This paper reports on an experiment spanning 3 years that was conducted to gain an insight into the state of distance education in the doctoral program of a school of education. There is also a description of the structure of the information and communication network used in the courses. Distance education in graduate schools can be expected to be effective for the research guidance of both on-campus and off-campus students. The network requires confidentially, moving images that convey the expressions of others, clear audio, sharing of images, and the ability for participants to control communications, among other things.
