Classes are designed so that task-achievement is centered. Students are of teacher training course. Tasks assigned to them are typically teaching-script making, teaching objects making, teaching performance design, and presentation of the product.

Given a theme, students must, first, understand its essence/meaning. They do this by using web-based learning system (sefl-teaching system). They can learn "webpage-making" too, in the same way.
Next, they are to make story and objects to be presented.
The contents making literacies which students should raise are about HTML, FTP, and Flash (Macromedia).
