Abstract

This paper focuses on HyperMirror—one of the distance learning environments—and discusses the course of lectures on HyperMirror. HyperMirror is a special type of videoconferencing system. In HyperMirror, everyone appears in the same video image; in other words, everyone appears as if they are in the same room. The characteristics of HyperMirror effect on distance learning. In addition, it is important to understand the characteristics of HyperMirror in order to plan the lesson utilizing HyperMirror. In this paper, first, we developed a Web site that provides information about HyperMirror and explains its characteristics. Second, we implemented a course of lecture combined with visiting the Web site and the experience of HyperMirror. To begin with, participants in this combined course visited the Web site and obtained information about HyperMirror. Next, they experienced HyperMirror. According to the questionnaire that the participants answered before visiting the Web site and after the experience, it was clear that the Web site was useful for understanding the characteristics of HyperMirror. However, some characteristics of HyperMirror were well understood by only the Web site, the others were understood better by the experience of HyperMirror. On the basis of these results, we believe that not only information about HyperMirror but also experience of HyperMirror should be available on the web.
