At an online symposium titled "Considerations of Post-Corona Study Abroad (Inbound/Outbound)" held by The Japan Association of Private Universities and Colleges on October 27th, Kansai University President Hiroshi Maeda spoke on the inaguration and operations of the JPN-COIL Association, as well as the university's efforts using COIL as a countermeasure to the unique challenges posed by the novel coronavirus pandemic.

In his presentation, President Maeda explained that the introduction of COIL courses and COIL-type education has proven effective not only for students, but for faculty members and the university as a whole as well. Equally important to these efforts, he emphasized the importance of the JPN-COIL Association, of which Kansai University is acting as the representative secretary, noting that the Association will continue to cooperate with each other and with higher education institutions in Japan to improve educational technology and quality.
