What are 100 OJCs?

It is the primary initiative of a three-year R&D project involving the use of online journal club events to train research reading capabilities in the education domain. The project's Principan Investigator (PI) is Dr.Jingjing Lin, an assistant professor at Toyohashi University of Technology (Japan). 100 OJCs intend to invite and collaborate with educational researchers from around the world, to co-create and deliver online journal clubs. These OJCs are primarily designed for postgraduate research students. The purpose is to investigate whether using OJCs could improve educational research reading capabilities of higher degree research students.
