We will now introduce the details of the 2.12 version upgrade. 1. test creation function I want to create tests easily! I want to create tests that meet the specifications of CBT and certification tests! We have responded to these voices! With this test creation function, you can easily set a limit on the number of times a test can be taken and the date and time the test will be open to the public. You can also display or hide the score information of the participants during the test according to your needs. You can switch from paper-based testing to online testing, such as online certification tests and CBT. 2. renewal of report assignment I want to create reports that can be used in remote classes! "I want to communicate with the grader!" We have renewed the report assignment creation function to respond to such requests. Especially for schools offering online classes, this function can be used to promote report use and distance learning. In the past, once a report assignment was graded as pass/fail, it was not marked as "awaiting grading" on the study screen, and could be submitted as many times as needed, even if it was resubmitted. From now on, content creators can set whether or not to allow resubmission of report assignments. Customers who are already using the learningBOX report function will be inconvenienced, but this renewal will also apply to report assignments that have already been created.

The existing badge feature has been powered up! With the custom badge function, you can restrict the purchase of certain products to only those users who have earned a specific badge (successful candidates). For example, on a site that sells certification test content, only those who have purchased and passed the Level 3 certification test can purchase the Level 2 certification test, which is a higher level of certification test. 5) Publication period setting for each educational material Previously, only folders could be set to be open to the public, but now it is possible to set the open period for each educational material. In addition, a function has been added to gray out content in accordance with the scheduled release and end dates, allowing users to check at a glance which materials are scheduled to be released and when. 6. Save in Progress on Quiz/Test Creation Forms A button has been added to the quiz/test creation form that allows you to save your quiz/test while it is in progress. In the previous quiz/test creation form, there was only one save button, and clicking the save button took the user to the content management screen. With the new Save button, quizzes can be saved frequently within the quiz/test creation form. 7. Ranking Board A new ranking board has been added. This function allows you to check your own performance and learning level relatively, and also allows you to compete with other members in your group. What is your current ranking?

The recipients of notices to designated groups and the registrants of notices can be confirmed on the list screen. 15. Modification of group hierarchy display The display of group hierarchy has been redesigned. With this functional improvement, it is now possible to search for a group name. 16.

Please take a moment to read this announcement if you are currently using the report function in learningBOX. This page introduces the changes that will be made to the report function in the next version of learningBOX. In the previous version of learningBOX, once a report was submitted and graded as pass/fail, it was not marked as awaiting grading on the learning screen and could be submitted as many times as needed, even if it was resubmitted. Starting with version 2.12 of learningBOX, content creators will be able to set whether or not to allow learners to resubmit reports after they have submitted them. For customers using the learningBOX shared server When the version of learningBOX is upgraded to 2.12, the system will automatically switch to the latest functions even if no settings are made by the customer. Therefore, when editing report materials that were created and edited before the version upgrade after the upgrade, the visual design and setting methods may differ from the previous usage. ⚠The report submission method will change. Prior to version 2.12 of learningBOX, learners could choose to submit their assignments by either "web input/file upload" or both, and learners could only submit their report assignments by one of "web input/attach file".

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. Please take a look at the release details. ▼learningBOX has been upgraded to Ver. 2.11 We will continue to listen to our customers' voices and improve our functions to be more useful to them. We look forward to your continued support of learningBOX.

LDAP / ActiveDirectory Integration With the learningBOX 2.9 version upgrade, we have added support for integration with LDAP servers.

LDAP authentication can be used not only for user authentication, but also for user management in conjunction with directory services. LDAP authentication requires a dedicated server contract. SAML Authentication Settings SAML authentication settings have been added since Ver. 2.8. To make it easier to use, the corresponding Identity Provider (IdP) and authentication setting screen have been added. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an XML-based international standard authentication method for authenticating users across different Internet domains, and is a protocol for achieving single sign-on (SSO).

Interruption Resume Function The "Suspend and Resume" function, which is useful when conducting tests and examinations, has been further improved. We understand that in many cases you may use the one-time-only limit when conducting a test, but with this improved feature, you can interrupt and resume the quiz even if you leave the system screen during the test. This is an option that allows users to suspend and resume the quiz when taking the quiz/test. You can interrupt your answers in the middle of the quiz, and resume from the middle of the quiz. A new mode "Resume from Interruption" has been added for this time. When "Enable" is specified, you can choose to "Resume from the beginning" or "Start over from the beginning" when resuming. If you specify "Enable only from the continuation", you can only select "Resume from the continuation". Notification function for specified course materials The "Notify me when a learner has completed certain material" function has been added to meet the request of "automatically notifying the administrator when a learner has completed certain material". This function allows you to set up email notifications to be sent to the administrator when there is a change in a learner's grade status.
