“…Reviewing several successful examples of webbased collaborative design studio projects conducted by a group of schools at remote locations (Wojtowicz, 1995;Yee, 1998), Kumamoto University started in 1996 several experiments to apply such techniques to a studio as a solution to the communication problems of conventional studios.…”

http://morolab.arch.kumamoto-u.ac.jp/ Since 1996, Kumamoto University has repeated several experiments to apply web-based collaborative design techniques to a junior design studio to stimulate students' interaction in the class and to enhance their design abilities. As it became evident after a two-year experiment that writing web pages and uploading them to a web server was a barrier of communication for students, the authors developed a web-based groupware called GW-Notebook, and started using it in 1998. In the fall semester of 2000, the authors tested the groupware in a revised version, and a new program of studio instructions that assumed the use of the groupware. This paper, referring students' answers to two sets of questionnaire respectively carried out in 1997 and 2000, discusses the effectiveness of groupware and the instruction program.

“…A format that we have returned to after four years and find offers very good opportunities for learning. We think of it as a virtual form of study abroad or exchange.Over the last few years, a number of institutions have conducted virtual design studios (Chen 1994;Danahy 1995;Dave 1995;Maher 1997;McIntosh 1996;Tan 1995;Yee 1998;Wojtowicz 1995Wojtowicz , 1998) using a variety of approaches. This paper reports on our findings and aims to add to the developing discourse on virtual design studio with a description of our approach and a series of general findings from our experiments.…”
