Abstract

This paper describes the summary of Cyber Assistant Professor2 (CAP2) and the scenario language named Cyber Person Scenario Language 3(CPSL3). CAP2 provides the capability of producing interactive educational contents which can visualize the invisible science phenomena using 3D-CG animations, as easy to produce as a Web page on the internet. And on the modification of scenarios, CAP2 also provides the capability of changing, revising or extending the story on the spot of syllabus planning. This reusability is superior to actual videos. This paper also describes about science teaching materials developed by using CPSL3 and the details of Virtual Experiment using CAP. We confirmed that the Interactive Lecture and the Virtual Experiment using CAP are very useful for junior high school students. However, we cannot say their attained grade of Virtual Experiment to be good. To improve these situations, we have developed the new function named Virtual Exploratory Learning (VEL) mode in CAP2 system.
