Abstract
The use of Computer Mediated Conferences (CMC) has gained popularity in various fields of human activity. Some pioneers have reported experiments in the field of education either to support remote learners in Open Learning institutions, or to teach at distance. We have designed the first generation of a CMC system tailored for education, based on the French videotex network. We have also tested this, and a summary of the first results is reported here. The human communication process, even if it is mediated by a computer, is very complex and requires the contribution of disciplines such as psychology, linguistics, and social sciences. The design of a new generation of CMC system adapted to educational goals is an ambitious task, which calls for very flexible work-benches to allow for multiple and various experiments. It also needs to solve a number of fundamental issues, of which seven are highlighted, and to explore new foundations and paradigms for such a design.
I would like to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of my colleagues Danièle Clément, Christian Ladesou, and Claude Viéville in the preparation of this paper
