The English-language workshop series “UTokyo FD Open: 2025-2026” was held from October 9, 2025 to February 17, 2026.

Of the nine sessions in total, the first five (October 9, October 23, November 4, November 18, and December 2) were conducted online, while the remaining four (February 12, 13, 16, and 17) were held in person.

A total of 124 participants from 25 countries attended across the nine sessions (including repeat participants), representing a wide range of regions and institutions.

The average participation rate for the workshops was 67.2% for the online sessions and 91.6% for the in-person sessions, respectively.

After each workshop, a questionnaire was distributed to participants, who were asked to provide feedback using a 10-point scale (1 = lowest, 10 = highest) as well as through open-ended comments.

Overall, the workshops received very high evaluations, with an average satisfaction rating of 8.3 and an average overall rating of 8.4.

In the open-ended section, we received comments as follows (*Please note that we partly extracted the feedback to anonymize the respondents):

■Participants’ Feedback

“The teacher’s instruction was clear and easy-to-understand, and he worked to create a welcoming atmosphere.”

“The workshop offered clear, practical guidance on how to design effective rubrics, linking theoretical foundations with hands-on examples. The balance between lecture and group discussion was good (…), helping participants share diverse perspectives.”

“Participants brought practical questions, current issues on the table and the teacher helped us to share experiences and opinions along with advice.”

“(The strengths of the workshop were) The mode of delivery, more importantly audience participation. The workshop is highly learner centered.”

“The workshop is highly organized, ranging from discussion, delivery methodology, and inclusion. The workshop is exceptional and professional.”

“Having group discussion centered around in-class experiences is good, especially to learn from different disciplines.”

“The mix of participants at different stages in their career was a great experience.”

“Strengths were that we had to deliver a class, and it was great to see the presentations of others (learned a lot from them not just in terms of learning design but the content itself!!) and it was a great opportunity to test out something myself.”

“Open, interactive environment definitely a strong plus!”

We are very pleased that many respondents provided highly positive evaluations on various aspects of the workshops. We also received numerous comments regarding areas for improvement and topics participants would like to see addressed in the future. Based on this feedback, we will continue to further develop and improve our future events. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who shared their comments and feedback.

■Future Plans
This workshop series was originally held in FY2023 and subsequently paused, and has now been relaunched as “UTokyo FD Open: 2025–2026.” While we revised several aspects such as the format and completion requirements from the previous edition, the series once again received very positive feedback from a large number of participants.

Building on the insights gained from this edition and the valuable feedback we received, we will continue striving to further enhance the design and delivery of future events. Details of the next edition will be announced once it is finalized. We sincerely look forward to your participation.
