-Participate with ease through our JVTA Online platform!
JVTA began to implement remote learning in our classrooms in 2015, and has converted to completely remote learning in all of our courses since 2020. In October 2020, we introduced our very own learning management system JVTA Online which has been very successful in assuring students are able to participate in class, receive and hand-in their assignments on time, and communicate easily with teachers and staff. With this single system, we have been able to provide a stable, comfortable, and efficient remote learning experience. By holding our lessons through video conference, students are able to study from home just as they would in the classroom, and can ask questions, discuss, and receive feedback from their teachers and fellow classmates.
You do not need to be a student of JVTA to use JVTA Online. Once you have registered, you can apply for courses and seminars once you login. There are even videos of classes you can only view on JVTA Online. Be sure to give JVTA Online a try! If you would like to learn more about JVTA Online, please click here (in Japanese only).
