A shift from e-learning to e-teaching

KOICHI Nakajima & Masumi Hori Tezukayama University

Defining e teaching

• Is for teacher s to teach effectively
• eTeaching should motivate and direct teachers to teach willingly

TIES supports system

• Runs 24 hours
• Ran by 4 full time students
• Teacher relationship/ and culture has a big impact on the learning. TIES has a support role in this area
• Technology support 24 X 7 results
• Supplement class room with outside experts (this could be industry experts)
• This supports e-learning for students
• TIES works across many Japanese Universities
• TIES hosts 10382 content items
• Some material is made available to public users
• TIES is free but is written in Japanese however, the presenters are inviting partners to further enhance its capability
• Seeking translation to English which would be useful.

My comments; it probably suits Japanese culture may not suit our culture but the underpinning support is what is critical to e-learning/teaching regardless.
