This course was designed to be a discipline of the ability for "planning project/business" and "designing/sending information", from the standpoint of "developping integrated ability".
The content is as follows :
In the first half (spring semester), the students planned and broadcast programs of "FM Hanamasu Japan", a local FM station in the city of Iwamizawa. (The students were divided into two groups, and each group made a program.)
In the latter half (fall semester), the students planned and broadcast one of 22 programs of "CS Distance Learning" presided by the Iwamizawa city school board and the Iwamizawa city education research laboratory. The program was broadcasted at the Iwamizawa City Community Network Center via interactive distance education system.
In each job, the students were put in a position responsible for the results, which is a precious experience for them. Thus, the content of the course may be expressed "real social practice".
