The University Consortium Kyoto will hold an IR Forum in collaboration with Liacec Co., Ltd.

With the number of 18-year-olds declining and the severe environment known as the “2018 Problem,” management reform is an urgent issue for universities, and many universities are implementing a wide variety of management strategies. Similarly, in education and classes, which are the cornerstone of university management, many universities are conducting research and trial and error on how to visualize learning outcomes and how to link the data obtained from these results to class improvement.

Therefore, in this forum, Mr. Kobayashi, the editor-in-chief of “College Management” in his keynote speech and the director of the Recruit Research Institute for Academic Advancement, who is well versed in university management reform and educational reform, will talk about how to proceed with management reform through IR in the future and how important educational reform is in this context. We will introduce practical examples of management reform based on the PDCA cycle based on management data, as well as specific efforts to improve education in response to issues that have emerged from the visualization of learning outcomes. In the second half of the panel discussion, we will delve into more specific content.
