Relationship between Humans and Technology through the Experience of Distance Learning at Universities

Information Management and Telweork

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the disruptions associated with distance education from the perspective of faculty telework, and discusses the relationship between telework and information management in the field of university education. First, I confirm the social background used for the recent introduction of telework. Next, we describe the situation in the field of universities, where telework has been relatively widespread, not in terms of institutions but in terms of operations, and how COVID-19 has triggered the shift to telework in educational operations. Finally, as a person in the organization, I will discuss the knowledge fed back from the efforts in the field, as well as the part that the perspective of “office automation,” which is the name of the predecessor of this society, has in common with the introduction of telework in modern companies.
