Then, in this display frame N, in addition to the face of the interrogator, each operation indicating the behavior of raising hand, standing up, and speaking is sequentially displayed. For this reason, on the screens 9a and 19a, the student S appears to be standing up with his hands raised and speaking from the state of sitting at the study desk H. When the input devices of the personal computers 1 and 3 are operated in a predetermined procedure, the details of the questions and answers are displayed on the blackboard K of the classroom R. Since the display content of the blackboard K can be enlarged and displayed on the screens 9a and 19a, it is easy for everyone to understand.

When such a question and answer is over, the process proceeds to another program, for example, a home room. This home room also has various patterns prepared in advance,
For example, when performing free talking, the instructor T selects the program. In this free talking, a class member and a moderator are selected, and the theme of the discussion is set by the instructor T, or the class member or the student S
Ask for opinions and decide. Then, under the leadership of the moderator, a free discussion on the subject will begin. At this time, the instructor T becomes the assistant, and assists the progress by, for example, superimposing the class members and the moderator in the display frame N on the screens 9a and 19a on which the student S is displayed, as shown in FIG. I do. When the student S gives an opinion, his / her face is displayed slightly larger by the operation of each student PC 3 and then said. Then, the student S pays attention to the speaker, can listen to opinions well, and can perform free talking with all participants. Thereafter, when the end time of the home room approaches, all the instructors T comment on the class and the home room to S, and explain homework and the like.

When the end time comes, an audio signal is transmitted from the electronic education server 2 to each of the personal computers 1 and 3.
For this reason, a bell sound is emitted from the speakers 10 and 20, and the end of the lesson is notified. In addition, the faces of the instructor T and the student S in the classroom R are sequentially erased, and the virtual reality classroom R is erased.
Leave the room. Then, as shown in FIG.
At 19a, only the classroom R is displayed in the same manner as before the start of the class shown in FIG. Thereby, a series of classroom classes based on the class program is completed. By the way, when the student S desires an individual lesson, an operation for requesting an individual lesson is performed before and after this classroom class. Then, the instructor T and the student S are connected via the Internet 4, and individual guidance becomes possible.
