The Purpose of Symposium III

Abstract

  Today, online classes have spread to Japanese universities because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The title of symposium III is “Possibilities for Higher Education in COVID-19: Subjects, Methods and Contents.” The purpose of this JACUE-supported three-year study is to improve the quality of online higher education in Japan. This study consists of two research projects that focus on two issues in parallel: student learning support and learning outcome assessment. The former project is “Building a Model for Learning Environment Design in the Age of the New Normal” and the latter is “Assessment of Learning Outcomes in Online Higher Education.”
