The e-learning system "learningBOX" will have an "AI Assist" function linked to ChatGPT (scheduled for release on September 20, 2023). This is a feature that we hope you will take this opportunity to try, as it allows you to utilize AI easily and safely. For this issue, we asked learningBOX members to cooperate with us and experience "AI assist" firsthand. This article introduces an interview about "automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz and test generation). Click here to read the interview about "Report Analysis. What is "AI Assist" in learningBOX? We would like to reintroduce the AI assist function. Report Analysis...AI analyzes submitted reports based on model answers. Feedback comments are automatically generated to assist in the report grading process. Automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz/test generation, memorization card generation)...Quizzes and memorization cards can be automatically generated with a single click from videos and PDF materials uploaded to learningBOX, website URLs, etc. This enables time-saving question creation and report grading, which tend to be time-consuming, and assists in the smooth operation of online in-house training and school education. Back to Table of Contents Automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz and test generation)! Interviews We interviewed a member of the Information Security team. Torii, Project Manager, Specification Design Section, Product Planning Department and Information Security Team, Administration Department Before the interview, I would like to introduce a little about learningBOX's information security system. We have established an "Information Security Committee" for learningBOX's security system, and are continuously working on various security enhancements to ensure that our customers can use our services with peace of mind. Click here for detailed security measures In this case, we asked the participants to use the automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz and test generation) for a situation in which they were to create a test of understanding of the security handbook in an information security training program for all employees. Information security training is...one of learningBOX's new employee training and regular training programs, which includes about 50 contents such as documents, regulations, and procedures. The security handbook used in this training is updated once a year. Regular training is also conducted every year in conjunction with the update. What challenges have internal training staff had so far in creating educational materials? What challenges have you faced in the past when managing information security training? Torii: The Information Security Committee conducts training and comprehension tests once a year when the security handbook is updated. However, there was an opinion from within the company that the frequency of information security training should be increased a little more. However, I was currently working on security-related tasks in addition to my regular duties, so I was unable to find the time to increase the frequency of training sessions. I thought that if I could reduce the amount of time required to prepare the materials and tests, I would be able to solve the problem. The psychological burden of creating test questions is reduced as AI creates the base! How did you actually use the automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz and test generation)? What were the good points? Torii: I felt that it would reduce my workload because I don't have to come up with test content myself from scratch. However, there are still issues with the accuracy of the test questions created by the AI, so it will be necessary to make corrections by hand. Still, considering the increase in training frequency, it is difficult to create a number of tests by oneself, so having AI create the initial base will help reduce the psychological burden. It would also be nice to be able to present not only the test questions, but also the contents of the correct and incorrect answer choices. It's surprisingly hard to think of wrong answers. Torii: Yes, it is. It helps that it was a point that took quite a bit of time, such as trying to make subtle mistakes! ▼ Quiz/test generation is also so speedy! Is there anything else that could be improved by using AI Assist? Torii: Currently, we outsource the production of training materials and test questions related to the security handbook, but we have recently increased the number of members, and if we can use this automatic generation of teaching materials, I think it will be possible to bring the production in-house. If we are able to produce the materials in-house, we will be able to reduce costs. Automatic generation of teaching materials could also be used to disseminate internal rules! You have tried using it for information security training this time, but what other situations could you use the automatic generation of teaching materials? Torii: Regardless of information security, I think we can easily create tests when we want to inform people about company rules. For example, network-related issues or compliance. Because of my position, I am often consulted or asked questions by employees, and I thought that preparing a test for each internal rule would deepen the understanding of individuals and reduce the number of inquiries. What were your concerns and points for improvement? Did you have any concerns or areas for improvement after actually using the product? Torii: Currently, the automatic generation of teaching materials only allows you to select a single-choice question format, so it would be easier to use if there were more variations, such as sorting questions or fill-in-the-blank questions. It would also be great if we could choose the difficulty level of the quizzes/tests we create. For example, if we wanted to increase the frequency of information security training, it would be easier for trainees to learn if they could take a basic test at first and increase the difficulty level as they go through the training more frequently. Although it would be difficult to observe the difficulty level using AI, I think it would be possible to adjust the difficulty level if there are more variations in the question format. More to the point, it would be ideal to be able to create quizzes/tests that match the proficiency level of the students. I think this would be an even more practical function. As a point of concern, this time I tried to create a test with AI using PDF materials, but the accuracy of test generation differed depending on whether the original PDF data was Word or PowerPoint. In this case, I felt that Word was more compatible with AI. Specifically, what do you mean? Torii: For the security handbook, the original data was PowerPoint, but we converted it to PDF and created the test with AI. Actually, we also tried it on another document called the Information Security Procedures Manual. The original data of the Information Security Procedures Manual is in Word. When we converted it to PDF and then created a test with AI, the latter information security procedure document was more accurate in test generation. Perhaps, we felt that the AI could read the Word document more easily because it contained more information as a reading material, and the accuracy was also higher. On the other hand, PowerPoint, due to its characteristics, has many headings and illustrations, and the text is often expressed in a straightforward manner, which may reduce the accuracy of test generation. I see. That may be a new view. Finally, do you actually want to use this function in your business in the future? Torii: Yes, I do. I would definitely like to use it. It is difficult to think of and create test questions from scratch by myself, so I would like to wisely use the help of AI. Thanks to the automatic generation of teaching materials, I can now think positively about increasing the frequency of training. It's good to be able to achieve what I wanted to do but couldn't before. Back to Table of Contents SUMMARY In this issue, you have seen an interview with Torii about the automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz and test generation), how did you like it? He said that AI plays the role of assisting, and that it is essential for people to direct and correct the process. it would be wonderful if, by making good use of AI, we could solve one by one the problems that had not been solved due to manpower issues. Although there are still some issues to be addressed regarding the accuracy of the AI, we are confident that it will be useful as an assistant in online employee training, education, and human resource development, as was the case with Torii this time. We are now offering a free "Easy quiz generation by AI" service on the QuizGenerator page, which allows users to generate quizzes automatically by simply entering a short topic or a URL containing the content of the quiz they wish to create. Please enjoy the AI experience here as well until the release of the AI assist function in September. We also recommend this service! Also read Back to Table of Contents

Recently, AI has been rapidly developing and many AI tools have been created, but are you using AI in your business? Many companies may still be concerned about the hurdles to using AI in their business operations from the viewpoint of security, such as information leakage. In such a situation, learningBOX Corporation will release a new function "AI Assist" for the e-learning system "learningBOX" that is linked to ChatGPT (scheduled for September 20, 2023). We hope you will take this opportunity to try this function as it allows you to utilize AI easily and safely. For this issue, we asked learningBOX members to cooperate with us and actually experience AI assist. In this article, we present an interview about "Report Analysis. Click here to read the interview about "automatic generation of teaching materials. What is "AI Assist" in learningBOX? First, let us briefly introduce the new "AI Assist" feature. Report Analysis...AI analyzes submitted reports based on model answers. Feedback comments are automatically generated to assist in the report grading process. Automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz/test generation, memorization card generation)...Quizzes and memorization cards can be automatically generated with a single click from videos and PDF materials uploaded to learningBOX, website URLs, etc. This enables time-saving question creation and report grading, which tend to be time-consuming, and assists in the smooth operation of online in-house training and school education. Back to Table of Contents Using "Report Analysis." Interviews We interviewed the following two members of the Support Section of the Sales Department. From left, Takashima (from Tokyo Branch Office), Kashiwabara (from Head Office) Interviews were conducted via an online connection between Tokyo and the head office. Assuming a customer support (CS) training situation for new employee training, we asked the participants to use "report analysis" for tasks from creating training questions to scoring. CS (Customer Support) training is one of the new employee training programs offered by learningBOX. It is a report assignment in which participants learn how they should respond as learningBOX customer support staff, based on actual customer inquiries. The report is submitted using the learning management system of learningBOX, and a senior employee grades each question and gives feedback. This is a difficult training program. What problems have scorers had with report assignments so far? What problems have you two had in grading reports? Takashima: When grading reports, I not only have to grade them as pass/fail, but also write feedback comments, but I had to create easy-to-understand sentences from scratch while adding hints so that the students could derive the answers themselves. This was difficult and time-consuming every time. In addition, each company member received more than 50 answers in total, and since I had to make pass/fail decisions and provide feedback on that volume in between work, before I knew it, I had a stack of reports waiting to be graded. Kashiwabara: The responses in the report were phrased differently from person to person, so it took time to check each one to make sure I was getting the points right. It used to take 5 minutes to grade one question, but it was reduced to 1 minute? How did you actually use the report analysis? What were the good points? Kashiwabara: First of all, I thought, "The age of AI has finally arrived! I thought (laughs). Putting that aside, I was glad that the AI automatically presents the similarity of the answers to the model answers and creates feedback comments so that I can immediately judge whether I have correctly filled in the correct points. This seemed to reduce the time it used to take me from five minutes to grade one question to a sensible one minute or so. For example, if there are 10 questions, I might be able to reduce the time from 50 minutes to 10 minutes. The feedback generated by the AI is also accurate, with such comments as "this sentence is missing" and "it is well written" for each point, so I have the impression that it can be used without problems as a basis for judgment. Also, if you check the "Analyze on receipt of report" box in advance, the AI-analyzed answers are already displayed when you open the scoring screen, which I thought was very convenient. If you check the "Analyze on receipt of report" checkbox, the AI analysis is already completed when you open the grading screen, which saves you time! Takashima: I also liked how easy it was to operate and how quickly I was able to create report assignments. Basically, all I had to do was add model answers to the normal flow of creating questions. I thought it was a time saver overall because it also showed the analysis quickly. As Kashiwabara-san said, the feedback sentences provided by the AI were also very accurate and helpful. For example, even if an answer lacks explanation, it will include specific advice in the text. It was very smooth because I could just copy the text and edit it. ▼The preparation of report assignments is also so speedy! ▼ Results screen with report analysis It could be used not only for in-house training, but also for various examinations and test preparation! You tried using it in the report grading scene of CS training this time, but what other situations could you use report analysis in? Takashima: In addition to universities, qualification schools, and in-house training, industries that require accuracy, such as the nursing care and construction industries, have report assignments after training, so it could be used in those situations as well. I also thought it could be used for other purposes, such as employment and promotion exams, as well as in test preparation. Kashiwabara: LearningBOX also has a diagnostic test function, but we sometimes receive comments from customers that it is difficult to create a diagnostic test. Certainly, it is difficult to create a diagnostic test from scratch unless you have studied statistics, etc. After using AI Assist, I feel that it is very good at analysis, so I thought it would be even more convenient if AI Assist was also included in the diagnostic test. What were your concerns and points for improvement? Did you have any concerns or areas for improvement after actually using the product? Kashiwabara: It may be improved in future modifications, but currently, the bottleneck may be that you can only enter up to 1,000 characters in response to a report assignment. For example, I felt it was not enough for a university report assignment. I also feel that there needs to be a basis for the "similarity to model answers" figure. This is because, if you answer the model answers as they are, you will naturally get 100%, but if you try to create some answers that are missing some wording from the model answers, the result is that many of them are around 85%. There was some variation in the numbers, and I thought it would be more convincing if I could objectively see what the percentages were based on. The percentage of correct answers is displayed as "similarity to the model answers." Furthermore, we also tested what would happen if we tried to give an answer that was better than the model answer, and the correct answer rate was 85%. This is because the AI compares the answer to the model answer, but if a person had graded it, this would be a point to be added to the score. In this regard, I felt it was safe to take the stance that "the AI is only an assistant". Also, there was a point where I thought I might be confused about the input format at first. The input format of how to submit the assignment, but please note that you cannot use the report analysis unless you select "text input". To use report analysis, select "Text Input" and then check the "Use AI Report Analysis (Beta) (Text Input Only)" checkbox! Takashima: In CS training, we often put URLs and images (screenshots) as hints for feedback on answers, so I would really like to see this evolve to be able to insert them! Would you actually like to use this feature in your work in the future? Kashiwabara: Yes, by all means! There are more than 50 questions in total in the LearningBOX and QuizGenerator report assignments, so it is quite hard to grade them while doing daily work. At this point, I feel that it is difficult to completely rely on AI to grade reports. However, it still saves a lot of time, so we definitely want to use it in the future. I am planning to use it in earnest during the CS training after I join the company in the summer! Back to Table of Contents SUMMARY In this issue, you have seen an interview with Takashima and Kashiwabara about report analysis. The good news is that by making effective use of AI with the viewpoint that "AI is only an assistant," it will be possible to efficiently perform tasks that used to take a long time! Although there are still some issues to be addressed regarding the accuracy of the AI, we are confident that it will be useful in assisting with the grading of report assignments.

Course Learning with Slide Presentation and Quiz Functions Among the content functions of learningBOX, there is a quiz function that is recommended to support learners' memorization and learning. Using this quiz function, learners can check the content of the slides by taking a numerical test, and the quiz function automatically grades "pass/fail" according to their performance on the test. Please refer to this article for more information on learningBOX's quiz function. For more information about the quiz function of learningBOX, please refer to this article. ➡Creating questions ➡About the test mode setting function Conclusion In this article, we introduced how to register Google Slides, which is useful for creating training materials and presentation materials, in learningBOX. Our e-learning system can register materials created with Google Slides as a single learning content. The concept of learningBOX is an e-learning system that is easy to start using in terms of both cost and operation. learningBOX is free for up to 10 users. If you want to start e-learning but are having a hard time taking the first step, we are here to help! It takes less than 5 minutes to register an account. This is a great opportunity to try our e-learning service for free!

This article provides examples of creating teaching materials for learningBOX using SCORM 1.2. Please note that some of the examples may not work outside of learningBOX (in such cases, a cautionary statement will be included). Also, please note that this article has been verified with learningBOX 2.16.14, and older versions or versions to be released in the future may not give identical results. What are SCORM materials in learningBOX? LearningBOX allows you to upload and use SCORM 1.2 compliant educational materials. (*As of learningBOX 2.16.14, uploading SCORM archives (ZIP files) consisting of multiple SCOs is not supported. Also, please note that SCORM versions other than 1.2, such as SCORM 2004, are not supported.) Back to Table of Contents Minimum SCORM Materials [File Structure In learningBOX, if the startup file is index.html, the manifest file (imsmanifest.xml: a file showing the structure in the ZIP file) is not necessary. Therefore, if only the index.html file is zipped, it can be used as SCORM material (however, the imsmanifest.xml file is required in almost all LMSs; QuizGenerator, CardGenerator, etc. require the imsmanifest.xml file for compatibility). QuizGenerator, CardGenerator, etc. output imsmanifest.xml for compatibility). Notes on creating a ZIP file When compressing educational materials into a ZIP file, please select and compress files as shown below. As in the bad example, selecting and compressing folders may create an extra folder hierarchy and cause problems. Also, in the case of Mac, if you use the OS standard ZIP archive function, extra files will be saved, so unnecessary files will be mixed in the problem! Please compress with reference to "Be careful when compressing zip on Mac" etc. API Exploration When the startup file (e.g. index.html) is loaded, the SCORM API is searched. In learningBOX 2.16 and later, the API is also provided in the preview screen of the teaching material, but the preview screen does not save the grades. Code Example The API is searched for with onload and made accessible via a variable named API in the teaching material, displaying API Found on the console if the API is found, or API not Found if it is not found. (Referred to) gist's URL: https://gist.github.com/ynishi2014/8d1d951966d12d49c1eee898b4bacc17 Execution example When mounted on learningBOX, the API for SCORM can be found, so the API is displayed as API found. If you run it on a local drive, for example, the API cannot be found, so the API not found is displayed. LMSInitialize and LMSFinish Once the API is discovered, LMSInitialize is executed. LMSFinish is executed when learning is completed. Please note that grades cannot be sent before or after LMSInitialize is executed. Code Example (Referred to) gist's URL: https://gist.github.com/ynishi2014/d44930df2eddaa2f4140aab078e5e86f Execution example When executed on learningBOX, the following is displayed. However, since the learning status (cmi.core.lesson_status) is not updated, it appears that no grades remain in learningBOX. This is because the grades with cmi.core.lesson_status browsed are treated as invalid grades in the learningBOX. SCORM materials only to be passed In LMSSetValue, set cmi.core.lesson_status to passed. Code Example (Referred to) gist's URL: https://gist.github.com/ynishi2014/4eb9a00dff3ff867d51192548471a919 Transmittable Status The values that can be sent to cmi.core.lesson_status as grades include incomplete: learning in progress completed: already learned passed: Passed failed: Failed browsed: not displayed. Behavior when not sent If you do not send grades, the following will occur Initial study: will be BROWSED (will not be displayed) Second and subsequent studies: The results from the previous study are carried over. Therefore, you need to be careful about the behavior when you close the material before the grade is determined, etc. In QuizGenerator, cmi.core.lesson_status is set to "browsed" at the beginning, so if you close the material before starting the answer, "browsed" will be recorded, It will appear that no grades are left. To check operation It is best to check with the LMS you plan to use, but since learningBOX is available free of charge and indefinitely for up to 10 users, it may be easy to use it as an environment for developing SCORM teaching materials and checking its operation. Visualize API calls Visualizing API calls can improve development efficiency. Due to the size of the article, we will summarize this in a separate article. Back to Table of Contents Information that can be sent within the SCORM 1.2 specification In addition to the status (cmi.core.lesson_status) mentioned earlier, the following grades can be sent. By sending these, you can get detailed information on how learning is progressing, which can lead to analysis of the learning situation, appropriate feedback to the learner, and improvement of the teaching materials. Score (cmi.core.score.raw) Score, in SCORM 1.2 it can be an integer from 0 to 100 in "string" format. Example API.LMSSetValue("cmi.core.score.raw", "100");API. .score.raw", score.toFixed(0)); proprietary In learningBOX, scores over 100 are allowed. For example, 105 and 400 are accepted as valid scores. However, please note that negative numbers and decimals are not accepted. Also, in LMSs other than learningBOX, scores exceeding 100 will result in an error. Time (cmi.core.session_time) This is the learning time, which in the case of learningBOX is automatically measured when LMSInitialize and LMSFinish are executed. If you want to measure more accurate learning time than the time between opening and closing the material, measure it in the material and send it to us; for QuizGenerator, only the time between starting to solve a problem and the result display screen, and for video material, only the time the video is playing is sent. The following will give you 1 hour, 2 minutes, and 3 seconds. Example API.LMSSetValue("cmi.core.session_time", "01:02:03"); Information per question A child of cmi.interactions.n. n must be specified in order from 0. Usage such as starting from 1, skipping numbers, or going back to a smaller number is prohibited. ID (cmi.interactions.n.id) ID. The grade detail screen will show the ID as shown in the red box in the screenshot below. Please note, however, that negative numbers and decimals are not allowed; if you plan to download and use grades via CSV or retrieve and use grades via API, you will need to specify the appropriate ID. latency (cmi.interactions.n.latency) The time required. The following information is displayed in the grade details screen. correct_responses (cmi.interactions.n.correct_responses.m.pattern) Example of correct responses. More than one can be specified, but only one seems to be set in most cases. objectives (cmi.interactions.n.objectives.m.id) The objective of each question, i.e., the goal or objective to be achieved. s:xxx is used for section tags, and q:xxx for question tags, which are reflected in the medical record. student_response (cmi.interactions.n.student_response) The student's response. It sends the input string, choice numbers, etc. time (cmi.interactions.n.time) Study time. The time spent on the question is sent. result (cmi.interactions.n.result) Sends a correct or wrong result. Neutral and score can also be sent. Back to Table of Contents unique extensions to learningBOX Normally, cmi.interactions.n.student_response cannot send HTML. Sending Answers in HTML Of course you can send HTML tags, but the results screen will display the HTML tags you send as is. If you specify html in cmi.interactions.n.student_response_format, cmi.interactions.n. student_response will be interpreted and displayed as HTML. However, JavaScript is restricted so that it cannot be executed. Relaxation of Character Limit Start time / End time (to be supported in 2.18 or later) This function is used to record the start and end time of the study, and will be available in learningBOX 2.18 or later. (Scheduled for release in June 2022) Back to Table of Contents Anti-pattern [Excessive LMSCommit When LMSCommit is executed, the value set in LMSSetValue is saved. In many LMSs, data is not sent to the server at LMSSetValue, but is sent to the server at the timing of LMSCommit. This is because the process of sending data to the server takes a relatively long time, and if communication were to take place each time LMSSetValue is executed, processing would be time-consuming. For example, if the number of questions is 100, the number of LMSSetValues per question is 6, and the communication delay is 10 ms, then 100 x 6 x 10 = 6000 ms, which means that it takes 6 seconds to send results. If you are using the system from overseas, the communication delay can be 10 times or more, so LMSCommit should not be executed excessively. When LMSCommit should be executed It should be executed after sending cmi.core.lesson_status or after LMSSetValue of all grades is finished. By sending "complete" to cmi.core.lesson_status and executing LMSCommit when learning has started, the grades seen by others (teachers, administrators, etc.) will change to "learning". After the LMSSetValue of all grades has been completed, LMSCommit and LMSFinish should be executed in that order. (*In learnngBOX, even if LMSCommit is not executed before LMSFinish, the process of sending grades is still executed, so LMSFinish alone is acceptable.) Do not do LMSFinish Always perform an LMSFinish at the end of the process; since the SCORM specification requires that an LMSFinish be performed, there is no guarantee of behavior if an LMSFinish is not performed. LMSSetValue without checking the implementation Not all SCORM 1.2 compliant LMSs implement all of the SCORM 1.2 specifications; the SCORM 1.2 specifications (APIs) contain a mixture of items that must be implemented and items that are allowed without implementation. Therefore, before executing LMSSetValue, you should check whether the element you are trying to send is implemented.
