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!

Happy New Year! I am Yokoyama🐈, a developer. I look forward to working with you in the New Year! This time, I would like to introduce an article titled "Using TensorFlow.js to add a problem to judge handwriting in learningBOX. Originally, SCORM requires imsmanifest.xml, a file that defines the structure of the teaching material, but learningBOX can be registered without imsmanifest.xml. Click here for the table of contents 1. try to add a question to judge handwritten characters 2. what is SCORM? What is TensorFlow.js? 4. summary Let's try adding a problem to determine handwriting. Seeing is believing, so first watch this video! The numbers displayed on the screen are input by handwritten letters. The question is to determine if the entered letters are correct or incorrect. This problem is running as a SCORM teaching material on the actual learningBOX! This is made using SCORM and TensorFlow.js. We will explain in turn. What is SCORM? SCORM is a standard in e-learning. SCORM is an e-learning standard that defines specifications for combining learning materials with an LMS (Learning Management System). In Japan, the Japan e-Learning Consortium certifies LMSs and content, as well as SCORM-related qualifications. Since learningBOX is a SCORM-compliant LMS, grades and other information can be saved as long as the materials are SCORM-compliant. Since this question was also created in accordance with SCORM, the grades are saved in learningBOX. If you want to know more about SCORM, check out this article! ▼For more information, click here. What is TensorFlow.js? TensorFlow is an open source machine learning library developed by Google Inc. The JavaScript version of this library is TensorFlow.js. This time, we used TensorFlow.js for a simple task of judging handwritten numbers. Please understand that I am a beginner in machine learning, so I may not be very good at some things 🙇. If you are interested in trying out these questions, please download the zip file. Please download the ZIP file, register it in learningBOX, and upload it as a SCORM teaching material! *This problem has been tested with Google Chrome. Reference: Load MNIST-trained model with TensorFlow.js for handwriting recognition in a browser Conclusion In this article, we have introduced a simple but effective way to create and add SCORM teaching materials. Originally, SCORM requires a file called imsmanifext.xml that defines the structure of the material, but learningBOX can be used without imsmanifest.xml. LearningBOX is a SCORM-compliant LMS, so grades and other information can be saved as long as the material is SCORM-compliant. Since this question was created in accordance with SCORM, the grades are saved in the learningBOX. This time, the content was simple, judging a handwritten number, but with application, a wide variety of SCORM teaching materials can be created.

When I step on a link from Word or Excel, for some reason I am taken to the login screen. We have also had this problem with learningBOX in the past, but it was resolved in version 2.8.9. We are now disclosing the cause and countermeasure for this problem in case other systems are also suffering from the same problem. Click here to see the table of contents. 1. symptoms 2. causes 2. countermeasures 3. why was it discovered in the first place? 4. are all the web apps out there coping with it? Symptoms While logged in to a certain system, when I open a URL in the system from Word or Excel, I am redirected to the login screen. Since the user is already logged in, we would like to have the URL in the system opened directly. Cause In Word or Excel, when you click on a link, Word or Excel sends a request to that link address; Word or Excel receives a response that redirects you to the login page because you are not logged in to the linked site. This redirect URL is passed to the web browser, which causes a transition to the login page. Countermeasures When a request for the post-login page is received from Word or Excel, do not perform redirect processing. By doing so, the specified URL is passed to the web browser as is, and the post-login page can be opened. In the figure above, it is enough to change the processing at point (2). If you are using PHP, you can use the following code to handle this issue. exit may have side effects, so please terminate the process in accordance with your framework's style. If you return an empty document with a status code of 200, it is almost OK. How was it discovered in the first place? One of our customers distributes URLs for educational materials via Excel, and for some reason, when he steps on the link, he is taken to the login screen. Since there is no special exception handling only when opening from Excel, we investigated the cause of the problem by referring to the web server logs, etc., and found that the problem was caused by strange behavior of Office. Are all the web apps in the world coping with this? As of January 14, 2020, Gmail and Slack have been addressed, but there are many services that everyone knows about that have not been addressed. This is not so much a problem on the web application side as it is a problem with the behavior of Office, but it can be easily handled using the method described above, so please consider taking action.

A new year is upon us, and it has been two years since the last time we were in the office in 2025. Hello! I'm Sakamoto, a member of the introduction support team.

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

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

The year 2019 is just a few days away. How was the first year of 2019 for you? I am Kitaoka🍎, a marketing manager, and I haven't finished writing my New Year's greeting cards at all. This article is for those of you who are interested in e-learning! If you want to implement e-learning but are wondering which company's service to choose, this article is for you! Our e-learning system (learningBOX) is free for anyone from individuals to companies to start using e-learning. All you need to prepare is a computer and an Internet environment. You can start e-learning from the day you register. In this article, we will introduce the features and functions of our e-learning system, learningBOX. Thank you very much for your interest in our e-learning system. Table of Contents 1. do you have any of these employee training problems? 2. learningBOX is an e-learning system that even first-time users can use with confidence. 3. here are some examples of situations in which learningBOX can be used 4. summary Do you have any of these employee training problems? If you are in charge of training and have only conducted group training, please contact us. Do you have any of these problems or issues when implementing and operating employee training? The person in charge of training is worried: "I don't have time for group training for all participants. We don't have the budget to conduct training every time. The level of knowledge acquisition varies from employee to employee. We have conducted major training programs, but as time goes by, the knowledge fades and it takes time for it to take root. I need an e-learning solution to all my staff's problems! But ...... Concerns about operational aspects I am not familiar with computer-related knowledge or electronic devices. I am not confident about creating training materials and setting up the content I want to use for training. Concerns about price The price is too high, and I cannot afford to spend a large amount of money. I am afraid to purchase a product or service that is difficult to see what is inside. Concerns about ease of use If there is a difference in usability among different age groups, it will be difficult for the company to introduce and manage the service. Can anyone, not just a few people, manage the system? There are many people who are interested in e-learning learning, but who reject or are uncomfortable with computer operation and setting methods. In addition to that, they tilt their heads at the high price of e-learning systems, and their enthusiasm for introducing e-learning cools down. We believe that there are indeed many such persons in charge. learningBOX is an e-learning system that even first-time users can use with confidence. Most e-learning systems on the market today are very expensive, and most services are mainly designed for large companies. The concept of learningBOX is a "cheap and easy-to-use" system.

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

Regarding the size of video files when creating e-learning materials I am Nagai🎮 of Quality Control, suffering from a cold that is not completely gone. This time, I would like to share with you a question that we have received many inquiries from our customers: "When uploading e-learning materials, how long is a video file and how much space does it take? This article is an explanation and a small piece of information in response to this question. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Click here for Table of Contents 1. what is a video file 2. how to calculate a video file 3. how to upload a video file to learningBOX 4. summary What is a video file? A video file uses the same principle as a flip book to show a series of still images one after the other to make the picture appear to be moving. A single video file contains a number of image files, and the file size naturally becomes large. The size (capacity) of a video file depends mainly on the numerical values of factors such as bit rate, resolution, codec, etc. Let's take a look at each of these factors in detail. Let's take a look at them one by one in detail. Relationship between file size and image quality Bit rate This is a unit of rate at which data is transferred. In simple terms, it is a unit that expresses "how much data can be transferred. The higher the bit rate number, the higher the image quality and the larger the video file size. Resolution Resolution is a numerical value that expresses the density of pixels in a video. In digital video, it is expressed as "a collection of very small colored dots (pixels). The unit of "dpi" or "ppi" is used. The higher the resolution, the higher the density of dots, and the smaller the resolution, the smaller the video capacity. Codec A codec is a device or software that performs the encoding (compression) and decoding (playback) of data. Handling large-sized videos uncompressed requires large memory, hard disks, etc., or compressing the video capacity to reduce its size. POINT Generally, to improve video quality, it is necessary to increase the resolution (fineness) of the video, and to increase the resolution of the video, it is necessary to increase the file size of the video. In particular, the size of the bit rate, which represents the file size per second of video, will greatly affect the quality of the image. However, if the bit rate is too large, the performance of the communication line and terminal will be greatly burdened when the video is transmitted over the Internet, causing the video to not play smoothly. Video File Calculation Method You can calculate how much the file size of a video file will be. The data capacity is calculated as follows. ▷Here is the calculation formula Video bit rate x length (seconds) ÷ 8 (convert bits to bytes) Since the amount of data per second is the bit rate, multiplying the time and converting it to bytes will give you the video file size. Exercise For a 10-minute video at 2.5 Mbps, what is the file size? →2.5Mbps × 600 (seconds) ÷ 8 = 187.5MB (megabytes) ▼Here is a quick table on video capacity. Please use it as a guide when uploading your video. The actual capacity may go up or down slightly when audio is added, but this will give you a rough idea of the capacity of your video.

The word "Christmas" is derived from the words "Christ" (Christ, the Savior) and "Mas" (Mass, worship). The day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ into the world about 2,000 years ago is called "Christmas. When the Christmas season approaches, we often hear the words "Merry Christmas! We use it casually, but not many people know the meaning of the word, do they? Merry Christmas" is an abbreviation of "I wish you a merry Christmas. It is a kind expression that wishes "I wish you a merry Christmas. Origin of Christmas Color Red is the color that symbolizes the blood of Jesus Christ in some Christian religions. Green is the color that symbolizes holly, a standard and decorative item at Christmas. Belonging to the coniferous tree family, holly never appears to wither and symbolizes eternal life force. Incidentally, the body of the Christmas tree may be selected for the same reason as holly. Christmas trees are generally made of evergreen coniferous trees as lumber. Since ancient times, regardless of region or culture, colors have been thought to have meanings, powers, and wishes. Even in Japan, colors were used to denote status, and certain colors were used to ward off evil. Similarly, in Christianity, specific colors are also associated with meanings and wishes. Who is Santa Claus? Origins of Santa Claus He is said to be modeled on St. Nicholas, a saint who existed in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey) in the 4th century. He was popularly known as a friend of the common people who performed various miracles (miracle workers) to help the unfortunate people. The legend that he saved a family by throwing gold coins down the chimney of a poor girl who was about to sell herself to the poor is said to be the prototype for the later "Santa Claus Story. Where did Santa Claus come from? Did Santa Claus come from Scandinavia or the North Pole? According to a legend about Santa Claus that was introduced to the United States in the 1920s, his hometown is the North Pole. In the 1920s, a legend about Santa Claus in the U.S. suggested that his hometown was in Finnish Lapland, which is located within the Arctic Circle. In 1927, the Finnish national broadcaster declared Korvatunturi in eastern Lapland (called Ear Mountain because of its shape) to be Santa Claus' official residence. Let's take the Christmas quiz!
