To research how information and technology are used in administrative systems, she recently visited the Department of Japanese Education at Konkuk University (KU). Ms. Mitsubori started working at Nihon University in 2003 and previously held different positions in its library and accounting department. Since the end of 2014, she has been involved in providing research support and her application to study Korean universities’ administrative systems was selected for overseas training by her employer. In July, Ms. Mitsubori arrived in Korea and has been surveying the history and effects of administrative systems that utilize the internet at Silla University and Kyunghee University in addition to KU. According to Ms. Mitsubori, most Japanese universities are not as interested in IT solutions or smartphone apps as their Korean counterparts due to the internet being less developed and the lack of smartphone usage. During her research in Korea, she was particularly amazed at how smartphone applications were used not only as ID cards, but also to register for classes and to reserve a space at the library. Ms. Mitsubori emphasized that improving administrative systems was critical to reducing labor costs and increasing student satisfaction, which in turn would improve the reputation of universities. She hopes that her experience in Korea would allow Nihon University to recognize the importance of developing its IT system. * This is a translated and edited version of a Yonhap News article published on September 29, 2015.
