Kanazawa Institute of Technology and IBM Japan (President Paul Yonamine, Tokyo) will cooperate in building a student self-growth support system using IBM's cognitive computing (* 1).By evaluating individual learning results with artificial intelligence technology including IBM's Watson and providing new learning opportunities tailored to each individual, we will develop human resources who can create next-generation innovation.

 According to Kanazawa Institute of Technology, a mechanism that accumulates the history learned by university students and faculty members in IBM's system, supports decision-making for individual growth, and promotes active learning by artificial intelligence.

 Kanazawa Institute of Technology has built a learning support system of about 141 days a year by linking regular lessons based on the curriculum with 300 extracurricular education programs that students voluntarily work on.In addition, the e-syllabus (* 2014), which was adopted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's 2 University Education Regeneration Acceleration Program and clearly shows the relationship between what is learned in class and the extracurricular education program, began full-scale operation in 2016.While accumulating learning results as big data, it was required to further evolve the evaluation system so far and improve the quality of learning.

 The self-growth support system to be built will be available to students from smartphones and PCs, and will be a system that supports student decision-making in regular and extracurricular activities.

* 1 A system that allows the system to learn through cognitive computing experience, establish correlations, and learn from results.
* 2 Syllabus A rough study plan for lectures and lessons, and may refer to memos and electronic records that include all the information necessary for attending, from the content of each lecture to the method of contacting teachers.
