Abstract

Despite a growing trend to incorporate e-learning into higher education in Japan, a challenge facing the promotion of elearning is the transience of such programs, which rapidly stall. We developed a new support system that includes an Instructional Design Office for faculty who require support in utilizing e-learning. The support system aims to accommodate diverse learning activities and all types of classes. We investigated our e-learning promotional measures over a 3-year period from 2013 to 2015, and made immediate improvements to increase the reach of e-learning. Achievements include an increase in the number of learning management system courses from 410 to 1004 and an increase in the number of teachers who applied to offer e-learning courses from 123 to 408. A questionnaire survey asking for feedback on the promotional measures demonstrated the validity of the measures and the suitability of the support system.
