Business Overview
Since 2004, the University Consortium Kyoto has been offering a note-taking training course for beginners for students, faculty and staff who are trying to engage in note-taking activities for the first time, sponsored by the Kyoto City Welfare Volunteer Center. In addition, since fiscal 2016, we have been conducting a personal computer (PC) taker training course following the note-taker training course.
In recent years, many students with hearing impairments have been studying at universities, and there is a need for “information security” in lectures. Typical methods of dealing with this are “note-taking” and “PC taking” to convey lecture information to students with hearing impairments.
The training of note-takers and PC-takers has become widespread at various universities, but there are not a few universities that have insufficient teaching methods and accumulation of know-how. In addition, there are many universities that have various problems such as lack of experience for takers and securing human resources.
This course aims to train as many takers as possible and build a community related to note-taking and PC taking through lectures and practices on the experiences of takers (supporters) and their users, as well as lectures and practices on the basic understanding of note-taking and PC takes.

2. Contents and Schedule
In recent years, as many hearing-impaired students have been studying at universities, there has been a demand for “information security” in lectures, and as one of the ways to guarantee information in writing, there are “note-taking” and “computer (PC) taking” that convey lecture information to hearing-impaired students.
In the meantime, the training of student note-takers and PC takers has become popular at each university, but the degree of progress in teaching methods and know-how construction varies from university to university, and some universities are said to have not made sufficient efforts. In addition, there are many universities that have various problems such as lack of experience of takers and securing human resources.
Under these circumstances, the revised Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities will come into effect in April 2024, and reasonable accommodations will become mandatory at each university.
Due to the recent evolution of ICT, various voice recognition software has been developed in addition to remote PC take, and this course aims to provide an opportunity to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of these software and how to operate it, and to learn about the ways and issues of support at small and medium-sized universities.
