Division

We facilitate efficient coordination and collaboration among the various departments of Kyushu University to ensure the smooth rollout of digital transformation (DX) initiatives.

Collaborating with the organizations related to digital society research and practice inside and outside the university, we will explore the ideal future for digital transformation (DX) in societies. This division aims to contribute to DX research and development by providing and updating a roadmap of DX strategies to solve social issues. Research units will be set up depending on social situation.

Based on the analysis of learners’ educational activity logs, we will conduct research on extracting and visualizing information that aids in understanding students’ comprehension levels and improving teaching methods. This research will contribute to further enhancing the educational standards at our university.

We are committed to harnessing state-of-the-art ICT—particularly in areas like virtual reality, human-computer interaction, and 5G communications—to create field-specific, immersive digital educational content. Our development will also extend to appropriate teaching methodologies, encompassing online and distance learning, to facilitate active learning among students. Furthermore, by sharing and publishing these exceptional educational materials and teaching methods, we aim to contribute to the broader advancement of knowledge within society.

We develop the necessary infrastructure for preserving, sharing, and publishing research data. Additionally, we will train personnel to provide services for research data management, including support for making data management plan, publishing data and organizing research data, and research data management literacy education for students in addition to other services. We also research and develop methods for research data management and support appropriate for the situation in Japan.

We are committed to furthering digital transformation in healthcare by setting up and leveraging a data-driven infrastructure for clinical research and by conducting research on compliance in the management of next-generation healthcare data.

Our initiatives include promoting data analysis support and assisting in the use of software relevant to data analysis, thereby accelerating the implementation of data-driven approaches in education, research, and medicine.

Following a comprehensive review of the administrative workflows across the entire university, we have launched the “Administrative DX Promotion Project.” The goal of this project is to streamline and standardize our administrative processes, ensuring optimal usage of data and alignment with cloud-based systems.
