Creative lesson by using Cyber Theater Scenario Language: CTSL

To improve and to aid the courses of computer-based education in elementary school, we developed new educational support tool named cyber theater. Cyber theater provides the capability of easy making the 3D-CG animation of children´s story by using script language named CTSL (Cyber Theater Scenario Language). We hope schoolteachers are able to use cyber tales as teaching materials in elementary school. We also hope that upper-aged pupils (including junior high school and high school) are able to make their original 3D-CG animation stories. We call it creative lesson. Creative lesson uses the CTSL Learning Kit (CLKit), which includes several sample scenarios written by CTSL. CLKit is designed for learning how to make the 3D-CG real time animation. In this paper, we report the details of CLKit and the results of experiment of creative lesson.
