Development of Virtual Exploratory Learning for Cyber Assistant Professor (CAP)

Abstract

We have developed the education system named CAP (Cyber Assistant Professor) which is an interactive e-Education system based on the 3D-CG animation and voice synthesis. Further, we have developed the animation scenario language named CPSL3 (Cyber Person Scenario Language 3) to reduce a production cost of teaching materials. These were not easy for some of students to get to the correct answer for lack of knowledge about scientific terms, electric parts or chemical materials. To improve this situation, we have developed the new function named Virtual Exploratory Learning (VEL) in CPSL3 Tag-commands. We have practiced the Virtual Science Experiment in the junior high school. This paper reports these results and effectiveness of our system.
