This paper outlines the present state of the educational use of computer communication networks in Japan. Computer communication is now growing rapidly in Japanese society as a whole, and its educational community is not an exception. After giving general figures on the use of computers in Japanese education and describing government proposals on information networks for education, this paper summarizes different types of on-line educational activities. It includes databases for instructional materials, information exchange and computer conferencing on some major networks, local and grassroots networks, and academic networks. Research activity on the use of educational computer communication is reviewed, and the need for further research is emphasized, especially on the psycho-social aspects of computer communication.
