Now, let's move on to No. 2! 2nd Place:. E-Learning Learning for Use in Schools [Part I]. (Published on June 27, 2019) https://learningbox.online/2019/06/27/effectofelearning/ In second place is "E-Learning Learning That Can Be Used in Schools [Part 1]" by our blog prince, Takitaoka of the Marketing Department. In this article, we discuss e-learning learning useful in school education, using "Mr. Taro Tatsuno," who teaches social studies at a junior high school, as a model, and how to create a learning environment that reduces the burden on teachers and increases students' awareness of studying through e-learning learning. The article explains in an easy-to-understand manner how to create a learning environment that reduces the burden on teachers and raises students' motivation to study by using the learning management system, learningBOX. This is exactly where e-learning comes in, improving the workload of teachers and the challenges of teaching students by introducing e-learning. We hope that school teachers, cram schools, distance learning schools, and other educational professionals will read this article. And I eagerly await the [second part] of this article! And now, on to the majestic No. 1! No. 1: The Learning English with e-learning learning systems (Published on October 8, 2019) https://learningbox.online/2019/10/08/blog_e-learning-englishstudy/ The first place is again an article by our blog prince, Takitaoka. It is titled "Learning English Using an eLearning Learning System." This article explains how to learn English using learningBOX, a learning management system LMS, using materials available on learningBOX, such as memorization cards, bug-eating notebooks, typing materials, and quizzes. The actual learning materials introduced are available for downloading at the end of the site. If you DL these and upload them to learningBOX, you can use them as learning contents. I recommend the typing materials. You can practice typing directly on this page. This is also an article that I would like to recommend to those involved in school education and tutoring schools. Finally Looking back at it this way, it seems that one of the main reasons for the popularity of the blog is the use of e-learning, the current environment surrounding education, technical and professional articles related to LMS, and the use of learningBOX in conjunction with these topics. In addition, we have conducted an internal "Golden Blogger Award" that summarizes the blogs published from May-October of this 2019 year. Thanks to the many articles written by everyone in the company, it was a great success. ↓↓Marketing Takataoka-san, winner of the first Golden Blogger Award. We will continue to work together to publish good articles that will please our customers. Thank you for your continued support!

Hello, my name is Morishita from the Development Department. I am a new programmer who has been with the company for two months. Let me start by asking, have you ever heard of "metacognition"? Metacognitive ability" is now attracting attention as it is reputed to be effective in improving work ability. What kind of ability and why does it enhance work performance? In addition to work skills, there are other factors necessary for efficient work. One of them is "metacognition. This paper introduces the relationship between "metacognition" and "e-learning. Click here for Table of Contents 1. what is metacognition? 2. why is metacognition attracting attention in the field of learning? 3. the relationship between e-learning and metacognition 4. learningBOX has many functions to promote metacognition! 5. summary What is metacognition? Metacognition is the ability to objectively evaluate one's own thoughts and actions from a higher perspective by taking a step back. Since its concept was proposed by J.H. Flavell in the 1970s, it has been widely recognized in fields such as psychology, brain science, and education. If we can properly evaluate our own learning activities, we can continue to learn effectively. This is often explained by the concept of "metacognition. Recently, a joint study by Benesse Holdings and the University of Tokyo (press release in March 2019) was conducted and, to our surprise, the study reported that high school students whose grades increased had (came to have) "metacognition" to view their learning objectively. Did you know that "metacognition" is related to higher grades? According to these studies, being able to "understand what you don't understand" and being aware of "what you are working for" are extremely important for smooth progress in learning. In addition, Endo (2018) of the University of Fukui describes self-evaluation in learning as "metacognitive activity" as follows 　People check and inspect their own cognitive processes as metacognitive monitoring, and then, based on the monitored results, improve and adjust their cognitive activities as metacognitive control. This metacognitive activity is the core of self-evaluation activity. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Koji Tanaka (ed.), Takahiro Endo (2018). Understanding Educational Evaluation, 2nd Edition, Minerva Shobo (V-5. Children's Self-Evaluation, p. 61). Models of metacognitive activities You have another self observing (monitoring) yourself from one higher perspective and modifying (controlling) your thoughts and actions. This is also true in our daily lives when we view ourselves objectively and try to control our words and actions, etc. Why is metacognition gaining attention in the learning field? In the first place, human beings have the ability to. Not many people can evaluate themselves objectively (it is very difficult). The same can be said about study and learning. Because they are not able to "objectively" evaluate their learning goals and learning status. ⇒This is why "meta-cognition" is attracting attention. While you are in school, your teachers evaluate you. When you become a member of society, "senior employees" instruct you on the knowledge and skills necessary for work and the rules for working adults. In larger companies, there may be "OJT staff" or a "mentor system". However, it is usually rare to have someone who is always there to evaluate your learning progress. Especially the more complex the task is, the more you will need to judge and correct yourself many times to see if the work and your way of doing it are really appropriate. Improved metacognition has a significant impact on learning effectiveness. Here are some examples of how metacognition has affected learning effectiveness. Case 1: "Metacognition" Tracking the Same High School Student for Three Years Effectively Increases Grades Using three years of high school tracking data (703 children) of children who graduated from high school in March 2018, we looked at the changes for each child, and found that high school students whose grades increased had (or had come to have) an intrinsic motivation to learn and goals for the future. In addition, high school students with higher grades were found to have (or have come to have) "metacognition" ("metacognitive strategies") to view their own learning objectively. This trend was particularly pronounced among those who had been accepted to difficult-to-enter universities, suggesting that the presence or absence of metacognition is effective in achieving high learning outcomes, such as higher grades and university acceptance. (Reference: Benesse Education Research Institute) Case 2: Metacognition is involved in the environment and work necessary for the process of children's growth It was found that children whose grades changed "all the way up" or "rose" from the second to the third year of high school were more likely to utilize study methods (metacognitive strategies) such as "redoing questions they got wrong on tests" and "studying while checking what they do not understand. In addition, children whose grades "rose" were more likely to utilize these study methods. (Reference: "Metacognition" is effective in raising grades) Review of Metacognitive Skills POINT Enhancing metacognitive skills will develop the ability to analyze what is known, and to evaluate and provide feedback on the setup and work processes necessary to solve problems. Appropriate monitoring and control is expected to enhance learning effectiveness. If the learning objectives are vague, it is difficult to know how to study. Another reason for frustration is that the scope of the study is not clearly defined, or that students start with things that are too difficult. Have you ever thought, "I thought I studied pretty hard, but I didn't learn as much as I thought I would..."? Have you ever had such a situation? This may be because you are not able to evaluate and grasp your own learning situation in detail. Relationship between e-learning and metacognition ☑POINT E-learning can enhance metacognitive skills necessary for learning. E-learning systems can quantify and visualize performance data and learning status. E-learning systems can be set up to match the learner's level and goals. The system can also be used to analyze the results of the study, and to identify at a glance the type of learning process of each individual (e.g., rush-into, habit-forming, and run-away-from-the-moment types). ➡You can "further enhance your meta-cognitive abilities" by understanding your own learning progress and arrangements! It is difficult to keep learning while keeping metacognition at a high level at all times. e-Learning, by playing a part in metacognitive activities, will help learners improve their metacognition, which in turn will lead to more effective learning outcomes. learningBOX has a full range of features that can promote such metacognition! With learningBOX's grade management function, you can easily check the learner's learning progress information. Learning status and grade dating can be quantified and graphed to support accurate monitoring of learners. Individual grade information can also be checked immediately. In this article, we will introduce the system using the "Information Security Training" used in Tatsuno Information System's training programs. By actively using e-learning for learning activities, it is possible to accurately visualize the learning status each time. This not only stabilizes the accuracy of monitoring, but also reduces the burden of monitoring on the learners themselves, giving them more time to focus on appropriate control and higher-level monitoring (their own more detailed thought process), which is expected to support the improvement of learners' metacognition. Recommended features of learningBOX Learners can easily check grades and learning progress on their smartphones! →The grade management function allows learners to visualize their learning status! Learners' grades and learning status can be utilized as materials for course creation! →Easy to create courses and set up groups according to the learner's level! The ability to create questions to check comprehension for tests and examinations is amazing! →Even those who are not good at computer operation can create quizzes and exam questions from the day they read the manual! learningBOX has many more features to support and follow up your learners' education than just grade management! You can learn more about the functions and how to set them up on the usage page here. If you want to promote metacognition, please register as an owner of learningBOX now! Conclusion In this article, we have introduced the metacognitive skills necessary for effective work. In order to produce effective learning outcomes, appropriate self-assessment is necessary. Metacognitive activities, the core of self-evaluation, should be based on the results of "monitoring (confirmation and inspection)" and "control (improvement and adjustment). e-Learning visualizes (data) the learning status and supports accurate monitoring of learners.

Nice to meet you. My name is Mori🌻, and I am in charge of sales and introduction support. Have you ever heard of 3M? Video learning using IT is now commonplace, but in the days when communication conditions were still poor, learning by video using a cell phone was a story far in the future. Times have moved on, and today, learning with movies on mobiles in micro (3M) has become the standard for IT learning. Here I will discuss the changes in learning brought about by the establishment of 3M. Click here for Table of Contents 1. establishment of learning on smartphones 2. diversification of video materials 3. penetration of micro-learning 4. change of learners by 3M 5. changes in content creators brought about by 3M 6. overall changes brought about by 3M Establishment of learning on smartphones Looking around the train, there were many opportunities to see students reading vocabulary books or textbooks and studying while holding up red underlays and the like, but what about these days? Gradually, the number of such students is decreasing, and I think the percentage of students touching their smartphones is increasing. Not all students are doing so, but gradually more and more learning is taking place on smartphones. In the case of a correspondence high school with 2,000 students, 90% of the students' learning is done via smartphones, including viewing class videos, taking practice tests, and submitting reports. Diversification of Video Materials In the past, video creation was a genre that was very hard to get into. Video creation has now reached a point where it can be done by ordinary people who have not learned special editing techniques, such as youtubers. With the improvement of communication speeds, viewing videos on smartphones has become very common. What about learning? In fact, if you look at youtube, you will find a wide variety of videos, ranging from lectures on how to use Excel and mathematics to lectures on how to use maniacal 3D software. There are probably more than a few people learning and actually using software based on these videos, and this number is expected to increase in the future. Penetration of micro-learning Just as Youtube videos are 5-15 minutes long, 5-15 minute videos are becoming the standard for educational videos. Unlike traditional learning, instead of having students learn through long lectures, a very micro cycle in which explanations exist for each small step and the students actually practice those small steps is becoming the center of learning. Learner Change with 3M As education has become more mobile, video-based, and micro, learners are now able to progress through education at their own pace. Unlike the traditional lecture style, it is easier for the learners themselves to recognize where they have lost their understanding, and they are now able to ask more specific questions to the educator and communicate more specific points of clarification. However, as in the past, there are still many cases where students are forced to sit at their desks for full-scale practice, and I feel that devices need to evolve and content needs to become richer, such as pen input for taking notes during the thinking process. Changes in content creators due to 3M The need to micro-format videos rather than filming traditional classes is becoming more important to conceive of in the design phase. If a policy is clearly established on what type of video to micro-film and by what method, the span of time between filming and creation of video materials is shortened, leading to an increase in the number of contents. However, if the policy on how to break away from the traditional classroom video format is not clearly defined, microfilming does not proceed well, and the purpose of each video is not communicated to the learners, causing them to leave the course before viewing the connected chapters. It has become necessary for content creators to establish the purpose of each content at the design stage. Overall changes brought about by 3M With 3M, segmentation of learning steps is becoming the standard for future educational trends. Although segmented content may at first glance seem easier to prepare one by one, each piece of content must have a purpose. Depending on the instructional design, the video has the potential to dramatically improve the learner's level of understanding, in addition to the conventional education based on the instructor's ability to explain. On the other hand, it is not possible to simply shoot a video and be done with it, as is the case with classroom-type videos, and the content demanded by learners is also expected to become higher quality micro-materials. Our e-learning system "learningBOX" will also be developed for microlearning education! 😀 😀 Click here for reference page about 3M Source: What kind of learning method is micro-learning?

Using E-Learning to Create English Course Studies As we enter the second half of November, the cold weather seems to have increased in the past few days. Are you getting sick? I am Kitaoka 🍎, our marketing manager, and I am very strong against the cold! In my last article, I introduced the content features of learningBOX, which I recommend for learning English. I highly recommend "Memorization cards and Mushi-eating notebooks" for memorizing and reviewing vocabulary, and quizzes "Master mode and Normal mode" for understanding English grammar, listening comprehension questions, and reading comprehension questions of long sentences. In this article, we will show you how to set up a course study using our e-learning system "learningBOX". learningBOX makes it easy for anyone to start e-learning, even if you are not good at operating a computer. Please refer to the articles and videos in this article and let's create a course study together. Click here for the table of contents 1 . Creating an English course study with learningBOX 2 .

Since this is a practice, we will name the folder ➡"English Proficiency Test Sample" for clarity. Please watch the following video. Click on the Contents Management page of My Page and click the + button. Select a folder, enter a folder name, and click the Save button to create the "English Proficiency Test Sample" folder. STEP2 ▷Import downloaded materials and add materials This time, we will import the downloaded materials prepared in advance into learningBOX and add the materials. ➡Add the teaching materials to the English Proficiency Test Sample folder that you have just created! Please watch the following video. The creation and management of learningBOX materials can be set up and edited from the Content Management screen on My Page. Click on the + button. Click [Quiz/Test] -> [Upload Quiz/Test] to proceed. Enter a title name and click "Select File" to save the file. STEP3 ▷Create a course study by setting a certificate and constraint bar By setting a constraint bar, learning materials can be made into a "course study Place a constraint bar in the created learning materials, and distribute certificates to those who pass the competency test. Watch the video below. Constraint Bar You can choose from two types of constraint bars: "You can proceed to the next step after answering/viewing up to this point" and "You can proceed to the next step after passing up to this point". By setting up a restriction bar, it is possible to set up a course where only those who have cleared certain criteria and conditions can proceed to the next course. Certificate A certificate can be issued to those who have completed the course study and passed the exam. The name and issue date of each user will be automatically entered. The certificate can be set with an original background design. Notes If you have created teaching materials in Content Management, but when you look at the study screen, you find that there are no folders, you may have forgotten to set up the assignment of teaching materials! You may have forgotten to set up the assignment of teaching materials. STEP4 ▷Setting Thumbnail Images Let's set up thumbnail images to make learning materials easier to view. By setting thumbnail images, the visual impression can be greatly changed. This is highly recommended for educational materials and quizzes that are difficult to convey with textual information alone. Conclusion In this article, we have introduced how to set up a course of study based on questions at the level of English examinations. Our e-learning system (learningBOX) is designed and designed to be intuitive and easy to operate, even for first-time users. In the next article, we will show you how to register users, set up groups, limit the number of lessons, and manage content and recommended usage based on the learning environment created with learningBOX. Thank you very much for your patience with this article. We look forward to seeing you again in the next issue.

I am Nishimura and I started to create QuizGenerator in 2011. I am not able to update it, but there was a time when I was a certified SCORM Assessor, so I kind of understand SCORM. QuizGenerator is useful, but it has its limitations. QuizGenerator is a SCORM-compliant e-learning tool that allows you to create a variety of exercises, tests, and quizzes without having to worry about SCORM, but it still has its limitations. If you are a strong web programmer, you can implement SCORM relatively easily by referring to the article "Let's make SCORM materials". However, if you are a web programmer, it is relatively easy to implement SCORM. However, if you can do web design, but not programming, or if you can program a little, but learning SCORM is too much of a hassle, it may be too much of a burden for you. For those people, we recommend the SCORM Wrapper. The SCORM Wrapper makes it easy to create SCORM-compliant teaching materials. I have never heard of SCORM Wrapper. You're probably right. The name of our development code, or rather the name of our internal system, is SCORM Wrapper, but there is no mention of it in the learningBOX or on the instruction page. The reason why it is not mentioned is that the name "SCORM Wrapper" is not easy to convey to customers for marketing reasons. From a developer's point of view, the SCORM Wrapper is a tool to wrap web forms and bring SCORM APIs to life, so it is nothing more than a SCORM Wrapper. However, since we are not proposing any use beyond the questionnaire at present, it has been spoiled as a questionnaire. In any case, the questionnaire material is a SCORM Wrapper, which means that it can be used to create more than a questionnaire. What is the SCORM Wrapper? The SCORM Wrapper is, simply put, a dream tool for making web forms SCORM-compliant. Schematically, the SCORM Wrapper analyzes the contents of a web form, finds the INPUT tags, SELECT tags, TEXTAREA tags, etc., and submits the results according to the SCORM standard. Elements that the SCORM Wrapper targets for submission The SCORM Wrapper does not actually need FORM tags, although we have mentioned that the SCORM Wrapper will send the value of any of the following HTML elements, both inside and outside of a FORM, for which the name attribute is specified. input[type=text]. input[type=number] input[type=password]. input[type=date] input[type=month input[type=month]. input[type=email]. input[type=hidden]. input[type=radio]. input[type=check]. textarea select Sending grades according to the name attribute Grades are sent according to the name attribute. For example, if there is a tag , the value entered there will be sent as q1. In practice, the value of the name attribute is setValue for cmi.interactions.n.id. Behavior when a special value is entered for name If you put a special value in name, it has a special meaning. Names ending in _result If you give a name ending in _result, it will be sent as the result of the field without the _result. For example, if there is a field named "answer1" and you have a response entered there, the field named "answer1_result" will be treated as a result for answer1. The result can be set to "correct", "strong", "unanticipated", "neutral", or "decimal", and corresponds to cmi.interactions.n.result as a SCORM element. __score__. A value representing the score. in SCORM 1.2, the rule is to specify an integer from 0-100, but learningBOX also accepts values greater than 100. Decimals are not allowed. __lesson_status__. Indicates pass/fail and progress. Please set the appropriate value from the following four values. If not set, completed will be sent. incomplete: learning is in progress completed: study completed (default value) passed: passed failed: failed __duration__. Represents the training time. If this element is not present, SCORMWrapper will send the measured value. If you think the time measured by SCORMWrapper is not accurate enough, pass the elapsed time in integer seconds to __duration__. SCORMWrapper's automatic measurement is taken from the moment the material is The time from the moment the material is loaded to the moment the grades are sent is measured. If you have a start button in the material and want to measure the exact time between pressing it and answering the last question, you can implement a time measurement function and record the exact value by putting the measurement result in __duration__. __suspend_data__. This element is used to save the values at the end of the training and reuse them the next time they are loaded. In a forthcoming update, all fields will be able to retain values across sessions, but the data storage feature of __suspend_data__ and the data storage feature implemented for all fields will be exclusive. However, it is expected that the data storage function of __suspend_data__ and the data storage function to be implemented in all fields will be exclusive. Submit Button The submit button should be . id="submit" is very important. SCORMWrapper will recognize buttons with this ID as submit buttons. Example of teaching material (1) -- 50 questions of SecuManagement I made questions for the Information Security Management Examination 2009. However, please don't take this too seriously, as it was written in dirty code using jQuery about two years ago. Even though it is a dirty code, it is easy to make a SCORM-compliant 4-choice question with such a simple code. Just put the choices in the q001~q050 radios, the right/wrong in the q001_result~q050_result hidden fields, the score in the __score__, the pass/fail in the __lesson_status__, and the rest is SCORM Wrapper will send the data according to the SCORM standard. The correct answer data is in lines 30 to 34, and the choices are in lines 15 to 18, but the number of items can be increased or decreased, and the choices can be changed to 1, 2, or 3. It should work fine if you increase or decrease the number of items, or change the choices to 1, 2, 3, etc. You may also create other subjects in this way and use them in your company! (If there are many requests, we will make it easy to create them within learningBOX! (Personally, I would like to make an improved version of this, so I would be happy to receive feedback on how I can easily create teaching materials similar to this) Code (available on Gist) Learning Screen The learning screen is as follows. Each radio button is assigned a name from q001 to q004, and the values a, b, c, and e are set to a, b, c, and e, respectively. When the submit button is pressed, the submit() function is called to perform the grading, and then the grades are sent. Result Display Screen The result display screen looks like the following. Pass/fail and score are passed using the __lesson_status__ and __score__ fields, respectively. The time required was sent automatically by SCORMWrapper. For each question, how it was answered and the correct or incorrect answer are also recorded. Example of use in learningBOX Three types of learningBOX materials, questionnaires, web pages, and bug-eating, are actually built on top of SCORMWrapper. Questionnaire This is the use that SCORMWrapper has been envisioned for from the beginning: With SCORMWrapper, you can easily create questionnaires. Certainly, it is easier than implementing SCORM yourself. But we couldn't easily get to the point where it was easy for everyone, so we developed the survey creation form as a function to create a web form. By the way, when you download the questionnaire you created within learningBOX, a ZIP file will fall out, which contains two files: form.html and config.json. The former is the survey form itself, and the latter is metadata representing the structure of the survey form. With the latter data, the downloaded questionnaire can be re-edited on learningBOX even after it has been re-uploaded. Conversely, if config.json is removed, learningBOX will not edit form.html. If you want to rewrite form.html to make it look better, we recommend uploading it without config.json. Web page Web page type materials are implemented on SCORMWrapper. SCORMWrapper functions are used for sending study time and lesson_status. Worm-eaten notebooks Worm-eaten notebooks are also implemented on top of SCORMWrapper. SCORMWrapper is used to send study_time and lesson_status. This is where Mr. M implemented the SCORMWrapper, but in writing this article, I checked the implementation for the first time. How to use the SCORM Wrapper Currently, LearningBOX does not have a teaching material item called SCORM Wrapper. If you have carefully read the text so far, you may have noticed that you can use the SCORM Wrapper by uploading it as a survey material. Click on the following link to open the ZIP file and upload the sg.html file as the survey material! Secumane's past survey materials: sg.zip Upload Location Summary I have written about the SCORM Wrapper and its potential is great. On the other hand, it cannot be said that the SCORM Wrapper has been fully utilized because we have not communicated enough about it or proposed enough applications for it. We hope that this article has given you a sense of what the SCORM Wrapper is and what it can be used for. To summarize in one line... SCORMWrapper is a system that allows you to create SCORM educational materials just by writing web forms.

What is an e-Portfolio? Nice to meet you, blog readers! I'm Tanimoto from Development! I'm Tanimoto, a developer 👟I'm sorry to interrupt, but have you ever heard of "e-Portfolio"? When you hear the word "portfolio", you may think "it is used in the world of investment and finance" or "it is a kind of summary of designs I have created", I think what comes to mind when you hear the word "portfolio" is different for each person. After reading this article, you may feel like you know what an e-Portfolio is! So let's take a look at ePortfolio together! Click here for the Table of Contents 1 . What is a portfolio? 2 . e-Portfolio 3 . What are the advantages of using an ePortfolio? 4 . Conclusion What is a portfolio? According to Oxford Learner's Dictionaries, "a thin flat case used for carrying documents, drawings, etc." meaning a case for carrying papers, etc. Quoted from Oxford Learner's Dictionaries Originally used as a paper holder, it came to mean a person's past works or a collection of works in the field of design when painters and other artists started using it to carry their own works. In the field of finance, the term "portfolio" came to be used because in the past, securities were often kept in a pair of scissors. And in the field of education 　Portfolio evaluation methods are also a type of performance evaluation, but the term "portfolio" originally referred to the scissors, or files or scrapbooks, that painters, architects, newspaper reporters, and other professionals use to market themselves to their employers. For example, a painter would bind his masterpieces, leaflets of his solo exhibitions, and reviews in newspapers. The artist's ability and style, as well as his/her social reputation, can be seen at a glance. 　In the portfolio evaluation method, learners (students and pupils) systematically accumulate their own works, records of self-evaluations, and records of teacher instruction and evaluations, which are edited from time to time and discussed using the portfolio. In this way, learners are encouraged to self-evaluate their own learning, and teachers are encouraged to evaluate their own learning activities and their own teaching activities. (Source: Minutes of the 7th Meeting of the Special Committee on High School-University Connection, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) states that Now that you have seen portfolios used in three different fields, you may have a better idea of what a portfolio is. Now let's take a look at the e-Portfolio, the subject of this issue! e-portfolio Finally, let's talk about the main topic, e-portfolio. In Japan, e-portfolio is used by the Japan Educational Information Management Organization (JEMO), which is authorized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) to operate "JAPAN e-Portfolio". There, you can Students can record the results of their school classes, events, club activities, qualifications and certificates they have obtained, and activities outside of school during their high school life, reflect on their learning and achievements in the future, and use the accumulated "learning data" for applications to individual universities. Reference: What is "JAPAN e-Portfolio"? It is said to be a system that This means that the type of learning a person has engaged in, school events, club activities, and other learning, as well as qualifications and certifications obtained by the person himself/herself, are stored as data and utilized. JAPAN e-Portfolio" aims to utilize the accumulated data for university entrance examinations. For more information on which universities support this program, please click here. In other words, e-portfolio is about using the Internet to store portfolio data. Why use the Internet to store data? Because there are advantages to using the Internet. Next, we will look at the advantages of managing your portfolio over the Internet! What are the advantages of using e-Portfolio? Let's take a look at the advantages of using an e-Portfolio. Advantage 1・Reduction of cost and space Advantage 2: Access to portfolios regardless of time or location Advantage 3・Availability of data (for use in university admissions and by teachers) Regarding Merit 1, reducing costs and space, storing student grades on paper requires space for storing paper and the cost of the paper itself. By storing them as data, it is possible to reduce space and paper costs. The second advantage, access to portfolios regardless of time or location, is also related to the first advantage. If the results are stored in paper form, the user must either go to the location where the paper is located or have it sent to them. When the data is stored as data, students can look back at their own data, and teachers can look at the data of their students at any time and place. Advantage 3, the availability of data (e.g., for use in university entrance examinations), can be used with the JAPAN e-Portfolio service, which is used for university entrance examinations. In this way, a person's grades and achievements can be utilized by taking advantage of the property of being accessible regardless of location, as described in Merit 2. Conclusion How was your experience? If you have read this far, you may now have a clearer picture of e-Portfolio. We believe that e-portfolios will be used more and more in the future. We, as a provider of LearningBOX, a Learning Management System (LMS), are not to be outdone! We will continue to develop this system to your satisfaction, and we look forward to working with you in the future!

GeoGebra," a math learning support tool Now, I have explained how to study mathematics using learningBOX, but when I look back on my own study of mathematics, the content of study became much more difficult as the grades increased, and it became more complicated to visualize 'complex expressions and functions, algebra, geometry, calculus, etc.'. I often sighed to myself, "If only the equations in these problems could be expressed in graphs and figures, I would understand them better." I often sighed. But nowadays? However, nowadays, there are convenient apps for math teaching materials! What's more, you can visualize it! Furthermore, the data you create can be used to create questions for learningBOX. You can easily create graphs using this tool. This application is a learning support application for mathematics covering all fields of mathematics from junior high school to university. It is free to use for educational and learning purposes. It is useful for creating teaching materials and problems for classes, and it will also help students to better understand what they are learning. Graphics views created with Geogebra can be exported in png/pdf/eps/svg/emf format via the "Export Images" menu. In this case, I exported in png format. The curves did not become blurry or jagged even when the image size was scaled up or down. You can also export videos as GIF animations. This is very useful for graphing tools. If you are interested, please check here. Conclusion In this article, we introduced how to create questions and how to use learningBOX to improve your math grade. learningBOX is an e-learning system that allows those who do not know how to program or operate a computer to start learning. LearningBOX is a tool that allows even those who do not know how to program or are not good at using computers to start e-learning. There are many more content features that we could not introduce in this article. The "Mushi-Eating Notebook," which specializes in memorization, is also a very useful feature.

What are the advantages of implementing e-learning for corporate training? The day before yesterday was Tanabata. What wishes did you write on your tanzaku strips? I asked, "May this be a year with few natural disasters. It will be Obon in a little while. I am Kitaoka🍎, in charge of marketing, and plan to return to my hometown for the Bon Festival. Well then! In this issue, I would like to talk about the advantages of implementing e-learning learning for in-house training. Thank you very much for your cooperation in this article. Background of e-Learning Attention E-learning is a learning system that uses the Internet. Currently, e-learning is used in various fields, such as skill/career improvement, hobby learning, understanding of business content, and sharing of ideas, and is used not only for personal use but also as learning materials for in-house training. In the late 1990s, when personal computers began to spread around the world, e-learning spread quickly, and in the 2000s, with the promotion of the E-Japan concept by the Japanese government, e-learning became even more widely recognized in Japan. In this article, we would like to explain the prevalence of e-learning in Japan and how it is used in the business scene in today's environment where it is easy to create e-learning programs. Table of Contents 1. the spread of e-learning 2. e-Learning in Business 3. e-Learning Continues to Grow in Business Applications 4. advantages of e-learning for corporate training 5. summary The Spread of E-Learning The history of e-Learning dates back to the 1990s. At that time, PCs were something special, used only by a few users, such as those who needed them for work or research, or those who were computer-savvy. However, with the development of information technology and the spread of networks, prices dropped dramatically, and the environment shifted to one in which anyone could easily participate. As a result, there has been a great deal of anticipation and interest in e-learning, which can be done "anytime," "anywhere," and "easily. The high affinity between learning and training content that should be conducted spontaneously and continuously and learning methods using electronic devices such as PCs, smartphones, and tablets has become clear, and this has led to widespread attention and use in a variety of fields. E-learning in the business world Unlike conventional correspondence courses, which are conducted by mail, e-learning allows students to learn on their own initiative, and to prepare and review as many times as they wish according to their own learning status. e-learning e-learning system enables us to educate a large number of learners at once, thereby significantly reducing the burden on teachers, personnel costs, and other educational costs. Managers, companies, and human resource managers, who were attracted to the e-learning system's ability to provide equal learning opportunities and to reduce labor costs, began actively adopting e-learning as a new learning format to replace group training (group education). E-Learning Continues to Increase in Business Applications When Internet-based e-learning first began to be used in business, most companies installed a learning management system (LMS) for e-learning on their own servers and had a system administrator manage the system (on-premise type). However, because of the product knowledge and advanced management skills required to use and maintain the system, it was a significant burden for companies, and was used only by large companies that could secure personnel with strong system management skills and could expect high implementation effectiveness. However, this situation has changed dramatically with the increase in the amount of data that can be sent and received over network lines. Instead of storing the system and data on a server within the company, a so-called cloud-based learning management system has emerged, in which the company that developed the e-learning learning management system acts as the management company, using a shared server for system updates and data management. This has greatly lowered the hurdles for introducing e-learning in small and medium-sized companies. Advantages of e-Learning for Corporate Training The introduction of e-Learning can significantly change the learning environment within a company. By taking full advantage of the functions of the e-learning learning system, both the employees (learners) and the company (provider) can realize many benefits. Let's take a look at the benefits for the learner In order to create and maintain a learning environment where employees want to learn, providers need to understand the benefits e-learning offers to the learner. e-learning offers the following benefits to the learner ▼ The ability to learn at their own convenience. To conduct a regular training course, detailed arrangements are made for the date, time, and location of the training, as it requires the preparation of instructors and a training location. However, employees who are too busy with their day-to-day work to coordinate their work with training dates and times cannot easily apply for training if they want to check their understanding of the content of their work or further improve their skills. E-learning, on the other hand, allows employees to learn at their own pace in the little time they have between tasks or during their leisure time. The ability to learn "anytime" and "anywhere" is the greatest advantage that e-learning offers to learners. Can be used as a business manual E-learning is not only good for reviewing and improving skills. By organizing various information and know-how related to work in an easy-to-understand manner and publishing it as data that can be freely accessed by any employee, it is possible for employees to solve questions and issues that arise in their work or study by themselves. In addition, by sharing problems that cannot be solved by individual efforts alone through information exchange tools such as bulletin boards and chat rooms, employees can grasp clues to solving problems and gain cooperation in solving them. ▼ Easily evaluate training Self-analysis is essential in order to link learning to growth. However, evaluating one's own learning requires a certain amount of preparation and procedure, making it difficult to continue, and the time and effort involved often leads to frustration and frustration in mid-stream. However, with an e-learning system that can record learning history, it is possible to visualize learning results and progress in graphs and numerical values, greatly reducing the burden of self-assessment of learning content. By understanding one's strengths and weaknesses correctly, rather than simply checking the progress of drill and quiz scores, learning efficiency will greatly increase, and the motivation of learners who have realized the benefits of learning will be further heightened. ▼ Eliminate concerns and worries about work Because there are few opportunities to receive personal guidance and advice from instructors during group training, reluctant participants may not be able to properly assess their own level of learning and achievement, and may return to their work without resolving questions that arose during the course of training. However, in such a situation, they may not be able to confidently start their work, which may lead to a decrease in work efficiency and loss of confidence. In contrast, e-learning makes it easy to provide individualized care, so learners can feel free to ask any questions they may have. Appropriate feedback provided by an instructor who fully understands the importance of the feedback increases the learner's sense of security and confidence in their understanding, which in turn improves their motivation to learn and the quality of their work. Conclusion This paper has briefly discussed the background to the growing interest in e-learning for corporate training and the benefits of e-learning for corporate training. e-learning's catchphrase "anytime, anyone, easy" is likely to become a catchphrase that will be increasingly needed in the future. It is likely to become a useful new hint for learning, education, and teaching methods that have been difficult to implement with concrete measures due to the expansion of the gateway to learning. We will follow the development, activities, and trends of e-learning learning from time to time and report back to you again. Thank you very much for your interest.

E-learning for easy in-house compliance training Nice to meet you! This is my first appearance on the blog, and I am Shiraki, a human resources manager. I am greatly shocked by the appearance of slugs in several places in my home and their invasion into the house, probably due to the recent rainy season.... I hope the rainy season ends soon! Now please enjoy the body of this blog. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. do you have any of these problems? 2. easy compliance training with e-learning 3. easy to check who has received training 4. summary Are you in charge of "Human Resources and Training" and have any of the following problems? We would like to conduct compliance training that is difficult in content in a simple way other than by giving lectures. We do not know who has or has not taken the training, or the attendance history of our employees. In this article, I would like to tell you how to solve the above problems. I was one of the people who were suffering from this problem as I am writing this article, and I hope to reduce the number of people with this problem by even one person. E-learning for easy compliance training How can we easily conduct compliance training that is difficult in content?" We believe that there are many people who wonder about this question. In fact, some companies may invite lecturers for compliance training or have their employees attend compliance seminars. Our e-learning system, learningBOX, allows you to register teaching materials in a variety of formats, including "PDF teaching materials" and "video teaching materials. ▼ (Although unrelated to compliance,) videos and PDFs can be viewed as follows. LearningBOX can also register "ispring materials," one of the e-learning materials, although they are a little more challenging. The "ispring materials" can be used to conduct simulations as if they were games, and audio can be added to the materials, so that training can be conducted just like a seminar. In this way, e-learning makes it easy to conduct compliance training with difficult content. Easy confirmation of who has received the training When you see the title, many of you may think, "Is this really possible?" I am sure there are many people who think "If it is so easy to do, I have already done it. Even I thought, "If it were that easy, I would have done it already. One of the functions of our e-learning system, learningBOX, is the "grade management function". This function allows you to check whether or not a trainee has taken the training course, and it also displays the time required to take the course, making it easier to know whether or not a trainee has taken the course and whether or not he or she has skipped a step. Since learningBOX has such convenient functions, we hope that those in charge of education will take this opportunity to consider the introduction of e-learning for their in-house training! Conclusion The content of compliance training may vary from company to company. While there are of course methods such as "seminars and inviting lecturers," e-learning can be a great way to learn more about compliance. "Company's original compliance training" "Company can confirm whether employees have taken the training" "You can confirm whether or not your employees have taken the course." and so on. There are various advantages. We hope that this will be an opportunity for you to review your own training programs and new employee training programs. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this report.
