Distance Education

Distance Education Through Interactive Two-Way Videoconferencing

The core Japanese language courses (Japanese 110, 111, 210, 211, 310, 311) offered on the UW Oshkosh campus are also sent to UW Stevens Point through interactive two-way videoconferencing (ITV).

Instructional Model

Japanese is taught in a traditional classroom setting that has been modified for ITV. Through the use of this technology, the instructors work closely with their students both on UW Oshkosh campus and with those students receiving Japanese at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point.

A native-speaking facilitator is in the distance education room during class on the receiving campus to help students. The use of facilitators helps ensure the success of the program on the receiving campus.

Technologies

UWSP_micThere are a variety of ITV technologies available, which vary greatly in quality, reliability and cost. For our courses, Internet Protocol (IP) video is used in a classroom setting. Our hybrid (blended) learning environment incorporates a variety of other Internet-based technologies as well. We use a web-based course management system to provide structure and a variety of instructional technologies for further developing students' language proficiency.
