I recommend it for online classes! An e-learning system that is easy to set up, even for first-time users

Hello, my name is Kuroda from the Quality Control Department. Do you know all the types of content you can create with our e-learning system? LearningBOX has contents, functions, and learning environment that even beginners can easily start online classes. In this article, we would like to tell you about "how to choose learningBOX content," a topic we have received many inquiries about recently. It is not easy to get used to writing, but I will do my best, and I hope you will enjoy this article as well. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. types of learningBOX materials 2. how to choose learning materials 3. examples of use 4. summary Types of learning materials available on learningBOX There are currently a total of 15 types of functions available for our e-learning system! However, the abundance of learning materials is one of the strengths of learningBOX and the secret of its popularity! By utilizing these 15 types of materials, we are able to support all kinds of companies, schools, and cram schools, such as "online learning, newcomers, in-house training, and remote training"! How to Select Learning Materials With such a large number of learning materials, it is hard to think of learning materials from scratch. Is it possible to create the teaching materials you have imagined? Many people wonder how to combine the contents they have created. For those customers, we would like to briefly introduce the contents function of learningBOX. If you are not sure how to create teaching materials, please take a look at these contents. Quiz / Test The quiz function allows you to create and grade paper-based exam questions on the web, such as school tests, mock tests, and quizzes. The quiz function allows you to create questions in more than 12 different formats, including multiple choice, multiple choice, essay, and fill-in-the-blanks. The quiz function allows you to create questions in two modes: master mode, which is suitable for preparation and review, and normal mode, which is suitable for exam questions. We highly recommend this quiz function if you want to encourage learners to consolidate their understanding and memory. There is also a setting that does not tell (hide) the results to the learner. ➡Here is how to use the test mode setting function. Memorization card I am sure that many of our customers have seen or used memorization cards at least once in their lives. I also often used them to prepare for exams during my high school years and up until I was working. These memorization cards are the same as actual word cards, and you cannot look back at them randomly. But instead, you can visualize what percentage you have memorized by checking the "☑ memorized" box. Why not use it as an aid for studying for a test or for content you want learners to remember for sure? Unlike conventional memorization cards, these memorization cards can be prepped and reviewed as many times as you want with just one smartphone. Video/YouTube Video Besides uploading videos created by customers, learningBOX also makes it easy to set up YouTube videos. Simply copy the embed code and paste it into place. By using videos and YouTube videos as teaching aids, "you can keep track of who watched it, when, and how much on your results screen." The advantage of videos is that they can be watched over and over again, making them very useful for university lectures, experiments, and other content that cannot be memorized in a single session. *Please be careful to use the copyright of the videos. WEB page This function allows you to easily create an explanatory page. You can also add pages, so you can use it like a textbook. Not only simple text like a notepad, but also font size and text color can be changed. Worm-eaten notebook MUSHIBUKI Notebook allows you to easily create memorization questions in the form of sentences. It is used to memorize words that often appear on exams by hiding the words you want to remember with a marker. I also have fond memories of memorizing world history textbooks in high school by drawing green markers and covering them with red sheets. As with the memorization cards, the key point here is that you can visualize what percentage you have memorized as the number of hidden parts increases. Please use it for memorization materials before exams, etc. Questionnaire Collect multiple responses to a question. The administrator can download a CSV of the total responses from the question-specific tab of the Results Management screen. ➡Here is how to use the survey Reports Both text entry and file submission are supported, and administrators can grade the reports with comments. Learners can easily check the grading details on the score details screen or from the "Submitted Reports List" in the side menu. ➡Here is how to use the report function PDF file PDF files can be viewed and distributed to learners. Printing prohibition and download prohibition can be set. ➡Here is how to use PDF materials Attachment Used when you want to give data or files to users. You can use the data by itself or compress multiple data into a zip file for attachment teaching materials. Using this function, you can have learners download a variety of files as educational materials. SCORM teaching materials You can upload your own content or materials that have been used on other companies' LMSs. Two of our engineers have created SCORM materials in the past and introduced them to you. Click here to read the article about SCORM teaching materials. How to create and add SCORM materials using TensorFlow.js How to rewrite your own programs into SCORM materials and use them in learningBOX Typing materials This is a material for typing practice. You can set the font size, time limit, passing score, order of questions, and grading level, and wrong letters are displayed in bold red letters on the score details screen. iSpring Teaching Materials iSpring is available as an add-on to PowerPoint. iSpring allows you to shoot lecture videos based on PowerPoint materials you already have on hand for teaching purposes. This authoring tool is recommended for those who are considering in-house production of video presentations. iframe teaching materials If you specify "embed tags" to be used in HTML notation, you can register them as educational materials. If the embedded content is a quiz from our QuizGenerator, the score is not saved, but the history of the opened material can be checked on the grade management screen. In addition to our quizzes, you can also embed word cards and Google Maps. Certificates From stylish to cute designs, we can create certificates that give learners a special feeling. You can set the issue date and expiration date, and print, save as a PDF, or save as an image. The Certificate List screen allows you to easily check the certificates you have already earned. Here are some examples of use The teaching material I came up with this time is a vocabulary book to memorize prefectural capitals using memorization cards! The letters are centered and larger, and ruby settings have been added. Even adults can learn enough. Using Mnemonic Cards as a Self-Study Auxiliary Tool Combine the contents and use it as a course study. Use the quiz function to test the content learned on the memorization cards and distribute certificates after passing the test! Watch the video to see the series of steps. ▼If you have difficulty seeing the video, please view it in full screen. Conclusion In this article, we introduced how to select learningBOX content, a topic we have received many inquiries about recently. Appropriate selection of learning materials will help you learn more effectively. For more detailed information on how to use learningBOX, please refer to the LearningBOX Content Management page. If we come up with more good ideas, or if you have any examples of our customers' use of learningBOX, we would like to share them with you as soon as possible!

Bringing the learningBOX to the world! Introducing AWS Global Accelerator

Hello! I'm Motoki, the marketing manager🍠. It's about to get a little hot and humid here in Japan. This time, I would like to introduce a new release of learningBOX version 2.11, which we have not been able to introduce yet. Click here to see the table of contents. 1. learningBOX is now faster! 2. How much faster is it really? 3. Summary learningBOX is faster Starting with learningBOX version 2.11, we have improved the performance of the system and made it faster. (In short, the site is now faster.) Starting with this version, we have introduced the "AWS Global Accelerator". This "AWS Global Accelerator" is one of the AWS services that improves application availability and performance. Have you ever experienced slow response times when browsing the Internet or using services without thinking about it? I too feel better when using or browsing the Internet on a site with a fast response time than on a site with a slow response time. In addition, English support for learningBOX has been released from this Ver. 2.11, and we expect to have more opportunities for overseas customers to use the site in the future. As a system that can respond well to access from overseas, we have used the "AWS Global Accelerator" to make the site more comfortable for everyone around the world. As the operator of learningBOX, a Learning Management System (LMS), we also believe that it is very important for us to improve the performance of the system so that customers around the world can use the system more comfortably as we expand our services. Therefore, we introduced AWS Global Accelerator, a network service that improves availability and performance by deploying it in front of ALB, NLB, EC2, and other components that provide applications. How much faster will it actually be? So, how much faster will AWS Global Accelerator actually be? Let's check with the "AWS Global Accelerator Speed Comparison (speed comparison tool)" available on the AWS website. Source: AWS Global Accelerator Speed Comparison On this page, select the file size and click the "Start" button, and the results will be displayed for each region in turn. The data compares the time required to download a file from the ALBs in each region, and the time required to download the file "directly from the Internet" and "using AWS Global Accelerator. As you can see, the time required for downloading is shorter when AWS Global Accelerator is used. Conclusion There are other advantages to using AWS Global Accelerator, but we hope that everyone around the world will be able to use learningBOX more comfortably by improving the speed of response, one of the elements of the system's ease of use. Please keep in mind that the response time of the site depends on the quality of the client's network. The 2.11 version update adds many new features, including improvements to existing features such as "Certification," "English localization support," "B-to-B sales in the EC function," and "Order screen renewal.

Compressing Video

How to compress your videos to make them smaller

This is Kidaoka, Marketing Manager. In this article, we will explain the relationship between video file size and image quality, and show you how to set a smaller video file size. When uploading video materials on learningBOX, the file size of the video file exceeds the capacity of the file, so you cannot register the video file you have taken and have to re-take it again! Please refer to this article to find out how to compress your video files. Click here to see the table of contents. 1 Relationship between video file size and image quality 2. how to calculate video files 3. how to compress video files using FFMPEG 4. summary Relationship between video file size and image quality A video file is made to look like a moving picture by showing a number of still images one after the other, based on the same principle as a flip book. Since many images are stored in a single video file, the file size naturally becomes larger. The size (capacity) of a video depends on three main factors: bit rate, resolution, and codec. Let's take a closer look at them one by one. Bit Rate The bit rate is the amount of data that can be sent and received in one second. The unit is bps (Bit Per Second), which indicates how many bits can be transmitted in one second (Per Second). In simple terms, it is a unit that expresses "how much data can be transferred. The higher the bit rate number, the higher the image quality and the larger the video file size. Resolution Resolution is a numerical value that expresses the density of pixels in a video. In digital video, it is expressed as "a collection of very small colored dots (pixels). The unit of "dpi" or "ppi" is used. The higher the resolution, the higher the density of dots, and the smaller the resolution, the smaller the video capacity. Codec A codec is a device or software that performs the encoding (compression) and decoding (playback) of data. Handling large-sized videos uncompressed requires large memory, hard disks, etc., or compressing the video capacity to reduce its size. Calculation Method for Video Files The data capacity of a video file is calculated as follows ▶Here is the calculation formula Bit rate of video × Length (seconds) ÷ 8 (convert bits to bytes) Since the amount of data per second is the bit rate, multiply the time and convert it to bytes to find the video file size. Exercise For a 10-minute video at 2.5 Mbps, what is the file size? →2.5Mbps × 600 (seconds) ÷ 8 = 187.5MB (megabytes) ▼Here is a quick table on video capacity. Please use it as a guide when uploading your video. The actual capacity may go up or down slightly when audio is added, but this will give you a rough idea of the capacity of your video. Here is how to compress your video using FFMPEG FFMPEG is a command line tool to convert audio or video formats. In this article, we will show you how you can easily compress videos using this tool. (Works on Windows 7 or later) If you have any problems such as audio skipping or overlapping when uploading videos using the newer version, please use the older version here. New: Encoder_20200630.zip Old: Encoder_20180402.zip Download and unzip Encoder_20200630.zip ▼ Click here for instructions on how to compress videos. STEP①: Download Encoder. STEP②: Extract the downloaded zip file. Compress the video using the unzipped Encoder STEP ③: Open the extracted zip file and click on Encoder.exe. STEP④: Select the quality of the video if necessary. STEP⑤:Drag and drop the video you wish to compress. STEP⑥: Encoding of the video will begin. Please wait for a while until the encoding is finished. When encoding is complete, the video will be compressed and saved in a smaller size. *Please note that some images, audio, and video files may not be reduced in size even if the video is compressed. Conclusion In this article, we explained the relationship between video file size and image quality, and introduced how to set the size of video files smaller. Shooting and editing videos is a really time-consuming process. If you are worried about uploading your videos due to their large size, please refer to this article to learn how to compress your video files! LearningBOX has plans that can handle large videos. By using the standard plan, the file size limit per video is relaxed, as well as the total amount of content that can be uploaded. For more information on video capacity per plan, please see About Video Capacity. Thank you for your patience with this paper. We also recommend this article!

E-learning - Newcomer Training

Introduce in-house training for new employees using e-learning

Greetings, I am Kozuki 🐰, a new member of the Marketing Department who joined the company this year. As we start a new fiscal year, I believe that many companies first conduct new employee training when new employees join the company. I, too, took the new employee training! At learningBOX, of course! So this time, I would like to introduce new employee training using our e-learning system, learningBOX, and my "impressions after using it. For those of you who are thinking about "improving the efficiency of new employee training and online learning"! We hope you will consider implementing learningBOX with reference to this article. Click here for the table of contents 1. click here for Tatsuno Information System's new employee training program 2. training flow Impressions of the training 4. summary Click here for Tatsuno Information System's new employee training program. Upon joining our company, all new employees undergo "Basic New Employee Training" and "Customer Support (CS) Training" using the learningBOX. After these two training courses, they are divided into their respective departments and areas of expertise. A brief description of the content of the training... STEP: 1. New employee basic training New employees learn basic information about the company, such as business activities, employment regulations, company rules, tools used in business, and information security. STEP: 2. Customer support (CS) training After learning how to reply to e-mails and how to write sentences, trainees submit a report on how they would reply to e-mails from customers who have actually inquired about learningBOX and QuizGenerator in the past. The purpose of CS training is "to deepen understanding of the functions and services of learningBOX and QuizGenerator," and all employees, not just those in charge of CS, take part in the training. Please take a look at our internal case studies for more information on CS training. https://learningbox.online/casestudy/casestudy20200204/ Training Flow Upon receiving training at learningBOX, you will receive a brief verbal overview of the training and an explanation of how the training will be conducted. After having a senior employee register as a learningBOX member, you will receive an "ID" and "password," and log in to learningBOX to begin the training. The training on learningBOX is conducted by first learning through PDF/Google Slides/videos published on learningBOX, and then answering tests to pass the tests. A passing score is set for the test, and if you fail the test, you will have to take the test again to pass. For quiz-style tests, learningBOX will automatically grade the test, but for questions that require a report, a senior employee will grade the test on learningBOX after the report is submitted. Impressions of newcomer training at learningBOX Now, let me share with you my impressions of the new employee training on learningBOX, the subject of this issue. Impression #1: No confusion in operation When I took the training course at learningBOX, I had no trouble at all in operating the screen. Even if you don't check how to operate the system, you will be able to use it without any problems. One of the points that prevents us from getting lost is the "visualization of the training to be taken". Point 1 ⇒Materials are displayed in the order of progression. LearningBOX has a "course setting" function that allows you to advance to the next question after you pass a specific question. You cannot proceed to the next question until you have passed and understood the question, so you can proceed with the training in the order in which you should proceed. Point 2 Learning status is displayed on the status display. The current learning status is displayed by status, and can be checked from the list, so you can see at a glance which trainings have been completed and which have not. For tests whose results you do not want to show immediately, you can change the status to "Conducted". Point 3 Easy-to-answer question screen As learningBOX offers multiple question formats, tests are presented in a format suitable for the difficulty level and answer method desired by the presenter. The question answer screen is simple and intuitive. The function to display explanations makes it easy to review even if you make a mistake on a question. LearningBOX can also display only the training courses that each department should receive, since it is possible to set up the distribution of training materials for each group by dividing members into groups and setting up the assignment of training materials. Impression #2: Deepen understanding at your own pace Basically, you can proceed from learning to testing all by yourself, allowing you to learn at your own pace. In addition, learningBOX is equipped with "functions to deepen learners' understanding. Point 4.

Free online learning tools available during school holidays

Online learning tools available free of charge during the school holidays Hello! My name is Motoki🍠, and I am in charge of marketing. Due to the spread of the coronavirus, educational institutions around the country continue to close their schools (as of this writing: April 13, 2020). (At the time of writing: April 13, 2020) And it is not limited to educational institutions; our lives as a whole have been greatly affected. In this issue, we would like to introduce online learning tools to support schools during the school closure and the use of textbooks for remote learning that was recently announced in the press. Click here for Table of Contents 1. textbooks can now be used in distance learning and online learning 2. online learning tools for input and output Textbooks are now available for distance learning and online learning With many elementary and junior high schools, universities, and other schools closed due to the government's declaration of a state of emergency, the government has decided to enforce the revised Copyright Act on April 28, 2020, which allows textbooks and other copyrighted works to be used without permission in remote classes in order to create an environment that facilitates remote classes and prevents learning delays. The revised Copyright Act, which will come into effect on April 28, will allow textbooks to be used in remote classes. This will allow textbooks to be used in remote classes, making it possible to provide online learning that allows students to study at home in accordance with the textbooks and study guidelines. *What is the revised Copyright Act? The revised Copyright Act is a law passed in May 2018. It was scheduled to take effect within three years, but due to ongoing discussions among the parties concerned over the amount of compensation and other issues, there was no time frame for the start of the system. This time, it was decided to introduce a special measure not to collect compensation from schools only in FY 2008 as a measure against the new type of Corona. (Source: Japan Association for Compensation Management for Public Transmissions for Teaching Purposes) Under the new system, textbooks and other copyrighted materials can be used freely and without charge (with some restrictions) in remote classes and online learning via the Internet. For example, teachers will be able to send textbooks for preparation and review to children via e-mail or share them on an external server. Online learning tools for input and output Now that these legal changes have made it possible to provide home study based on textbooks, we hope that you will take this opportunity to consider implementing online learning. We have been receiving an increasing number of inquiries from educational institutions, and since March, we have been developing a project called "learningBOX Starter 1000 Plans Free of Charge" to support educational institutions and children affected by the school closure measures. The plan is to provide free starter plans of learningBOX, a learning management system, to schools, cram schools, and other educational institutions until the end of May. (The offer was originally scheduled for the end of April, but has been extended to the end of May due to the extension of school holidays.) The number of users for the starter plan is Starter 1000, which can be used by up to 1,000 people, including the administrator. What is learningBOX? learningBOX is a Learning Management System (LMS). A learning management system is like a "box" for online and e-learning learning. Many teaching materials and learning tools that can be created and registered. With learningBOX, you can easily convert learning materials to the Web and distribute them as online learning tools. In addition, these learning tools are rich in content creation functions that support the input and output of knowledge. In addition, by using grade management, one of the functions of the LMS, teachers can not only check grades immediately online, but also see how much each student understands, where they are falling behind, and so on. Why not make home study more meaningful by combining online learning tools? By taking advantage of the "learningBOX Starter 1000 Plan Free of Charge," a project designed to support educational institutions, you can start online learning for free right now. Educational institutions and parents, please consider this offer.

Let's use the privilege settings of learningBOX! School use version

Let's use the permission settings of learningBOX! School Use Edition Hello! This is ⛄ Shinokura from the Quality Control Department. There has been a pandemic of the new coronavirus worldwide. 。。。。。 Let's be careful and spend our time by thoroughly following the basic "wash your hands, gargle, and ventilate". Now, in this article, I'd like to talk about the use of "learningBOX authorization settings," which I introduced to you a little last time! In this article, based on the previous contents, I would like to further elaborate on the authorization settings and try to set up the authorization settings assuming an example of use in a school. If you are interested in introducing our e-learning system (learningBOX) in your school, please refer to this article to learn the authorization settings and try using it. Click here for the table of contents 1. brief review of authorization settings 2. introduction of authority settings using a school as an example 3. let's add administrative privileges 4. let's try to log in with the member who set the permission 5. summary Brief Review of Authorization Settings Using the Authorization Settings in learningBOX, "management, setting, and editing tasks" such as "creating learning materials, managing grades, and assigning learning materials" that are usually performed by the administrator can be entrusted to a user (a person who has been assigned the authority) designated by the administrator. Authorized users can manage the learning environment in learningBOX in the same way as the administrator, such as creating content (learning materials), viewing and managing learners' grade information, and assigning content to each group. *If you would like to learn more about authority settings, please refer to the previous article on how to give appropriate roles to members using learningBOX's authority settings. Here is an example of authority settings using a school as an example In this authorization setting, the administrator (principal) will set authorizations such as "create teaching materials, manage grades, and assign teaching materials" to the leader (teacher) of each group. To make it easier to understand the authorization settings, we will divide the groups into "learning administrator = teacher" and "learner = student". To set up permissions, you will first need to create a group in Member Management. In this case, we will use this group that we have prepared in advance. Using the member management function of learningBOX, you can add and register members and groups by delving into one group in more detail. ▼ Group Configuration This time, the group is structured in this hierarchy. Teacher>>Student Management - Subject>>Japanese - Mathematics - English - Social Studies - Science ・・・・・ Student>>Year 1->Year 2->Year 3->Group 1->Group 2・・・・ *The flow of setting up permissions is to create member accounts for teachers in the "Teacher" group, student member accounts in the "Student" group, and member accounts for administrators in the "Administration in General" group. And in this example setup, we will show you how to 1. grant administrative privileges to the "Head teacher" from the principal who is the administrator. 2. set up a "student administrator" teacher to manage "students". 3. set up a "teacher administrator" teacher to manage "teachers". We would like to set up the above three. Let's put on the management authority. Let's log in to learningBOX with the account of the administrator (principal) and set up the administrative privileges. As the general supervisor of learningBOX, you will have all administrative privileges. It might be a good idea to put the principal's most trusted "vice principal" in charge of this post! Here is how to set it up. Please watch this video. Here is the procedure for setting up permissions. (1) Log in with the administrator's account. (2) Select the group/member for which you wish to set administrative privileges. In this case, "Administration General". (3) Click on the All icon for Administrative Authority, select "All members and all materials, and check all" and save it. Now, the "vice principal = administrator with full authority" can create groups and members (and can also be granted administrative privileges), create and assign teaching materials, view grades, manage announcements, edit the text of e-mails, and operate settings. Setting Permissions for Student Management Groups ▼ Please watch this video. The members of the "Teacher" >> "Student Management" group (student administrators) are authorized to manage "students". Click on the icon button of the person with administrative privileges, select "Students" instead of all members, and save. This will allow the student administrator to create, edit, and delete members in the hierarchy below "Students". The student member accounts do not need any specific permissions, so the grant permissions will not be granted. Authorization rights will also be set for teacher-managed groups. ▼ Please see this video. Give permission to the member (teacher administrator) who belongs to "Sensei" >> "Teacher Management" to manage "Sensei". Administrative Permissions >> People Icon >> Select "Teacher" without selecting all members and save. Next, click the hammer icon in the administrative authority, check the grant authority and save. This setting allows the teacher administrator to create, edit, and delete members in the hierarchy below "Teacher", as well as to grant administrative privileges to them. Let's log in with the member who has been granted privileges. Let's log in to learningBOX with the member who has been given the authority and check the member management screen. Administrator with full privileges Log in to learningBOX with the account of the head teacher. The screen is the same as that of the owner (principal). You can also set input fields. Student Administrator When you open the member management screen, don't be surprised if you see "You do not have administrative privileges for this group. Click on "Students" to view the members belonging to the "Students" group. You can add, edit, and delete groups and members by clicking the + button. (Below "Student") There are no items with icons for administrative privileges, because you have not been given the authority to grant privileges. Teacher Administrator As before, you can view the members belonging to "Teacher" by clicking "Teacher". You can add, edit, and delete groups and members from + button. (Under "Teacher") Because you have been given authorization authority, you can add authorization from the administration authority. Conclusion Many schools across the country have suddenly decided to close as a measure to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. Although it was unavoidable, teachers must have been troubled by the sudden situation. With an e-learning system, the teacher can take videos of the class from home and submit questions, and the students can view the videos and solve the problems at home. Our e-learning system, learningBOX, is available on a free trial basis. In this paper, we introduced how to give only the authority that is required, not uniformly the same authority, to groups and members assuming a school. In the next issue, I would like to talk about how to set the authority to teachers for each subject. Thank you for your patience until the end.
