Abstract

As an Asian Multimedia Forum project, we conducted an international experiment on distance training using a Web-based training system (CALAT) to teach an LSI design system (PARTHENON). The PARTHENON system is not only useful in education and research on LSI design, but has also been applied to study computer architecture, neural networks, evolutionary computing, artificial intelligence, and so on. We conducted this experiment in two steps: (1) distance training using CALAT-PARTHENON courseware over the Internet; (2) distance training with partial use of the PARTHENON system over the Internet. Seven universities in five Asian countries took part in this education experiment by providing students. Feedback received to date from the students has been positive.
