Abstract

This Technical Information analyzes the learners' responses to information ambience at distant lectures from a Japanese university to a Malaysia university. The inspection results suggest that these responses depend on attributes of the learners. The group of graduate students and faculty members in the faculty of engineering evaluated the distant lecture as a good means of acquiring information and knowledge directly from experts around the world. However the group of undergraduates in the faculty of management requested more direct interactions between the lecturer and learners. Furthermore, the investigation of the affecting factors of information ambience suggests the intellectual levels of the learners are a significant attribute of their responses.
