Due to the impact of COVID-19, many universities are continuing to offer online classes this year. In addition, universities that offer face-to-face classes may be in a situation where they do not know when they will switch to online classes. According to the results of a survey of faculty members conducted by Hokkaido University and surveys conducted by other universities, there are a significant number of people who say that online classes will continue in the future and that they want them to be continued.

If this is the case, then we should not view online classes as a temporary measure, but rather seek ways to implement classes in more effective ways. Although university faculty members are considering student learning and are working on their online classes, we are sure that there are facing many challenges.

As such, we would like to hold a consultation to exchange information about online classroom practices, share concerns, and discuss solutions to problems. Knowing the efforts of various participants from different fields and institutions may help you improve your own classes. The lecturer will also provide feedback.
