Given the challenging time for study mobility, IIGE has responded rapidly by scaling up online-based international education. The Kansai University Engaged/Exchange Online Learning "KU-EOL" Program was first offered in the Fall 2020 semester as an innovative IaH (Internationalization at Home) solution during the midst of the global coronavirus pandemic. In the interim of waiting to host incoming international students on exchange bases on campus, IIGE provided these prospective students with virtual classroom opportunities, establishing a multilateral exchange learning program together with our valued overseas partner universities. While not necessarily a reflection of the future of higher education, the current state of hybrid virtual education should serve to inform the development of a more blended and flexible curriculum for 21st-century international education.

モビリティーを伴う国際教育の危機的状況にあって、IIGEはオンラインベースの国際教育を拡大することで素早い対応を行ってきました。関西大学のKU-EOL(Kansai University Engaged/Exchange Online Learning)プログラムは、世界的なコロナウィルス大流行の真っ只中にあった2020年度秋学期、IaH(Internationalization at Home)の革新的な解決策として始まりました。キャンパスで留学生を受け入れられるようになる日を待つ間、IIGEは本校への留学を希望する学生ににバーチャル授業の機会を提供し、海外の貴重なパートナー大学との多国間交流を可能とする学習プログラムを確立しました。ハイブリッド型授業が行われている現状は、必ずしも高等教育の未来を反映しているわけではありませんが、21世紀の国際教育のために、より調和され柔軟となったカリキュラムの開発を促進するものであると考えています。

*KU-EOL is NOT an “exchange study abroad” program.
The “exchange” element of this program refers to student-to-student discussion and interaction which takes place in the online classroom setting.

​※KU-EOLプログラムは、交換留学としてカウントいたしません。

本プログラムの「exchange」とは、オンライン空間で行われる学生対学生のディスカッションや交流のことを意味します。KU-EOLプログラムを修了した学生には、添付の参加証明書が発行されますが、その他の成績証明書(公式・非公式)、フォーマルレター、参加したことを証明する書類は発行できません。

Students who successfully complete their course of study through the KU-EOL program will be eligible for a CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION ONLY (details linked below).

About Kansai University

Kansai University is at the forefront of COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) initiatives in Japan since 2014, enabling students to interact ‘virtually’ with their international peers, and promoting exchange between students in Japan and U.S. to strengthen relations between the two countries. 

COIL is an innovative pedagogy involving collaborative teaching and learning facilitated by online communication via ICT (such as Zoom, Padlet, Flipgrid, Google Classrooms, Microsoft TEAMS, etc.) that allows students to work together to complete assignments that meet shared learning objectives through student-centered Problem Based Learning (PBL) in addition to improving their cross-cultural understanding and intercultural communication skills.
