Two presentations will be given by our university librarians at the Japan Society for Educational Technology (JSET) research meeting on March 1st.

E6) A Pilot Workshop for Training Librarians to Support Active Learning
Takeshi Hyodo (Kyushu University), Eriko Amano (Kyushu University Library), Reina Mori (The University of Tokyo), Masanori Yamada (Kyushu University)

E7) Development of Course Syllabi and Pilot Implementation of Instructional Support Using a Pathfinder Creation Tool
Yukari Nohara, Yuriko Ikawa (Kyushu University Library), Masanori Yamada (Kyushu University)

These activities are part of a project to improve the quality of education at our university. I hope to develop these into full-scale research. For the first presentation, we conducted a workshop for our university librarians with the cooperation of Dr. Reina Mori from The University of Tokyo. We will report on the preliminary results of this workshop. The second presentation will report on a pilot implementation of instructional support in collaboration with the library, utilizing a pathfinder authoring tool as a course syllabus. I hope to make this a successful practice that contributes to the development of our core education through effective faculty-staff collaboration. Furthermore, I would like to advance this as research to ensure its sustainability.

If you are attending the research meeting on March 1st and are interested in libraries and learning support, we would greatly appreciate your feedback. We are still in the exploratory stage of how to proceed with this as research. However, the volunteer staff at our university library are truly working hard.

Thank you for your support.
