle, one of the open-source course management systems. As for the English materials, we developed animated video clips called “Culture Swap” with textbooks and supplementary audio materials, which are available online for free.
