A Cooperative Learning System for Financial Education Using ICT

Abstract

This paper shows a cooperative learning system for financial education using information communication technology (ICT). Financial education has not been spread satisfactorily among consumers. The reason is a lack of both time and teachers. We attempt to solve this problem using a finance support system. This system adopts three approaches to the problem. First, we asked financial specialists to participate in the system as advisors of financial education. Second, we provide an online network system to help the people who do not have enough time. The final approach is a cooperative system in which consumers themselves will help each other. Prior to the system development, we explored consumers' demands using a questionnaire.
