VIEW Classroom (遠隔分散教育システム)における教師生徒間の対話支援

This paper describes the system to support interaction between a teacher and students in VIEW Classroom, a distance education system. In classes a basic interaction corresponds to answer questions from students by a teacher. In conventional classes, a teacher may not be able to answer all questions and he cannot know which question is important before the selection of a student. Two major functions are realized in the interaction support system of VIEW Classroom. 1) Classification of questions by meaning is realized. It can be used to select important questions. 2) Questions and corresponding answers are stored in database, so that related questions-answers can be displayed when a question is prepared.
