"Professionals for all schools", a general incorporated association that supports career education at Shizuoka University, University of Fukui, and remote schools, has developed a "virtual transfer student app" that allows avatars to randomly give various opinions, and from December 2021. Started to use it for classes in small classes.
According to Shizuoka University, the app is a mechanism in which the avatar displayed on the screen of a computer or tablet dares to express dissenting or wrong opinions during class, giving an opportunity to come into contact with various opinions in a small class. The motion portrait technology of ax Co., Ltd., which develops AI (artificial intelligence) applications, is used.
With this app, even a small class with only 1 students per class will be able to come up with more diverse opinions, and it will be possible to proceed with lessons that are not inferior to the appropriate size classes in urban areas.
Collaborative learning, which is required to be enriched in the course of study, can be noticed from the diverse opinions of children and students, but it is not possible to maintain the appropriate size of the class in small classes such as depopulated areas. , It is difficult to touch various opinions.Therefore, Shizuoka University and others have developed an app for small-scale classes where human relationships are fixed and only a small number of opinions are given.
A public class using this app will be held on the 18th at Koshino Junior High School in Omi-cho, Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture.In the moral class of Toshiyuki Mukai, the news media visit the class online.
