In 2021, the policy is to conduct classes while balancing "education based on the assumption that the response to new coronavirus infection will continue for the time being" and "new education that takes advantage of the effectiveness of online education regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic"; therefore, classes must be conducted in a variety of formats, including face-to-face classes and online classes (synchronous delivery classes, blended classes, etc. "Hyflex class," which allows students to choose between "synchronous delivery," "face-to-face," and "on-demand" classes, is attracting attention for its flexibility. In this seminar, we introduced an overview of the Hyflex class, necessary equipment, delivery and recording devices, key points to improve the quality of lecture delivery, attendance management, and group work methods.

The Institute for the Advancement of Higher Education's Open Education Center (OEC) will periodically hold study sessions related to online education. This study session featured Mr. Tomohiro Nagashima (Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction, Carnegie Mellon University), who has experience working at the Open Education Center and continues researching online education and open educational material development. Dr. Nagashima talked about education in the U.S. after the corona disaster, COVID-19, and open education, his research, and the effective use of OER. In addition, he mentioned "Open customization" as a direction for the future development of OER in the context of the situation in which the utilization of existing OER has not progressed well in online education, which has spread in the wake of the corona disaster, and this seemed to give the Center a hint for future development.

While peer assessment is expected to encourage students to learn from each other and motivate them to learn by becoming each other's evaluators, there is the problem of differences in the characteristics of students as evaluators. This is considered an issue when introducing peer assessment for complex performance tasks.
On the one hand, if it were easier to understand the characteristics of students in terms of how they evaluate others, it might be possible to make appropriate interventions to achieve the goals of individual students. On the other hand, it became clear that careful lesson planning, including data formatting and setting up evaluators and evaluations, is necessary to understand the characteristics properly. On the other hand, it was also beneficial to clarify the need for careful lesson planning, such as formatting data and setting evaluators and evaluations to understand the characteristics properly.

This seminar was held to introduce the design method and practical examples of blended classes that combine different class formats, such as on-demand and synchronous delivery, which are conducted while balancing "education based on the assumption that the response to new coronavirus infection will continue for the time being" and "new education that takes advantage of the effectiveness of online education regardless of COVID-19".

This workshop invited participants from inside and outside the university to contribute to improving online teaching. It was also held online to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The workshop aimed to reassemble one face-to-face class and devise a blended class using the "Class Design Sheet" developed by OEC.

The workshop introduced and explained the concept of designing blended classes as an effective way to implement online classes, the status of online classes in liberal arts education at TUAT in 2020 and the first semester of 2013, and the free responses to the student/faculty survey. The lecture also introduced and explained the challenges of online classes.
The OE Center also intends to help teachers and students recognize the advantages and disadvantages of online classes, and rather than revert to previous teaching methods, and the OE Center will support the implementation of "blended" classes that integrate face-to-face and online education, taking advantage of the advantages of online classes that were seen in COVID-19. Therefore, we are working to support the implementation of "blended" classes that combine face-to-face and online education. To this end, we have developed a "Rebuild Method" and a "Class Design Toolkit" to support the design of "blended" classes. In the second half of the seminar, we provided an overview of the Lesson Design Toolkit and explained how to design classes using the toolkit, using actual classes as examples.
