Thank you for using learningBOX. Today, learningBOX has been updated to Ver. 5.0. We would like to introduce you to the various functions that have been added and improved with this update. Enhanced functions AI scoring has evolved! Rubric Evaluation Support AI scoring has been enhanced for written quiz/test questions. In response to rubric assessments, AI automatically generates scores and feedback for each assessment perspective you set. The AI can also add and adjust instructions (prompts) for grading, allowing administrators to revise and finalize the grading based on the AI's suggestions for efficient and fair grading. *For details, please refer to "Report and Survey Writing Questions". View Illustrative Materials (PDF) Discussion feature to deepen learning A new "discussion function" has been added to allow learners to exchange opinions on a theme. The threaded discussion board allows users to post their own opinions and reply to other learners' posts. The administrator can set the number of posts and replies as learning completion conditions, and can also provide ratings and feedback on individual posts. The system promotes not only one-way knowledge input, but also knowledge retention through output and the formation of a community among learners. *For details, please refer to "Discussion". View Illustrative Materials (PDF) Group Conversations! Talk Room feature now available! In addition to the existing "Direct Message" function, a new "Talk Room" function has been added to allow group conversations. Chat rooms can be created in which members of each training group or department automatically participate, enabling smooth communication within the LMS. In addition, the direct message function has been enhanced to support communication between multiple users (up to 10 people), including the ability to send files such as Word and Excel files and to confirm that messages have been read. The name "Direct Message" has been changed to "Message" to make it even easier to use. For details, please refer to "Messages". View Illustrative Materials (PDF) Set due dates by course/folder or individual The ability to set course deadlines has been greatly expanded. Previously, due dates were mainly set by content unit, but now they can be set by "course" or "folder" in a batch. In addition, it is now possible to set due dates not only for groups of courses, but also for individual users. The set due dates are clearly displayed on the course list and details screen of the learner screen with statuses such as "0 days to go" and "expired," and the dashboard has been expanded with a panel function that notifies users of incomplete content. *For details, please refer to "Course Due Date". View Illustrative Materials (PDF) Quiz and video analysis! Excel report output function The grade management function has been enhanced to output quiz, test, and video results as Excel reports. Previously, only the survey function was supported, but from now on, grades for learning content can also be downloaded in an easy-to-understand visual format. In addition, administrators can choose from multiple templates to suit their purposes, eliminating tedious tabulation work and allowing them to create documents with a single click that can be used for reporting to superiors or analyzing learning status. *For details, please refer to the "Report Output" section. View Illustrative Materials (PDF) Automatic archiving of closed products (training courses, etc.) A function has been added to automatically archive products (training courses, etc.) that have been sold or distributed to the public after their expiration date. Previously, archiving had to be done manually by the administrator, but from now on, the system will automatically process the archiving once a day. Automatic archiving can also be turned on or off during batch registration by CSV. When the status is set to "archive," the system will automatically hide (or archive) the course on the student's screen, eliminating the need to perform maintenance after the course is no longer open to the public. *For details, please refer to "Training Management," "Curriculum Management," "Product Registration," and "Seminar Management. View Illustrative Materials (PDF) Grade correction function for concurrent study errors A new function has been added to allow administrators to correct "invalid" or "error" grade data that has been forced to be interrupted by the concurrent study control as "normal" grades at a later time. The administrator can check the data from the grade details screen and correct the data only once with administrative privileges. This allows the system to provide a remedy for learners whose grades were unwillingly not recorded due to communication problems or mishandling of the system. *For more information, please refer to the "Warning Statement Concerning Multiple (Simultaneous) Study of the Same Content.
