Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study proposes an organizational assessment method of university educational activities. We aggregated the necessary data from the university educational activity databases based upon the Yamaguchi University self-assessment and evaluation system. Furthermore, we developed and improved tools to visualize the results and proposed a visualization system that uses text mining technology for university educational activity documents. By applying our unique viewpoint to case-study analysis, we were able to extract the characteristics of university educational activities. The results demonstrate a new organizational assessment method for universities.
