On August 27, the Minseok College of Liberal Arts held the 2020 Creative Education Teaching Competency Reinforcement Workshop with a lecture by Professor Park Jeong-cheol, a professor at Dankook University’s School of Dentistry and the first ‘Google Innovator’ in Korea.

Reflecting the current situation in which the number of online classes is rapidly increasing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this workshop was organized with the theme of ‘How to Use Google Tools for Online Classes,’ providing practical tools and knowledge that university instructors could directly use in online classes Professor Park Jeong-cheol said of the workshop, “Since most professors throughout the world have had little experience with online classes, they have been experiencing a lot of difficulties.”

To help workshop attendees overcome these, he shared a number of successful examples of online lectures, saying, “If we bring together all of our knowhow of offline classes online, and further develop and build upon it by bringing the advantages of online classes offline, a better overall educational experience for all can be achieved.”

In total, 43 professors and faculty members of DSU attended the workshop, which aimed to enhance the competencies of teachers in charge of liberal arts education for the enrichment and development of innovative future class models.
