Question 1

How long will it take to figure out how to use Class2Class?

Accepted Answer

It takes about an hour of use to get a feel for how the platform works.

Question 2

Is Class2Class only available in English?

Accepted Answer

At the moment, only the English version is available, but you can use the translation function in Google Chrome to access the Japanese version. GSC can also provide Japanese versions of PDF documents such as lesson plans.

Question 3

Is there a video call system for collaboration within Class2Class?

Accepted Answer

We currently do not have a video call system. Therefore, you will need to use an external system such as Zoom or Teams. Please consult with the classroom you are collaborating with to decide which medium to use and prepare for the meeting.

Question 4

Do students need to log in to Class2Class?

Accepted Answer

Although it is not required, when teachers conduct online exchange projects, they can invite students to join the project, allowing students to interact with each other through chat and project sharing. If students register on the platform, deeper interactions can be expected.

Question 5

How do students use Class2Class?

Accepted Answer

For safety reasons, students are only allowed to interact with those designated by their teachers in online exchange projects. Students create a profile on the platform, write a self-introduction, and then use Class2Class by chatting with other students on the project, sharing project deliverables, and commenting on each other's work. Online meetings are held using separate online meeting platforms such as Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet.

Question 6

Can it be used at a time that suits the students' level of proficiency and the progress of the class?

Accepted Answer

Parts 1 to 3 of each level can be completed offline, allowing you to progress at your own pace. Only the final part will be held online, so you will need to coordinate progress with the collaborating classroom.
