ICT Support

A “Outline of Course Registration Procedures” video for OYR students was uploaded to the New Student Orientation website, recorded in English using text-to-speech and video capture software. As this video can be used each year, it has helped to reduce the administrative burden.

In order to be able to use class time for discussion, difficult parts of the assigned reading for this course were recorded for students to watch before class. This proved to be useful for students who were not native speakers of English (the language of the lectures) because they could rewind and listen to sections as many times as they needed, and they could follow the text in the video, which helped their reading comprehension.

Students in an Asian Studies class at one of ICU’s overseas partner universities, Kenyon College, shared videos of their PechaKucha presentations. Then ICU students recorded videos of their own presentations on various Japanese themes and shared them with Kenyon College. Students from both universities shared their feedback with each other.

Mock lessons were recorded on an iPad for “Teaching Methods in English”, a course on English language education in junior and senior high schools. Feedback to students was provided via Google Drive.
