Abstract
This study targeted building up the basis of research for telecontrol between the National Colleges of Technology (NCTs) and Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) using the Internet, and considered experience-based education using telecontrol. We constructed telecontrol environments for four NCTs and TUT, and a total of over 140 students worked in this environment as operators of telecontrol. We investigate the quality of communication environments, studied the amount of operator work, and had operators fill out questionnaires to evaluate the telecontrol environment and the contents of experience-based education using telecontrol. We confirmed by comparing the communication environment with the amount and accuracy of operator work for verification that the built-up control environment enabled telecontrol experiments to be done safely on the Science Information Network (SINET). Over 80% of the operators surveyed evaluated experiment “interest” and “utility” positively.
