The Center aims at promoting the diversification and quality-enhancement of our graduate-level education through ICT based learning and/or electronic learning (e-learning) in response to reforms in higher educational organizations. The Center is carrying out interdepartmental activities such as research, planning programs, and developing and maintaining systems with respect to ICT based learning and/or e-learning in JAIST. In implementing distance-learning programs, collaborative projects with the schools and centers within JAIST are absolutely essential. The Center is also coordinating such collaborative projects.
