The Tokyo University of Science, located in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, is one of Japan’s leading science and technology universities. The Department of Management of Technology (MOT) is the graduate-focused program within the Graduate School of Management. Working closely with students, MOT fosters the next generation of advanced professionals to integrate science, technology, and management principles in response to the rapid changes in society and business today.
In response to pandemic restrictions on teaching in person, Professor Hideki Wakabayashi, director of MOT and his team explored ways of connecting students and instructors virtually and quickly made classes available using Zoom, ushering in MOT’s hybrid classroom approach. In this flexible learning environment, both in-person and online classes were held at the same time.
