Why don't you see my DJ life??

The education system in Japanese university has big problem nowadays. In fact, there is a mismatch between faculty expectations and students’ needs. Many of students may hope that this problem will be solved.

I found that incorporating the idea of sharing services into online syllabus going to be a key to solve the mismatch. According to professor Takashi Kawanabe at Ritsumeikan University, including comments and evaluations like shopping in Amazon onto online syllabus would make education meaningful or both of students and teachers. Besides, this function would change the ‘Rakutan’ culture in Japanese university students. (‘Rakutan’ means a class which is easy to earn the credit.) However, we may have to deal with some disadvantages like aggressive comments or slanders so that this innovation would work. More researching will be needed.

Ritsumeikan University announced one reform of online syllabus, they will integrate current manaba+R and online syllabus for developing better course taking. This reform has a potential to change current education system in Japan. Sharing something will make something alive.
