During this year, Faculty of Engineering, Ibaraki University has introduced Tele Teaching System between two campuses in Hitachi and Mito using campus wide network system. Various E-learning contents including high definition video (HDV) libraries of lectures have been produced and power point slide lecture presentations were presented as a pilot project. In general, engineering education is based on mathematics and physics. The repeat of learning or training of mathematics and physics is the way for mastering these subjects. Repeat of learning is a key for obtaining better understanding of lessons given in graduate school level education. The records of lectures by high definition video and the distribution the power point presentations by using web techniques provide better educational environment for graduate school students. A very promising method of ICT-based teaching and learning is computer-supported interactive tele-teaching. Therefore, it is much more popular among the graduate schools’ students. Because, it allows simultaneous transmission of real-time audio and video streams parallel to digitally-stored shareable teaching documents between two campuses. It also builds a bridge from traditional teaching to ICT-based distributed teaching and learning. We found a number of factors to be requirements, including existing network infrastructure and supportive attitudes from the involved students. According to our survey, this tele teaching method of teaching can be used effectively between two campuses. The aim of this paper is to provide high quality E-learning course contents combine with production of HDV contents and improve the graduate school education using tele teaching. It is identified that multimedia type course contents are very popular among the students and study of repetition is much more attractive among the engineering students.
