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. To summarize the problems with traditional training It is costly in terms of human and time costs: ・・・・・ Costs are incurred due to securing instructors, participants leaving their normal work duties, and scheduling. 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. Advantages of e-Learning Easier management of student learning ・Running costs can be reduced. Less time and effort required for advance preparation Unify the quality of education Here are some of the many ways e-learning learning is being used! E-learning is an Internet-based learning method. Learning content, such as videos stored on a server (learning management system), is delivered to students, who take courses using Internet-enabled PCs, tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices. Therefore, as long as there is an e-learning environment, each student can study at his or her own time and place. E-learning has many advantages, but it may be difficult to determine whether it can be used effectively and whether it is suitable for your company. So, how is e-Learning actually used in companies? Here are some examples of how it is used. Use in corporate training for new employees Many companies are introducing e-learning for the purpose of training new employees. The use of e-learning reduces the time and cost required for the training of new employees, and it can also be used to measure the progress of the trainees' learning and achievements, which can be used to make decisions regarding their subsequent assignment to a new company. Use as an internal information sharing tool Some companies introduce e-Learning for the purpose of sharing materials and questionnaires. E-learning is a very useful tool for simultaneously sending and collecting tests and questionnaires for employees. Another important feature of e-Learning is that it can be used according to the level of the organization, department, or individual in the company to provide education tailored to each individual.

Motivate your students to learn! Learn how to create e-learning materials! My name is Kidaoka, and I am in charge of marketing. In this article, we will discuss the important points to consider when starting an e-learning program, including how to choose an e-learning system, tips for creating original content, and techniques for motivating students to learn! E-learning is not just a matter of implementing e-learning, but it is also a matter of how to make your e-learning system work for you. The problems of e-learning providers vary from company to company, such as "e-learning has not taken root in the company," "the operation and system are complicated and difficult to manage," and "the learning does not last long. On the other hand, there are many cases where e-learning has been highly effective. The first step to a successful e-learning implementation is to choose the right e-learning system. The most appropriate form of e-learning differs from company to company, school to school, and service to service. In recent years, more and more companies are creating their own original e-learning materials in-house instead of using commercially available content, and the key is to create content that keeps learners engaged and interested. Click here for the table of contents 1. how to choose the best e-Learning/LMS 2. the secret to creating content that keeps learners engaged 3. the latest techniques for motivating learners 4. learningBOX content features 5. summary How to choose the best e-learning and LMS When selecting an e-Learning system, it is important for the person in charge to carefully assess the "scale, form, and usage" of the e-Learning system that is appropriate for his/her company or school. What is the purpose of implementing e-Learning?　⇒ "What kind of e-learning is appropriate for that purpose? and choose an e-learning system keeping in mind the purpose for which your company is adopting the system. Three important points when choosing an e-Learning/LMS When selecting an e-learning system, we refer to e-learning functions, effectiveness of implementation, case studies of actual implementation, support content, and cost (price). In addition, why don't you also refer to the other three points we are about to introduce? Choose a service from a long-term perspective When selecting an e-Learning/LMS service, proceed in light of your company's current situation and challenges. While selecting a system that fits your current situation, there is no guarantee that your needs will not change in the future. A mid- to long-term perspective is also very important. Who is going to use e-learning? In order to utilize e-learning and LMS services in an optimal manner to address your company's issues, you need to develop an education plan that is optimized to meet the objectives of who (which department) will be in charge, on what themes, and for whom e-learning will be utilized. Consider ease of use for employees taking the course. When implementing an e-learning/LMS service, HR personnel should be careful not to think about the functions and usability from the perspective of the person in charge of the course, rather than from the perspective of the employees who will be taking the course. It is necessary to examine usability from the user's perspective, taking into consideration the need to learn how to operate and set up the system from the perspective of the employees who will be taking the course and, depending on the function, the person in charge of onsite training. What is LMS? An LMS (Learning Management System) is a system that creates, registers, and distributes learning materials necessary for implementing e-learning, and manages learners' learning progress and grades. Application Examples In the case of qualification test preparation In the case of learning to acquire qualifications, repetitive learning is an important point. Using a lecture video learned on a PC at home and then watching it again on a smartphone while commuting to work or school, or watching the rest of the lecture, enhances learning continuity. We recommend an e-learning system that supports multiple devices and responsive design for smooth learning across multiple devices. For Training at Medical Institutions E-learning at medical institutions requires not only a learning environment, but also centralized management of the learning history and qualification acquisition status of a large number of medical staff. In addition, the entire organization must share information on a wide range of knowledge related to patient care and life, such as disease names, medical record information, and knowledge of drugs used in treatment. In these cases, an e-learning system with strong learning history management and easy interactive communication within the system is required. Corporate Training The content and scale of training varies from company to company, such as personnel transfers and assessments, so an e-learning system with a certain degree of flexibility and customization is necessary. In some cases, the e-learning system must be linked to the personnel database. If the e-learning system that you have taken the trouble to introduce is rejected because it is "somehow difficult to use," "hard to understand," or "complicated and difficult to operate," it will not be suitable for long-term operation and company growth. It may become a temporary, ad hoc learning experience. In all cases, the one thing that must be kept in mind is the ease of use of the e-learning system. It is important that the system is intuitive and easy to understand, not only for the learner but also for the administrator! The Secret to Creating Content that Keeps Learners Engaged There are many commercially available learning contents that are essential for e-learning. However, each company or school has its own learning content and training style. Therefore, there are cases where it is inevitable to create original learning materials. When creating original materials in-house, the ability to create content that keeps learners engaged is an important point in operating the e-learning system. Many people who are in charge of e-learning encounter this obstacle after implementing a system. Here are some tips for creating engaging content from the learner's point of view. Create easy-to-understand titles Choose words with a clear and attractive title in mind for each content. This is an important point to encourage learners' desire to learn. Avoid difficult words and try to use titles that make the content easy to understand at a glance. With learningBOX, titles can be recognized at a glance From the content management screen, you can freely set course titles, thumbnail images, title names, and explanatory text. Learners can grasp the contents of the course material at a glance, allowing them to proceed smoothly to the training session. Add interactive devices! Interactive refers to "interactive information dissemination" and "a form of communication that allows information exchange rather than one-way communication. Make conscious efforts to create learning materials that attract learners' interest by utilizing audio, video, and animation in your learning materials. You will be amazed at how much more crisp and clear the learning materials can be than if there were none. learningBOX can handle a wide variety of content learningBOX has a wide variety of content functions. You can combine the functions and features of each content to transform a boring or boring training course into a highly original teaching material. ➡How to Use Content Management Be aware of origins and endings Define the objectives and goals of the course content, and design a course that will not get lost during the training. Creating materials with this in mind will turn on the learner's "learning switch"! Make the introductory part easy and make it progressively more difficult to create a flow that allows learners to learn without strain. Don't forget to include a confirmation test or summary at the end to consolidate knowledge! Using the learningBOX... Constraints can be set. This function allows you to set up prerequisites, such as the next problem to be solved after a specific problem is passed, from two conditions. ▼With the constraint bar in place, learners will not be able to proceed unless they have completed and passed the content. The Latest Methods to Increase Learning Motivation The advantage of e-learning is that learners can learn anytime, anywhere, at their own time and pace. However, on the other hand, it is said to be difficult to keep learners motivated. Recently, various methods have emerged to provide an optimized learning environment for each individual learner and to motivate learners, and these methods are attracting attention. Here, we will introduce gamification, which is used in the field of education. Gamification Gamification is a method of increasing user motivation and loyalty by incorporating game design techniques and game-like elements. By incorporating gamification into e-Learning, it is possible to create a system that motivates learners and makes it fun to work through to the end. Granting original certificates Using the learningBOX function, you can create and grant certificates that range from stylish to cute designs to give learners a special feeling. Grant certificates to members who have completed tests and training! The design and layout arrangement of the certificates can be easily configured to your liking.

IP restrictions are recommended to enhance security for online learning. This is Kidaoka, Marketing Manager. This paper introduces basic knowledge about IP addresses - how to set IP restrictions. e-Learning-based online learning, online classes, and in-house education are very convenient as cloud services that can be used from anywhere. However, the ability to access from anywhere also increases the risk of unauthorized access and the risk of personal information leakage. One solution to this problem is IP restrictions, which prevent users from logging into their accounts unless they use a specified IP address. Our learningBOX is an e-learning system that can be configured with IP restrictions to ensure security. Click here for Table of Contents 1. what is an IP address? 2. connection restriction by IP address 3. setting IP restrictions on learningBOX 4. summary What is an IP address? An IP address is simply a "number" assigned to a computer or communication device connected to the Internet. When using the Internet to browse websites or send and receive e-mail, it is necessary to identify the other party with whom you are communicating. The IP address plays a role in this process. Every terminal connected to the network has an IP address, which is assigned to identify devices on the network, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets, and serves as an address on the Internet. Basic Knowledge of IP Addresses Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia IP addresses are expressed using decimal numbers. The IP address is represented by a decimal number, and is called a "domain" when it is replaced by letters to make it easier for humans to understand. The Internet has a vast number of users coming and going. Who is viewing or accessing a website and where? The global IP address indicates the unique IP address of the user. This global IP address is unique and cannot be duplicated anywhere in the world. This is the same way that phone numbers and addresses do not duplicate! What is a decimal number? A decimal number is a way of writing numbers (notation) in which the base number is 10. It expresses numbers using all numbers from "0" to "9". ➡ 【 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 ] Connection Restriction by IP Address It is possible to restrict learningBOX so that only certain IP addresses can view the site. However, it is important to note that "IP restriction" here refers to global IP addresses, and there are two types of IP addresses: global IP addresses and private IP addresses, which are not used for Internet access. Keep in mind that it is the global IP address that is relevant to IP restrictions! How to check an IP address In this article, we will show you how to check your IP address using Windows as an example. In the case of Windows Step 1: Click "Start" and display the list of applications. Click "Windows System Tools" and then click "Command Prompt". Step 2: "Command Prompt" will appear. Type "ipconfig/all" and press "Enter" key. Step 3: Various network information such as IP address and MAC address will be displayed. Setting IP restrictions on learningBOX Starting from learningBOX Ver. 2.11, it is possible to set IP restrictions on the access source. How to set IP restrictions Please log in to learningBOX and go to Member Management > IP Restrictions in the side menu. Click IP Restrictions, and the screen will switch to "Login IP Restrictions". Restrict IP This function can be configured for each group. Click "Add IP Restrictions" to display a pop-up configuration window, where you can select a group and enter its IP address, then click the "Add" button to add it. Select the members of the group, enter the IP addresses that can log in, and click the Add button. IP restrictions are now set. Conclusion In this article, we have briefly introduced the basics of IP addresses and how to set up IP restrictions to prevent unauthorized access and information leaks related to the protection of members' personal information. Since it is very easy to set up IP restrictions on learningBOX, please refer to this article and try using IP restrictions according to your own purposes.

Let's use the permission settings of learningBOX! Part 2: School Use Hello! This is ⛄ Shinokura from the Quality Control Department. The rainy season has started, and the days are getting dreary and rainy. During the rainy season, it is easy to get sick due to the difference in weather and temperature, so please be careful. Now, in this article, continuing from the previous article, I would like to introduce how to use the authorization settings, assuming an example of use in a school. In the previous article, we introduced how to use Authorization Settings to give groups and members only the necessary privileges, rather than uniformly giving them the same privileges. In this article, we would like to explain how to make detailed settings for learning management, grade management, and assignment of teaching materials for each teacher's subject and class. If you find it difficult to use the authority settings, please take a look at this article. Click here for an article about authority settings. What are authority settings in learningBOX? Let's use the permission settings of learningBOX! School Use Click here for the table of contents Let's take a Japanese teacher as an example to set up privileges. 2. set up the classes you are in charge of using Group Management Authority (3) Specify the contents using the "Content Management Authority". (4) Use the Grade Management Authority to allow only the homeroom teacher to view and grade the grades. 5. summary Let's take a Japanese teacher as an example to set up the privileges. In this example, we will set up the following permissions for the homeroom teacher of the 1st grade. As the homeroom teacher of Class 1, she can check the grades of the students in her homeroom class. As a Japanese teacher, he/she can manage the teaching materials and contents for each grade (1-3) and check the grades of the students in his/her class. ▼Basic Information Mr. Tatsuo Tatsuno Subject : Japanese Class in charge of : 1st year class 1 ◆Procedure 1 Log in as "Plenipotentiary administrator (vice principal)" or "Owner account (principal)" of Administration General. ◆Work procedure ②. Click the Contents Management screen and create a folder from [Plus button]. Prepare folders for each hierarchy and set them up so that when you open a student's folder, you can open it in the order of >> Grade >> Subject. ◆Working Procedure (3) Return to "Documents" in Contents Management and set up the assignment of teaching materials. Assign the student's folder to the group "Students". Set up the classes to be assigned using the group admin rights Once you have assigned teaching materials, set up your groups. ◆Procedure 4 From the Member Management screen, set the group management privileges and set the class that Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei will be in charge of. Set the class you are in charge of and click the Save button at the end, and the icon will change to red. Specify the content using the teaching material management authority ◆Procedure 5. From the Member Management screen, click the "Teaching material management authority" privilege. Use this authority to set the Japanese language of the grade for which Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei is in charge. Save the file as "Student>>1Year>>Japanese, Student>>2Year>>Japanese, Student>>3Year>>Japanese". Set up the system so that only the teacher in charge can view and grade the grades using grade management privileges. Step 6. From the Member Management screen, click "Grade Control Authority". Specify the group name and the folder for teaching materials as shown below, and finally click the Save button. ◆Procedure 7. Set up the assignment of teaching materials. Specify the classes you are in charge of and the folders related to them, and click the Save button. This completes the setup of administrative privileges for Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei. Please follow this procedure to give the same privileges to each teacher's account and save them. Once the authorization settings are complete, each teacher can create contents in the subject (folder) for which he/she is in charge. Only the teacher in charge of the subject can view and grade the student's answers. Let's check what you can do by logging in with Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei! ◆Member Management Members under Student>1Year>1Group are displayed, and you can create, edit, delete, etc. members under Student>1Year>1Group. ◆Contents Management It is possible to create, edit, delete, and assign materials under Student>1 year>Japanese language. Similarly, it is possible to create, edit, delete, and assign materials under Student > 2 years > and Student > 3 years > Japanese. ◆Member grade management Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei is able to view, grade, output CSV, and send grade control notification emails below. Grades of "Student>1Year" for members belonging to the group "Student>1Year>1" (-> because he is the homeroom teacher of the class 1Year1) Grades of "Students > 1 year > Japanese" for members belonging to the group "Students > 1 year" (→ because they are in charge of Japanese) Grades of the members of the group "Students > 2 years" in "Students > 2 years > Japanese" (→ because they are in charge of Japanese) The results of "Student > 3 years > Japanese" of the members of the group "Student > 3 years > Japanese" (→ for being in charge of Japanese) Conclusion In this paper, we have discussed how to set the authority of teachers for each subject, assuming a school setting. Using these methods, it is possible to flexibly combine them, such as sometimes being in charge of all grades and sometimes only one class, without uniformly giving the same authority. Many schools may be introducing or considering e-learning systems as online teaching advances in the wake of the coronavirus. learningBOX is a learning management system that even first-time users can intuitively touch and learn its functions without difficulty in operation and settings. Each teacher working in a school has many roles. I think they manage various roles and organizations, such as being in charge of a grade, a class, or a subject they teach. Please try to set up the authorization taking into consideration the authorization that each individual teacher should have, without giving unnecessary authorization.

Make up for the learning delay due to school closure with online learning! Hello, my name is Kidaoka, Marketing Manager! My name is Takadaoka, and I am in charge of marketing. In this article, we would like to introduce the "EdTech Introduction Subsidy. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has recently established the "EdTech Introduction Subsidy" to subsidize a portion of the necessary expenses for EdTech businesses in order to demonstrate the introduction of IT-based educational services to schools. The EdTech Introduction Subsidy (FY2048 Supplementary Provisions for the Advanced Educational Software Introduction Demonstration Project) is a program to subsidize the costs of introducing EdTech software and IT-based educational services to schools for "EdTech businesses".

EdTech is a term coined by combining the words "Education" and "Technology," and is a generic term for businesses, services, and start-ups that bring innovation to the education field. Education x IT technology" is already being used all around us. One easy-to-understand example is a learning application that allows students to learn a language or prepare for an exam using a smartphone or tablet. Advantages of EdTech What are the advantages of using EdTech? Some people may say, "Why not just adopt Internet-based learning?" Some people may say, "Why not go all the way and introduce Internet-based learning? We have therefore considered the merits of introducing EdTech. Here are three of the expected benefits. Optimal learning for each student on an individual basis Learner exploration and project-based Allow time for exploration and project-based learning The global EdTech market size is 11,251.2 billion yen in 2020, growing about twice from 5,192.4 billion yen in 2015.The EdTech market size in Japan in 2020 is 240.3 billion yen, growing about 1.5 times from 164 billion yen in 2015. Although still small compared to the global market size, the EdTech market size is expected to grow in Japan. Factors that are attracting attention to EdTech The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has announced a policy to distribute one tablet device per student in elementary and junior high schools by 2020. With the strong push from the government, textbooks and classes are now online, and it is expected that the education industry will undergo a more analog-to-digital change as a result of this coronavirus.

Thank you for your continued support of learningBOX. We are pleased to report the results of the survey we conducted with your cooperation in April. We would like to thank the many people who provided valuable feedback on the survey. We will use your opinions and impressions to inform our future development policy for learningBOX, as well as features that should be developed, in order to ensure customer satisfaction. We will use your answers only as materials for our future activities to improve the quality of our services. Click here for table of contents 1. survey contents 2. report of the survey results 3. summary Content of the Questionnaire We have asked five questions in this survey. Thank you very much for taking the time to complete our survey. Here are the survey items Question 1. Do you use the paid version? Question 2. Please tell us how you use learningBOX. Q3. How satisfied are you with our company? Q4. Please tell us about any other products that you have compared with ours or that you have used before. Q5. What do you want to achieve with learningBOX, and what additional functions would you like to see added? Report on the results of the survey Q1. Are you using the paid version? Q2. What do you use learningBOX for (multiple choice)? Q3. How satisfied are you with our company? Thank you very much for your high evaluation. We are not satisfied with the results of this survey, but will take your concerns and feedback seriously and strive to improve our functions in the future. Q4: Please tell us about any other products that you compared with ours or that you have used before. We did not compare our product with any other company's product. We focused on price when we introduced the system. We have monthly training sessions, and we have to manage and report the results of about 100 people within the company, so "ease of creating teaching materials" and "ease of grade management and notification" were major points in choosing your e-learning system. The learningBOX system was visually familiar and easy to operate. It was also easy to implement in terms of cost. I think that the system is still as user-friendly for both administrators and students as it was at first. Q5. Is there anything you would like to achieve with learningBOX or any additional functions you would like to see added? About ▼Quiz I would like to make a quiz in which the correct answers are given in any order. I would like to make questions in which the order of the choices are randomized and questions in which they are not. I would like to have an auto-save function. There were many times when I jumped to another page without saving my changes. The sensitivity of the sorting questions seems to be a bit poor when using a smartphone or iPhone. It would be useful if there was an option to set a passing score, so that the last question answered would count as a pass or completion. About the memorization cards It would be nice if audio was available for memorization cards. It would be better if the cards could be read out loud. About the email notifications There are many times when I want to send a reminder e-mail to someone who has not finished studying the material. In such cases, it would be very helpful to be able to send a reminder e-mail to those who have not yet studied the material and those who are still studying. Currently, we have to send the e-mails individually. Questionnaire function Regarding the layout, some users said that the questions are difficult to read on the left side of the screen. We would appreciate it if you could edit the layout or reconsider it. Others It would be great if Powerpoint animations could be used instead of iSpring. We would like to conduct online classes for the purpose of preventing new coronavirus infection. (Online class) We would like to have a reservation function for uploading and a notification function when uploading is completed. (I would like to select multiple contents and upload them in order.) We would like to add a memo to the name of teaching materials for internal use. (A function to inform other administrators of comments such as "This is for XXX" that can only be seen by administrators.) I want a batch setting function for the management function. (When giving grade management privileges to multiple people, I would like to set them all up at once.) (When we give multiple people the authority to manage grades, we would like to set them all up at once. I would like to create, edit, and manage video training programs in chapter format using learningBOX. We would like to have a chat function. Students can easily ask questions, give explanations to each other in the same group, and share their problems.
