This event was organized to strengthen instructors' teaching capabilities, and covered: an overview of general guidelines for operating courses with the Hi-Flex innovative teaching method; design and assessment methods for AI-integrated classes based on LMS LTI; explanations of the features of each class type; and a Q&A session. In particular, the event focused on sharing class management cases and know-how among instructors, as well as establishing common standards to enhance practical application in the field.

She emphasized, "We will continue to actively support the discovery and dissemination of innovative teaching methods that align with the AI era, in order to establish an optimized educational environment for university classes."
