Enhanced TERAKOYA learning system providing multi-point remote interactive lessons

The present paper discusses a new collaborative TERAKOYA learning system for remedial education. TERAKOYA learning system provides both an interactive lesson and a small private school just like the 18th-century Japanese basic school called TERAKOYA. This system helps students study actively anywhere on campus, and it provides an interactive evening lesson in the dormitory using Tablet PCs on a WLAN and custom-built applications. Furthermore, the proposed learning system was implemented in a girl´s dormitory over one year. After conducting the test, the feasibility and practicality of the system in helping the students study actively and willingly was verified by employing a handwritten electric whiteboard with verbal communication through a headset.
