사이버대학교의 글로벌온라인학점교류에 관한 실천사례연구

Abstract

This study investigates the actual situation and the needs and preferences of Japanese learners and the learning effects in addition to online lectures through the case of online grades exchange with Cyber University in Japan for the first time. The facts and directions of how Japanese majors perceive online non-face-to-face grades exchange through interviews are as follows. Grades exchange students consider the heterogeneity and homogeneity of the LMS functions of their overseas counterparts, the improvement of language skills and the compact class function (subtitles, skip function, etc.) of the other ICT technology as an advantage. Regarding online grades exchange, priority was given to cross-cultural communication and realistic effect similar to face-to-face classes, and flexibility of elective courses. Additionally, the preference and satisfaction for online grades exchange were high, and learners highly evaluated it in terms of academic interest, concentration, and learning effect. Even online, grades exchange with immediate interaction is beneficial for inducing interest and maintaining concentration, and they felt that it was effective for learning. However, although there were positive responses to quizzes that can be taken several times at Cyber University in Japan, the lack of understanding of terminology and second language, and differences in test methods were cited as obstacles, that is, disadvantages. In addition, the facts that Cyber U niversity’s facial recognition system was not perfect and that there was no SMS notification were an inconvenient aspect compared to Korea. Therefore, it is necessary to actively review the introduction of online grades exchange with various conveniences depending on the level, and exchanges between overseas universities in the form of optimally mixed online and offline pros and cons must be planned and designed.
