Classes during this last semester at Hokkaido University have mostly been conducted online, although some were also held in person when possible.

How did students find of these teaching styles and how did instructors conduct their classes?

Students and faculty at the university responded via surveys held earlier this year, the results of which reveal the perceptions students and teachers hold towards online classes.

This seminar provides the opportunity to address what needs to be done to improve the quality of hybrid classes, which may likely become commonplace for universities in the future.

While both students and faculty identified many positive aspects related to online teaching, it also became apparent that there are many challenges.

As faculty members, we need to always consider what needs to be done to support student learning and their experiences at university.
