Recommended for video training! What is learningBOX's video delivery system? Nice to meet you. My name is Okuda, PM (Project Manager) of the Development Department. In this article, I would like to introduce the video delivery system of learningBOX. Our e-learning system is an LMS that allows anyone to easily create teaching materials and upload video content. The delivery specifications are based on the "streaming method," which is also commonly used by delivery sites around the world. There are several methods available for learningBOX, including streaming, so we will introduce them here. Click here for the table of contents. 1. What video on demand (VOD) services are recommended for e-learning 2. Characteristics of Streaming Distribution and Download Distribution 3. Streaming technology used by LearningBox 4. Premium plan is recommended to watch videos in high quality! 5. Summary What is the recommended video on demand (VOD) service for e-learning? VOD stands for "video on demand." It is a service that allows you to watch movies and dramas at a fixed price over the Internet. This service allows you to watch movies on PCs, smartphones, tablets, game consoles, and various other devices in your home via the Internet or mobile communication lines. There are various types of VOD services, ranging from those that specialize in movies to those that distribute mostly domestic dramas. Youtube, for example, is a free video streaming service. Video distribution on the Internet Currently, video distribution over the Internet allows users to enjoy movies and dramas through subscription video services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. There are also many other types of video distribution services that allow users to participate and post their own videos, such as YouTube and Tik Tok, live streaming services such as Instalive, and webinars (webinars), which have a variety of audience sizes. The devices on which videos can be viewed also vary widely, with most of them supporting viewing on PCs, tablets, and smartphones as standard. Characteristics of Streaming Distribution and Download Distribution There are two major types of on-demand delivery: streaming delivery and download delivery. *On-demand delivery is a method in which content that has been created in advance and uploaded to a server is viewed at the timing requested by the viewer. What is Streaming Delivery? Streaming is a technology for comfortably viewing large files such as videos through communication lines. Since large data on the server is loaded little by little and played back sequentially, the viewer can watch without worrying about the time required for downloading or the HD capacity of the device. What is download distribution? Downloading is a method in which all data is downloaded to the terminal before playback begins. Before the spread of streaming, downloading was a common video delivery method. In this method, the video or other data is downloaded from the distributor to the user's terminal and then played back. Transition from downloading to streaming Just as the U.S. music market shifted from downloading to streaming around 2015, streaming has become the mainstream trend in video distribution. In the past, video data was downloaded completely to the device side, and the video file was played separately. In the past, video data was downloaded completely to the terminal side, and video files were played back separately. In addition, some systems limit the playback player or use a system linked to DRM (Digital Rights Management) to playback the data. However, with the spread of 4G and 5G lines and broadband, transmission speeds have improved year by year, and new streaming standards have emerged, and streaming distribution is being shifted to prevent storage pressure on terminals and to protect copyrights by preventing content redistribution. Of course, downloading has not disappeared, and there are still services that offer downloadable distribution. In particular, in response to the needs for offline viewing, such as "I want to watch on my tablet or smartphone even when I am out of the house and cannot connect to the Internet," some subscription-based distribution services from various companies have prepared dedicated applications that allow downloading in a way that takes content protection into consideration. Streaming technology used by learningBOX Here we introduce the delivery method used by learningBOX. The learningBOX has two versions of the Movie Player, version 1 and version 2, with different delivery formats. Version 1 uses the "progressive download method" and version 2 uses the "HLS streaming method. Let's take a look at the features of each. Progressive Download Method Progressive download, also called "pseudo-streaming," is a method in which content is actually temporarily stored in the cache of a PC or smartphone for playback. Even in poor communication environments, once the data is imported, it can be played back smoothly. On the other hand, since the content remains temporarily on the device, there are concerns about copyright protection and hard disk space consumption. HLS Streaming Method Unlike the progressive download method described above, the "streaming method" only transfers the video being played to the user and does not leave data on the terminal. Basically, as long as the Internet environment has sufficient transmission speed, smooth playback is possible, and the hard disk is not overwhelmed even during long playback times. The HLS (=HTTP Live Streaming) format is a streaming transmission protocol developed by Apple Inc. It is the most widely used streaming standard today. You can check which version of learningBOX is currently specified in the "Learning Preferences" and you can change the version. Please use it according to your environment. To view videos in high quality, we recommend the Premium Plan! The quality of video playback varies depending on the learningBOX plan you use. The higher the plan you subscribe to, the higher quality videos you can upload. No matter how high the quality of the video data you have at hand, the quality may appear inferior if the plan you have subscribed to does not apply to your plan. When using video materials, choose a plan that fits your environment so that learners can learn without stress. For more information on pricing plans, please refer to the learningBOX pricing plan here.

Our e-learning system is an LMS that allows anyone to easily create teaching materials and upload video content. Even those with no programming knowledge can easily start e-learning, and free trials are available. We also recommend this one!

Depending on the setting of the grading conditions, content can be displayed in a flexible manner. Here's an example of how to use the linked content settings! The following is an example based on the previous example of "having students take a follow-up exam if they fail a test". Before setting conditions The test is linked so that a follow-up test will be displayed if the student fails the test. Before the condition is met, the contents are not displayed. After meeting the condition of setting Since the condition "the test was failed" was met, the linked contents are now displayed.

Advantages of setting up interlocking contents The system can provide care for students who fail to pass the course material, and can set the next course material according to the learner's performance. In particular, if a learner fails to pass the course material, the system will not allow the learner to finish the course without passing it, but will set up content for review so that the learner can deepen his or her understanding of the material and avoid leaving unfamiliar parts of the course as they are. The content is not normally displayed, but hidden content can be displayed only when the learner passes or fails a particular material. This may be a good way to motivate learners to learn if special content is prepared for those who pass the material. Convenience and usable situations As discussed in the section "What is a Linked Content Setting? As discussed in the previous section, this function is mainly useful in situations where you want to have students who failed a test take a follow-up test or take a make-up class for learners who failed to pass the course material. This feature can be used to create an immediate review flow for students who have failed a test or material, without the hassle of having to go to the review material page for review. summary What do you think of the new "Interlocking Content Settings" feature we introduced this time?

In my previous article, I introduced "design customization," which allows you to customize the design of learningBOX to your liking. ⇒Please refer to the article "How to customize the design of learningBOX. In this article, we would like to recommend to our customers who would like to customize the design of learningBOX freely by themselves!

What is the "Site Customizer" function? 2. difference between design customization and site customizer function 3. how to use the Site Customizer function 4. summary What is the Site Customizer function? You can change the design of learningBOX by yourself. As with the design customization, this function is only available to those who have applied for the paid option. In this article, we would like to introduce three advantages and features that we particularly recommend when using the Site Customizer function. Three major advantages of the Site Customizer feature 1. Security and peace of mind! 2. "From mail setting" that gives users a sense of trust 3. Highly flexible design using "HTML/CSS Security is also assured! The "Advanced Login Form Settings" are easy to configure for security purposes. You can prevent the automatic entry of passwords, restrict the login of users who belong to other environments, and set login authentication keys on the login form. By setting up these functions, not only customers but also users can use e-learning with greater peace of mind. From Mail Settings" to give users a sense of trust When a customer sends an e-mail to a user, our domain address is specified by default. However, by using the "From Mail Settings", you can change the sender address for each of your sub-domains. For example, when learningBOX is used by an educational institution, the school usually sends an e-mail to the student using our domain address, By changing the From mail setting, schools are free to change the sender's address, and students can receive e-mails with peace of mind by knowing the sender's address is clear. Although we have used an educational institution as an example, it is also applicable to companies, etc., so that users can receive e-mails based on trust. ⇒For more details, please refer to the "Site Customizer" page. Highly flexible design Using the Site Customizer function, you can freely configure the design to suit your customers' preferences and usage scenarios. Design freedom is unlimited. The structure of the environment top page can be customized from scratch at the customer's discretion by using "HTML and CSS". The designs we provide for design customization are mainly constructed from a few templates that serve as the main axis of the design. By using the "Site Customizer" function, customers can build their own sites with more attention to detail. In addition, HTML and CSS can be edited and saved (uploaded) directly on the dedicated page of the Site Customizer function. This is a very convenient feature that allows for easy customization at any time. In the "System Language Settings" section, you can freely change icons and the language used during operations. The advantage of the Site Customizer function is that it can be changed quickly and easily to suit the user's needs. ⇒For more details, please refer to "How to change the design". Difference between design customization and site customizer functions In design customization, our web designers will provide you with a design proposal that suits your needs.

For customers who wish to update their pages on a regular basis, the use of the Site Customizer function is ideal. How to use the Site Customizer function To use the Site Customizer function, you need to sign a license agreement and add the same paid options as for design customization. Terms of use: learningBOX Ver. 2.15 or higher, design customization or higher. If you wish to use the Site Customizer function, please contact us using the Inquiry Form before signing the contract.

How to set up From mail not to be classified as spam First of all, SPF stands for "Sender Policy Framework," and is a security technology to prevent emails from being misidentified as spoofed emails. SPF settings can prevent the "From mail address change" available in the Customize and Site Customizer from preventing emails from reaching the learner. In this article, we will show you how to deal with From mail being sorted as junk mail. Click here for Table of Contents 1. What is SPF setting? 2. the procedure for SPF setting 3. summary What is SPF setting? This is a setting to explicitly state that this e-mail address is allowed to be delivered from this mail server. If an e-mail is delivered without SPF setting, it is more likely to be judged as spam because the "IP address" of the mail server from which the "domain" is sent cannot be authenticated. Therefore, by setting SPF, it proves that the From mail address is not "illegally used by a third party" and is less likely to be classified as junk mail. Procedure for SPF setting The SPF setting is not done from the earningBOX administration screen, but from the administration screen (DNS server) of the domain management company with which each company has a contract. The domain management company refers to the company you used to acquire your domain. By checking the domain part of your e-mail address, you can find out which domain management company you have contracted with. Apply for DNS settings with the domain management company You need to apply for DNS settings with your domain management company. DNS is a system for managing and operating domain names. Please refer to the page of each domain management company for the application procedure. 2. configure SPF on the DNS settings screen Our learningBOX uses "Amazon SES" mail servers. Enter the following information on the management screen of the domain management company to configure SPF settings. *As for the host part, it will be blank or @ depending on the DNS service. If your domain already has an SPF record, add an Amazon SES include statement before ~all using the following format "v=spf1 existing settings include:amazonses.com ~all" To configure SPF settings at Name.com Configure the SPF settings from the control panel of Name.com. For Name.com, please refer to the support information on Name.com for more details. To configure SPF settings on Xserver Conclusion In this issue, we introduced SPF settings to prevent From mail from being classified as spam. IT terms such as "SPF" and "DNS" may sound difficult to understand, but it is possible to prevent discrepancies in perception between administrators and learners, such as "I thought I sent a From mail, but it was classified as junk mail and did not reach the learner. In addition, countermeasures against "spoofed e-mails" are essential to increase the delivery rate of e-mails to learners. Among them, SPF settings are important as a mechanism to clear suspicions of abuse of e-mail addresses. The Customize and Site Customizer functions are paid options that allow you to freely change e-mail addresses including the sender (From) for each subdomain. By clarifying the sender, learners can receive e-mails with peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in this service.

Features and Benefits of Design Customization What are the advantages of customizing the design of the learningBOX? Here we will discuss two from the perspective of "the provider of educational materials" and "the user. Advantages for providers of educational materials: "Individuality can be expressed". As lightly mentioned at the beginning of this article, it is possible to create one-of-a-kind educational materials by customizing the design of the top page and login screen of the learning environment. By incorporating your own originality, you can make the design suitable for commercial use and appeal to external users with your uniqueness. While the content of the educational materials is of course important, freely changing the top page and login screen can give users a sense of trust, and other benefits can be seen regarding the relationship between the "provider" of the educational materials and the "users. Advantages on the user side: "Driving user motivation" By setting a background image for the top page or when logging in, etc., users can be told more attractively "What are the educational materials?" The user can be more attracted to the educational material. No matter how good the content of the educational materials is, if users are not interested and motivated, they will not be able to make the most of the materials. By designing the parts of the website that users often see in an interesting way, you can motivate them to use the materials. According to an experiment, people are more likely to use a product if it looks beautiful. It may only be a mere appearance, but it is estimated that design has a great influence on people.
