est explanations at "Cafe_AVOS" after schoo

This is the first time I have heard of "Cafe_AVOS. What is Mr. Amano doing by combining the words "cafe" and "AVOS"?

I found a list of virtual classrooms at Wakasa Medical Health & Welfare School. You see "cafeteria" in this list. Click here.

You're in a virtual space cafeteria! So "Cafe_AVOS" is a virtual space cafeteria created on the AVOS virtual online school. I see. But what is Mr. Amano doing in this café space?

What a surprise! For example, on days when there is a test in class, he asks students to come to Cafe_AVOS at 8:00 p.m. if they can make it, and he gives them a make-up class after school.

In the remedial class, after grading the day's quiz in class, the instructor explains the themes that the students "don't seem to understand. Strike while the iron is hot! the class is designed to deepen the students' learning while they still have a sense that "this part of the test I took today was difficult.

Incidentally, participation in these supplementary classes is not mandatory, as some students said, "It is good if it is free participation because it is less intimidating. Students who are unable to participate due to part-time jobs or other reasons are said to study by watching recorded videos at a later date.

Cafe_AVOS" opens at 8:30 p.m. every night, just like a virtual faculty room.

Furthermore, we have decided to open the café every day, not only on days when there are tests, but also "to help students establish a good study habit! said Mr. Amano. He has created an environment where students can go to the café and find a teacher when they have questions during their studies.

Every day, "Cafe_AVOS" opens at 8:30 p.m. when students are eager to study. Students enter "Cafe_AVOS" only when they have a question and call Mr. Amano by voice or chat. There is a teacher available to ask questions anytime while studying at home. It is like a virtual staff room after school.

Classes at "Cafe_AVOS" begin with a first check of the students' audio status. The teacher asks, "Can you hear me? the students respond with "Yes! and the students respond with a "Yes!

Even when students are in the living room with their families or in an environment where it is difficult for them to speak up, they turn on the chat and use it so that they can communicate with their teachers without worrying about their surroundings. It seems that students are also actively commenting.

Students can also make good use of "Cafe_AVOS"!

One day, to Mr. Amano's surprise! One day, something happened that surprised even Mr. Amano!

When Mr. Amano was taking questions from students, a student asked, "Please tell me this part!" Mr. Amano never taught the method of screen sharing, and the students discovered it on their own.

I never thought students would use it this way. Digital native students are amazing! The teacher could not hide his surprise.

Another day. A teacher was explaining a question from a student while sharing the screen. The sight of the student (avatar) staring intently at the material and listening intently was so impressive that he couldn't help but take a screenshot.

Mr. Amano says that one of the advantages of the virtual classroom is that students can get a bird's eye view of what the teacher is explaining. I wish they would listen this attentively in real classes," he said. No, no, no, we have to set up classes that make them want to listen (laughs). Mr. Amano gave his closing remarks.

Endless ways to use "Cafe_AVOS

Cafe_AVOS" started as Mr. Amano's idea. Mr. Amano's initiative is to create an environment where students can ask questions to their teachers even after they go home, thereby establishing a study habit. He says that it is a lower psychological hurdle for students to talk to their teachers in the virtual space than on the phone, which the other party is forced to take.

The teacher himself says that although his avatar is logged into the virtual space, it does not interfere with his life in his real room where he cooks, eats, and relaxes. It is a win-win approach for both teachers and students.

Now, if we had a virtual space café open 24 hours a day like this, it would be possible for students to gather together to teach each other or study by themselves. It seems that we can create various virtual spaces for different purposes in the future, such as student-only lounges and self-study rooms.
