Iwate University has been operating a portfolio system termed “In Folio” since 2016, which has been serving as the driving force behind the institution's internal quality assurance system of education. It is designed to collect various types of information needed for internal quality assurance, accumulate records pertaining to student learning, and present the status of achievement to students. While establishing this system, discussions were held at the educational program level, including clarifying the relationship between the degree awarding policy and each of the subjects that make up the curriculum. However, discussions regarding improvement are ongoing based on the data. Based on this Iwate University initiative and previous studies, this paper proposes two points of view on building an internal quality assurance system for education: the first is to treat the system as a series of activities for improving university education, including, for example, FD, while the other is to collect and share data as much as possible. We suggest that this will advance discussions on substantive educational improvement strategies.
