Topic outline

  • Participation in the Hokkaido University Online Teaching Resources System (LASBOS)

    Hokkaido University has started an initiative to accumulate online educational materials for university education and make them available to the public.  The first step is to expand the scope of the project from the field of marine science to include all peripheral fields.  Although it is open to the public, the primary target audience is the students of Hokkaido University.  Our goal is to nurture top scientists who have the ability to think logically, think abundantly, think globally, and master their work (research skills).  We believe that people who can master their work will be sought after in corporate activities domestically and internationally. We would like to actively incorporate the needs of society into the university's human resource development by making the most of the online features of LASBOS.  (The online system called LASBOS (Learning and Study by Balance de Ocean System) is implemented by the Balanced Ocean Pro ject of Hokkaido University.)

    • The next generation grows up, following and leaning the linkage of the university's online materials to the company's activities
