Why not use e-learning as an alternative to group training for new employees? Hello. My name is Motoki. As soon as possible, I would like to express my deepest sympathies to all those who have suffered and are spending anxious days due to the infectious disease related to the new type of coronavirus. As you know, there have been daily news reports about the new coronavirus. This has also caused school closings and the cancellation of various events. Many companies have introduced or are considering telework and staggered working hours as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus, and many business meetings and discussions are being handled via video conferencing. These factors have also had an impact on our company, and recently we have been receiving an increasing number of inquiries from companies considering the introduction of e-learning as a method of providing training. Therefore, we would like to discuss the introduction of e-learning as an alternative to new employee training. If you are wondering how you should implement new employee training, we hope this will be helpful. Click here for the table of contents Some companies are reviewing their new employee training programs 2. how to conduct new employee training without gathering together 3. more and more companies are actually considering e-learning 4. our e-learning system is "inexpensive" and "easy to use 5. summary Some companies are rethinking their new employee training programs Due to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, many companies have begun to rethink their plans for new employee training and initiation ceremonies scheduled for March and April. The survey results have actually emerged, with "As of late February, 17.11 TP2T of respondents were considering changing their plans from the original plan, an increase of 7.7 points from the February 13 survey." The results are out as follows. *Source: Survey on the Impact of the New Coronavirus on New Employee Induction Training (Second Report) from If new employee training cannot be conducted, it will be impossible to provide appropriate education and support to new employees who are already feeling anxious. In addition, if companies are unable to provide training, they will not be able to nurture the human resources that will become the company's workforce, resulting in a significant loss of business. In order to implement new employee training without gathering In response to this situation, "e-learning" is a method that allows each new employee to realize an environment similar to the content and quality of group training while at home or in a remote location. With e-learning, new employee training can be conducted without gathering together. Let us reiterate the advantages of e-Learning. Advantages of e-Learning E-learning can be conducted at any time and any place. Progress and results can be checked immediately. All materials that can be made available on the web (PDFs, videos, etc.) can be distributed online as educational materials. ...etc... Of course, there are some training courses that are difficult to implement online, such as practical skills training, but I think there are many things that can be converted to e-learning as teaching materials. Thus, e-learning is a great alternative to new employee training, as long as you have an Internet connection and a device such as a smartphone, you can start learning immediately. More and more companies are actually considering e-learning. In fact, according to the results of a survey of companies that are considering taking a different approach to new employee training than originally planned, the second most popular response was "considering methods other than group training (remote, e-learning, etc.)," indicating that more companies are considering e-learning as a method for new employee training.

We hope that you will consider using e-learning as part of the introduction of telework and remote working.

I am Nishimura, the creator of QuizGenerator, and the creator of QuizGenerator. Actually, I did not participate in the initial development of learningBOX, but started full-fledged participation around the release of version 2.0. I have just received a pull request regarding the handling of character encoding, and I thought I should talk a little more about character encoding, so I put it together in an article. In this article, I will introduce "How to unify the character encoding of text files with utf-8 in PHP". We hope you enjoy this article as well. Table of Contents 1. shift-JIS is unavoidable 2. how to avoid garbled characters 3. how to determine character encoding 4. summary Shift-JIS is unavoidable. Systems like learningBOX and QuizGenerator sometimes receive text files such as CSV. In modern Web systems, the character encoding of text files should be utf-8, and we do not want to accept any other character encoding, but in reality, Shift_JIS files are often uploaded on rare occasions and reported as a problem. Therefore, when QuizGenerator receives a Shift_JIS file, it converts it to utf-8 and continues processing. What is Shift-JIS? Shift-JIS is one of the character codes that contain various characters including Japanese, standardized as JIS standard. It is used as the standard character code for Japanese in many personal computers. it is an improvement of the JIS code defined in the JIS standard. while the JIS code uses 7 bits to represent a character, the Shift-JIS code uses 2 bytes (16 bits) to represent all characters. mb_convert_encoding is not reliable. PHP has a function called mb_convert_encoding to perform character encoding conversion. At first glance, this function seems to be able to determine the character encoding and convert to utf-8, but in fact, this function is not reliable. mb_convert_encoding("aaa", "utf-8", "utf-8, sjis-win") will convert "aaa" to utf-8 if it is utf-8 and to Shift_JIS If it is Shift_JIS, it should convert it to utf-8 (at least that's what I've read in the official documentation), but in fact, it does something ridiculous. It forcefully interprets a string passed in as utf-8 as Shift_JIS, breaks it, and converts it to utf-8, returning a value that is incomprehensible. How to avoid character corruption ▼ "mb_convert_encoding works properly if you specify the character encoding of the conversion source. mb_convert_encoding works properly as long as you specify the character encoding of the conversion source. In other words, the strategy of converting from Shift_JIS to utf-8 only if it is Shift_JIS, and doing nothing if it is utf-8, basically works. mb_convert_encoding("aaaa", "utf-8", "sjis-win") The above code works fine if "aaaa" is Shift_JIS. If it is originally utf-8, it is OK as is. How do we determine the character encoding? There is a function called mb_detect_encoding, but to begin with, if this works correctly, it can be solved simply by using mb_convert_encoding. If the standard functions don't work, you're on your own. It is not that difficult to determine whether or not the utf-8 specification is met, so just do it. What if it is not utf-8? If it's not utf-8, we'll treat it as Shift_JIS at ・・・・. We can't support people who submit euc-jp or utf-16 files, at least not if they know about encoding. At least, people who do that should know about encoding, so please self-serve. In the first place, they are specified to use utf-8. Another trap I have used the term Shift_JIS many times in this article, but what is currently referred to as Shift_JIS is often Windows-31J (MS932), which is an extension of Shift_JIS. However, if you specify Shift_JIS in PHP, characters other than those specified in the original Shift_JIS specification will be corrupted. Unless you have a special reason, use Windows-31J or sjis-win instead of Shift_JIS. The official documentation says to use Windows-31J, but only sjis-win is listed, which is a strange state of affairs, but at least with PHP 7.3.13, either specification worked fine. Will a unified future ever come? About 20 years ago. When I first started web programming, UTF-8 was not the standard and garbled characters were a common occurrence. In the Web world, it seems safe to say that the unification to utf-8 has been completed. Smartphones were created based on the assumption of utf-8, since they were born in a world after utf-8 became widely used. （On the other hand, files exchanged on Windows are often in Shift_JIS. Conclusion In this article, we introduced "How to unify the character encoding of text files with utf-8 in PHP. As a company from Japan, we would like to keep the usability for Japanese people in mind, so we will continue to develop without forgetting about Shift_JIS for a while longer. (We really want to forget about IE11...)

LDAP / ActiveDirectory Integration With the learningBOX 2.9 version upgrade, we have added support for integration with LDAP servers. LDAP v3 compatible directory services (OpenLDAP, Active Directory, etc.) can be used as a user authentication method. LDAP authentication can be used not only for user authentication, but also for user management in conjunction with directory services. LDAP authentication requires a dedicated server contract. SAML Authentication Settings SAML authentication settings have been added since Ver. 2.8. To make it easier to use, the corresponding Identity Provider (IdP) and authentication setting screen have been added. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an XML-based international standard authentication method for authenticating users across different Internet domains, and is a protocol for achieving single sign-on (SSO). Single sign-on (SSO) is a mechanism that allows users to log in to multiple services simultaneously with a single ID and password. SAML authentication requires design customization or a dedicated server contract. SAML Authentication Settings for Trust Login Trust Login" is a single sign-on service for enterprises with basic functions such as "single sign-on" that enables login to multiple services with a single ID and password, "ID management" and "log and report functions. SAML Authentication Settings in Google G Suite LearningBOX can be registered as a SAML application for G Suite. SAML Authentication Settings with OneLogin You can register learningBOX as a SAML application for OneLogin. Badge setting function A new feature has been added that also serves as a gamification element. With the badge function, learners are given badges based on their learning achievements, which can be expected to increase their motivation. Learners can also check their course status at a glance. The badge display function can be set for each material or folder. Please note that badge acquisition conditions differ for each material. Interruption Resume Function The "Suspend and Resume" function, which is useful when conducting tests and examinations, has been further improved. We understand that in many cases you may use the one-time-only limit when conducting a test, but with this improved feature, you can interrupt and resume the quiz even if you leave the system screen during the test. This is an option that allows users to suspend and resume the quiz when taking the quiz/test. You can interrupt your answers in the middle of the quiz, and resume from the middle of the quiz. A new mode "Resume from Interruption" has been added for this time. When "Enable" is specified, you can choose to "Resume from the beginning" or "Start over from the beginning" when resuming. If you specify "Enable only from the continuation", you can only select "Resume from the continuation". Notification function for specified course materials The "Notify me when a learner has completed certain material" function has been added to meet the request of "automatically notifying the administrator when a learner has completed certain material". This function allows you to set up email notifications to be sent to the administrator when there is a change in a learner's grade status.
