In this section, we will introduce the use of e-learning for job offer follow-up along with the actual learningBOX screen. Learning Management Functions This is the learning management function, the main function of the LMS. We have already introduced many of these functions on this site. We recommend that training materials that do not require group training or paper-based learning materials, which can be web-based, be distributed as e-learning materials to employees. This will allow managers to check learning progress and other information before the new employee joins the company, such as where they are stumbling. This allows the manager to check the learning progress before the new employee joins the company. Learn more about content management Notice Management Notice Management can be used like a bulletin board for posting information that you want to keep informed, so you can inform inform informants of communications and company information that you need to convey to them. It can also be used as a tool to inform people when new study materials are distributed. Since e-mail notifications can also be sent out, there is no need to create a separate e-mail for everyone. ➡ Learn more about Notification Management News Management Message Box Message boxes are ideal when you want to develop communication with a large number of people, like an online bulletin board or chat. For example, you may receive a question about a particular training or study and want to respond on the spot. You can share information with the people involved in real time and keep a history of it. It is recommended for cases where it is not necessary to gather in the same place to conduct the training, but it is necessary to communicate and talk about the training. ➡ Learn more about the message box Contact us by email This may seem like a basic function, but we recommend using it in combination with grade management. For example, if you would like to send an e-mail to all the members who have not yet taken a class, you can send an e-mail to all the members who have not yet taken the class. ➡ See more details about the function to send a targeted email from the grade management screen.

How to Use E-Learning for Successful Employee Training and Education? Newcomer Training (Part 1) Hello! I'm Motoki from Marketing. With April approaching soon, the fiscal year is about to change, and I am sure that many companies are conducting their internal training for new employees right now. This time, I would like to talk about how to succeed in employee education and training through e-learning. I would like to focus on [training for new employees]. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. you want to make your employee education/training effective, right? 2. this time, we would like to focus on [new employee training]. 3. job offers are looking for a connection with the company. 4. summary We want to make employee training and education effective. Dear trainers and educators! When conducting employee education and corporate training, of course you want to make sure it is effective. If you have never used e-learning for training, or if you have used e-learning but are not sure whether it is effective or not, we would like to recommend a way to use e-learning for training. If you have never implemented e-learning in your training program, or if you have implemented e-learning but are not sure whether it is effective or not, we would like to recommend the following methods to you. This time, we will focus on "training for new employees. This time, we will focus on "training for new employees". In particular, we will be discussing the "internal training" for new employees before they join the company. Does your company provide any training for new employees, whether new graduates or mid-career hires? E-learning is a very suitable training tool for internal training. What are the reasons? Let's take a look! The offeror is looking for a connection with the company. This is why e-learning is a very good training tool for job offer training. To get some background, let's take a quick look at this data. This graph shows the frequency of contact with the company to which the students wish to make an unofficial job offer. When "about once a month" (47.7%) and "about once every two months" (39.9%) are combined, more than 80% of the students wish to have contact with the company once every one to two months. In other words, it is clear that they want a regular connection with the company. This result suggests that the job offer recipients are very anxious until they join the company, wondering if they will be able to work properly at the company, if they will fit in well, and if they will be able to learn the job well. In fact, there is a way to resolve this anxiety. It is simply "information" and "communication"! Job applicants want "information". Job applicants want to know what they will be doing after joining a company, what knowledge they will need to do their job, etc. They want "information". They want "communication. By communicating with them, you can help them feel more secure and less anxious about joining your company. (Excessive communication and some means of communication can be counterproductive.) So how do you provide this "information" and "communication"? By phone? Group training? No, e-learning! Successful pre-employment internal training using eLearning. We recommend that you use e-Learning to provide "information" and "communication" for the follow-up of job offers. Use e-Learning for your pre-employment internal training. For new graduates, use e-learning to provide training on manners and basic knowledge as a member of society and office automation training such as typing, etc. For mid-career hires, use e-learning to provide training to acquire basic knowledge about the industry and knowledge at a practical level. Use e-learning to communicate. By utilizing one of the LMS functions, such as the notification function or the survey function, you can communicate naturally and effectively. The LMS also makes it possible to provide internal information (such as self-introduction sheets by senior employees) that cannot be sent out through a website. There are many other advantages. Compared to group training, e-learning does not require everyone to meet in person. This is especially effective when there are offices throughout Japan. (Advantages for the company) With group training, you are bound to a specific date and time for a long period of time, but with e-learning, you can train at any time you want. (Advantage on the part of the employees) E-learning allows for smooth implementation of training after the employee joins the company. Conclusion We hope you now understand the advantages of using e-learning to provide "information" and "communication" for follow-up of job offers. By using e-learning, you can provide a natural opportunity to connect the company with job offer recipients, thereby relieving their anxiety prior to joining the company. It also allows them to get off to a confident start after they join the company. The same can be said for both new graduates and mid-career hires. Please use e-learning to make your employee education and training a success! In the next issue, we will show you how to actually use the e-learning system learninBOX for "information" and "communication. We look forward to seeing you next time!

Hello, this is Kadota from the Development Department. I thought it was the year 2020, but it turned out to be February in the blink of an eye. We are in the middle of winter! Let's eat something warm and keep up the good work against the cold! The theme of this blog is about "updates and upgrades". Best regards. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. what is an update in the first place? 2. what is a version update? 3. what is the difference between major and minor updates? 4. when will learningBOX be updated next? 5. summary What is an update in the first place? Have you ever been using a computer or smartphone when a comment such as "Update is ready" or "Please update" suddenly appears and you wonder "What is it? Have you ever wondered what it is? If you use a lot of apps on your smartphone, something might be updated every day. In general, an update is a minor improvement or bug fix for a service (app or software). For example, a bug is fixed, a new antivirus is added, or a new feature is added. What is a version update? A version up, on the other hand, is a major improvement or update, such as the addition of new features or a change in design or usage. Let's consider Windows 7 as an example For example, Windows 7 support has recently ended. For the past year or so, I have often heard people say that they would like to migrate to Windows 10 because the support for Windows 7 is about to expire. If you have migrated from Windows 7 to Windows 10, it is an upgrade. Windows 7 and Windows 10 are very different even if they are the same Windows. For example, "the Start menu has changed," "startup is faster," "security has been enhanced," and "Microsoft Edge" has been installed. It is like a completely new and different product. I think it would be good to think of this kind of major improvement/update as an "upgrade. Incidentally, the term "version up" is not understood by English-speaking people, as it seems to be a Japanese word. If you want to express the same meaning in English, it is "version upgrade" (or just "upgrade"). （Some people may be more familiar with "upgrade" than "version up" (or just "upgrade"). The difference between major and minor updates Updates are sometimes referred to as "major updates" or "minor updates," while version upgrades are sometimes referred to as "major version upgrades" or "minor version upgrades. Which term is used depends on the company releasing the service and the detailed nuances. Basically, it is safe to say that if it is labeled major, it is a major change, and if it is labeled minor, it is a minor change. Here are the POINT Major → major change Minor → small change When is the next update for learningBOX? We call updates that involve the addition of new features "major updates" and updates that mainly fix bugs "minor updates. As of this writing, the latest version is "2.8.18. The version of minor updates is managed by the number "18" on the right side of "2. 8. 18". We release a new version approximately once a week. So the next "2.8.19" will be released in the near future. What about "major updates"? Major updates are released at a pace of 3 to 4 months. The next "2.9" series will be released soon. Announcement We would like to introduce some of the features that will be included in the "2.9" series. By linking learningBOX and LDAP servers, it will be possible to link account information and perform login authentication. LDAP authentication requires a subscription to a dedicated server plan. →Please click here for details on pricing plans and LDAP authentication integration. Summary Do you understand the meaning of the terms "update" and "version up" that you have been using somehow? When learningBOX is updated or upgraded in the future, please check what has changed. It may be difficult to notice if it is an update. In that case, please check the release notes. And although learningBOX is currently in version 2, version 3 will be released one day. If you have any requests for features like this, please feel free to contact us.

About China's EdTech Market This winter has been mild. How is everyone doing? As a quick reminder, we have looked into the EdTech market in China. Click here for the table of contents 1. China's EdTech market is hot. 2. list of unicorn companies in China's EdTech sector 3. why is the EdTech market growing so fast in China? 4. the future of the EdTech market China's EdTech market is hot. What is EdTech? China's EdTech market is currently very active. EdTech is a term coined by combining the words "education" and "technology," and refers to efforts to bring about innovation by incorporating technology into the field of education. The term X-Tech (cross tech) refers to the incorporation of technology into existing industries to create new value, and EdTech is an example of X-Tech. X-Tech includes FinTech (finance), MedTech (healthcare), AdTech (advertising), HRTech (human resources), AgriTech (agriculture), LegalTech (law), and many other fields. Many of these unicorn companies originated in China! To give you an idea of how much momentum there is in the Chinese EdTech market, 8 of the 14 unicorn companies in the global EdTech sector are from China (about 57%). The others are 5 companies from the U.S. and 1 from India. *See: Holon IQ January 6, 2020 Unicorn companies are defined as venture companies with a company valuation of $1 billion (about 125 billion yen) or more, less than 10 years old, and privately held. In other words, 8 of the 14 companies are Chinese companies, a number that can be considered one indicator of growth areas. List of Unicorn Companies in China's EdTech Sector The following is a list of unicorn companies in the EdTech sector in China (as of January 2020). VIPKid Online English conversation classroom service with teachers in North America 猿辅导 Yuanfudao Online tutoring and math and English services for children 小盒科技 Knowbox Online education using AI teachers iTutorGroup Online English conversation classroom service with teachers in North America Zhangmen One-on-one tutoring Huike Industry-University Cooperation Ichiqisaku 17zuoye Online Education Platform for K-12 *K-12 means kindergarten through 12th grade (3rd grade of high school) k=kindergarten HuJiang HuJiang Language-centric online classes, SNS, community Why is the EdTech market growing so fast in China? If you look at the number of unicorn companies worldwide, not just in the EdTech sector, according to CBinsights (as of January 6, 2020), there are 433, of which 214 are in the US, 101 in China, 22 in the UK, and 19 in India. Japan has 3 companies. The number of Chinese unicorn companies in all sectors is about 23% of the global total, while the percentage in the EdTech sector is about 57%, indicating that the EdTech sector in China is growing much faster than in other sectors. Why is the EdTech market growing so fast in China? The reasons include the following. Cultural background in which education is highly valued Education is highly competitive, and education is considered very important to stay ahead of the competition. On average, families with preschoolers spend 26% of their household income on education and 20% of their income on K-12 children. *Reference pdf document: The Value of Education-Higher and higher - HSBC Group Huge Market Approximately 20% of the world's population lives in China, and according to the Chinese government (January 17, 2020), the population will exceed 1.4 billion by the end of 2019. In addition, the one-child policy, which has been in place for about 35 years, has been relaxed since 2016, increasing the factors for client expansion. (Currently, the number of births is at an all-time low and has been declining for three consecutive years, and the birthrate is declining and aging. The population is growing.) Also, there is an increase in the number of middle class people who are able to finance their education. Widespread recognition of EdTech There seems to be a strong common perception in Japan, including among VC [venture capitalists], that EdTech has a large market. Strong Government Support Almost every year since 2011, the Chinese government has increased its share of GDP spending on education. It has also provided much support, including building a 22-story MOOC Times building dedicated to EdTech in Beijing's Zhongguancun; in 2017, Premier Li Keqiang set out a technology-infused Chinese education reform for 2030. Soil to foster developers There is also the influence of creative education, which increases the number of makers, and the presence of young people known as "sea turtles," who have acquired cutting-edge knowledge and skills abroad and returned to China to play an active role in the country. These are just a few of the many factors that may be contributing to this trend. Future EdTech Market What do you think? We have talked about the Chinese EdTech market, and we hope that you have been able to see that the market is expanding rapidly. And it seems that the Chinese EdTech market will continue to develop rapidly in the future. I think that the system, which has a cultural background and also has support as a national policy, is the driving force behind the creation of new educational services. Not only in China, but also in other countries that are focusing on the e-learning and EdTech fields, there will be more and more countries in the future. We will do our best to help Japan become a leading EdTech country. Thank you for your continued support of learningBOX! *Reference sites: Beyond: Why Is China's EdTech So Exciting?

Single sign-on using SAML authentication for learningBOX This section explains the concept and benefits of SAML authentication, one of the authentication settings, as well as how the SAML authentication method works in learningBOX. Click here for Table of Contents What is SAML Authentication? 2. benefits of implementing single sign-on with SAML authentication 3. single sign-on with SAML authentication in learningBOX What is SAML Authentication? SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an XML-based international standard authentication method for authenticating users across different domains of the Internet and is a protocol for single sign-on (SSO). In SAML, each application or service that attempts to authenticate is called a Service Provider. The service provider redirects the authentication request to the Identity Provider (IdP) for authentication, which then notifies the user (browser) of the redirection to the SP. When the user accesses the redirection, authentication is complete. Because it only passes authentication information, it is used in IDaaS products (Identity as a Service: cloud-based ID and password management tools) and single sign-on tools. It is mainly used for single sign-on for cloud services. What is Single Sign-On (SSO)? Single Sign-On (hereafter referred to as SSO) is a mechanism that allows users to log in to multiple services simultaneously by simply logging in with a single ID and password. As the number of convenient applications and systems used by organizations increases, the demand for SSO is also increasing. SAML Terms -Know this much! -SAML The two main components of SAML are IdP (Identity Provider): The party that provides authentication information SP (Service Provider): The party that uses authentication information (joint web application) SAML consists of two components: Identity Provider (IdP) and Service Provider (SP). if the SP that provides the web service supports SAML, SSO can be realized by using the authentication information provided by the IdP. AuthnRequest: An authorization request issued when an SP requests authentication from an IdP. SAMLResponse: An authorization response that includes authentication information in response to an authorization request. What is the latest version of SAML? SAML was formulated in 2002. The current latest version is version 2.0, which was developed in 2005. Click here for the technical overview ➡Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) V2.0 Technical Overview - OASIS Advantages of Introducing Single Sign-on with SAML Authentication In addition to SAML authentication, there are other authentication configurations that enable SSO. What are the benefits of implementing SSO with SAML authentication? While there are, of course, improvements in user experience and cost reductions, the following points are particularly noteworthy. Increased security Traditionally, SSO has been done using cookies. By storing authentication cookies that hold login information in the browser, login status is made possible. However, authentication cookies can only establish SSO within the same domain, and since cookies can cache the transmitted authentication cookie in the browser, they can allow unauthorized use by third party impersonators. In other words, it could not be linked to services provided by other companies, such as learningBOX, and there were security issues. SAML is a new technology that does not rely on cookies, but only on the passing of authentication information to establish SSO, and is compatible with public key infrastructure (PKI) and other highly secure authentication environments. This enables SSO with stronger security and has been adopted by many companies, allowing login to multiple services with a single ID and password. I think it is fair to say that SSO is now mainstream. Of course, there are some disadvantages. Because the authentication function is entrusted to a single ID and password, if the ID and password are leaked, unauthorized access to each service can be easily gained. However, on the other hand, it can be said that there is only one piece of information to be protected, so it is important to manage it well while reinforcing it with a combination of multi-factor authentication, etc. Single sign-on using SAML authentication for learningBOX Finally, we will explain single sign-on using learningBOX's SAML authentication. learningBOX can use external authentication with the SAML2.0 protocol. In this case, learningBOX is the service provider (SP). The structure of SAML authentication in learningBOX is as follows. In addition, to enable SAML authentication, settings must be made on both the learningBOX and the IdP. Note that the name of each setting item and its contents in SAML authentication vary depending on the IdP. To use SAML authentication settings, a shared server/customization contract is required. ➡Price Plans  

Rewrite your own program into SCORM material and use it in learningBOX! Hello, this is Morishita of the Development Department. I am Morishita of the Development Department. In this paper, I would like to show you how to implement a program for "Hundred Maths Calculation" as SCORM teaching materials on learningBOX. I was able to implement the program even though I have only just learned JavaScript, so if you read this paper, you will be able to reproduce it immediately if you have written simple programs before. Let's publish your one-of-a-kind program on learningBOX! The SCORM-compliant description has been introduced in the previous article "Let's make SCORM teaching materials", but this time I would like to implement something a little more teaching material-like (?). This time, we would like to implement something a little more like an educational material. Click here to see the table of contents. How to upload your own program 2. how to check the operation of SCORM teaching materials 3. making SCORM materials 4. summary How to upload your own program We have prepared a simple "Hundred Cells Calculator" program for implementing SCORM teaching materials. Download this program "[download id="30640" template="HundredCellsCalc.zip"]" and check its actual operation on learningBOX. This program is based on the code here, with grading and timer functions added. Vue is used to generate the tables. Here are the files to be prepared for creating and implementing SCORM materials. Here are the files to be prepared index.html index.js style.css Please prepare these three files. When uploading, save the necessary files as a single zip file. The html file must be named "index.html". If you use a different name, an error screen will appear and you will not be able to study. You can upload the file [HundredCellsCalc.zip] as it is. Confirm the operation of the SCORM teaching materials After learning the Hundred Cells Calculator, click the "Submit" button to send the results. The learning status of the teaching materials will change to "Pass" or "Fail". I can see that the grades show the score and time left in addition to the learning status. The administrator will also be able to check the user's course history on the grade management page and download grade data in CSV format. For more information about grade management, please check the grade management page here. In this case, the data to be sent to the LMS at the end of the course are "score," "time," and "learning status (pass/fail). If you are interested, please refer to the Japanese version of the SCORM specification from the Japan E-Learning Consortium. Creating SCORM materials Let's take a look at the features of the actual SCORM code. The following three processes were added to the program to make the SCORM version of the 100-meter grid. ☑Add function init to search and initialize the API. (index.js) ☑Add an onload event to execute the function init when the page is loaded. (index.html) ☑Add function sendResult to send data to LMS after study is finished. (index.js) ☑Add function sendResult to send data to LMS after the study is finished. This time, we have three types of data to be sent to the LMS at the end of the study: score, time, and study status (pass or fail). Each, 'cmi.core.score.raw' 'cmi.core.session_time' 'cmi.core.lesson_status' but there are a few caveats when sending data. When setting a value in 'cmi.core.score.raw', it must be a string type (numbers cannot be sent) The initial value of 'cmi.core.session_time' should be '00:00:00 Only six strings can be set in 'cmi.core.lesson_status': 'passed', 'completed', 'failed', 'incomplete', 'browsed', and 'not attempted'. In this program, the data is saved in the LMS when the final sendResult() is executed. ▼ Below is the process we have added to make it compatible with SCORM materials. (i) (index.js) function init to search and initialize API Here, 'browsed' is set as the initial value of the learning status, but it will be set to 'passed' or 'failed' after learning is completed. (ii) (index.html) onload event to execute init() when the page is loaded (iii) (index.js) function sendResult to send data to LMS after study is finished Score (numerical value) is vue.score, learning status is vue.lesson_status, and time is timer.textContent. vue.score is set to a string before being set. LMSCommit finalizes the retention of the value (LMSFinish, which terminates communication with the LMS, includes the same behavior). Conclusion Although the SCORM specification may seem complicated and difficult to understand, learningBOX is a SCORM 1.2-compliant LMS, and by writing code to send learning data to the LMS, users can use it as a learning material. If you are already using learningBOX for in-house training or at school sites, or if you want your users to use your own programming materials, please give it a try. It will also be useful when you want your users to see what you have created in your programming studies. Although learningBOX has several content features, there are still many teaching materials that are difficult to realize with existing content. (Regarding learning contents) For example, it would be very attractive if there were learning materials with puzzle games, board games, or RPG elements, such as ones in which the question text itself changes randomly each time a question is presented, or ones in which the user directly manipulates the screen. If you can create such learning materials by yourself or find the source code, you can register them as SCORM learning materials in learningBOX. We call them "teaching materials" for convenience, but of course, even if they are "games", they are essentially the same. If you know simple JavaScript code, you only need to rewrite it a little to be compatible with SCORM, and you can use it with learningBOX (free of charge, of course).

Click here for the Table of Contents 1. difficulty level and trends of the national nursing examination 2. challenges and concerns in preparing for the national exam 3. how to prepare for the national exam using the learningBOX content features 4. summary The difficulty level and trend of the National Nursing Examination ▼ Click here for the passing status of the 108th National Nursing Examination. The 108th National Nursing Examination was held on Sunday, February 17, 2019, with 64,153 applicants, 63,603 examinees, and 56,767 successful applicants, for a pass rate of 89.3% (91.0% last year). Of these, 58,622 new graduates applied, 58,308 took the exam, and 55,216 passed, for a pass rate of 94.7% (compared to 96.3% last year). ▼ Click here for 2019 pass rates. Here is a chart showing the National Nursing Examination and the pass rate for the past 10 years. In this way, it looks like a relatively low difficulty exam, passing in around 90%. ....... In fact, there is a secret to this pass rate. ☑POINT If you look at the breakdown of those who passed, the pass rate for new graduates is 94.71 TP2T, while the pass rate for graduates is 29.31 TP2T! Yes, the pass rate appears to be high because new graduates account for more than 90% of the applicants. *The pass rate alone gives the illusion that the exam is easy to get through in terms of difficulty, but once you fail the national exam, the probability of passing the next national exam becomes even lower. Therefore, it is very important to have a learning method and a learning environment that will allow you to get a passing grade the first time! Issues and concerns in preparing for the national exam We have already discussed that the pass rate is higher for new graduates who take the national exam immediately after learning specialized content at school. So, what is the actual study period for new graduates? Let's check the annual schedule of nursing students. ▼ Nursing students' annual, schedule In the third year, clinical training is the main focus. Students spend more than half a year at the hospital or facility where they are practicing, learning communication skills through practical skills instruction, chart writing, and patient care assistance. Even after the practical training is over, students will continue to be busy with case reports, nursing research, graduation exams, and other activities even after the practical training visits are over. Students are usually able to concentrate on studying for the national examinations from December onward, and it is a common practice for students to prepare for the national examinations with a packed schedule. The study curriculum schedule is inevitably a short-term battle. The scope of the National Examination and passing criteria are here. The scope of the examination consists of three types of questions: "compulsory questions," "general questions," and "situational questions. The detailed contents are as follows. Passing Criteria The National Nursing Examination consists of 240 questions with a maximum score of 300 points. In order to pass, the following two conditions must be met ☑ Answer correctly at least 80% of the "required questions ☑Fulfill the year's criteria for "General Questions + Situational Questions". The compulsory questions are allotted 50 points out of 300 points, which is 1 point per question. Since 80% of the total number of points is for the compulsory questions, if you do not score more than 40 points (answer more than 40 questions correctly), you will fail the exam at that point, even if you got a perfect score for the General and Situational Setting questions. The situational questions are worth 2 points per question, and the passing standard for these questions fluctuates each year. This is because the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare adjusts the number of successful applicants based on the supply-demand ratio of nurses. As you can see, it is necessary to prepare well for the exam in order to pass. However, neither teachers nor learners can easily spend all their time preparing for the exam. Let's take a look at their respective concerns. ▼ Issues and problems faced by teachers in preparing for the national examinations In recent years, exam questions have been changing to reflect more clinical situations. Behind this trend, we can see the intention of the examiners to have those who have an essential understanding of what they have learned and who truly have aptitude as nurses pass the exam, rather than those who are just trying to learn a few tricks. It is a red herring to think, "Let's just get by by rote memorization." The study required to pass the upcoming national nursing examination is as close as possible to the study required to become a nurse who can work in the field. So what can we do? How can you prepare for the exam efficiently and effectively with limited time? The solution to this problem is "e-learning" and the learningBOX! Here are some of the ways to prepare for the national examinations using the content features of learningBOX! Click here to see how to prepare for the national exam using the memorization cards. ▼This is a very useful learning tool for contents, keywords, and memorized materials that are frequently asked in the national examinations.

Required Question Basic Nursing Adult Nursing Geriatric Nursing Pediatric Nursing Psychiatric Nursing ▼ The quiz function allows learners to train their application skills by dividing the study by year or by subject, or by changing the format of the questions. Another key point is that students can easily study at their own pace outside of school study time. Repetition with e-learning study is effective for memory retention, correct answer rate on quizzes, and review of comprehension aspects! Quizzes can be created in one of three ways: question creation form, text file, or Excel. Quizzes can be embedded in a website, and when linked to the e-learning system (learningBOX), quizzes can be saved and edited, and members' grades can be managed in detail and in detail.

Advantages of in-house production of e-learning materials Hello! I'm Motoki from Marketing. I would like to write about e-learning materials (content) when introducing and utilizing e-learning for in-house and corporate training! If you are considering using e-learning for training, but are not sure whether to create the materials in-house or outsource them, please take a look at this article. Click here to see the table of contents. 1. when introducing e-learning to your company's training program, what you need are the teaching materials. 2. whether to prepare the materials in-house or outsource them? 3. if you prepare the materials in-house, it is important to have an LMS that is easy to use! 4. examples are provided below. 5. of course, there are also advantages to outsourcing. 6. please take advantage of our free trial first. When implementing e-learning for in-house training, all you need are the teaching materials. When creating an e-learning program, the first thing you need is teaching materials. Textbooks and training documents are used for e-Learning, such as PDF materials, web pages, and videos, and quiz creation is used for exercises and tests. You may be wondering whether to create these materials in-house or outsource them to a third party. Do you want to create the educational materials in-house or outsource them? Do you create your own e-learning materials? Or do you outsource? While there are advantages and disadvantages to both, we would like to focus on the advantages of creating eLearning materials in-house. What are the advantages of creating e-learning materials in-house? First of all, with outsourcing, it takes a lot of time and money to revise the materials once they are created. ~ First of all, considering the disadvantages of outsourcing, it is the same in any field, but once created, revisions and updates are costly in terms of additional fees and time and effort to request them. Number two, if we create it in-house, we can easily create and modify it ourselves. ～On the other hand, when we create our own teaching materials, we can easily create and revise them ourselves, allowing us to control the maintenance of the materials after they are created. The advantages of creating e-learning materials in-house can be summarized as follows...the more we can create our own materials, the quicker we can create a variety of content! I think this means that we can create a variety of content faster. If we're going to create our own educational materials, the ease of use of the LMS is critical! If you are creating e-learning materials in-house, the most important thing is to have an LMS that allows you to create materials easily. In terms of an LMS system that is easy to use, learningBOX is clearly the best choice. (Of course, there are many other points to recommend learningBOX, but we will omit them in this article.) One of learningBOX's concepts is "a system that allows anyone to easily build a web-based learning environment. Have you ever had the experience of not knowing how to operate a new tool or application, or having the feeling that it is different from what you expected? I often do. It is a great feeling when you find a system or application that is easy to use. learningBOX has an intuitive UI design that can be operated without manuals, so that administrators creating e-learning materials do not feel stressed when using the system. learningBOX is a "box" for creating e-learning materials. It is an e-learning system that is easy to use, even if you are not familiar with the system, when creating your own e-learning materials. Here are some examples. We will introduce some e-learning case studies in which our clients have actually used learningBOX by creating their own teaching materials. Motivation Switch Group Inc. Case Study Interview] December 5, 2019 - Motivation Switch Group｜Case Studies｜learningBOX e-learning system This is a case study of an e-learning system implemented using learningBOX, focusing on the advantages of creating educational materials exactly in-house. "We had a strong image that e-learning, once created, is time-consuming and costly to revise. So, in addition to price, we also focused on the keywords "easy to create by ourselves" as research keywords." "In the end, we would think of the content of the exercises ourselves, so wouldn't it be a double hassle to tell them what the exercises would be and have another company create the content for us? I thought. We started with the idea that if we were able to create the content ourselves, we would be able to create a variety of content faster as a result." "By implementing e-learning, the traditional manuals started to function better." As you can see, you are taking advantage of the benefits of creating your own teaching materials, and you are taking full advantage of the learningBOX to increase the educational effects of e-learning implementation. In our case (Tatsuno Information System) Training with Reporting Function to Customer Success We, of course, use learningBOX for our training, but most of our materials are created in-house. We use the report function to provide training on customer service. Especially training on customer service is related to our company's services, so we have no choice but to create our own training materials in order to train those services. Of course, there are advantages to outsourcing the creation of these materials. We have discussed the advantages of creating e-learning materials in-house. But let me turn what we have said so far upside down. Advantages of Outsourcing e-Learning Materials It may have sounded as if there are no advantages to outsourcing, but there are, of course, advantages to outsourcing your eLearning materials. For example Advantages of outsourcing e-learning materials: 1. 2. Materials on general topics (e.g., personal information protection) can be created faster than materials created in-house. No.3If you do not have the know-how, knowledge, or resources in-house (e.g., legal topics outside your company's area of expertise) In other words, even if you create the materials in-house, you are still incurring your own internal costs, so if you compare those costs with the costs of outsourcing and decide that outsourcing is worth using even if the cost is a little higher, that may be one of the reasons for your decision. If you decide that outsourcing is worth the higher cost, that may be one option for you. In this issue, we have explained in detail the advantages of producing e-learning materials in-house. Why don't you try using learningBOX to create and register your e-learning materials and create your e-learning program? You can use learningBOX for up to 10 accounts for free for an unlimited period of time. Try our easy-to-use, instruction-free service for yourself!
