On the Product Registration screen, enter the product code, title, and description of the product. The product description should clearly state what knowledge and skills will be acquired and who the product is intended for, in order to motivate users to purchase the product. The thumbnail image is also an important part of the product, so we recommend setting an image that will catch the user's eye. Then, select the pre-created materials, set the preview, price, sales period, etc., and you are done. For more information on how to register your products, please refer to this page. Sales Management Functions - Payment Functions The earningBOX EC function supports the following 6 payment methods. You can select the payment method to be used from the payment processing settings screen, change the wording to be displayed before and after the purchase, and set the payee. The "Receipt Settings" screen allows users to select whether or not to use the receipt issuing function and to edit the information to be included on the receipt. Once set, users can issue receipts from their purchase history. EC Function Fee Plans LearningBOX pricing plans are usually calculated based on a license fee plus various optional fees. The license fee is charged on a pay-as-you-go basis based on the number of accounts. There are two types of licenses, the Starter Plan and the Standard Plan. The difference between the Starter Plan and the Standard Plan is the difference in server capacity and upload capacity per material. However, if you wish to use the EC function, there is a special license plan for EC called the "EC Special License." Unlike the standard license, it is a pay-as-you-go plan based on the amount of payment for course sales. With the EC Special License, the number of accounts and total data capacity are unlimited, so there is no need to worry even if the number of users or teaching materials increases. (The limit per teaching material is 500 MB.) EC Special License requires a contract for a dedicated server. ➡For more information about EC Special License, please visit the EC Special License page here. Conclusion In this article, we have introduced the details of EC functions and plans. There are many more features that we have not been able to fully introduce. If you have any questions about usage or functions, please feel free to contact us! Thank you for reading to the end.

How to give appropriate roles to members using learningBOX permission settings Hello! This is my second time to write a blog. My name is ⛄ Shinokura. This time, I wrote an article highlighting "Authorization Settings" for member management. Authorization settings allow you to set up role assignments for each account, such as "creating teaching materials, managing grades, assigning teaching materials," and so on. Thank you very much for your understanding. Table of Contents What are authorization settings in the first place? 2. how to set permissions 3. how to assign permission settings to members 4. detailed settings 5. summary What are permission settings in the first place? Our e-learning system (learningBOX) allows you to give authority to group members. Each member can be given a role, and a wide range of settings can be made, including "Administrator Authorization," "Teaching Material Management Authorization," "Grade Management Authorization," "Teaching Material Allocation Authorization," "Group Management Authorization," and more. For more information on authority settings, please refer to "Administrative Authority". How to set up privileges First, create an owner account with all permissions. After registering the account, click "Member Management" on the menu bar and assign permissions. Let's assign permission settings to members. Group Management Authority Authority to invite and edit members, create and edit groups. Authority to manage teaching materials Members who are authorized to manage teaching materials can manage [Create/Edit Contents] and [Create/Edit Folders] in the learningBOX. Grade Management Authority Members who have been granted grade management privileges can view the grades of other users. Grades of all users invited by the administrator are displayed by group, by individual, and by question. Authority to Assign Grades Members who have been granted the right to assign grades to specific users or groups can assign folders to specific users or groups. Administrator Privileges There are four types of administrative privileges, each of which can be set. The four types of administrative privileges are "Authorization", "Notification Management", "Email Template Editing", and "Settings Page Access". Detailed Configuration Methods Each user can edit a specific folder or group, or view group members' grades. Clicking on Group Management Permissions in Member Management opens a modal and allows you to set permissions in a pull-down format. Group Management Permissions allow you to invite and edit members only to the groups you have set. If you have permission to one group only, you cannot move members to other groups. With the Educational Material Management permission, you can edit and create educational materials only in the configured folders. With grade management privileges, you will only be able to view the grades of the course materials in the folder you have set for the group you have set. Conclusion In this article, we have introduced the authorization settings. By partially granting the necessary permissions to each member account, you can create a system that prevents users from moving to pages they are not in charge of. You can hide pages that you do not want to be viewed by unmanaged users and prevent accidental operations. The administrative authorization function can be combined in dozens or hundreds of ways, including partial authorization. You can configure them to suit your needs. Thank you for reading to the end.

Thank you very much for your interest in our e-learning system. Table of Contents 1. do you have any of these employee training problems? 2. learningBOX is an e-learning system that even first-time users can use with confidence. 3. here are some examples of situations in which learningBOX can be used 4. summary Do you have any of these employee training problems? If you are in charge of training and have only conducted group training, please contact us. Do you have any of these problems or issues when implementing and operating employee training? The person in charge of training is worried: "I don't have time for group training for all participants. We don't have the budget to conduct training every time. The level of knowledge acquisition varies from employee to employee. We have conducted major training programs, but as time goes by, the knowledge fades and it takes time for it to take root. I need an e-learning solution to all my staff's problems! But ...... Concerns about operational aspects I am not familiar with computer-related knowledge or electronic devices. I am not confident about creating training materials and setting up the content I want to use for training. Concerns about price The price is too high, and I cannot afford to spend a large amount of money. I am afraid to purchase a product or service that is difficult to see what is inside. Concerns about ease of use If there is a difference in usability among different age groups, it will be difficult for the company to introduce and manage the service. Can anyone, not just a few people, manage the system? There are many people who are interested in e-learning learning, but who reject or are uncomfortable with computer operation and setting methods.

How to Increase Learning Effectiveness with Blended Learning It's already the last month of the 2021 calendar year! This is Kobashi🐧 from Development. Have you ever heard of "blended learning"? In recent years, it has been attracting attention as a new learning (training) style that combines e-learning and group training. In this issue, we would like to briefly introduce "blended learning. Table of Contents What is "Blended Learning"? 2. advantages of blended learning Why learningBOX is recommended for blended learning 4. summary What is "Blended Learning"? Blended Learnig Blended learning is a training style that combines two types of learning methods: e-learning for knowledge acquisition and testing, and group training for discussion and on-the-job training. Although e-learning has become the norm as a form of learning, there are some subjects that cannot be mastered without hands-on training, and for these subjects, it is better to gather in person for group training/learning. In such cases, is group training alone really sufficient? In many cases, the majority of the training time is spent explaining basic knowledge and terminology, and the practical skills training is done at a snail's pace, with the result that the learning effect and results are not very good. In such cases, try to sort out the content of the training. Taking the example of "combining group training and e-learning," let's say Participants acquire basic knowledge through e-learning in advance. The instructor collects data on the students' learning status and conducts a questionnaire to understand the students' situation. 2. (2) During the group training, emphasis is placed on practical skills training and other activities that are only possible in a real group training session. 3. after the group training, participants can continue to follow up with e-learning and review tests to ensure continuity. This will dramatically increase the effectiveness of learning. In other words, "mixing the best parts of multiple learning styles to maximize the learning effect. This is "blended learning. Blended learning This is a form of learning in which students learn in a formal educational program, using materials and instructions provided at least partially through online delivery, in a situation where they can decide to some extent when, where, and in what order and at what pace they will learn. Students would still attend the school building, but would combine face-to-face classroom learning with computer-mediated activities (e-learning). Proponents of blended learning cite the ability to collect data on student progress and the ability to customize the instructional and assessment process as major advantages of this approach. (From Wikipedia.) Blended Learning References:. Blended Learning - Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Blended Learning - Japan E-Learning Consortium Benefits of Blended Learning The following are some of the benefits of incorporating blended learning into your training program. (1) By conducting a questionnaire before the training, the instructor can provide training that matches the learners' learning status on the day of the training. (ii) Participants' objectives and awareness of their participation in the training can be raised. (iii) Training is not one-way but interactive and meaningful (iv) Reviewing the material after the training with quiz-style materials and slide digests, etc., will help to consolidate the memory of the training. (v) Reduced scheduling burden and transportation costs for training participants as well (6) Acquire basic knowledge through e-learning in advance + Group training and classes + Post-training e-learning to consolidate memories Blended learning is also a type of blended learning in which classes are converted from an input-based to an output-based format. In addition to the flipped classroom, e-learning for review after class is the most powerful form of blended learning. Instead of a passive, one-sided class in which students simply listen to the teacher's lessons, interactive classes become possible. Since there will be a lot of transmission from the students, their brains will inevitably become more active as well, right? Inverted class One form of blended learning, in which students prepare for new learning content by watching video lessons, usually at home, and no lectures are given in the classroom; on the contrary, teachers give individualized instruction to students on assignments that would traditionally be considered homework, and students work on them in collaboration with other students. In this type of class, students work with other students on assignments that would traditionally be considered homework. Blended Learning References. Blended learning-Wikipedia Why learningBOX is recommended for blended learning You might think that blending e-learning with fewer training days would save costs for the organizer. But is this really the case? In fact, blending eLearning may actually cost you more. Some of the problems with eLearning in general include It is not cost-effective because of the cost of implementing a learning management system (LMS). It is difficult to create SCORM materials. It is difficult to create SCORM materials" "When I want to modify the contents of the materials, I cannot easily do it by myself. However, with learningBOX, you do not have to worry about the above. You can easily create and modify educational materials without any difficult knowledge. Moreover, significant cost reductions can be expected. If you have any questions, please rest assured that we have a generous support system in place. E-learning can be easily started by individuals or companies. *Further information on the functions of learningBOX can be found on the learningBOX usage page. Conclusion In this article, we introduced blended learning, which can greatly improve the learning effect by separating the parts of training that can be done on an individual basis from the parts that can only be done in group training, even if the content of the training is not suitable for e-learning. Why not blend learningBOX, which can be easily started with as little as 10 free accounts, into any learning situation?

Regarding the size of video files when creating e-learning materials I am Nagai🎮 of Quality Control, suffering from a cold that is not completely gone. This time, I would like to share with you a question that we have received many inquiries from our customers: "When uploading e-learning materials, how long is a video file and how much space does it take? This article is an explanation and a small piece of information in response to this question. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Click here for Table of Contents 1. what is a video file 2. how to calculate a video file 3. how to upload a video file to learningBOX 4. summary What is a video file? A video file uses the same principle as a flip book to show a series of still images one after the other to make the picture appear to be moving. A single video file contains a number of image files, and the file size naturally becomes large. The size (capacity) of a video file depends mainly on the numerical values of factors such as bit rate, resolution, codec, etc. Let's take a look at each of these factors in detail. Let's take a look at them one by one in detail. Relationship between file size and image quality Bit rate This is a unit of rate at which data is transferred. 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. POINT Generally, to improve video quality, it is necessary to increase the resolution (fineness) of the video, and to increase the resolution of the video, it is necessary to increase the file size of the video. In particular, the size of the bit rate, which represents the file size per second of video, will greatly affect the quality of the image. However, if the bit rate is too large, the performance of the communication line and terminal will be greatly burdened when the video is transmitted over the Internet, causing the video to not play smoothly. Video File Calculation Method You can calculate how much the file size of a video file will be. The data capacity is calculated as follows. ▷Here is the calculation formula Video bit rate x length (seconds) ÷ 8 (convert bits to bytes) Since the amount of data per second is the bit rate, multiplying the time and converting it to bytes will give you 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. How to upload a video file to learningBOX When uploading a video file, the size of the file may vary depending on the settings used at the time of shooting and the performance of the equipment used at the time of shooting. You can check the capacity of the video file by right-clicking ➡ Properties. Click here to see how to check the capacity of your video file. We will show you how to upload videos using YouTube. In this article, we will show you how to upload a YouTube video using video content provided free of charge by the "IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan)". (Source: From IPA youtube channel) Registering a YouTube video STEP1: First of all, login to learningBOX. STEP2: Click on "Content Management" and go to "Other Materials" ➡ "YouTube Video".

Let's try the Christmas quiz! 3. Using the e-learning system 4. Summary Review of Christmas What exactly is Christmas? The word "Christmas" is derived from the words "Christ" (Christ, the Savior) and "Mas" (Mass, worship). The day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ into the world about 2,000 years ago is called "Christmas. When the Christmas season approaches, we often hear "Merry Christmas! We use it without thinking about it, but not many people know the meaning of the word, do they? Merry Christmas" is an abbreviation of "I wish you a merry Christmas. It is a kind expression that wishes "I wish you a merry Christmas. Origin of Christmas Color Red is the color that symbolizes the blood of Jesus Christ in some Christian religions. Green is the color that symbolizes holly, a standard and decorative item at Christmas. Belonging to the coniferous tree family, holly never appears to wither, symbolizing its eternal life force. Incidentally, the body of the Christmas tree may be selected for the same reason as holly. Christmas trees are generally made of evergreen coniferous trees as lumber. Since ancient times, regardless of region or culture, colors have been thought to have meanings, powers, and wishes. Even in Japan, colors were used to indicate status, and certain colors were used to ward off evil. Similarly, in Christianity, specific colors are also associated with meanings and wishes. Who is Santa Claus? Origins of Santa Claus He is said to be modeled on St. Nicholas, a saint who existed in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey) in the 4th century. He was popularly known as a friend of the common people who performed various miracles (miracle workers) to help the unfortunate people. The legend that he saved a family by throwing gold coins down the chimney of a poor girl who was about to sell herself to the poor is said to be the prototype for the later "Santa Claus Story. Where did Santa Claus come from? Did Santa Claus come from Scandinavia or the North Pole? According to a legend about Santa Claus that was introduced to the United States in the 1920s, his hometown is the North Pole. In the 1920s, a legend about Santa Claus in the U.S. suggested that his hometown was in Finnish Lapland, which is located within the Arctic Circle. In 1927, the Finnish National Broadcasting Company declared Korvatunturi in eastern Lapland (called Ear Mountain because of its shape) to be Santa Claus' official residence.

E-Learning System for International Users Nice to meet you! My name is Mukai, and I am a sales representative. It's been almost nine months since I joined the company, and I'm learning every day. To begin with, I would like to talk about something that often comes up during meetings with our customers. One of the topics that comes up frequently these days is that we hear many people say that they want to use the system for training foreigners working in Japan. It seems that more and more foreign employees are being hired as part of globalization. E-learning is suitable for employee training, and we understand that many people are using it. However, if the e-learning system does not support language switching, foreign employees may not understand the operation of the system and may be confused before receiving the training. LearningBOX, a learning management system (LMS), allows you to switch the language to English, making it easier for foreigners to learn. This paper introduces the operation method for switching to English and the communication problems of foreign workers, which have been increasing more and more in recent years. Click here for Table of Contents 1. how to change the language setting to English 2. the increasing number of foreign workers and communication problems 3. using e-learning to create a comfortable workplace for foreign workers 4. summary How to change language settings to English Let's take "Google Chrome," which has a high market share ranking among web browsers in Japan, as an example to change the language setting. STEP1 First of all, open Google Chrome Select "︙ (three vertical dots)" to open the Chrome menu. Click on Settings STEP2 Change the language settings from the settings screen Click on "Settings" and go to the bottom and you will see "Advanced Settings". Click on "Advanced Settings". Click on "V" next to the language you wish to change. STEP3 Change the language setting from Japanese to English Click on "English ︙" in the list of languages displayed under "Sort languages in the desired order. Click "Move to Top" to move English to the top. STEP4 English setting completed Click "English ︙" as before, and click "Google Chrome" in this language to proceed. The language will be changed to "English. The language of learningBOX is now set to English When you log in to learningBOX, you will see that the language in the system has been changed to English. Currently, some menus are still in Japanese, but we are working to correct this as needed. Increasing number of foreign workers and communication problems The number of foreign workers in the country has doubled over the past few years. Their share of the domestic labor force is also increasing and exceeded 2% in 2018. According to estimates by the Japan Research Institute, if foreign workers are accepted at the current pace, their share of the working population is expected to reach 5-6% by 2030. Municipalities with large numbers of foreign workers Dantotsu No. 1 is Tokyo The number one ranking of localities with large foreign populations is Tokyo by a landslide. The number of foreign residents in Tokyo is 521,502, accounting for 20% of all foreign residents. Of these, approximately 229,000 are engaged in labor, which is also the highest number in Japan. The reason for this top spot is that many companies have their headquarters here, as well as educational institutions, which attracts a large number of foreign students and highly-skilled personnel in fields such as technology, humanities, and international business. Unexpectedly large number of Aichi Prefecture In second place is Aichi Prefecture with 235,320 residents. The percentage of foreign residents in Aichi Prefecture is approximately 9.2% of the total, and Brazilians are particularly numerous in the prefecture. The reason for the large number of Brazilians is that Aichi Prefecture is home to the plants of leading Japanese companies such as Toyota Motor Corporation, and many of them work there. There are also many foreign students living in the area. One reason is the high hourly wage. The minimum wage in Aichi Prefecture is the fourth highest in Japan, more than 100 yen higher than in Fukuoka and Okinawa, where there are many other foreign students. Third place goes to Osaka Prefecture, a popular tourist destination Third place goes to Osaka Prefecture. The number of foreigners residing in Osaka Prefecture is 225,269, or 8.8% of the total. The foreigners who are particularly numerous in Osaka are considered to be Koreans and Koreans. Osaka has become a popular destination for tourists in recent years. In 2009, approximately 11.11 million foreign tourists visited Osaka, which is the second largest number in Japan as a whole. The number of tourists visiting Osaka was approximately 1.58 million in 2011, a seven-fold increase in six years. Communication Problems with Foreign Workers Foreign workers are said to be difficult to train, and communication problems are said to be the main reason for this. Let's take a closer look. Cases where smooth communication is not possible due to language barriers It was difficult to convey words and meanings even if I wanted to pay attention to them. It was difficult to convey the unique and delicate Japanese expressions (colors and nuances) because they were not understood at all. Trouble caused by differences in values and culture It was difficult to convey my feelings to them because they did not understand my tatemae, which is a Japanese way of speaking. The rules of time were not well observed. We explained to them again, for example, "Please come to the office on time because the starting time of work is fixed. There was a time when even being five minutes late was not a big deal, and it annoyed those around me. Using e-Learning to Create a Comfortable Workplace for Foreign Workers Why do Japanese people find it difficult to train foreign workers? In addition to the "language barrier," many people feel "bewilderment at the differences in lifestyle and culture. This is thought to be due to the fact that when foreign workers become co-workers, they have more opportunities to come into contact with things that are unfamiliar to Japanese people, such as ideas about work and religious beliefs. With e-learning, you can teach Japanese culture, common sense, and manners using a smartphone or computer. Depending on the learner's level, they can learn Japanese language and acquire the skills necessary for work. The feature of our e-Learning system is that you can 'proceed with learning and training as a course study. Features of learningBOX!

What is EdTech? Hello! I am Motoki from Marketing. As a quick reminder, I would like to write this blog as a glossary of e-learning terms, "What is EdTech?" So, I will write a blog on this topic. Click here for the table of contents. What is EdTech? 2. the beginning of EdTech 3. what is learningBOX? 4. summary What is EdTech? EdTech" is written and read as "EdTech." (When I first saw it, I read it as "edtech.") This term was coined by combining the words "Education" and "Technology. It refers to new education and learning using digital technology and the apps and services that provide it. In Japan, it began to be searched for around 2012 and has been attracting more and more attention in recent years. (Reference: Google Trends) There are many other such "00Tech" terms. For example, "FinTech" is a word often seen on TV and in magazines. For example, household account bookkeeping apps are well-known. Another commonly heard term is "HR Tech," which is a combination of the words "Human Resources" and "Technology. These industry names followed by "tech" are collectively referred to as "X-Tech (X-Tech or Cross-Tech). And when you get down to the meaning of the word "EdTech," you will find that (to put it in a very cool way) EdTech" means "to revolutionize the way educational services are provided through technology. Now, what comes to mind when you think of "EdTech"? What comes to mind, for example, is "e-learning. What is e-learning? E-learning is a form of learning that uses the Internet. Learning that allows students to improve their skills at their own pace regardless of location, time, or learning content by using electronic devices such as PCs, mobile terminals, and other IT networks.

The U.S. is a large country, and many companies are expanding globally, not only domestically, so there are limits to the amount of employee training and human resource development that can be conducted through group training. As a result, along with the spread of the Internet, e-learning and EdTech services evolved as a means of corporate human resource development. The services also became increasingly popular as a means of closing the education gap. ▼ Evolving EdTech services in the U.S. [e-Learning around the world]. Evolving EdTech Services in the U.S. [eLearning Around the World]. Educational innovations that began with EdTech have also spawned trends such as "STEM education. ▼ What is STEM education? In addition, EdTech services are now being created not only in the U.S. but also around the world in terms of educational disparities. Many EdTech IT ventures have emerged, especially in developing countries where there is a large educational gap and where the use of smartphones is rapidly increasing. ICT in Education in Japan Unfortunately, Japan lags behind other developed countries in ICT in education. Although the introduction of programming education in elementary schools has been attracting attention, ICT equipment, which is also the tool for such education, has not been well developed. There are many issues that need to be addressed in order to promote ICT in education, such as budgetary issues for the development of the environment and the structure for teaching.
