“Innovation driven” is the proper term for promoting regional sustainable development under the general goal of national high-quality development. University–industry collaboration (UIC) has become an important innovation resource for regional sustainable development. The study aims to analyze the influencing factors and mediating mechanisms of university–industry collaboration scientific and technological (S&T) and business activities oriented for regional sustainable development in 30 provinces in China (excluding Tibet). Specifically, we used the partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling method to test the effects of innovation climate and resource endowments on regional sustainable development through two mode pathways of university–industry collaboration activities. The results show that the innovation climate and resource endowments significantly affect UIC in scientific and technological innovation activities, and then affect the regional economic development and human capital. UIC S&T innovation activities play positive mediating roles in promoting regional sustainable development. In addition, the innovation climate does not significantly impact the business activities of UIC. Therefore, region can get a greater sustainable development through UIC S&T innovation activities than business activities. Much more UIC S&T activities can improve the economic development, human capital, and environmental conditions in the region.

The article aims to explore which types of proximity approach can foster university–industry (U-I) collaborations for innovation and discuss the role of different dimension regional absorptive capacity in cooperation to promote inter-regional partnerships from “unbalance” to “coordination”. Therefore, we intercept 484 pairs of cooperative entities and analyze proximity effects and heterogeneity cross-regional U-I collaborations by hierarchical regression. The results show: (1) In non-local contexts, geographic distance is not a hamper for improving innovation performance. The economic development level has no significantly different effects on such a role. (2) Technological proximity plays a negative role in increasing innovative performance, and the eastern region has the most noticeable results. (3) The closer in social distance can get more innovation performance in eastern and western, but the central area negatively affects. (4) The U-I collaborations for innovation performance-enhancing advantages are not equal for all regions but are moderating by specific regional absorptive capacity dimensions. The areas with a higher level of internal human capital can get more catch-up effects. The lagging regions should increase talents to promote cross-regional cooperation for catching up. In contrast, the prosperous areas should take advantage of the talent-gathering effects to promote knowledge spillover.

This paper aims to identify the changes in student behaviors that resulted from the switch from face-to-face (F2F) learning to computer-supported cooperative learning (CSCL) due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We constructed a triple-dimensional index with “thinking ability improvement”, “horizontal knowledge construction”, and “vertical social relationship evolution” to make comparisons. According to majors, we selected 23 students who registered for entrepreneurship courses from March to June 2019 in F2F and 23 students from March to June 2020 in CSCL formats. We utilized mixed methods, including experimental, content-based, and social network methods, to conduct evaluations. The results show the following: (1) Cooperative learning is beneficial in cultivating creative thinking for both F2F and CSCL groups. (2) The level of knowledge construction was slightly higher in F2F than that in CSCL in general. The effect of F2F learning in the early stage of the course was better, and in the later stage of the class CSCL attained a higher value. (3) For social abilities, the interactions in CSCL were closer than those in the F2F group. F2F cooperative learning was more prone to “fake cooperation” and free-riding behavior, whereas CSCL led to “pan-cooperation” and lacked the in-depth exploration of knowledge. Therefore, this pandemic provides opportunities for cooperative learning with in-depth exploration. CSCL offers sustainable and more hybrid learning activities that allow for the combination of online and offline learning to be experienced according to course contents.

As a reading comprehension strategy, mind mapping has a positive influence on the development of students’ reading ability. However, how mind mapping affects reading ability has not been well documented. In this study, we used eye tracking sensors to explore mind mapping’s effects on reading ability. The participants were foreign language learning university students in Dalian city, China. One group received foreign language reading teaching integrated with mind mapping training (experimental group), and the other group received regular foreign language reading teaching (control group). We analyzed eye movement indicators, including fixation-related indicators (number of fixations, fixation frequency, and mean fixation duration), regression count, saccade amplitude, and pupil diameter. In addition, the analysis of heat maps and fixation trajectory maps, which are specific tool for visualization of eye movement data and intuitive analysis of reading process, were explained. The results show that the number of fixations, fixation frequency, mean fixation duration, and regression count in the experimental group were all lower than in the control group, and the pupil diameter was larger than in the control group. The heat map and fixation trajectory map show convergence, mostly focusing on the position of keywords and key sentences, with relatively large saccade amplitude and more information obtained by one gaze. Moreover, they had a higher skipping reading rate, which enhanced reading speed to obtain information accurately and quickly. These empirical results indicate that mind mapping training was an effective method for improving students’ reading ability.

This paper investigated foreign language learning efficiency in four different illumination environments (in different illuminance and color temperatures), focusing on the influence of the illumination environment on foreign language learners’ sentimental status, by means of foreign language skills testing in mind-map, objective evaluation of physiological reaction, and subjective evaluation of psychological reaction. It was shown that in different illumination environments, the language skills of foreign language learners were different, and their psychological and physiological reactions varied, which influenced the efficiency of foreign language learning. The results indicated that the ideal learning space was in high illuminance and low color temperature, which increased the stimulation in foreign language learners; promoted the formation of optimistic sentiment; and enhanced their interest in, and the quality and efficiency of, foreign language learning.

In recent years, presentation with computer is important as a social skill to transfer knowledge and information, but presentation practice is depending on the know-how, such as instructor's experiences or textbooks. We have developed a presentation practice support system, named PRESENCE, to improve beginners' demonstration of presentation. The PRESENCE has the real-time voice feedback function to recover undesirable states. As the basic skills of presentation to support beginners, the voice feedback function has been implemented to check body expression such as “the vertical direction of face”, “the horizontal direction of body” and voice expression as “the voice volume”. The effects of PRESENCE to beginners' presentation were investigated by comparing those without the feedback function. The results showed that PRESENCE significantly improved the voice expression, and significantly changed the movement of the body expression.

Idea-Marathon System (IMS) is a creativity training process, based on the use of notebooks, in which we make a daily habit of writing our ideas immediately by managing to create any new idea regardless of any thinking area. This paper presents an experimental analysis conducted at Ohtsuki City College (OCC) to quantitatively measure creativity effect on college students before and after a 3-month IMS training. TTCT (Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking) Figural Pre- and Posttests were used to confirm the creativity effects on students quantitatively. The group with 3 months of IMS training showed significant increases in “Total Score,” “Fluency,” “Originality,” and “Resistance to Premature Closure (RPC)” while students in the control group showed a significant increase in “RPC” only. Support system of IMS “e-Training System (ETS)” was found moderately correlated with “Fluency.” Top, Middle, and Low analyses showed improvement in Middle and Low through 3-month IMS.

A newly developed chat system that uses the sense of touch via pressure sensors to communicate a user's feelings is proposed. According to the strength of a user's grasp on a mouse, face marks are entered into a chat window. This system was applied in an electronic conferencing system called a remote seminar support system. Our experiments showed that users found the system to be more interesting than a traditional chat system.

In the age of globalization, a second language can play an important role in collaboration between different countries. Text-based communication is slower than verbal communication, although its speed allows sufficient time to think which leads to an increased collaboration. Some effects of a second language using a groupware on the distributed and cooperative KJ method (the DC-KJ method) were investigated. The DC-KJ method is an arranged creative task referring to the KJ method developed by Jiro Kawakita well known in Japan. Post-it notes are used for writing and sharing ideas in the KJ method. The DC-KJ method consists of three steps: generating ideas by brainstorming, grouping ideas by concept formation, and framing a concluding statement from the previous steps. Thirty Chinese students took part in the experiments to investigate the effects. A group of three students carried out the collaboration task twice; one case used the Japanese language as a second language and the other case used the Chinese language as a native language. Those results were compared in terms of quantity and quality by means of a log data analysis, a questionnaire survey, and a writing satisfaction valuation as the final result. The results showed that (1) Chinese people using the Japanese language produced similar Chinese language usage result quantities and quality and (2) the ability to think 84 percent of opinions in the Japanese language were utilized to obtain those results. These results show a potential of text-shared collaboration with the groupware by using a second language.

Cultural learning is increasingly necessary for intercultural communication in this time of advancing globalization. Cultural knowledge of a partner country is required for positive intercultural collaboration. In this study, we consider a learning method using text chat conversations between Japanese and Chinese participants. Our experiments revealed the following results: (1) Much content about deep culture was discussed in the experiment using cultural knowledge, and the effect of cultural knowledge was expected to promote intercultural learning; (2) the effect on the culturally advanced learner (Chinese participants) in the fourth stage of Damen’s learning path [1] indicates that offering cultural knowledge can be useful for advanced cultural learning.

We have proposed structuring invention knowledge to effectively solve a technological problem. Our structuring method comprises steps for determining indispensable constituent elements of an apparatus to form an essential construction thereof, for a plurality of times, from a current apparatus up to the first model thereof respectively. The invention knowledge structure will form a cylindrical invention space for making an invention. Experiment results have revealed that structuring invention knowledge is thought to be possible for patent workers. When an invention space was formed by a series of essential constructions thereof, the participants produced technological ideas of higher values in terms of five evaluation items such as practicality and feasibility. Further, when a series of essential constructions were completely conducted in the invention space, there were produced ideas of higher evaluation values in terms of practicality and productivity.

The effects of three kinds of individual differences (a difference in the knowledge domain, a difference in the Big Five personality, and a difference in nationality) on a knowledge collaboration of the distributed and cooperative KJ method were examined with a groupware in an anonymous environment. The collaboration method has three steps: brainstorming, grouping, and writing. Twelve individuals participated in the experiment, eight of whom were Japanese and the other four were Chinese. The experimental results revealed the following: (1) Brainstorming by a pair in the interdisciplinary knowledge domain (humanities and sciences) led to the generation of more ideas than by a pair in the homo knowledge domain. (2) Persons possessing a factor called agreeableness in the Big Five factors of personality kept working until the final step.

Middleware named GLIA has been developed to realize wide collaborative space with combining many desktop computers and shared work over all desktop space with a networked mouse. The middleware has been implemented with Java/Swing API and a networked mouse has been realized with mobile objects both to require no server and to guarantee scalability. The GLIA was applied to experiments to evaluate the networked mouse performance by the task that a user clicks at a target image, which was randomly appeared on the wide workspace. The results showed as follows; the mouse performance of GLIA was not inferior to an usual single mouse and supported collaboration environment of three persons with wide screens. The performance of UDP/IP implementation using GLIA was superior to both TCP/IP and Bluetooth implementation. GLIA seems to be effective for the space of idea generation method which need wide space of screen.

GUNGEN-DXII, a new version of the GUNGEN groupware, allows the users to process hundreds of qualitative data segments (phrases and sentences) and compose a coherent piece of text containing a number of emergent ideas. The idea generation process is guided by the KJ method, a leading idea generation technique in Japan. This paper describes functions of GUNGEN supporting three major sub-activities of idea generation, namely, brainstorming, idea clustering, and text composition, and also summarizes the results obtained from a few hundred trial sessions with the old and new GUNGEN systems in terms of some qualitative and quantitative measures. The results show that the sessions with GUNGEN yield intermediate and final products at least as good as those from the original paper-and-pencil KJ method sessions, in addition to the advantages of the online system, such as distance collaboration and digital storage of the products. Moreover, results from the new GUNGEN-DXII raises hope for enabling the users to handle an extremely large number of qualitative data segments in the near future
