About a month and a half has passed since each university started online classes.Showa Women's University conducted a questionnaire survey on online lessons for 1 faculty members three weeks after the start of online lessons on April 2020, 24.As a result, the transition from the assignment submission type, which initially occupied a quarter, to the real-time interactive type has progressed, and about 3% of the classes are in real-time bilateral type three weeks after the start. I understood.

 At Showa Women's University, there are three types: "interactive type" where online lessons are conducted in real time using Zoom, "recording distribution type", and "assignment submission type" where the content and assignments of the lessons are posted and questions and submissions are fed back. Teachers select from one type and implement it.
By holding multiple Zoom seminars in advance, the two-way type accounted for the majority at 54% from the beginning, but the assignment submission type was also selected at 26%.However, in the third week, the assignment submission type decreased to 3%, and the interactive type increased to 10%.It was also found that both hybrid types increased from 59% to 8%, shifting to real-time lessons.

 As a result of the transition to real-time lessons in this way, 9% answered that they "think that lessons with content suitable for online lessons have been created."Regarding the learning effect, it was found that 58% think that "there is no difference from the face-to-face lesson or the learning effect is higher".Some say that the effect is lower than face-to-face lessons (19%) and not clear (23%), but the high rate of student submissions is the one that feels the effect uniformly. The ratio of "submitting" is 85%.

 The merits of online lessons that teachers think are "less late, high attendance rate", "high concentration without private language", "not sleeping", "quick response", and "submissions are submitted on time rather than face-to-face". "I am enthusiastically participating in discussions at breakout sessions" and "I am improving my PC skills."

 On the other hand, about half of the teachers answered that the online lessons have increased the time for preparation by more than 8 hours a week compared to face-to-face lessons.Regarding the ratio of online lessons and face-to-face lessons in the future, hybrid type with assignment submission type such as online 4% (31%) and online 6% (26%) was supported.

 In response to this result, Mariko Bando, the president and president, said, "In the case of a university, unlike high school, the courses taken by students are different, so even if it is a hybrid, students will go to campus, which is annoying. I would like to consider how to utilize the goodness of the lessons. "
