Abstract

<p>In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey of university students regarding their classes in the fall semester of the 2020 academic year and ascertained the course formats and the tendencies that the students found to be “beneficial.” Course formats were classified into eight types: face-to-face, real-time, on-demand, a combination of these, and none of the above. The results revealed the following points. First, the most beneficial courses included face-to-face and real-time synchronous classes. Notably, students were more active in synchronous classes in terms of commenting and engaging in cooperative activities. Moreover, it was suggested that face-to-face classes may facilitate cooperative activities outside of class. Furthermore, differences were observed in the tendencies of beneficial course formats depending on the course category, class size, and students’ grade.</p>
