As the globalization of higher education accelerates, such as the enhancement of support for international students and the promotion of collaborative projects with overseas universities, the English proficiency of university faculty and staff has become indispensable as a basic ability.
In addition, international students from many countries and regions have their own cultural backgrounds, and in order to communicate smoothly, it is essential to understand customs, social norms, religions, etc. beyond language.

Notebook PC (PC) Taker Training Course – Remote PC Taker Using captiOnline Call for Participants

 

In recent years, there has been a demand for “information security” in lectures as many students with hearing impairments are studying at universities, and as one of the ways to guarantee information in writing, there are “note-taking” and “computer (PC) taking” that convey lecture information to deaf students. During this period, the training of student note-takers and PC takers has become popular at each university, but the degree of progress in teaching methods and know-how construction varies from university to university, and some universities are said to have not made sufficient efforts. In addition, there are many universities that have various problems such as lack of experience for takers and securing human resources.
In light of the current situation where many universities are required to respond with online lectures due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, this course aims to learn how to guarantee character information (basic operation method) using two methods: lectures held on Zoom and captiOnline (remote character information security system) as one of the remote text information guarantees. At the same time, we aim to build a community related to note-taking and PC taking, and to hold courses where you can learn about support and issues at small and medium-sized universities.

The “Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” is a place where people who transcend the boundaries of schools and their founders can share their ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management, class improvement, etc., and interact with each other to solve problems.

The 6th meeting will be held as follows.

In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, some schools have started online classes, but few schools are offering interactive remote classes. Active Learning (hereinafter referred to as “AL”), which is recommended to be introduced in the new Course of Study. It is difficult to achieve this in online classes, and the development of such a method is desired.
Therefore, in a limited ICT environment, we will share how to realize AL instead of just one-sidedly transferring knowledge by using online.
In addition, we will use this as an opportunity to sort out the differences between the academic skills that can only be acquired through online AL and those that can only be acquired through face-to-face AL, and to explore hints on how to use online classes and face-to-face classes according to their goals.
