Abstract: A remote lecturing system includes a first storage for storing contents of at least one lecture of a lecturer, a second storage for storing questions and corresponding answers related to each lecture stored in the first storage, a reproducing part for retrieving from the first storage the contents of an arbitrary lecture which is requested in response to an external request from a terminal station which is operated by a student at an arbitrary time and for transferring the retrieved contents to the first terminal station, and an answer obtaining part for retrieving from the second storage an answer which corresponds to a question from the terminal station. The answer obtaining part interrupts the transfer of the contents of the arbitrary lecture from the reproducing part to the terminal station when the question is raised from the terminal station.
