Director Yukari KATO

Since its founding in April 2015, the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL) has served as a central support organization within the university, responsible for strategic educational management.

True to its name, the Center for “Innovation” goes beyond a typical teaching and learning support organization; it includes three offices dedicated to specific projects aimed at transforming university education:

1. Office for the Evaluation of Science and Engineering Education:Establishes systems to ensure the quality of education.

2. Office for the Development of Higher Education:Supports the enhancement and development of educational capabilities among faculty and staff.

3. Office for the Application of Advanced Technology:Develops the educational environment and provides academic support.

Beginning in October 2024, four full-time faculty members will join three representatives selected from each department to further this mission.

The Office for the Evaluation of Science and Engineering Education will l evaluate the university’s educational effectiveness, through consideration of the student experience from enrollment through post-graduation across the Ookayama, Suzukakedai, and Tamachi campuses. This office will also support the university’s self-assessment initiatives by planning, conducting, and providing feedback on class surveys aimed at enhancing the curriculum.

The Office for the Development of Higher Education promotes growth within the university by organizing various seminars and training programs for all personnel, from faculty and staff to teaching assistants.

The Office for the Application of Advanced Technology supports improvements to the educational environment by providing operational support for the educational system, as well as developing, distributing, and analyzing online teaching materials. Additionally, this office promotes activities related to the integration of emerging technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

At Tokyo University of Science, all CITL faculty and staff are committed to advancing educational quality and continuous improvement. We ask for the support and cooperation of all faculty and staff to help achieve these goals.

Thank you for your dedication and collaboration.
