Implementing a Mobile App for University Classes

Join the roundtable about how an institution in southwestern Japan conceptualized, developed, and implemented a mobile application for the university teachers and students. Topics will include needs analysis, planning, funding, choosing developers, and rolling out the app on a schedule. The presenters will provide a live, interactive demonstration of the completed application. The roundtable will encourage participants to consider implementing a mobile application at their own institutions and offer guidance with regard to the process.

Reflections on Developing an On-Demand Curriculum

Participants will join a roundtable exploring how teachers at a university in Japan transformed their in-person English communication courses into on-demand lessons. Topics include the techniques used to create content, how the techniques evolved over time, how the content was distributed to students, and how communication was encouraged in an on-demand environment. Participants will be encouraged to consider how the techniques and content created for the course could be integrated with future in-person classes.
