Description

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online classes, lectures, and/or webinars have become a "new normal" work style. Since April 2021, the Kyushu University Institute for Asian and Oceanian Studies (Q-AOS) has been implementing free online seminar series called the Brown Bag Seminar (BBS) every Wednesday lunch time. As of August 2022, the 60th BBS has accumulated data for 60 speakers, 7,168 pre-registrations, 4,837 participants, and 1,933 BBS questionnaire survey respondents. The purpose of this research is to organize, integrate, and analyze these data for investigating the factors associated with participation behavior of those who pre-registered for BBS. We found factors associated with BBS participation behavior are (1) higher pre-registration rates from Japan compared with those from oversea, (2) higher preregistration rates from domestic companies, governments, and local governments compared to those from Kyushu University, and (3) presenter’s job position. Based on these findings, recommendations for future BBS may include (1) targeting pre-registrants from oversea Kyushu University alumni networks, (2) improving publicity to domestic universities which may be interested in SDGs, and Asia and Oceanian studies, (3) disseminating more information on BBS’s unique services including English-Japanese simultaneous translation and English-Japanese translated hand-outs available. BBS participant’s satisfaction rate is high at 98%, but we should continue to improve BBS operations based on this scientific data evidence and the needs of the targeted audiences.
