  • Examining Technologies to Reduce Response Time in Hands-on Exercise Environment over Widely Distributed Computer Network Utilizing RENs

    Kurazumi Y., Uchida Y., Arima S., Kudo N., Okawa K.

    Asian Internet Engineering Conference, AINTEC 2024    36 - 45 2024.08

     View Summary

    As the number of Internet users continues to increase, there is an urgent need to train Internet engineers to support this infrastructure. Our research team is designing and managing an educational program to foster Internet engineers for undergraduate students in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. As part of the program, we are conducting on-site hands-on exercises to create a computer network with remote locations using Research and Education Networks (RENs). Since these onsite hands-on exercises will be conducted in various places in the APAC region, delays caused by physical distance are unavoidable. Therefore, our team has designed a low response time hands-on exercise environment to ensure comfortable student activities. Furthermore, to verify the effectiveness of this design, we conducted a simulation verification using a virtual environment. We confirmed that the design provides a low response time, even considering the unavoidable latency over distances in the APAC region.

  • Exploring the Significance of 360-Degree Video Technology on Fieldwork Learning in Higher Education: Students’ Perspectives

    Hundzinski L.N., Assilmia F., Okawa K., Vu L.T.C.

    International Conference on Computer Supported Education, CSEDU - Proceedings 1   526 - 533 2024

     View Summary

    This paper discusses the use of 360-degree cameras in two distinct fieldwork learning activities in higher education. This study aims to identify specific contributions of 360-degree video and its relation to the fieldwork learning process, from the perspective of students and when compared to other tools and methods for data collection. A mixed-methods approach was utilized to understand students’ learning process, obtaining data by survey, analysis of results from in-class activities, and observational analysis. In total, 83 students participated in these activities. The two activities showcase how 360-degree video can be utilized by students in relation to fieldwork activities, to collect data and to back their claims with evidence. By investigating common themes on self-reports written by the students, the unique contributions of 360-degree camera on field observation and subsequent approaches to data analysis are highlighted when compared to other tools and methods. The understanding of these unique contributions points bring us closer to identifying specific learning components for the design of educational programs that can benefit from this technology.

  • Can Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Espouse Through Social Constructivism? A Dynamically-Designed Multimedia Content Creation Programme for High School Students in Japan

    Chen D.D., Lu J., Okawa K.

    International Conference on Computer Supported Education, CSEDU - Proceedings 2   680 - 688 2024

     View Summary

    This article presents a nonformal learning programme implemented in a Japanese high school, focusing on exploring Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) topics through a multimedia content creation project. The programme employs a dynamic module design, characterized by student-centred learning, a comprehensive feedback loop, and timely adjustments to tailor to students’ learning paces. This nonformal approach allows students to experience DEI concepts closely, diverging from traditional formal education methods. Student reflections indicate increased awareness and appreciation of diversity, enhanced empathy, cross-cultural understanding, and development of critical soft skills through DEI experiences and multimedia content creation. The findings suggest that high school students can effectively grasp abstract concepts like DEI experientially. The programme’s dynamic design offers a model for creating large-scale, learner-focused curricula. Additionally, the collaboration between a graduate school and a local high school demonstrates a potential role for higher education institutions in supporting community education initiatives.

  • A Community-Based Support Scheme to Promote Learning Mobility: Practices in Higher Education in Southeast Asia and Japan

    Ikeda R., Ferriyan A., Okawa K., Thamrin A.H.

    International Conference on Computer Supported Education, CSEDU - Proceedings 1   404 - 411 2024

     View Summary

    Learning mobility enhances employability and expands career networks. Despite easy access to global knowledge and skills through online and short-term learning mobility programs, learning fragmentation and incoherence have become issues. This research proposes a new scheme called Inxignia, which aims to enable learners to achieve coherent learning continuity within or outside of School on the Internet Asia (SOI Asia), an inter-university network in Southeast Asia and Japan, and increase a sense of community. Inxignia integrates the three modes, namely (1) Engagement: Engaging with Communities of Practices within or connected to SOI Asia; (2) Imagination: reflecting on experiences and small-scale learning achievements in SOI Asia; and (3) Alignment: Coordinating with SOI Asia stakeholders to achieve the desired learning and career path. A micro-credentialing e-portfolio platform supports enhancing each mode such as a feature to support reflection and plan learning from a bird’s eye view and open badges to visualize past journeys and future potential. The implementation results indicated that Inxignia supported Imagination and Alignment modes for SOI Asia Learners and the importance of including young faculty to make the scheme autonomous and sustainable.

  • ICT-Supported Design Thinking Workshop Program: A Case Study of Encouraging Social Lean-In for High School Students in Japan

    Chen D.D., Lu J., Okawa K.

    International Conference on Computer Supported Education, CSEDU - Proceedings 2   527 - 534 2023

     View Summary

    Since 2015, an ICT-supported workshop program based on the constructionism approach has been implemented at Fujimikaoga High School for Girls (FHS) in Japan. Keio University Graduate School of Media Design students from diverse cultural backgrounds facilitates the nonformal learning experience. The program employs a design thinking process (DTP) and ICT tools to enhance active collaborative learning and intercultural interactions. Over 800 students have participated, demonstrating gains in critical thinking, investigation, feedback articulation, and iteration of their own views. This paper details the program’s concept, process, qualitative findings, key elements of success, and challenges during implementation.
