Study of next-generation information media learning environments
Research is being conducted on next-generation university education information systems and the educational materials to be used with them, in order to contribute to future information media education systems. Furthermore, as can be seen from the arrival and rapid spread of high-performance mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets, the informational environment of users is constantly changing, and we are also actively investigating the use of these kinds of new devices.

Research on information technology and new learning theories
In addition to the traditional format of knowledge transmission through whole-class study and individual learning through independent study, attention in recent years has turned to collaborative learning, a form of learning done mainly through group activities. We are working on ways information technology can support these learning activities, in which diverse learners recognize each other as individuals and overcome differences in search of new values.
