日本私立大学連盟 遠隔授業での取得単位数 制限緩和を要望

Japan Private University Federation Request to Relax Restrictions on the Number of Credits Earned in Distance Learning

In response to the request, Minister Hagita responded, “This year, we are urgently easing the upper limit on the number of credits, but it is important to guarantee the quality of learning, so I would like to consider it after checking the university's efforts”.

In response to the new coronavirus infectious disease, online classes using the web have begun in earnest this spring at each university. Aiji Tanaka, President of Waseda University, said, “We have been conducting advanced flipping lessons online in the US and Europe for about seven years at our university experimentally”. The president of Hosei University, Yuko Tanaka, explains, “We are studying how to mitigate little by little”.

The school building area per student, which is the standard for establishing a university, will no longer fit. President Tohoku University, Hideo Ohno also recognizes that, “now teachers and students are focusing on mastering new tools, but in the future it will be a mix of virtual and real”. From the perspective different from the past, the new Corona may unexpectedly become a factor to promote university reform. Online lessons show the superiority and inferiority of teaching ability of university teachers.

Large-scale public online lectures and courses at correspondence colleges such as the open university are not enough. On the contrary, I heard in the past coverage that unique and attractive classes were sold by the university and became popular even when MOOC was released. My lesson was run by a university consortium, and at first I was simply surprised that “graduate students in Hokkaido and Kyushu are studying at the same time”.

Then, in the group lesson in Tokyo, I put a lot of effort into the practice instruction that emphasized dialogue in order to close the online gap. On the other hand, this spring's first experience is online interviews and interviews. Tohoku University, for example, announced at an online press conference about 400 million yen in student support for the new Corona. Traditionally, it has been important for teachers and reporters to share knowledge and information.
