Practice of Intellectual Property Education through Content Creation Project at a Junior College of Arts and Culture

Abstract

This paper presents the outcomes and significance of educational programs in which students take the lead in creating anime educational materials and music videos (MVs) related to intellectual property. Intellectual property is generally considered a difficult field to understand, but when students, rather than experts, create content from the audience’s perspective, they can produce more accessible and understandable materials. Throughout the production process, they were required to organize their knowledge and consider how to communicate their ideas effectively, which contributed to improving their logical thinking skills and practical abilities. Furthermore, experiencing the joy of creation fosters a sustained interest in learning, while the social implementation of their work enables students to gain a sense of achievement. Based on practical examples, this paper suggests that student-driven content creation can be an effective approach to intellectual property education.
