Cause of slow transition to e-learning implementation despite its advantages
In recent days, ed tech is a growing field in Japan to reform paper-based education to the online one. However, the transition is far from the rapid. However, the transition is far from the rapid. the traditional paper form is still the primary use for most of the education field despite the fact of the rapid growth of the IT technology.
There are tons of pros about the use of online learning for the education industry such as reduction of cost, storage, physical demand as well as However, even if they have PCs in their school or working station, the educational department manager or teacher chooses to use the paper form. However, even if they have PCs in their school or working station, the educational department manager or teacher chooses to use the paper form as the first choice due to lack of technical knowledge for operation, expensive first installation cost and setting difficulty.
In the long run, switching to e-learning is way more advantageous not only for users but also for administrators and managers. There are numerous benefits for online learning such as accessibility, cost-effectiveness, secure, smart and scalability than paper form. There are numerous benefits for online learning such as accessibility, cost-effectiveness, secure, smart, and scalability than paper form.
Advantages of e-learning and downside of paper-based learning 1.
Online learning is enabling users to access anywhere and anytime.
You need your students or employees physically being located at a particular venue at a particular time.
You need your students or employees physically being located at a particular venue at a particular time. it is quite inconvenient for most people since it costs extra time and effort to commute to the location.
You require your personal laptop with wifi access and access the content anywhere and anytime you would like. Moreover, unlike physical lecture or class, you can pause, resume, repeat, subtitles and control the speed of content which is impossible to do by paper form. 2. cost-effective
2. cost-effective
Printing cost seems to be cheap but it is not in reality.
For instance, let`s assume you are a teacher who has 40 students in your classroom does a one-page long mini test per-week aside from a two-page length mid-term and end semester examination for one year. The cost of paper is 5 yen and you are printing always one sided with no color that costs approx. 10400 yen per year. It seems to be cheap, However, we need to consider, it does not include the cost of the printer, the storage, and the other stationary cost as well as replacement for loss/damage.
Moreover, you cannot forget the labor cost is huge because they require a lot of time to carry the paper and to file documents correctly or sometimes they That causes another extra cost for the company or school. Eventually, It easily costs more than we are imagined. Eventually, It easily costs more than we imagined.
Eventually, It easily costs more than we are imagined. online-learning does not require any of the above which is the profound cost reduction for the company or school. 3.
Easy to manage user data or to monitor the user access
Another instance is monitoring user activity and data.
You cannot monitor their activity and user data instantly with the paper form. You need to get around the venue from start to end repeatedly to monitor their activity. You need to get around the venue from start to end repeatedly to monitor their activity.
You need to search and gather a number of files in order to see the individual data if the user data is filed You need to search and gather a number of files in order to see the individual data if the user data is filed.
Online learning stores the data to the Cloud or online data storage and easy to monitor the activity by accessing logs and managing the user data. There is no need to hustle for unnecessary piles of the paper document anymore. 4.
Flexible setting for learning contents
Otherwise, you need to insert the image manually or drawing a diagram by hand. Even you solve those issues, you cannot insert any video or audio format into the question. You need other devices with you that cost physically and financially. Most of the time, Students or trainees require visual and graphical ques for more understanding.
Online learning can give users more flexibility to study material content. 5.
5. high security
Maybe most of the people consider the paper as the most secure method. However, it is not the case since there is no password you can set on the paper. Therefore, no one knows who is accessing the document. Additionally, what if the paper with user data is lost while transporting the document. It is far from secure but online learning you can set the password and restrict the access right for the user under the user. It is far from secure but online learning you can set the password and restrict the access right for the user under your monitor.
3.learnigBOX as a solution for e-learning system disadvantages
Until now, I mentioned the benefit of switching to the online learning system from the paper form.
Despite the outstanding benefit of online learning, there is some downside of it that are the initial installation cost, the need for technical knowledge and set-up difficulty.
Despite the outstanding benefit of online learning, there is some downside of it that are the initial installation cost, the need for technical knowledge and set-up difficulty. Most of the online learning system is too expensive for most of the small-medium size enterprises where are under a tight budget for their employee training or teaching for their students, as well as they are lacking technical knowledge makes them hesitate to implement the online learning system. Moreover, set-up difficulty seems to be one of the biggest obstacles to online learning implementation.
As a solution, our service learningBOX has been developed which only costs 3000 yen with 100 user account per year with simple UI operation such as drag and As a solution, our service learningBOX has been developed which only costs 3000 yen with 100 user account per year with simple UI operation such as drag and drop of the file in the quiz creation-form with no requirement for programming experience or computer proficiency.

1. background of lack of e-learning adoption
Although demand for e-learning has been growing at an accelerating pace in Japan recently, the demand for traditional paper-based learning remains high and the education industry is hesitant to make the transition.
However, the introduction of online learning offers overwhelming advantages in terms of access, cost, security, efficiency and scalability.
Paper-based learning, on the other hand, has many disadvantages in terms of cost, storage, physical demand, and inflexibility of content.
However, even when PCs are available in the school or work area, education department administrators or teachers tend to opt for paper-based systems. The technical knowledge required to implement an online learning system, the expensive initial investment, and the complexity of the initial setup are often the main obstacles, leading to a shortsighted choice of paper-based learning.
In the medium to long term, however, switching to e-learning is highly beneficial for both users and administrators.
Advantages of e-Learning from the Administrator's Perspective
1. online learning does not require the expense of paper, printers, storage, etc.
Printing costs may seem low, but in reality, more costs are incurred.
For example, suppose you are a teacher of 40 students. You print one quiz per week on one side of the paper, plus a midterm and a final exam (two copies of each). Assuming that the cost of paper is 5 yen, the cost would be (5 yen x 48 times + 5 yen x 2 times x 2 sheets) x 40 students = approximately 10400 yen per year. This may seem inexpensive, but it does not include the cost of a backup in case of printing errors or loss, the cost of a printer, and the cost of securing a storage space.
In addition, we cannot forget the huge labor costs. It takes a lot of time to transport paper and organize documents, and sometimes mistakes need to be reworked. This results in new costs, and costs can easily be higher than expected.
E-learning, on the other hand, can reduce the cost of printing, storage of materials, and labor costs all at once.
2. difficulty in monitoring and managing user data activity
Another advantage is user activity monitoring and data management.
You cannot instantly monitor user activity on paper. You have to walk around the venue repeatedly from start to finish to visually verify the activity. Is that ideal for monitoring data? The answer is probably "no."
Also, managing user data is cumbersome. To see an individual's data, you need to open a number of files. If user data is organized incorrectly, just finding it can be a challenge.
With online learning, you simply save the data you create in a designated file. This easily reduces paper-based hassles.
3. flexibility of content
With paper media, data entry is only possible in a basic two-dimensional plane. Otherwise, you must manually insert images or draw diagrams yourself.
Even if you solve those problems, you cannot insert video or audio formats on paper.
On the other hand, students and trainees need visual and graphical information to enhance their understanding. Online learning allows you to create more flexible and accurate information for your teaching materials and tests.
4. high security
Most people think paper is the most secure method, but it is not.
Because there is no password on the paper, you do not know who is accessing the document.
Furthermore, what happens if the paper containing the user data is lost during document transport? We can only hope that someone picks it up and takes it to the lost and found section of the facility.
Online learning allows you to set passwords and restrict user access. This eliminates the security issues that arise with paper media all together.
3. obstacles to e-learning implementation and benefits of implementing learningBOX
We have discussed the advantages of online learning systems.
Despite the advantages of online learning, why has its adoption been slow?
We believe it is because of the initial investment costs, the need for technical knowledge, and the complexity of the setup.
Most SMEs are hesitant to implement online learning not only because of limited budgets for employee training and student education, but also because of a lack of technical knowledge.
Furthermore, the difficulty of getting to operations is one of the biggest obstacles to implementing online learning.
As a solution, the e-learning system learningBOX requires no programming experience, and questions can be created simply by entering text in the quiz creation form. The cost is also low, at ¥30,000 per year for 100 user accounts.
No other e-learning system is this affordable, simpler, and more functional. Please give it a try.
