Learning of Tomorrow [Announcement] “Education at Minerva University and Examples of Its Application in Japan” At the online symposium on Wednesday, September 29, Mr. Hideki Yamamoto, former head of Minerva University’s Japan Liaison Office, will give a talk titled “Minerva University’s Educational Approach and Examples of Its Application in Japan.”
Seven years have passed since Minerva University opened its doors, and as the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the integration of information technology into existing educational institutions, renewed attention is being paid to the university’s founding principles and its approach to school administration, which makes full use of information technology.
At this symposium, our speakers will explain how Minerva University utilizes information technology in both education and administration, and will also discuss case studies and practical tips for incorporating the key elements of this approach into Japanese higher and secondary education.
We hope you'll join us.
