The second VIE session was attended by students primarily from the School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy, who are enrolled in the “Introduction to Data Science” course at Kasumi Campus. Utilizing Zoom translation and the HiGPT educational support system to their full potential, students with strong language skills communicated directly in oral discussions, while those with less confidence used HiGPT for communication. This approach enabled more in-depth discussions compared to previous sessions.
