Customer Requests
In June 2014, we received an inquiry through the Human Science website contact form regarding the creation of e-learning materials for "Sexual Harassment Prevention Training." Introduction Materials for Harassment e-Learning Training
Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (hereinafter referred to as OIST) was established in 2011 and is a graduate university located in Onna Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture, offering a five-year integrated doctoral program.
It conducts interdisciplinary research and education in five major fields: Neuroscience, Mathematics and Computational Science, Chemistry and Molecular Science, Environmental and Ecological Sciences, and Physical Sciences.
We were conducting group training on "Sexual Harassment Prevention" in a classroom setting for faculty and staff, but due to the increase in staff, we decided to implement e-learning for efficiency and were looking for a teaching material creation company.
More than half of the faculty and staff at OIST are foreign nationals.
It was necessary to ensure that the regulations regarding "sexual harassment" were well communicated on campus, as well as to help them understand the legal definitions and other related matters pertaining to being part of a Japanese organization.
As requirements for the creation of the teaching materials, we received the following items and proposed the structure and design of the e-learning materials.
【Requirements】
・Create content based on the draft provided by OIST. However, since the draft is a Word document, planning and creation suitable for e-learning content are necessary.
・Fully understand the content of the draft and propose specific presentation methods (design, layout, behavior, etc.) to OIST.
・Since half of OIST’s executives and faculty/staff are foreigners, the content needs to be available in both Japanese and English.

Key Points of the Proposal
Point01.
Clear Development
The e-learning table of contents is structured in an order that follows the flow of participants' understanding: "general → detailed" and "easy → difficult."
Furthermore, to support learning, we incorporated three effective lesson structure categories: [Introduction], [Development], and [Summary]. By making these three stages the basic structure of each section, the design allows for smooth progression of learning.
Point02.
Engaging and Well-Paced Content
We propose an "Awareness Check" page that encourages participants' "awareness" about sexual harassment, rather than just "viewing the materials."

Customer Feedback from Clients
This time, we evaluated and selected from five companies, and ultimately, we decided to place the order with Human Science.
・Features that allow referencing PDFs from within the content, showcasing creativity as educational materials
・The approach was not one-way as educational material, but interactive usage was proposed throughout.
・The structure and roles of the persons in charge were clearly indicated, creating a sense of trust.
・The cost was within the expected range, and the delivery date met the requirements of the specifications.
During the actual production process, there were changes from the initial plan, such as an increase in narration, but you handled everything smoothly until the end.
We are grateful to have had the opportunity to work together this time.
From Human Science representatives
Since the proposal was made after receiving detailed materials, we specifically devised and communicated the content, participants, and usage image. Introduction Materials for Harassment e-Learning Training
As this involved transitioning from in-person training to e-learning, we aimed to propose a plan that would maximize the educational effectiveness of e-learning. Additionally, considering the assumption that many participants are foreigners, we placed emphasis on visuals in the design.
Since the production began, the feedback from the OIST representatives and other students who have taken e-learning courses has been reflected, and detailed improvements have been made to the specifications.
Since this is education on the sensitive topic of sexual harassment, the production was carried out with careful checks to avoid any misunderstandings.
During the case study photo shoot, we incorporated local characteristics, such as having the participants wear kariyushi attire based on the ideas of the person in charge, which we believe resulted in a unique teaching material for OIST.
We hope this material will be of assistance in the staff training at OIST.
