Business Overview
As an organizational initiative to help faculty members improve and improve their teaching content and methods, the University Consortium Kyoto has been promoting FD activities in the Kyoto area together with member schools since 1995, shortly after its establishment.
In 2019, we launched the “Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting” as a place for university faculty and staff to share ideas and concerns related to FD beyond the boundaries of their affiliated universities, and to exchange on various themes related to FD.
In fiscal 2020, from the viewpoint of preventing the spread of the new coronavirus infection, a total of three times will be held online.

Online classes ~Sorting out the current situation and issues~ Due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus infection, many universities have been forced to hold online classes. I think that the spring semester classes started without any experience in conducting university-wide online classes and without sufficient preparation time. In preparation for the post-corona era, the 4th session will exchange and share information on online classes held and conducted at each school among the participants, and the 5th session will take a step forward and use “flipped classrooms” as an example to think about new lesson designs using ICT. |

Implementation Report
In fiscal 2020, a total of 95 people (in total) participated in the Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting, which was held a total of three times, from the first to the third.
In addition, this year, in view of the impact of the spread of the new coronavirus infection, all sessions were held online (Zoom meetings).
The first session was titled “Online Classes ~Organizing the Current Situation and Issues~” and was presented by three universities: Bukkyo University, Kyoto Sangyo University, and Heian Jogakuin University.
In the group work held after the presentation of the topics, we conducted information based on three topics: “What can be done in online classes?”, “Support system for online classes”, and “Pros and cons of online classes”, and shared information about the contents of each group’s discussion using the online whiteboard tool “Whiteboard Fox”.
In the second session, under the theme of “Flipped Classroom for Promoting Deep Understanding ~Thinking about Classes Using ICT~”, we gave a lecture titled “Lesson Design for Implementing Flipped Classrooms: Why and What Is the Flipped Classroom For?” on how to practice flipped classrooms that promote deep understanding among students.
After that, in the individual workshop to “redesign” the “original class (the class that is currently being practiced)” into a flipped classroom, “Google Sheets” was used to conduct group work based on the individual work created by the participants, and the participants shared issues among themselves.
The third meeting was held under the theme of “Educational IR”. In addition, in order to ensure that many people could participate in the third session, we accepted applications separately for those who wanted to participate in the case report and those who wished to participate in the group work.
In the first half of the exchange meeting, Mr. Kazuhiro Fujita (Professor, Faculty of Advanced Science and Engineering, Ryukoku University) reported on Ryukoku University’s IR initiatives, information aggregation and analysis methods, etc.
In the second half, the participants were divided into two groups, one for IR staff and the other for beginners, and exchanged information.
In the question of satisfaction in the participant questionnaire, the total of “satisfied” and “somewhat satisfied” was highly evaluated at over 90% in both surveys.
Based on the opinions received from participants in the next fiscal year and beyond, we will continue to plan and consider the exchange event with the aim of making it even more fulfilling.
