  • Promotion of University-Wide E-Learning Through Course Guidance Vods - a Case Study at Nihon Fukushi University
    Promotion of University-Wide e-learning through Course Guidance VODs - A Case study at Nihon Fukushi University - Masaki NAKAMICHI *1,2, Ryuichi MATSUBA *2, Yoshihiro EKAWA *2, Fujio OHMORI *2, Katsuaki SUZUKI *2 ＊1 Nihon Fukushi University, Japan ＊2 Kumamoto University, Japan Email: [email protected] Abstract: At Nihon Fukushi University (NFU), on demand course guidance videos have been developed and delivered to offer information about courses such as syllabus and learning goals before class registration for recent two years.. Development of the VODs gives many positive effects for both students and teachers. For the students, such advantages decrease the amount of classes dropped students because students can obtain appropriate information and images about their entering class preliminarily. Meanwhile for the teachers, their images about development of e-learning materials like anxiety and heavy responsibility are decreased because all of the faculty members need to be involved to make the contents. The development, in addition, provides educational improvements such as more reviewing of syllabi, enlivening of faculty development activities and an increase of blended instruction courses applying Information and Communications Technologies. We report the systematic approach for educational improvements with development and delivery of the VODs and many educational benefits obtained by the implementation in NFU. It is also shown that our approach has more advantages than that in other Japanese universities. Keywords： higher education, e-learning, FD, learning contents, consciousness reform INTRODUCTION Nihon Fukushi University (referred to below as NFU) has six undergraduate schools, one correspondence school, four graduate schools, three campuses and about 13,000 students (including correspondent, commuting and graduate students).
