Abstract(in English) Distance learning systems using the Internet enable time and distance constraints between trainers and trainees to be overcome. However, only a few such systems can be used for teaching dance or sport where human motion is the key focus of the lesson. This paper presents a distance learning system utilizing three-dimensional computer graphics (3DCG) for teaching human motion in dance and sport. The system enables the trainees to watch the human motions of dance or sport from any viewpoints by manipulating the graphics on the computer display. Moreover, trainees can ask questions and have real-time communication with the trainer using a chat function. An experimental system on a trial basis was applied to the learning of traditional folk dance, Sado-Okesa. The above mentioned functions of the system were shown to have significant positive effects on learning the human motion of Sado-Okesa.
