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.
The 2021 Kyoto FD Exchange Meeting will be held a total of three times under the unified theme of “How to Teach for Post-Corona”.

| How to Teach for Post-Corona ~The 1st “Hybrid Class (?)” ~ | |

Even in the post-corona era, it is expected that classes using online tools will continue to be required. Why don’t you work with faculty and staff from other universities to think beyond the boundaries of the university and think about “how to teach for the post-corona era”? |

Implementation Report
In fiscal 2021, a total of 3 Kyoto FD Exchange Meetings were held online (Zoom meetings), with a total of 62 people (in total) from all over Japan participating.
The first session was based on the theme of “Hybrid Classes (?)” and was an opportunity to think about the combination of face-to-face and online classes in anticipation of the coronavirus pandemic and post-corona.
After an explanation of the purpose of the seminar by Mr. Shinji Matsumoto (Professor, Faculty of Letters, Bukkyo University) and a report on the online classes currently being held at Bukkyo University, case studies were presented by three universities (Mr. Susumu Nakata (Ritsumeikan University), Mr. Shinobu Kobayashi (Kyoto Notre Dame Women’s University), and Mr. Takero Nishino (Kyoto Tachibana University)).
After the case reports, the participants were divided into groups to share information and exchange opinions on how to implement hybrid classes, advantages and disadvantages, future issues, and student voices, which will be required in the post-corona era.
The second session was based on the theme of “Fieldwork in the Future,” and was an opportunity to think about changes in classes and future plans based on the premise of fieldwork, which was immediately affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
Ms. Yui Ohara (Lecturer, Faculty of Sociology, Otani University) gave an explanation of the purpose of the seminar and gave a case study report on the fieldwork classes currently being conducted at Otani University in collaboration with the local community, followed by a case study report on fieldwork at Ritsumeikan University’s Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies.
After the case reports, the participants were divided into groups to share information and exchange opinions across universities about the difficulties and challenges of fieldwork conducted during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the efforts to be devised.
The third session was held under the theme of “Copyrights in Online Classes” and was coordinated by Mr. Atsushi Mori (Professor, Faculty of Foreign Studies, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies).
Due to the Corona disaster, the implementation of online classes has spread, and many faculty and staff are wondering what kind of appropriate copyright handling is in the use of copyrighted materials such as teaching materials. We have set up a forum to exchange opinions on the appropriate use of copyrighted works in educational institutions.
The participants asked various specific questions about copyright that came up in the group work, and Mr. Kakimoto responded to them.
In the participant questionnaire, the average level of satisfaction was over 95%, indicating that there was a high level of interest in the purpose and theme of this project.
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.
