Osaka Kyoiku University and Fujitsu (President Tatsuya Tanaka, Tokyo) have built an interactive active learning support system that stimulates discussions using smart devices, and began using it in classes at Osaka Kyoiku University in October.
According to Osaka Kyoiku University, if you read the QR code with a smartphone owned by a student and post a comment from the displayed screen, it will be automatically displayed on the screen in the classroom.Teachers and other students can change their teaching style from passive to active by giving their opinions in response to the comments.
As a result, not only will it be possible to deepen the understanding of the lesson content through lively discussions, but it will also be possible to save the opinions sent by students in the past and utilize them in future lessons.
In the field of education, active learning, in which students actively participate in classes, is attracting attention from the perspective of human resource development.Osaka Kyoiku University has been thinking about developing human resources who can act on their own by activating the opinions of students and practicing interactive lessons that gather opinions through discussions.
The new system will be used for general lectures for the time being, but since various utilization methods such as participation in classes from remote locations can be envisioned, the range of utilization will be gradually expanded.
