e-Learning System Satisfaction Survey: Results of Survey of 1,011 Training Managers Revealed! This is the learningBOX implementation support team. We recently conducted a "Corporate e-Learning System Satisfaction Survey" targeting training managers of companies that have implemented e-learning systems. In recent years, an increasing number of companies have begun to use e-learning for training, and many companies and persons in charge of training are considering introducing e-learning for new training programs. In this satisfaction survey, we report on the results of a survey of 1,011 people in charge of training. Click here for Table of Contents 1. Which e-learning system are you using? Find out the purpose of your e-learning system! 2. how did you find out about the e-learning system and what were the deciding factors? 3. e-Learning System Satisfaction Ranking 4. what improvements you would like to see in your e-learning system 5. summary What e-learning system are you using? We know the purpose of introducing this system! First, we would like to ask you about which e-learning system you are using. When we asked, "What is the name of the e-learning system you actually use?" the most common answer was "[Multiverse] NetLearning Corporation (20.3%)," followed by "[learningBOX] Tatsuno Information System Corporation (15.2%)," "[KnowledgeDeliver] Digital Knowledge Inc. (15.2%)" and "Digital Knowledge Corporation (14.0%)" followed. Next, when asked "Please tell us the purpose of your e-learning system (multiple answers allowed)," the most common answer was "Because it is suitable for basic education of employees (46.8%)," followed by "Because the same education can be provided remotely in remote areas (43.6%)," and "Because it can train many employees at the same time (40.0%). (43.6%)" and "Because I can train many employees at the same time (40.3%)" followed. Nearly half of the companies use e-learning systems for basic education. In addition, because e-learning allows many employees to take courses remotely at the same time, it reduces the cost of venue and travel expenses that are required for group training, and eliminates the need to prepare for group training, leading to greater operational efficiency on the part of the management team. The e-learning system is useful because it is located in the Corona Disaster and can be used without any contact between the instructor and the trainees. The system can be used over and over again, allowing participants to view the content they do not understand repeatedly. How did you learn about the e-learning system? Many respondents felt that e-learning systems are effective in providing basic education to employees, and that they can provide the same quality of education to a large number of employees at the same time, regardless of location. So, how did you hear about the e-learning system you are currently using? When we asked, "How did you learn about your current e-learning system?", the most common answer was "Introduction from another company (30.9%)", followed by "Website or advertisement (20.1%)" and "Sales call (13.2%)", indicating that more than 30% of respondents started using the system because of an introduction. We found that more than 30% of the respondents started using the service because of a referral. It can be inferred that they are making decisions based on information from a trusted source. What were the specific reasons for choosing this service? When asked, "What was the deciding factor in choosing your current e-learning system (multiple answers allowed)?" the most common answer was "System functionality and convenience (44.8%)," followed by "Quality of course materials (30.2%)" and "Ability to customize course materials (22.6%). The main functions of an e-learning system are learner, management, and instructional functions, which eliminate the need to manually manage learners and course materials, and enable centralized management of large amounts of information. In recent years, the variety of teaching materials has expanded and their quality has improved. Among them, those using video and images are expected to improve learning effectiveness because they can express learning content in an easy-to-understand manner. In addition to video, there are various other types of content, such as drill-type teaching materials and live lectures given in real time, which seem to be the deciding factor in selecting a system. Satisfaction Ranking of e-Learning Systems The survey so far has revealed that many companies have introduced e-learning systems for the purpose of conducting basic and fundamental employee training, providing the same training remotely, and training a large number of employees simultaneously. The reasons for choosing the current service from among a number of services included system functionality and convenience, quality of teaching materials, and the ability to customize the system, indicating that a system that meets substantial and serious needs is required. So which e-learning systems are the most satisfactory? We asked the respondents about their level of satisfaction with the e-learning systems they use, and the top 5 systems with the highest percentage of "very satisfied" respondents were as follows. ■Top 5 e-Learning System Satisfaction Ranking No. 1: [learningBOX] Tatsuno Information System Corporation (45.5%) No. 2: [Moodle] Open Source (29.0%) No. 3: [KnowledgeDeliver] Digital Knowledge Corporation (23.4%) Fourth: [AirCourse] KIYO Learning Corporation (23.1%) Fifth: [UMU] Umu Technology Japan Corporation (21.7%) So what conditions and environments are these companies using the systems? When we asked, "Please tell us the conditions, frequency, and number of people using the system," we received the following responses and others. A wide range of usage exists in terms of frequency and number of people. Three times a day for a group of 50 people (30s / Male / Nagano) Once every 7 days for a group of 20 (40s / Male / Shiga) Once a year for 13,000 people (50s / Male / Kyoto) Once a day for 2,000 people (50s / Male / Kanagawa) Once a month for a group of 5,000 (50s / Male / Tokyo) Once every 10 days for a group of 10 people (50s / Female / Osaka) The number of users ranges from several dozen to 10,000, with some companies using it once a year and others using it three times a day, indicating a wide range of usage. Improvements sought in e-learning systems While the number of people and frequency of use varied considerably from company to company, the survey revealed that many companies place importance on functionality, convenience, and quality of teaching materials, and that they select e-learning systems based on information from people they trust. In addition, nearly 90% of respondents were satisfied with the systems they use. Amidst all this, are there any areas in which they feel they would like to see improvements? When asked, "What improvements, if any, would you like to see in your current e-learning system (multiple responses allowed)?" the most common response was "lower cost (30.9%)," followed by "system functionality and convenience (30.8%)" and "quality of teaching materials (26.7%). Then, what aspects of the e-learning system are they dissatisfied with? We asked, "What specific areas of the e-learning system are you dissatisfied with? ■Improve the usability of the system and the contents of the course materials. Account management is complicated, and it takes a lot of time and effort to register (the system is difficult to use) (20s / female / Tokyo). The contents of the educational materials are difficult to understand (40s / Male / Osaka). Cost is high (40s / Male / Osaka) The screen is difficult to see (50s / Male / Saitama) Time constraints for overseas-based instructors (50s / Male / Chiba Prefecture) I want a wider range of fields (50s / Male / Shizuoka) There were both requests for improvements in hardware (e.g., difficulty in using the system and difficulty in viewing the screen) and software (e.g., ease of understanding of teaching materials and wider range of content). In addition, there was a wide range of requests regarding time constraints and high costs. So, with such dissatisfaction, are they considering discontinuing use of their current system or switching to another company's system? When asked, "Would you like to continue using your current e-learning system?" The results were "Yes (89.5%)" and "No (10.5%)," indicating that nearly 90% of the respondents would like to continue using their current e-learning system. Although there are many e-learning systems in the world, it is necessary to consider various selection points, such as the number of people to be trained, the support system, whether the system is designed to keep students motivated, whether the content of the material matches the company's employee training, and cost-effectiveness. Since the systems were carefully selected after identifying the advantages of the candidate systems, they are used with satisfaction, and nearly 90% of the companies want to continue using them. Conclusion LearningBOX will continue to assist and accompany busy HR professionals! The quality of human resources is a major factor in determining the future of a company. Therefore, many companies would like to focus on human resource training, but many companies may not have the time to take the time to train their employees. Our "learningBOX" is an e-learning system that focuses on "ease of use" and "low cost. The introduction of conventional e-learning systems generally requires a high level of expertise and is expensive. LearningBOX" was developed to remove these hurdles as much as possible, focusing on "ease of use" and "low cost," making e-learning accessible to those who have never been able to afford it. LearningBOX is a service that can be easily used by people who have never had access to e-learning before. We do not aim to implement the system as a goal. Our employees will work together to improve the functions of the system until the desired operation is realized, and even while the system is in operation.

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. For customers who want to conduct online classes (online classes) Please refer to the article "Using a live streaming tool to conduct online classes on learningBOX" for details on how to set up a live video streaming service using learningBOX and the video sharing site Vimeo. For customers who wish to upload large files If you have been unable to upload videos due to their large size, please check out our article on how to compress videos to make them smaller. The article provides detailed instructions on how to compress videos to reduce the size of the file. For customers who wish to use chat The learningBOX message box makes it easy to exchange conversations between members of a group, just like a chat room. For more information on how to use and set up the message box, please refer to the article on the message box function that can be used for online learning.

Increase the number of users Upgrade the license (from Starter to Standard) Upgrade both the number of people and the license Add various options *This is for customers who are already using a paid plan. (The "paid plan" referred to here refers to the state of being on a paid plan for a learningBOX license; a contract for a QuizGenerator license only does not refer to a "paid plan.) *This may not be possible depending on the combination of license types and optional contracts. Please understand this beforehand. Notes on the fee structure Please be aware of the following items in connection with the functional modification from Ver. 2.13. If you are using an annual contract and add or upgrade in the middle of the contract, the monthly contract unit price may be applied (depending on the period when the change is applied). Please see the table below first. The table summarizes the fees for annual and monthly contracts. The numbers in red are the amounts for one year, which are used as the basis for the calculation. (Taxes are not included). In the case of ▼License only Currently annual contract, but monthly contract unit price will be applied at the time of upgrade. If you are currently on an annual contract (e.g., Starter/Standard), and you wish to add additional users, depending on the details and conditions (e.g., you only wish to add users for 3 months before the contract renewal), the monthly unit price will be applied to the bill for the additional users, instead of the annual unit price. Calculation example 1) I want to change from annual starter 100 to starter 200 in the middle of the contract period (contract period remains unchanged). The payment amount in Calculation Example 1 is calculated as follows Monthly per year ÷ 365 (pro-rated daily) × Number of days remaining 60,000 ÷ 365 × 171 days = 28,109.58904 ⇒ 28,109 yen *"Per year of monthly amount" is, for example, 60,000 yen, which is equivalent to 12 months of the Starter Plan's monthly contract unit price: 5,000 yen (excluding tax). *In this case, since the applicable period is less than one year, the monthly unit price is applied. The actual amount to be billed will be the monthly unit price plus consumption tax. The decimal point will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The monthly unit price may seem expensive. Therefore, we have prepared a mitigation measure. (Relaxation measure) In the case of an annual contract, the annual contract unit price will be applied even when the number of users is added.

If you select "1 year" for "Period for which the change will be applied," the annual unit price will be applied. (Calculation Example 2) I want to change from annual starter 100 to starter 200 in the middle of a new year. The payment amount in Calculation Example 2 is calculated by the following calculation. (Contract amount of the new plan to be used from the day of upgrade to the next renewal date) - (pro-rated amount of the unused portion of the old plan as the annual unit price) = billed amount Let us explain an example of the above calculation. (Contract amount of the new plan to be used from the upgrade date to the next renewal date): June 1, 2020 - May 31, 2021 ⇒ Starter 200 (1 year): 60,000 yen (pro-rated amount of the old plan for unused portion as annual unit price): June 1, 2020 - November 18, 2020 ⇒30,000 ÷ 365 × 171 days = 14,054.7945 ⇒ 14,054 yen (per year ÷ daily rate × number of days remaining =) (Contract amount of the new plan to be used from the day of upgrade to the next renewal date) - (pro-rated amount of the unused portion of the old plan as the annual unit price) = billed amount 60,000 yen - 14,054 yen = 45,946 yen In this case, the annual unit price is applied because the applicable period is one year. The actual amount to be billed will be the amount shown here plus consumption tax. *Figures are rounded down to the nearest whole number. Other points to note If you have a contract for options (e.g., hosting/design customization), depending on the status of the option contract, the "period during which changes are applied" you can choose from may be limited, and the annual unit price may not be applied. Please refer to this table for details. ▼ Example: Adding only the number of people in the middle of the contract term Selection of the period to apply the current contract changeControl itemsBilling rate (based on unit price)Annual contractContract end date does not changeApply monthly unit price*If you have subscribed to an option, you can only select "No change in contract period "Update contract period to new annual period (select 1 year)Annual Apply a monthly unit price without changing the end date of the contract. (Select "1 month to 11 months".) If 1 month to 11 months, apply the monthly unit price. Other remarks This feature is currently under development and verification, so the specifications may be subject to change. The fee structure announced this time may also be subject to change.

We will inform you of the upgrade schedule for the Ver2.13 series as soon as the schedule is determined. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us using the inquiry form. We look forward to your continued patronage of learningBOX.

The learningBOX costs 30,000 yen per year and can be used by up to 100 people. It's true. And in fact, the majority of our customers are using the 30,000 yen per year starter plan for up to 100 users. However, there are some customers who pay more than 30,000 yen per year. For more than 100 people If you have 950 guests, the annual fee will be 300,000 yen. Standard Plan The annual fee for 100 users is 90,000 yen, and you can upload videos of up to 500MB per file, up to 100GB. 200 users will cost 180,000 yen, and you can upload videos up to 200GB in total.
