"Introduction of case studies of distance learning in the spring semester" packed with the ingenuity of each teacher

　In the case study of distance learning in the spring semester, the unique efforts of the two faculty members were announced.First, Associate Professor Gonagaji, Faculty of Policy Informatics, "Online Flipped Classroom Attempt-as an example of on-demand / real-time combination ".Then, Toshihiro Nakamura, a full-time lecturer at the Faculty of Service Creation, explained the implementation format, ingenuity during the lecture, and discoveries centered on project subjects and group work, which are essential for student communication. Lecture ".Let me introduce some of them.

(1) Associate Professor Gonaga, Faculty of Policy Informatics "Trial of online flipped classroom-as an example of on-demand / real-time combination"

　The first point that Associate Professor Gon focused on when planning online lessons was the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning.Disadvantages that are important for extracting items related to education and making students aware of them as "university students" but difficult to realize on demand ((XNUMX) weak awareness of class participation, (XNUMX) maintaining motivation during class participation ) Is a real-time method, and merit elements (② attendance at your own timing, ③ repeated viewing, ④ customization according to individual understanding) are decided to be supported by an on-demand method.As a result, the "flipped classroom format that combines on-demand and real-time" was completed.

　The next important thing is to design the lecture according to the learning content and goals.In skill-related subjects where the scope of study and achievement level are easy to see, in order to focus on out-of-class learning and assignments, each student's customization elements such as repetitive learning and repetitive viewing of unknown parts are thickened, while deep reading is the center of achievement. For non-skilled subjects that are difficult to see, it seems that the lesson-completed design was designed to deepen thinking by communicating with students as much as possible during class.

　Both subjects use audio, documents, and board writing, and the method of submitting assignments using Microsoft Forms is the same, but the specific lesson structure is significantly different because the goals are different.For example, in the skill-based "administrative practical application", the online time during class is about 3 minutes, and the out-of-class study including audition of audio materials and reaction paper (hereinafter referred to as RP) production are 60 to 120 minutes per week. , Online lessons are about 180 minutes for non-skilled "symbols and society".Most students also listen to audio materials in class.

　In addition, in "Symbols and Society", we have introduced a method of sharing and explaining anonymous answers on Microsoft Forms without waiting for everyone to submit when explaining the task. There were many opinions that "I couldn't answer in time, but I understood by seeing the answers of other people", and it can be said that indirect communication between students was born and understanding deepened.In addition, since individual answers are fed back to the whole, it seems that it was effective in improving the awareness and motivation of participating in the class.

Regarding the results of this semester, the "text-based communication effect" such as the activation of questions and answers through chat and RP, and the careful explanation of the lesson policy and how to proceed at the first time encouraged the motivation to participate. , Associate Professor Gon who mentioned "feedback effect on issues" in "symbols and society".In the fall semester, he said that he would like to start uploading lesson materials as soon as possible, which is relatively easy to start, due to problems with the learning environment and requests and assignments for repeated auditions.

(2) Faculty of Service Creation Toshihiro Nakamura Full-time Lecturer "I tried it, online lecture"

　Nakamura's full-time lecturer's class was mainly conducted by the D method (real-time delivery).
For project-related subjects, students usually make presentations with the moderator and the faculty members give advice, so students also select online-related tools themselves.Zoom paid plan where everyone can see the face of everyone in class, Microsoft Teams for group work, Google Drive for schedule management and material sharing, LINE for information sharing outside class, holding various online events and planning online seminars Was actively performed.

　In "Development of Pepper's online lessons with Softbank, Japan Sportsmanship Association, Chiba Jets" and "Development of goods and events with Samantha Vega, Chiba Jets", "Meeting coordination with companies was very efficient." Introducing the unique advantages of online found in the corporate collaboration project.Similarly, inviting guest speakers in the course seems to have the potential for the future, such as being able to shorten the restraint time and regardless of the location of the guest.

For group work of large-group lectures, we will introduce how to create a meeting room for the first time using the Microsoft Teams channel and assign a room number and leader to the list for each lecture.


In addition to the questionnaire, he told the students, "I have never experienced it myself, so let's make a good lesson together." The lesson is advanced with the idea of ​​co-creating the service.In addition, while it is suggested that online lessons with "all special seats" are suitable for large lectures, we also anticipate the possibility of communication problems and create paper materials to a level that can correspond to the A method every time. Ingenuity is also added.In the end, satisfaction with group work increased by about 10%.

Finally, regarding future activities, "I want to think about how to deal with unknown situations with students and increase what I can do. Especially, communication between students is an important factor, so I would like to focus on communication design regardless of whether it is on or off. ".

From distance learning to overcome predicament to opportunities to open up new possibilities for education

　Distance learning started as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus.Even now, after about three months, many educators are still looking for lesson planning and system design. In the IT industry, there is a method of disclosing the technology and promoting improvement in the entire industry, but this attempt by Chiba University of Commerce reminds us of that method.If such activities become widespread, the creation of a better distance learning system may accelerate again.
