The lesson consists of 10 minutes. Expanding learning possibilities

　managara is positioned in the correspondence course of the Department of Economics and Business Administration, Faculty of Economics, Niigata Sangyo University, and has two courses, "Economics Field" and "Business Administration Field".If you earn 4 credits, just like a four-year university that goes to school, you can get a bachelor of business administration at the time of graduation.As basic educational subjects, "learning ability training", "thinking ability training", "expressive ability training", "human power / social power training", "human understanding", "social understanding", and "international understanding" are established, and various economies are established on top of that. Learn specialized subjects in academics and business.In addition to regular courses, optional courses for acquiring qualifications and skills are also available. It is said that it plans to increase the lineup from time to time with five types of lineups, such as "Digital Design Basic Course" and "IT Passport Course".

　The major difference from the conventional correspondence course is that there is no need for schooling on campus.As a result, the hurdles for taking courses while working or taking courses abroad have been lowered.Furthermore, since the lecture is completed in 10 minutes, you can listen to it using the gap time such as moving.Normally, a 90-minute class is one frame in 1 minutes, but in managara, the basic composition of one frame is "10-minute video lecture x 6 and quizzes (comprehension check), report creation, etc."The tuition fee is 1 yen, the tuition fee is 5 yen, 30 yen in the first year, and 35 million yen in four years, which is less than half that of national universities.The door is likely to open to students who have to give up college for financial reasons.

　Classes are based on video lectures, with additional tasks such as quizzes and reports.In addition, we plan to incorporate presentations and group learning using tools such as slack and zoom.Questions to teachers and staff will be answered within 24 hours in principle, except Saturdays and Sundays.Events, club activities, and career support will also be done on slack and zoom.

　What kind of learner's needs can be met? On the managara homepage, we will introduce five specific episodes such as "Backpacking overseas", "Job hunting in rural areas", "Athletes doing overseas expeditions", "Toward the realization of entrepreneurial dreams", and "I'm worried about my mind and body". ing.
