Note-taker training course / PC (PC) taker training course

Business summary

 Since 2004, the University Consortium Kyoto has held a note-taker training course for students and faculty members who are trying to take up note-taking activities for the first time in collaboration with the Kyoto City Welfare Volunteer Center. In fiscal 2016, following the notebook taker training course, we also held a personal computer (PC) taker training course.
 In recent years, as many students with hearing impairments are studying at universities, there is a demand for “information security” in lectures. Typical ways to respond to this are “note taking” and “PC taking,” which convey lecture information to hearing-impaired students.
 Although the training of note-takers and PC-takers has become popular in each university, there are not a few universities that have insufficient teaching methods and accumulation of know-how. In addition, many universities have various problems such as lack of experience of takers and securing human resources.
This course trains as many takers as possible and builds a community related to note-taking and PC-taking through the experiences of takers (supporters) and their users, lectures on the basic understanding of note-taking and PC-taking, and practice
