You can learn more about the rich content features and usage of *learningBOX in this article. learningBOX is also used with great success in our corporate training programs! When new employees join our company, all of them start their training using learningBOX. They undergo "basic new employee training" and "CS (customer support) training" to understand the knowledge required for internal operations and company rules. New Employee Basic Training New employee basic training covers basic information about the company, such as business operations, employment regulations, company rules, tools used in business operations, and information security. The learningBOX is equipped with a "course setting" function that allows you to advance to the next question after you pass a particular question. Therefore, you must pass and understand the questions before you can move on to the next. The training itself is basically a one-person program, so you can proceed at your own pace. CS (Customer Support) Training After learning how to reply to e-mails and how to write sentences, participants submit a report on how they think about the contents of e-mail replies to actual inquiries from customers about learningBOX and QuizGenerator in the past. The objective of CS training is to "deepen understanding of the functions and services of learningBOX and QuizGenerator," and all employees, not just CS staff, take part in the training. We have also introduced CS training in detail in our internal case study. Please take a look at this article. We would like to show you a small sample of the learningBOX learning screen! Here is a sample of learningBOX learning materials. When you log in to learningBOX, you will find working manuals and sample courses that administrators can use to create content with confidence in advance. A new member of our company gave us a concrete and easy-to-understand summary of his impressions after taking the learningBOX training course for new employees. This article is also very informative for those who are considering implementing e-learning! Advantages of e-Learning for Corporate Training E-learning can significantly change the learning environment within a company. The following are some of the benefits that eLearning offers to learners Learners can study at their own convenience Conducting a regular training course requires preparation of instructors and a training location, so the date, time, and place are set in detail. 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 by utilizing the little time they have between tasks or during leisure time. The ability to learn "anytime, 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 them 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. Easy evaluation of training Self-analysis is essential for learning to lead to growth. However, evaluating one's own learning requires preparation and procedures that are difficult to maintain and often lead to frustration. 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. For more information on the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning and learningBOX, please refer to this article. Conclusion In this article, we introduced how to proceed with corporate training using our e-learning system, learningBOX, and its functions. We hope that you will consider our learningBOX for your company's educational reforms, including corporate training and training for new employees. In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, it has become difficult to conduct group training. However, in order for a company to continue to grow, it is important to create a system that supports each employee in learning and fosters an attitude and organizational culture that flexibly responds to change and challenges. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about e-learning implementation! Online meetings for introduction support are also available!

A study method that gets results in a short time! E-learning is the best way to prepare for the exam! This is Kidaoka, Marketing Manager. This article is for those who are studying for school tests, certification exams, or other examinations and are wondering if their study methods are correct or not, or those who are having trouble reaching a passing score. In this article, we also explain the key concepts of learning methods and the mechanism of memory, which is closely related to remembering things. Using our e-learning system, learningBOX, you can easily create "learning tailored to your own objectives and goals" on the web according to the situation of use. Click here for the table of contents 1. What is the learning method utilizing e-learning? 2. Effective learning methods based on the brain's memory mechanism LearningBOX's test creation function is recommended for memory consolidation 4. Summary What is the learning method using e-learning? E-learning is a method of learning and training via the Internet using digital devices such as computers. By utilizing e-learning, students can learn effectively during "travel time and spare time" outside of school hours. Features of e-Learning In recent years, with the spread of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, many learning applications have been developed. However, it is difficult for all learning apps to be used directly as learning materials in schools, and many educators have probably had their heads turned. Unlike learning apps, e-learning allows students to "create and edit" their own learning materials and exam questions, and collect detailed performance information and data on each student. With the spread of the Internet and advances in information technology, companies, schools, and society as a whole have high expectations for its potential in terms of ease of use and learning effectiveness. E-Learning Learning Rapidly Advancing in the Wake of the New Coronavirus Conventional learning methods involve "person-to-person" education, in which an instructor gives a lecture directly to the student at a specific place and time. In contrast, e-learning is a learning style that enables students to "receive education anytime, anywhere, anytime and anytime" via a network of terminals such as PCs, tablets, and smartphones. It is a system that combines IT and information technology, and is used in the same sense as "educational IT" and "web learning/online learning" because it is learning via a network. For more information on e-learning, please refer to this article. Effective learning methods based on the brain's memory mechanism Our brain stores information in two areas: the hippocampus, which temporarily stores memories, and the cerebral cortex, which stores information for the long term and can utilize it when necessary. Newly learned information is once stored in the hippocampus, and only that which is deemed necessary is sent to the cortex. Information that comes in through the eyes, ears, and other sensory organs is temporarily stored in the hippocampus, a region deep in the brain, but most of it disappears. Because the brain is constantly receiving large amounts of information, it is necessary to determine the value and priority of the information and discard it. Three processes are essential to the memory process The memory process can be divided into three stages: inscription, retention, and recall. Inscription is the process of converting information from an external stimulus into meaning and capturing it as a memory, retention is the process of storing what has been inscribed, and recall is the process of outputting the stored memory after a certain period of time. Memory is a process that involves the following three steps: remembering ⇒ keeping ⇒ recalling. Effective Learning Methods Derived from the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve is a curve that shows the degree of "savings" in long-term memory. It is a graph that shows how much of what you have memorized remains in your mind over time. The "savings rate" is a percentage that indicates how much time is saved in terms of the time it takes to completely re-memorize the content once memorized. Hypotheses and findings derived from the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve ▼ Key points from the experiment The more time passes, the longer it takes people to recall, and relearning at an earlier stage decreases the time and burden of recall. In addition, the potential memory retention period is thought to be about 30 days, during which time it is important to review. In order to remember, it is also important to repeat the same content over and over again. Furthermore, an output-oriented learning method is effective in order to increase the chances of recall. Repetitive learning is effective for memory retention. As can be seen from the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, memory becomes more forgettable with the passage of time, and most of what we remember disappears unconsciously. The key to memory retention is the timing of review. People often say, "Review before you forget," but this is actually a big mistake. This is because memories are more likely to stick when you are trying your best to remember them. Data show that memories are more likely to stick in brain circuits when output is repeated rather than input. This hypothesis is supported by experiments conducted by Dr. Karpik at the University of Washington. The experiment conducted by Dr. Karpik is described in detail in this article. LearningBOX's test creation function is recommended for memory retention! Testing is a good way to consolidate memory, but it can be a daunting task to administer a test every time. If this is the case, try creating a test using our e-learning system! learningBOX allows anyone to easily create the tests needed for output on the web. It is easy to create, and you can set up the question text, answers, and explanations according to a dedicated form. About the Test Creation Feature Using the test creation function, you can easily set a limit on the number of times a test can be taken and the date and time when the test will be open to the public. You can also display or hide the results of students who are taking a test, depending on your needs.

IT Reforms in Local Governments for the Realization of a Digital Society Hello, I am Morishita of the Development Department. It will soon be a year and a half since I joined Tatsuno Information Systems. These days, I spend most of my time writing programs! Recently, I am grateful for the presence of PM (Project Manager) and manage to struggle with difficult tasks. We are looking for someone with PM experience. Would you like to work with us? ▼ Now to the main topic! In this article, I would like to share with you some of the initiatives and trends toward the realization of digitalization in government, where the use of IT is lagging behind. In the response to the new coronavirus infection, there have been various issues such as insufficient utilization of cross-sectional data among regions and organizations. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) has recommended that national and local government systems be unified/standardized for the digitization of local administration. In the Digital Reform Bill approved by the Cabinet on March 9, the government proposes to mandate the unification of business system specifications by FY2025 in order to accelerate the digitization of public administration by promoting the unification of local government systems and the use of My Number. (See: Standardization of Municipal Information Systems|from Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) Click here for table of contents 1. Standardization of Local Government Information Systems 2. My Number System, the Foundation for the Digitization of Public Administration 3. Use of My Number to be Expanded to School Education in FY2023 4. Linking My Number to e-Learning Systems 5. Summary Standardization of Local Government Information Systems In the response to the new coronavirus, various issues regarding digitization were revealed, including delays in digitization and lack of human resources at national and local governments, administrative inefficiencies resulting from inadequate system coordination, cumbersome procedures, and delays in delivery of benefits. The development of ICT in recent years, as represented by the Internet, has been remarkable, and while many digitalization platforms for efficient organizational management and convenient and safe service provision through the use of IT have already been implemented in the private sector, they are still far from sufficient in local governments. For more information on ICT, please refer to this article. The Importance of Digitization in Local Governments In an aging society with a declining birthrate, people must concentrate on tasks that only people can do, and actively digitize those areas that can be digitized. The use of digital technology will lead to the creation of a system that facilitates the implementation of "management and analysis of information collection and effective actions with a high level of evidence," which local governments have been weak at in the past. The promotion of digitalization is expected to have the effect of increasing the management awareness and monetization mindset of local governments. However, it is also true that the degree of utilization of digital technology varies markedly among many municipalities. The concept of "Digital Transformation (DX)" is now attracting attention. Companies are expected to break away from existing businesses and create new value by utilizing new digital technologies. The promotion of the digitization of all socioeconomic activities by the public is not merely the introduction of new technologies, but the transformation of systems, policies, and the way organizations are organized, etc., in line with the new technologies. For more information on digital transformation (DX), please refer to this article. Government Initiatives for Digitalization The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) has proposed that local governments be obliged to adopt core information systems within a transition period as a way to accelerate the unification and standardization of local government business systems, and to set a target date and create an environment in which local governments can begin preparing for the transition. According to a survey conducted by the Information and Communication Research Institute in 2016, the implementation rate of ICT utilization projects exceeded 601 TP2T in the fields of "education, disaster prevention, and crime prevention," while the rate was only about 201 TP2T in the fields of infrastructure, industrial promotion, and employment. ▼Survey and research on the current status of ICT utilization in the region (2017) Source: Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications|From ICT Utilization by Sector About the My Number System, which is the foundation for the digitization of public administration In his policy speech at the 203rd session of the Diet (extraordinary session) on October 26, 2020, Prime Minister Kan advocated the promotion of digitization of national and local government administration by breaking down the stove-piping between ministries and agencies and local governments. In addition, he proposed that the My Number Card be distributed to almost all citizens within two and a half years, that the integration of the health insurance card and the My Number Card begin in March 2021, and that the digitalization of driver's licenses be promoted. Purpose of the My Number System The My Number System aims to "realize a fair and just society," "improve convenience for citizens," and "enhance administrative efficiency" by utilizing the number as a common social infrastructure. The My Number system will be introduced based on the four number-related laws enacted and promulgated in May 2013, including the Law Concerning the Use of the Number to Identify Specific Individuals in Administrative Procedures (hereinafter referred to as "Number Law"). Use of My Number will be expanded to school education in FY2023. The My Number system is being promoted at the initiative of the government, and recently, its use in the field of education is being considered. In the education field, it is planned to link learner IDs, which are necessary for the utilization of learning histories that are the focus of the GIGA school concept, to My Number and make them available to families and schools that wish to use them starting in FY2023. What is the GIGA School Concept? GIGA School is an initiative launched by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology that aims to realize "education tailored to the individuality of each child. It is a five-year plan to provide each student receiving compulsory education with a personal computer and a high-speed network environment. In addition, an "e-learning system" will be introduced to support the work of teachers and staff, with the aim of reforming their work styles. This plan, launched in December 2019, is an effort to realize effective learning in the new era through the improvement and utilization of the ICT environment. The importance of this initiative is becoming increasingly important in the wake of the recent Corona disaster, and educational institutions are also undergoing IT reforms. Information Linkage in the My Number System Information linkage under the My Number System is a system that allows residents to omit documents (copies of residence certificates, taxation certificates, etc.) submitted to administrative agencies for various procedures by exchanging personal information between different administrative agencies, etc. using a dedicated information provision network system. The government plans to verify the linkage between the my number card and the learner ID of the educational support tool (LMS) introduced by each school starting in FY2010 with the target year of 2023. Regarding operation in school education Many people change the organization they belong to over time throughout their lives, from elementary school to university, study abroad, employment, and so on. However, since each individual's learning history and achievements exist separately, it takes an enormous amount of time and effort to compile records of what they actually "learned" and "worked on" there. If data can be accumulated not only on school learning history but also on work performance, it will be useful for a wide range of purposes, such as improving treatment within the company or changing jobs, and will motivate working people to continue learning. If a learner ID can be identified by personal identification using a personal number card, it will be possible to update one's learning history on a daily basis anytime and anywhere, and to easily carry it with one when needed. In fact, this kind of initiative was mentioned at the Keidanren EdTech Strategy Study Group in March 2020, where the necessity of "building and utilizing a system for recording learning history" and the usefulness of "data linkage using learner IDs" were discussed. Regarding learner IDs, the current situation is that private companies issue IDs for each of their services and products. As a result, it is a time-consuming operation that requires reviewing data linkage due to class changes, etc. Therefore, by establishing a mechanism that allows single sign-on with a single ID (assuming the OAuth mechanism is in place) and linking with IDs issued by private companies, it will be possible to use learning products provided by private companies. Furthermore, if the IDs can be extended to include the accumulation of learning logs, it will be possible to construct a mechanism to record learning histories and to compare and analyze the collected data. One idea would be to use the student's personal ID number as the ID for this purpose.

Currently, various e-Learning systems are used by different organizations. learningBOX is an LMS (Learning Management System) that can be easily set up even by first-time users learningBOX, Tatsuno Information System's LMS, is designed not from the developer's perspective, but from the user's perspective. learningBOX is an e-learning system that anyone can use easily. It is a learning management system with all the functions required for an e-learning system, including "creation of teaching materials, creation of questions and tests, and grading and grade management. ▼learningBOX's external linkage functions are explained in detail here. Benefits and Expectations of e-Learning Systems Once an e-Learning system is in place to continuously accumulate individual learning histories, it will be useful for analysis and forecasting. Schools can use the learning data of enrolled students to measure the effectiveness of education, and companies can analyze the relationship between personnel evaluations at the hiring stage and after employment, and between internal training and performance. Conclusion In this article, we have introduced trends in the digitization of government administration toward the realization of digitalization of local governments. The My Number system is being promoted at the initiative of the government, and recently it is also being considered for use in the education sector. One of the requirements for e-learning systems to be adopted by many organizations in the future is "whether or not it is a flexible LMS that can be externally linked. In the turbulent post-Corona era, the emphasis is on the ability to utilize diverse human resources with different ideas and abilities within an organization, and organizations that can shift from conventional homogenized learning to "individually optimized learning" will survive. The mission of e-learning systems also lies in this point, and it is a sobering thought every day. We are working hard to develop highly flexible e-learning systems that meet the needs of our customers. We plan to continue developing more convenient features in the future! If you are considering implementing an e-learning system, we hope you will consider our learningBOX as well.

E-learning can make a dramatic difference! What are the advantages and disadvantages of introducing it? My name is Kidaoka, and I am in charge of marketing. In this article, we will discuss the "merits and demerits" of implementing e-learning. The introduction of e-learning has many advantages not only for the company that operates it, but also for the participants. The new coronavirus has led to the shift to IT in society as a whole, and the need for online classes and online training is on the rise. Even in the future with-corona era, schools and companies will need to train people. E-learning has its advantages and disadvantages, but what we are concerned about is the actual results after the introduction of the system. By understanding the "advantages and disadvantages" of e-learning in advance, you can make preparations for using it for different purposes and enhancing learning effectiveness. In this paper, we will explain in detail what kind of effects can be expected from the use of e-Learning. Click here for Table of Contents 1. Background to the Growing Demand for e-Learning 2. Advantages and disadvantages of e-Learning 3. How to introduce e-learning 4. Introduction of learningBOX case studies 5. Summary Background of the growing demand for e-learning Due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection, many companies have begun to consider and introduce teleworking. The Japanese government is also encouraging telework to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. In addition, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, it has become difficult to conduct group training. However, in order for a company to continue to grow, it is important to create a system that fosters a flexible attitude and organizational climate in which each employee is willing to take on challenges in learning. In order to solve these social conditions and problems, "e-learning learning" is now attracting a great deal of attention. Characteristics of e-Learning E-learning is a learning system that uses electronic devices such as PCs and smartphones and the Internet to enable students to "improve their skills at their own pace, unrestricted by time or place. Advantages and Disadvantages of e-Learning In order to demonstrate the benefits of introducing e-Learning, it is most important to make sure that it is well utilized in in-house training programs. When considering the introduction of e-Learning for training, certification, and school education, understanding the advantages and disadvantages will make the introduction and operation go smoothly. We have compiled a list of possible customer utilization scenarios, so let's take a quick look. E-learning for in-house training Once a learning environment has been created, e-learning can be used repeatedly. Therefore, it has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of in-house group training and training for new employees. The following costs are incurred when conducting group training Transportation costs incurred when gathering participants at the training venue. 2. venue costs incurred in order to conduct the training 3. Printing and distribution costs for training materials 4. expenses for outside lecturers who will be in charge of the training Conducting training via e-learning can reduce the time and costs associated with venue expenses and course textbook distribution. It can also provide flexible learning opportunities for people with irregular working hours or mid-career hires, who would otherwise be difficult to accommodate with group training. E-Learning in School Education E-learning learning can be easily exported from the delivery system, LMS (Learning Management System). The learning history file stores data necessary for learning management, such as learning progress (not yet / in progress / completed, etc.), time of implementation, time required, test scores, etc. E-learning can also quantify the performance data here and display it in a graph. ▼ Advantages in School Education 1. Students can study anytime, anywhere at their own convenience. 2. Students can study according to their level of understanding and learning progress. 3. Easy to grasp the grade data and grade management You can take as many preparatory, review, and re-study courses as you like. E-learning is a very suitable learning method for qualification acquisition, preparation for examinations, and overcoming weak subjects, because you can study at your own pace and repeat as many times as you like. Disadvantages of e-Learning Because each learner has to make time for the e-learning course, there is a possibility that the motivation and desire to learn may be difficult to sustain on one's own. There may be cases where learners do not study because they are too busy with their work. Unlike group training, which provides semi-forced learning opportunities, it is important for learners to actively engage in learning. Therefore, companies need to take measures to keep learners motivated, such as incorporating gamification elements into learning and creating a community among learners. The advantages and disadvantages of e-learning can be briefly summarized as follows How to implement e-learning Based on the advantages and disadvantages of e-Learning, many of you who are considering actually implementing e-Learning may be wondering how to go about it. Here we would like to focus on the advantages of creating e-Learning materials in-house. Creating e-Learning materials in-house E-learning systems can be produced in-house. The main things you will need are the learning management system I mentioned earlier and learning materials for e-learning created with slides and other materials. One of the advantages of in-house production is the ability to create training content unique to the company. The easier it is to upload, the less work is required to create content and the more regularly it can be updated. If you are considering using e-Learning for training, but are not sure whether to create the materials in-house or outsource them, please take a look here. Advantages of Creating e-Learning Materials In-House First of all, outsourcing requires a lot of time and money to revise the materials once they are created. The disadvantages of outsourcing are the same in any field, but once created, revisions and updates are costly in terms of additional fees and time and effort to request them. 2. when created in-house, we can easily create and modify it ourselves. On the other hand, if you create the materials in-house, you can easily create and revise them yourself, and you can control the maintenance of the materials after they are created. If you are creating your own materials, the ease of use of eLearning is critical! When creating e-Learning materials in-house, isn't the most important point to make the materials easy to use? If you want to create your own e-learning materials, the most important thing is to be able to create them easily, isn't it? One of the concepts of learningBOX is "a system that allows anyone to easily build a web-based learning environment. Have you ever had the experience of not knowing how to operate a new tool or application, or having the feeling that it is different from what you expected? I often do. It is a great feeling when you find a system or application that is easy to use. ▼learningBOX is an LMS that focuses on ease of use and low cost. LearningBOX is designed to be intuitive and easy to operate without manuals, so that administrators creating e-learning materials do not feel stressed when using it. ▼learningBOX also allows you to sell the content you create through EC!

These factors are estimated to have a positive impact on market growth in the coming years. Changes in BtoB and BtoC The e-learning market size in FY 2019 continues to expand steadily with a steady increase in the number of users and diversification of services offered. In BtoB, the market will gain momentum from the revitalization of corporate investment in human resource development. In FY2019, the size of the domestic e-learning market is expected to increase 7.7% year-on-year to ¥235.4 billion. The breakdown is 68.4 billion yen (+5.2% YoY) for the BtoB market for corporations (including individuals within companies and organizations) and 167 billion yen (+8.8% YoY) for the BtoC market for individuals, and both markets are expected to continue expanding. Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market In the BtoB market, e-learning has penetrated more industries and companies than ever before due to the diversification of learning tools with the popularization of smartphones and tablet devices, the evolution of video content, and the ease of use of e-learning due to the development of cloud environments, combined with the revitalization of corporate human resource development needs. e-Learning has penetrated more industries and companies than ever before. Steady sales growth in the BtoC market The size of the domestic e-learning market in FY2020 is forecast to increase 4.5% over the previous year to 246 billion yen. In the current fiscal year, both BtoB and BtoC markets are expected to see an increase in the number of e-learning users as the impact of the new coronavirus infection increases demand for distance learning. Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market The BtoC market will see a steady increase in the number of users and the generalization of e-learning as a form of personal learning, due to the penetration of learning styles utilizing smartphones, tablets, and SNS, the evolution of services provided by improved information communication technology, and the emergence of learning services using AI (Artificial Intelligence). The number of users is steadily increasing, and the environment is progressing to generalize e-learning as one of the forms of personal learning. Both the BtoB and BtoC markets are expected to continue to expand in the future. E-learning will be used more and more in 2021 E-learning, which makes full use of multimedia materials such as video and audio as well as text and slides, has many application scenarios. E-learning is a form of learning that is still evolving, and it is also a field in which new methods of utilization are being tested. E-learning has the potential to provide "optimal learning for each student," which has been an issue in traditional schools. Obtaining qualifications through e-learning By offering national qualifications, private courses, and certification exams as e-learning, even busy businesspeople can make effective use of their spare time to study, and they can repeat difficult-to-understand sections as many times as they like in their own time. Many of the certification exams and courses that used to require attending lectures at certification schools are now offered through e-learning. Language Learning with e-Learning As with certification acquisition, learning a foreign language used to be done by making an appointment and attending a school. However, as with the acquisition of qualifications, this also had the disadvantage that it was difficult for working people with jobs to continue attending school, and one-on-one lessons, which enhance the learning effect, are expensive. For language acquisition, where continuous learning is important, online learning through e-learning is expected to become the mainstream in the future. Human Resource Development through e-Learning The conventional learning style, including schools, is based on group learning, where participants gather at a predetermined time and place, and the same is true for corporate employee training. Corporate training is not always held like a school. Preparation and costs for new employees and in-house training tend to be high, and it is difficult to manage the learning progress of each participant. To solve these problems, e-learning is attracting attention from companies. E-learning is ideal for corporate employee training, as it allows employees to learn in their spare time without putting pressure on work hours, and the progress can be easily monitored by managers. In addition to having employees take in-house training courses related to business skills, management, and sales, some companies have established their own learning management systems to optimize employee education with original content. ▼ The features of e-learning can be briefly summarized as follows 1. The same quality of education can be provided to a large number of trainees. 2. Optimal education can be provided according to the learning progress of each participant. 3. Significantly reduce the cost of education. 4. Keep the educational content up-to-date. Let's create "training, examinations, and correspondence courses" with learningBOX! learningBOX is an e-learning creation system that focuses on "ease of use" and "low cost. It is an LMS with all the functions necessary for e-learning, including the creation of teaching materials, questions and tests, and grading and grade management.

Introduction support online meetings are also available. Conclusion In this article, we introduced the current status and future trends of the e-learning market in 2021. Today, when information from all over the world can be obtained in an instant through the Internet, it can be said that the globalization of not only the economy but also all "things" and "matters" is accelerating. The reason why more and more companies are focusing on strategic human resource development is to respond quickly to the changes brought about by globalization, and e-learning is the best solution to achieve this. On the other hand, children and students who will have to cope with the drastic changes brought about by globalization also need to develop the ability to think independently and acquire the ability to respond and adapt in a short period of time. The best solution for this is e-learning and adaptive learning.

The Growing Market Size of e-Learning as Demand Grows My name is Kidaoka, and I am in charge of marketing. Online learning using e-learning systems has been attracting a great deal of attention as a means of preventing the spread of the new coronavirus. This is due to the fact that, in addition to measures to prevent coronavirus infection, the traditional methods of employee education, such as group training and on-the-job training, are becoming less and less effective. The research firm Yano Research Institute Ltd. (Nakano, Tokyo) has released a document that forecasts the domestic e-learning market to grow by 4.51 TP2T year-on-year to 246 billion yen in FY2020. According to the data, the demand for online learning is expected to continue even after the spread of the new coronavirus is under control, and the institute analyzed that the provision of learning services using the Internet, such as remote classes and online classes, will become more active at tutoring schools and other institutions where face-to-face classes are not available. In this article, we will introduce the background and reasons why e-learning learning is needed in the coming years.

The breakdown is 68.4 billion yen (+5.2% YoY) for the BtoB market for corporations (including individuals within companies and organizations) and 167 billion yen (+8.8% YoY) for the BtoC market for individuals, and both markets are expected to continue expanding. Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market According to the article, this shows that the e-learning market is growing in size for both BtoB and BtoC. In the BtoB market, e-learning has penetrated more industries and companies than ever before due to the diversification of learning tools with the generalization of smartphones and tablet devices, the evolution of video content, and the ease of use of e-learning due to the development of cloud environments, combined with the revitalization of corporate human resource development needs. e-Learning has penetrated more industries and companies than ever before. What is BtoB? BtoB (Business to Business) refers to business-to-business transactions, in which a company provides goods or services to another company. Sales are also growing steadily in the BtoC market. In FY2020, the size of the domestic e-learning market is forecast to increase 4.5% over the previous year to 246 billion yen. In the current fiscal year, both BtoB and BtoC are expected to increase the number of e-learning users, as the impact of the new coronavirus infection will boost demand for distance learning. Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market The BtoC market is expected to see a steady increase in the number of users and the generalization of e-learning as a form of personal learning, due to the penetration of learning styles utilizing smartphones, tablets, and SNS, the evolution of services provided by improved information communication technology, and the emergence of learning services using AI (Artificial Intelligence). The number of users is steadily increasing, and the environment is progressing to generalize e-learning as one of the forms of personal learning. Both the BtoB and BtoC markets are expected to continue to expand in the future. What is BtoC? BtoC (Business to Consumer) refers to transactions in which companies provide goods and services to individuals. For example, BtoC refers to companies that sell goods to general consumers, such as consumer electronics manufacturers, apparel companies, and department stores. Reference: In FY2019, the domestic e-learning market size will continue to expand due to a steady increase in the number of users and diversification of services offered. e-Learning is attracting attention as a means of employee training. Many companies are interested in using e-learning to provide learning and training for their employees. However, some of them may be unsure whether their company is the right environment for e-learning and whether it is effective. Why are companies paying attention to e-learning? Let us summarize the reasons. 1: Repetitive learning is possible at any time and any place, and can be adapted to employees' spare time. With the current diversification of work styles, there is a demand for a training style that can be implemented in accordance with employees' timing, regardless of location and time, rather than the traditional uniform employee training. With e-learning, you can simply replace the materials with the latest ones and have everyone take the most up-to-date course. 2: Minimize the amount of money and time spent on human resource development Companies that used to conduct group training often incur large costs for each training session, including venue, transportation, and lodging expenses. In addition, with group training, the education is conducted on an ad hoc basis, and when there are questions later on, the only thing that can be relied on is the minutes of the meeting. However, with e-learning, similar training can be delivered to people in remote locations via the Internet, and an increasing number of companies are using e-learning as a way to reduce costs.

In addition, the size of the venue may limit the number of participants, and if more instructors are needed to accommodate the number of participants, the cost may increase accordingly. It takes time to implement the training: ・・・・・ For a training program with a large number of participants, it takes a certain number of days to select a location, adjust the schedule, and plan the content of the training program in order to make the training meaningful.
