Abstract:
From Hardware-oriented to Information-accessibility-oriented
--Information Educational Facilities and Environment in Fukuoka Institute of Technology--
Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT) was founded in 1964. Today, it has a total enrollment of 6000 students who are studying in three faculties and graduate school. As the general management and maintenance agency, the information processing center has been producing and supporting the educational facilities for computer science and information processing in FIT over a long term of years. In order to pertinently meet the needs of today's college education, we shifted our policy recently to give priority to the network resource accessibility as well as the development of educational digital contents. As the results, first, the backbone of the LAN in FIT was structured with 4 layer-3 GigaEthernet switches and optical fibers, providing a maximum throughput of 4 Gbps. Every school building was connected to the backbone with high speed switches. The LAN in FIT was connected to SINET and ISP's via 100Mbps-VLAN and FTTH, respectively. For the purpose of offering the students in FIT an ubiquitous Internet access, about 3000 Ethernet connectors were set up all over the campus. Second, An e-Learning system and facilities were built with a commercial LMS (Learning Management System) and numbers of PC's with the authoring tools installed. Over 10 courses of commercial and hand-made contents, which are used or planned to be used in daily lectures in ondemand-style or live-style, were developed and introduced into the e-Learning system. Developments of further courses are ongoing.
