"Utilization of ICT in sick education"

At the 16th seminar, Ms. Junko Shinohara, Medical Coordinator of Kyoto Municipal Toyo Comprehensive Support School, gave a presentation on "Utilization of ICT in Education for the Sick" -Results and challenges of remote education for hospitalized high school students using the central function of the School for the Disabled- I will introduce you with the theme of.Mr. Hiroyasu Ishihara, the principal of the school, will give a greeting at the beginning.

A high school student who was suddenly hospitalized.Anxiety about treatment.Anxiety and anguish that are separated from high school life.
However, by linking medical care and education, it is possible to continue learning, which leads to encouragement for treatment.

Toyo Comprehensive Support School utilizes its function as a center for comprehensive support for the weak, and supports high schools with simultaneous bidirectional delivery classes that lead to promotion and credit recognition for high school students who are hospitalized for a long time, while remote education is being institutionalized. I have been working on the form.The key to collaboration between medical care and education is the presence of a “medical-educational collaboration coordinator.” Remote education, which utilizes ICT, has secondarily nurtured the gratitude of hospitalized students and the compassion of classmates.

Simultaneous bi-directional delivery classes require "easy-to-see video", "easy-to-hear audio" and "stable wireless environment".In the application example of the avatar robot, it was possible to deliver the classroom to feel familiar even in the hospital room.However, it is difficult and an ongoing task to maintain such an environment all the time.We would like to introduce our efforts and challenges so far.
