Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a distance learning environment using the Internet on satellite link where the Internet infrastructure is insufficient. We call these areas "Internet developing areas" in our paper. The merit of distance learning is that students can receive cutting edge lectures from professors all over the world. However, Internet developing areas have difficulty to receive such lectures through the Internet. We proposed a distance learning environment that can be applied to these areas using a satellite link as an Internet infrastructure. As we wanted to deliver lectures to as many places at low cost, we proposed to use the satellite link as receive only link to deliver a lecture, and use the local Internet connection for realtime feedback from the students. We conducted 45 lectures including 5 lecture courses as proof experiments, and evaluated our system. As result, new and effective distance learning environment was proposed, and educational collaborations are made possible.
