Hello! My name is Shiraki, and I'm in charge of Human Resources! Recently, our air conditioner broke down and we are enduring the cold... I hope you all are aware of sudden breakdowns! In this article, I would like to write about "power harassment" which has been widely covered in news and newspapers, and the benefits of introducing e-learning training to prevent power harassment. Thank you very much for your kind attention. Click here for Table of Contents 1. "Power harassment" is on the rise 2. what is "power harassment" in the first place? 3. Does your company/organization provide training on measures against power harassment? 4. If you neglect training on measures against power harassment, there are risks such as the following... 5. 5. e-Learning can raise the level of knowledge on harassment to a certain level 6. summary Power harassment" is on the rise. The number of consultations regarding power harassment among the inquiries at the consultation corners set up at prefectural labor bureaus has been increasing year by year. In addition to the increase in the number of power harassment consultations, the number of cases of depression and other mental disorders caused by bullying and violence in the workplace and compensated for by workers' compensation is also increasing. Reference (Increasing Power Harassment) The following cases have actually occurred Click here to see the power harassment victims in 2019. Toyota employee commits suicide due to power harassment, develops adjustment disorder, and receives workers' compensation (11/19/2019) The director general of the Education Bureau played betting games at a government building (11/18/2019) Director General of the Bureau of Education takes a pay cut for "power harassment"(11/15/2019) ...Power harassment by a colleague...Kawagoe City Council member seeks action(11/7/2019) References (Harassment-related news) Individual labor disputes are also increasing so much! Power harassment tops the list of most frequently consulted topics by employees Summary of Harassment Power harassment is the most common form of harassment. In a survey by Nippon Life Insurance, one out of two respondents said that harassment has occurred around them. According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's survey on "Occurrence of Power Harassment in Companies" (2016), 49.8% of all responding companies had actually received at least one consultation regarding power harassment in the past three years, and 36.3% of all responding companies had actually had a case of power harassment What is power harassment? The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare defines power harassment in the workplace as "acts that cause mental or physical pain or aggravate the work environment to those who work in the same workplace against the background of superiority in the workplace, such as job status or human relations, beyond the appropriate scope of work. Superiority in the workplace" includes not only job status, but also human relations, experience, expertise, and various other advantages. In other words, in addition to harassment between supervisor and subordinate, harassment between senior and junior employees, between colleagues, and even between subordinates and supervisors can also be considered as power harassment. Even if you think you have a vague understanding of the term, when you actually look into it, you will find that the definition of what constitutes power harassment is vague, and the line between words and actions is often indeterminate, depending only on your personal judgment. It was difficult for me to understand everything about "power harassment. This time, I made a quiz on the contents related to power harassment using our e-learning program. How well do you understand power harassment? The quiz contains 5 questions in total. And since explanations are included, we hope you'll take this opportunity to take the quiz! You can take advantage of e-learning! By making the quiz, you can check the lack of knowledge and understanding of harassment, as well as any gaps in perception. By visualizing the learner's performance data, you can analyze the level of knowledge and understanding of harassment within your company. Passing scores for the quiz can also be set arbitrarily, so you can raise the knowledge level of the entire company by raising the passing standard! Does your company/organization provide training to prevent power harassment? The results show that more than 80% of companies feel the importance of anti-harassment measures. While 80% of companies are aware of the problem, only just over 50% are actually taking steps to address it. Furthermore, this breakdown varies depending on the size of the company: for companies with more than 1,000 employees, the percentage is just under 90%, and as the number of employees decreases, the percentage decreases to less than 30% for companies with less than 100 employees. While large companies are taking firm measures to deal with this problem, small and medium-sized companies seem to be aware of the problem, but are unable to take action because the person in charge is often juggling various other duties. Neglecting to provide training in anti-harassment measures can lead to the following risks. Social risks such as compensation issues In some cases, companies have been required to pay tens of millions of yen in compensation in lawsuits due to harassment. The risk of neglecting harassment can lead to serious risks such as damage to the company's image due to compensation issues. Decrease in business efficiency and productivity Lack of employee motivation, deterioration of workplace atmosphere, and mental health problems caused by internal bullying and harassment can lead to a decline in business efficiency and productivity. Outflow of excellent human resources Deterioration of internal atmosphere and business performance due to harassment causes outflow of excellent human resources to other companies. We have learned that anti-harassment training is very important for the growth and development of a company. However, most of you probably do not know what kind of training or education you should actually have your employees receive. An Internet search will only find fragmented knowledge. It takes a lot of time and money to call an instructor, and ...... We can't afford to give careful guidance to each one of you. ...... That's when you need help! E-learning can bring your knowledge of harassment to a certain level Features of learningBOX・E-learning can be started from the day of registration even for those who are not good at computer operation.

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

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

What is an e-Portfolio? Nice to meet you, blog readers! I'm Tanimoto from Development! I'm Tanimoto, a developer 👟I'm sorry to interrupt, but have you ever heard of "e-Portfolio"? When you hear the word "portfolio", you may think "it is used in the world of investment and finance" or "it is a kind of summary of designs I have created", I think what comes to mind when you hear the word "portfolio" is different for each person. After reading this article, you may feel like you know what an e-Portfolio is! So let's take a look at ePortfolio together! Click here for the Table of Contents 1 . What is a portfolio? 2 . e-Portfolio 3 . What are the advantages of using an ePortfolio? 4 . Conclusion What is a portfolio? According to Oxford Learner's Dictionaries, "a thin flat case used for carrying documents, drawings, etc." meaning a case for carrying papers, etc. Quoted from Oxford Learner's Dictionaries Originally used as a paper holder, it came to mean a person's past works or a collection of works in the field of design when painters and other artists started using it to carry their own works. In the field of finance, the term "portfolio" came to be used because in the past, securities were often kept in a pair of scissors. And in the field of education 　Portfolio evaluation methods are also a type of performance evaluation, but the term "portfolio" originally referred to the scissors, or files or scrapbooks, that painters, architects, newspaper reporters, and other professionals use to market themselves to their employers. For example, a painter would bind his masterpieces, leaflets of his solo exhibitions, and reviews in newspapers. The artist's ability and style, as well as his/her social reputation, can be seen at a glance. 　In the portfolio evaluation method, learners (students and pupils) systematically accumulate their own works, records of self-evaluations, and records of teacher instruction and evaluations, which are edited from time to time and discussed using the portfolio. In this way, learners are encouraged to self-evaluate their own learning, and teachers are encouraged to evaluate their own learning activities and their own teaching activities. (Source: Minutes of the 7th Meeting of the Special Committee on High School-University Connection, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) states that Now that you have seen portfolios used in three different fields, you may have a better idea of what a portfolio is. Now let's take a look at the e-Portfolio, the subject of this issue! e-portfolio Finally, let's talk about the main topic, e-portfolio. In Japan, e-portfolio is used by the Japan Educational Information Management Organization (JEMO), which is authorized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) to operate "JAPAN e-Portfolio". There, you can Students can record the results of their school classes, events, club activities, qualifications and certificates they have obtained, and activities outside of school during their high school life, reflect on their learning and achievements in the future, and use the accumulated "learning data" for applications to individual universities. Reference: What is "JAPAN e-Portfolio"? It is said to be a system that This means that the type of learning a person has engaged in, school events, club activities, and other learning, as well as qualifications and certifications obtained by the person himself/herself, are stored as data and utilized. JAPAN e-Portfolio" aims to utilize the accumulated data for university entrance examinations. For more information on which universities support this program, please click here. In other words, e-portfolio is about using the Internet to store portfolio data. Why use the Internet to store data? Because there are advantages to using the Internet. Next, we will look at the advantages of managing your portfolio over the Internet! What are the advantages of using e-Portfolio? Let's take a look at the advantages of using an e-Portfolio. Advantage 1・Reduction of cost and space Advantage 2: Access to portfolios regardless of time or location Advantage 3・Availability of data (for use in university admissions and by teachers) Regarding Merit 1, reducing costs and space, storing student grades on paper requires space for storing paper and the cost of the paper itself. By storing them as data, it is possible to reduce space and paper costs. The second advantage, access to portfolios regardless of time or location, is also related to the first advantage. If the results are stored in paper form, the user must either go to the location where the paper is located or have it sent to them. When the data is stored as data, students can look back at their own data, and teachers can look at the data of their students at any time and place. Advantage 3, the availability of data (e.g., for use in university entrance examinations), can be used with the JAPAN e-Portfolio service, which is used for university entrance examinations.

How to Effectively Improve Your Math Grades Using E-Learning Hello everyone! I love math until middle school, but not so much high school math... 🐧 This is Kobashi from Development. Do you all like math? In my case, I especially liked graphic problems and functions until junior high school. This article is a must for "students who are not good at math and teachers who teach math!" I will show you how to learn math effectively by using e-learning learning. Thank you for your interest in this article. Click here for the Table of Contents 1 . What is e-Learning Learning? 2 . Creating math problems with learningBOX 3 . Course learning with learningBOX 4 . Summary What is e-learning learning? It is a form of learning that uses the Internet. It is a learning system that allows students to improve their skills at their own pace, regardless of location, time, or learning content, by using electronic devices such as PCs, mobile terminals, and IT networks. e-Learning is a learning method that is attracting attention and expectation in various fields, including personal career development, hobby learning, certification exams, and understanding training content. This is a learning method that is attracting attention and expectation in a variety of fields, such as personal career development, hobby study, certification exams, and understanding of training content. It is used not only for personal use, but also as learning materials for in-house training programs. Creating math problems with learningBOX With learningBOX, you can easily create and register questions. You can create questions from a question creation form, a text file, or an Excel file. If you are not confident in creating questions, we recommend the quiz/test in the question creation form. If you have a large number of questions, we recommend using the Textbook if speed is important to you. If you want to register a batch of questions in a format you are familiar with, we recommend Excel You can choose between "Master and Normal Mode" for creating and practicing questions Features of Master Mode Master Mode is a so-called "repetitive learning" mode. Repetitive learning promotes memory retention. We have created some math exercises using Master Mode. Please try it out! We have created a wide variety of question types such as multiple choice, correct/incorrect, multiple choice, short answer, fill-in-the-blank, and sorting questions, which only learningBOX can provide! You can create even more customized questions by using the *Options feature! ★ You can change the title and starting message, limit the number of questions, and so on. You can also set the learner's grade, hide answers, pass mark, time limit, etc. Randomization of questions and choices is recommended for preparation, review, and re-study. For questions that are difficult to understand, you can embed "images, videos, explanations, and a report function". ➡All of the above options can be configured on the web from your computer. Course study with learningBOX Here is the learningBOX screen after logging in from a PC. (Click on the image to enlarge it) learningBOX manages educational materials in folders. You can organize questions in each folder, group them by subject, and distribute learning materials according to their usability. Created learning materials can also be set up as course study. A certificate can be distributed to those who pass the course, and a questionnaire function can be used to solve problems and issues related to study that are usually difficult to ask about on the web! Folders and created study materials can be set with an image of your choice as the cover (thumbnail image). In this case, we set an image related to mathematics! By setting an illustration or image, you can change the visual image and learners can easily see what kind of contents are in which folder. ▼The assignment of teaching materials to each group can be easily set in the conten management screen. ➡In this way, it is possible to distribute each teaching material in groups by grade level. learningBOX can assign learning materials to each group You can set up the distribution and designation of learning materials for each group. (Details on how to create and register groups can be found in the group registration section. Limit on the number of times a course can be taken You can set the number of times a course can be taken up to a certain number of times. It is also possible to set an interval limit (time). Interval limits can be set in 1-hour increments up to a maximum of 720 hours between the time a user takes a course and the time he/she can take it again. For more details, please refer to the lesson limits page. You can also keep track of your learners' progress! ▼You can view your grades, list and by question.

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

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

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