Outline of Final Research Achievements

In response to the sudden demand for measures against COVID-19, we created and examined a framework while implementing necessary online FD (Faculty Development) programs. Specifically, we covered various topics such as methods for conducting classes using the web conference system Zoom, implementing on-demand classes using videos and texts, and considering communication capacity based on students' internet environment.

During this process, it was difficult to aggregate opinions online. Therefore, we developed a web platform to encourage opinion aggregation and conducted its utilization and evaluation. The results of a questionnaire survey showed that the usefulness of the system and the overall workshop were highly rated. Through these efforts, we were able to present a new format for FD programs.
