Abstract :
Innovative Ph.D. program has been conducted to produce young scientists of a top level in the world. This program has been supported by the Ministry of Education, Japan, as one of 21st century COE (Center of Excellence) programs. Ten professors with different specialty educate Ph.D. students through a weekly COE seminar, a training camp, an international workshop and others. The Web-based e-learning and Web-based meeting systems are used extensively in this program. New authoring software, which can build high quality e-learning contents efficiently, has been developed and used here. This program has been producing about 10 Ph.D. scientists every year since 2003.
