E-learning learning that can be used in schools [Part 1]

E-Learning Learning for Use in Schools [Part 1 Long time no see! It's Kitaoka in charge of marketing🍎, and we are now entering the last week of June. The weather has been unstable nationwide, and many of you may be getting sick due to the extreme temperature differences in some areas. Hot summer is already upon us! Through learningBOX, we will continue to do our best to provide you, our readers, with e-learning learning that is useful for school education! If you are interested in e-learning, but are not sure how to use it in real situations, please refer to this article and let's think together about how to use e-learning and how to utilize it! Click here to see the table of contents      ------[Part 1] This time! ------ 1. unpimping from examples 2. setting goals 3. create study materials 4. divide them by subject      ------ [Part 2] ------ 5. learningBOX account registration 6. group settings 7. setting up grade management 8. summary Pimping from an Example Let's take "Taro Tatsuno," a middle school social studies teacher, as a hypothetical setting and consider e-learning learning that can be expected and utilized in the educational setting. In this paper, we will discuss teachers' problems and how they teach their students as exercises for e-Learning learning! Basic Information Taro Tatsuno: In charge of third grade social studies Taro Tatsuno's PC level Computer-related information is at the level of gathering information on the Internet. No programming knowledge, PC operation level to create documents using Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Taro Tatsuno's concerns 1) There is a lot of variation in scores from class to class. (2) It is practically difficult to provide learning guidance tailored to each individual student. (3) The majority of work time is consumed by creating materials for classes and tests (4) Parents have high expectations and pressure (5) Students' interest in social studies is low and their motivation for learning is low We believe that many teachers in the educational field have these problems. Many teachers are required to achieve results (grades) within a set time frame, and the workload of "duties and responsibilities" for each teacher is high, and I believe that many teachers suffer physically and mentally while performing their daily duties. In addition to teaching students to study, teachers have other non-work duties, school events, and relationships with parents, and they are often in a position, low-positioned and across-the-board. I think those who have club activities and class/grade responsibilities are even busier. Based on Taro Tatsuno's concerns, let's start e-learning learning together, using our learningBOX in action, how to create a learning environment that reduces the burden on teachers and increases students' study awareness through e-learning learning! Goal Setting Mission ①Improve students' knowledge and motivation to learn ②Propose and create study methods that match each student's level ③Reduce time spent on creating materials ④Gain the trust of schools and parents (5) To get students interested in social studies through e-learning study Let's immediately create a design with learningBOX that will satisfy the above conditions (1) to (5)! Let's create learning materials If you try to create learning materials based on the big word (concept) of social studies, the entry point is so wide that you will not know where to start. Let's create learning materials by narrowing the scope and genre, and then gradually broaden the scope of study and improve the quality of the content. Recommended Question Creation Procedure First, divide the material into sub-items, medium-sized items, and large items. When the number of questions in the sub-items increases, organize the information into groups or categories. When the number of middle items increases, divide the information into large items and complete the composition. Image Diagram Let's actually create teaching materials with learningBOX! Major Subjects: Social Studies Middle Subjects: (1) History, (2) Geography, (3) Civics...etc. Subtopics: (1)-1Japanese History, (2)-1Japanese Geography, (3)-1Structure of Japanese Society...etc. Here are the quizzes we made 10 questions about Japanese history → History questions 10 questions about Japanese geography → Geography questions 10 problems about Japanese society → problems of society Comprehensive questions → Comprehensive questions Test questions close to the real test → Test Click here to see the difference between Normal Mode and Master Mode. Features of learningBOX Easy to create questions with ①excel and text. We recommend the "Question Creation Form" for first-time users. 2) Multifunctional question format (3) Images and videos can be inserted. (4) URL links can be embedded in explanations (5) Optional functions allow you to create a test that is closer to the real test. The quiz creation function offers a wide variety of quiz types and functions. ▼Quiz creation features include a wide variety of quiz types and functions, as well as the ability to embed video clips. Separate by subject Organize the educational materials created above by folder. Learning control features to aid course design Prerequisites can be set by using the constraint bar in the Content feature. There are two types of constraints: answer or view all questions and materials above the constraint, or pass all questions and materials above the constraint. *This constraint bar allows the learner to follow the procedure efficiently. Limit the number of lessons to meet your objectives By setting a limit on the number of times a course can be taken, you can make students take the course up to a specific number of times. This will help students to feel tension and concentration, which are difficult to stimulate in a regular class! You can assign materials to each group Depending on the level of your students, you can assign the materials you want to distribute to each group! Summary of the first part This discussion is going to be a long one, so I will break it up here. In the first part, we used learningBOX as an example to show how to propose learning methods, create teaching materials, and separate questions that could be used in e-learning based on Taro Tatsuno's problems. What did you think of this e-learning study using learningBOX that we introduced this time? I think it was a fresh new study method different from the textbooks, notebooks, and printed learning materials currently used in schools and educational settings. I am sure that study methods will continue to evolve with the times. We may have entered a turning point in terms of the "quality of education, flexibility of teaching methods, and education that meets the needs of the times" that we seek and require. In the second part, I would like to talk in detail about how to manage grades and registration based on the learning environment created by learningBOX, etc. In the second part, I will also provide more in-depth information about the operation and cost aspects of e-learning. or you are about to give up because of the difficulty of the operation. Our learningBOX will turn your anxiety into anticipation! We look forward to seeing you again in the second part! Thank you very much for reading this article.

Studying is a luxury!

Hello! I'm Kadota from the Systems Development Department! Our office moved on September 2, 2019! With that, I started to commute by bicycle. For all of you who don't get enough exercise, I highly recommend biking to work! Well, this time I wrote an article on the grand theme of "Study". Please take a look! Before we get to the blog, let me make an announcement about an upcoming exhibition this coming September 25 (Wed)-27 (Fri)! We will be exhibiting at Educational IT Solutions (Kansai EDIX) at Intex Osaka, September 25 (Wed)-27 (Fri), 2019! ▼For more information, click here. We are now steadily making preparations! We are planning to hold mini-seminars and other events on the day of the event. We will also have an opportunity to explain actual demo operations directly from our staff, so please come to the event! We are also accepting applications for invitation tickets, so if you are interested, please check out the 3rd 【KANSAI】Education IT Solution EXPO in INTEX Osaka. Our staff is looking forward to seeing you there! Now back to the blog! Click here for the Table of Contents 1. think again. What is studying? 2. what is studying for? 3. Studying is a luxury! 4. there are countless ways to study 5. Conclusion Think again. What is study? Study is important." No one can disagree with this, can they? In today's age of 100 years of life and rapid changes, it is necessary to continue studying even as an adult. So, what is "study" in the first place? I have thought about it again. According to "Kojien" (6th edition) To devote oneself diligently to something. (2) To study or learn a subject or skill. (3) To learn by gaining various experiences. (3) To sell products at a reasonable price. (3) To sell products at a reasonable price. (iii) To sell goods at a reasonable price. The following is the list. Three kinds of meanings have been mentioned, but I would like to talk about (1) and (2) this time. First, let's talk about (1) "To work hard with all one's might". Simply put, this means "to work hard. Secondly, 1) "to work hard" means simply "to work hard". (2) To learn about studies and techniques. To learn by gaining various experiences. To do mathematics. This is the image of "going to school," "learning a lesson," or "a new employee learning a job. Both meanings have the same sense as we usually use. What is it that you study for? Why do you have to study?" Everyone has probably wondered this at least once, haven't they? For children and students, the most likely reasons are "because I will have trouble when I grow up," "for higher education," or "because I won't be able to get a job if I don't study. For adults, there are "because I need it for work," "to get a qualification," and so on. Other reasons include "to fulfill my dreams" and "to enjoy my hobbies more. The above reasons, although worded differently, have one thing in common. It is "to grow up better than I am now and lead a better and more enjoyable life. When you are a child, you will often be reasoned with by adults rather than by your own will. On the other hand, those who are able to continue their studies as adults probably have many spontaneous reasons. (It's hard to do that when people tell you to, isn't it?) There are also many seniors who remain curious and challenge various things even as they get older. When you think about it this way, the more spontaneous the study, the more positive and wonderful the reasons are. Studying is a luxury! Now to the title, don't you think it is a great blessing to be in a situation or environment where you can study in the first place? As an extreme example, if we were at war or under attack by a natural disaster, we would not be able to study, would we? Philosophy developed in ancient Greece because the city of Athens had enormous power in the region and was at peace, meaning that they had too much time on their hands. (You've heard of Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, etc., right?) If the family was poor and had no food to eat, the situation might be like, "Don't go to school, get to work! (You have heard of the Socratesses, the Aristoteles, etc., haven't you? In Japan during the period of rapid economic growth immediately after World War II, workers who had graduated from junior high school were called "golden eggs," and this was the norm. Later, with Japan's economic growth, the high school & college enrollment rate has been steadily increasing. Today, one might think that "going to cram school" or "going to high school" is a matter of course, but of course there is a cost involved. Usually, students go to school with money that their parents worked hard for, but it is not a cheap price. According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's 2008 survey of children's learning expenses According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's survey of children's learning expenses, the annual cost of attending a public high school (full-time) is approximately 451,000 yen. Based on the above, we can say that being able to study is a very blessed and luxurious thing. Nowadays, there are countless ways to study. Studying is such a luxury, but today, there are many ways to study, not only by going to school. However, it is difficult for busy professionals to attend classes after work. So, is there any better means? One way to make good use of this is to use "e-learning. With the spread of personal computers, smartphones, and tablets, e-learning has become much easier to use than before. With e-learning, you can study efficiently in your spare time, such as when you are waiting for a train, or when you are traveling by train. And of course, our learning management system "learningBOX" is one of the "e-learning" services. It can be used by individuals, of course, but it can also be used for corporate training programs and tutoring schools to distribute materials to a large number of people, and it can also be used for student management and grade management. What's more, "learningBOX" can be tried free of charge. We hope that you will create an account to try it out and make use of it to improve your studies and skills. Click here to register Summary Have you thought about the idea of studying? Being able to study is a blessing. I hope you will make use of our e-learning system "learningBOX" to help you grow as much as possible. And, "I want my employees and staff to grow and have a better, more enjoyable life! If you are in charge of training and human resources at a company that wants to make your employees and staff grow and have a better, more enjoyable life! To those in charge of education! LearningBOX" is available at a price range that is easy to implement, even for companies that have felt that e-learning systems are too expensive and difficult to implement! We also offer a free plan that allows you to use the system for free and indefinitely. Please take this opportunity to register. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

The Spread of Adaptive Learning [World eLearning]

The Spread of Adaptive Learning [e-Learning Around the World]. Hello, my name is Motoki, and I am in charge of marketing. Thanks to your support, this is the third installment of the popular (in my opinion) "e-Learning Around the World" series. Following on from our discussion of flipped learning and MOOCs, this time I would like to talk about a keyword that is gaining more and more presence in e-learning every day: "adaptive learning. Adaptive learning. which is becoming more and more prevalent in e-learning every day. Click here for the Table of Contents What is adaptive learning? 2. Typical Services 3. Key words to keep in mind 4. Summary What is adaptive learning? What does adaptive learning mean? If you look up the word "adaptive" in a dictionary, you will find that it means "adaptive, adapting. Adaptive learning is a learning method that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize learning materials according to the learner's academic ability and proficiency level. Simply put, it is a learning method that matches the learner's level. With the emergence and evolution of AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology, it is becoming popular in the field of education as a learning method that analyzes learning history data and provides learning content optimized for each individual student. To use a school example, until now, it has been common practice to assign homework and problems of the same level and content to all students in a class. Adaptive learning allows students to focus on areas of weakness or stumbling blocks and learn from the basics, or to excel in areas in which they excel. In online shopping, there is a recommendation function that displays a list of recommended products based on product search history and purchase history, such as "Here are the products we recommend for you" or "Here are the products you buy together". This is similar to the way the system works, isn't it? Anyway, when I think back to my childhood, I remember that if I was not good at a subject or a unit, I would go on and on without understanding it, and I would think to myself, "I wish this unit would hurry up and pass by! I remember thinking, "I wish this unit would hurry up and pass! It would be wonderful if the learning progressed according to the level of each individual. Typical Services Let's take a look at some typical services. First is KNEWTON. The representative of adaptive learning is Knewton (Newton), an American company that appeared in 2008. Knewton is a service that specializes in adaptive learning. As an example, the completion rate of one math course prepared at Arizona State University increased by 171 TP2T, the dropout rate decreased by 561 TP2T, and 451 TP2T students completed the course four weeks earlier than scheduled. One of the features of the program is a system that uses web-based tests to recommend the next best learning content and assignments to learners, allowing both administrators, learners, and parents to understand where they are stumbling and where they can move on. Other adaptive learning offerings include DreamBox Learning DreamBox Learning is an adaptive online learning site that focuses on math and arithmetic. ●IXL IXL has been introduced in schools in the United States. There is also information that the site is actually being used as homework in schools. The Japanese site also has actual problems to solve. Key words to keep in mind We have looked at representative services for adaptive learning, and it seems that as AI evolves and spreads in the future, adaptive learning will be one of the methods that are likely to revolutionize the learning style. Now, I would like to introduce some terms related to adaptive learning that you should be aware of. I will provide more detailed information on each of these terms in a later article. Here is a quick introduction. Education Big Data As the digitization and ICT of education progresses, much of the learning data that used to be paper-based can now be obtained in the form of data. Although the use of this data requires a sophisticated approach called data science, it is data that will change the nature of education as a whole, not only for children but also for adults. Learning Analytics The data analysis approach to learning using the educational big data mentioned above is also very important. Learning analytics analysis and measurement are likely to attract even more attention in the future in order to utilize the learning data that has become available as a result of the digitalization of education, such as various types of e-learning and MOOCs. Recommendation functions as educational support This is a recommendation function to support learners by utilizing educational big data and learning analytics. This function is familiar in e-commerce (EC), but in the case of education, it is likely to be even more useful. For example, we can expect various things such as recommended learning contents to overcome individual weak points or learning contents recommendation utilizing learner's attribute data (age, gender, hobbies and preferences). Conclusion Just as big data is driving change in various industrial fields, the digitalization of education → big data → the evolution and spread of adaptive learning, which means that the education field will be transformed in the same way. In this issue, I have used the example of adaptive learning in the U.S. and introduced some related terms. In the next issue, I would like to take an even sharper look at e-learning around the world. In the next issue, I would like to take an even sharper look at e-learning around the world. Thank you for reading to the end! Reference: Edtech will change the future Author: Masahiro Sato

Security Training Using e-Learning to Prevent Information Leakage

Preventing information leaks "Security training using e-learning" This is Kinoshita👓, CS Implementation Support Manager. It's been a while since I've posted a blog entry, but there are only a few days left in 2019. I hope you are enjoying the new year. The first year of 2022 was a year of many major events for our company, including the relocation of our new office and our participation in exhibitions in Tokyo and Osaka, for which we are very grateful. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again. Now, let's get right to this article! I would like to ask, "Does your company have adequate security knowledge, measures, and training?" In this article, I would like to introduce a security training program that uses e-learning to protect your company's customer information from information leaks! Please take a look at this article as well. Click here for Table of Contents 1. compensation for damages caused by personal information leaks 2. importance of security training 3. demand and expectation of e-learning 4. using learningBOX to create security training 5. summary Compensation for damages caused by personal information leaks Here are the estimated damages due to personal information leakage incidents that occurred during the year 2018. In terms of the number of people per information leakage incident, the information and telecommunications industry ranked first (1,712,580 people). (Source: Japan Network Security Association) Importance of Security Training By cause, the three most common causes are "Lost and misplaced", "Mishandled", and "Unauthorized access", accounting for approximately 701 TP2T of the total. As can be seen from the cause-by-cause breakdown, human error due to omissions, lack of security awareness, and other factors are related to the causes, making it essential to raise security awareness among all employees, including company executives. (Source: Japan Network Security Association) The impact of information leaks can cause immeasurable damage to customers and business partners. Economic loss, loss of company credibility, penalties and penalties, etc... It is frightening just to think about it. Demand and Expectations for e-Learning Learning Training and learning using e-learning are attracting more and more attention as a means of "education big data, EdTech, work style reform, next-generation group training, and advanced educational matters". It is expected to become one of the most popular forms of learning, and the number of companies introducing it is increasing every year. Among them, more and more companies are focusing on internal training and education such as compliance, information security, and corporate training. Advantages of e-Learning Learning E-learning is very convenient because individuals can study as needed and repeat what they do not understand. Perhaps the greatest advantage is the ability to easily prepare, review, and re-study at the time one wishes to learn. By improving the business skills of each individual, it helps employees, the company, and the entire company to grow and improve its bottom line, which directly leads to improved operational efficiency. Using learningBOX to conduct security training Tatsuno Information System provides "security training" to employees in this way. Our learningBOX can easily create and conduct security training. This time, we would like to introduce security training using content provided free of charge by the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA). IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan) The IPA is a policy organization that plays a part in IT policies to realize a "dependable IT society" by ensuring the safety and reliability of information society systems, which are becoming increasingly complex and vast, and is developing measures for information security, software reliability, and IT human resource development. (Reference: IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan)) Security Training Flow Click here for security training using learningBOX. Please check the video With learningBOX, security training can be taken as a course study. By making it a course study, only those who have reached certain learning procedures and passing scores can be issued a certificate. We also recommend the following features and settings Allow each group or department to take the training. The number of times a learner can take a course can also be restricted. The number of times a learner can take a class can be limited. The number of times a learner can take a course can also be limited. For more information on how to set up and use the LearningBOX, please refer to the LearningBOX page. Conclusion Raising the awareness of all employees is crucial in security education. Just handing out thick handouts or informing employees of a token policy is not enough to raise employee awareness. It is important to have a system to ensure compliance with security, and e-learning is one such system. e-learning allows for more detailed analysis, quantification, and evaluation of the learner's level of understanding. We hope that our e-learning system (learningBOX) will be useful for your company's security measures. Thank you for taking the time to read this article.

About Khan Academy, One of the Beginnings of Flipped Learning in the U.S. [eLearning Around the World

About Khan Academy, one of the beginnings of flipped learning in the U.S. [e-Learning around the world]. Hello. My name is Motoki, and I am in charge of marketing. I'm a newcomer to the company, and I'm also an uncle, but I'm looking forward to working with you. I would like to start off by writing a series of articles in the "e-Learning Around the World" series as a study for myself, as my knowledge of the e-learning industry is still very limited. This time, I would like to introduce "Khan Academy," which is said to be one of the beginnings of flipped learning in the United States. Click here for the Table of Contents 1、What is Khan Academy? 2、Features of Khan Academy 3、Influence 4、Summary What is Khan Academy (Khan Academy)? Khan Academy is an online learning site founded in 2006 by Salmar Khan in the United States. He originally created the site to tutor his cousin's children, who live far away, using web software to help them learn. At first, the system was designed to provide questions, and when a question could not be solved, the system would display learning content tailored to that question. Later, at the recommendation of a friend, he created instructional videos and uploaded them to YouTube, where they became popular for being "easy to understand through video" and "easy to review and learn at your own pace. The number of users began to explode, and the site developed into a full-fledged online learning site. (The number of current users is said to be in the millions to tens of millions per month worldwide.) Features of Khan Academy Khan Academy's stance is to "proceed with learning by asking questions, and if a question is not answered, the appropriate learning content will be displayed," and the videos themselves are positioned as supplementary materials. Kahn himself says, "The most useful way to learn is to solve the questions," and "The real source of our power is in the question software (level-checking test). Impacts that have occurred One of the most frequently mentioned impacts of the Khan Academy is the popularization of a teaching and learning style known as "Flipped Learning. Teachers at schools began to use Khan Academy videos as preparatory videos for their students. What is Flipped Learning? Flipped Learning" refers to a teaching style in which lectures, which are traditionally held in the classroom, are conducted at home via video learning, and problem solving and report writing are done during class time. What is Flipped Learning | About e-Learning | Quiz Writing and Question Writing Tools - e-Learning Starts with a Quiz There have been attempts to implement flipped classrooms since that time, but the burden on teachers to create video materials was so great that many teachers were unable to do so even if they wanted to. This led to an increase in the number of teachers using Khan Academy videos to prepare for classes, and the flipped classroom style has spread. Conclusion Before researching, I had a strong image of "the trigger for the spread of flipped learning," so I had an image of "the roots of video materials," but I was impressed by the fact that Khan Academy itself emphasizes "learning through questions and tests to check understanding, and using video materials to learn what you don't understand. I was impressed by this point. This time, we introduced "Khan Academy," which is said to be one of the first edtech schools in the U.S. We hope you will visit again next time. Please check back again next time. Oh, by the way, our e-learning creation system "learningBOX" started as a quiz question creation tool "QuizGenerator"! The real source of power is in the question software!" If you haven't already, please take advantage of it! ▼QuizGenerator, a quiz question creation tool that can be created on the web, where anyone can create quizzes for free and easily.

Free e-learning system to get started

The year 2019 is just a few days away. How was the first year of 2028 for you? I am Kitaoka🍎, a marketing manager, and I haven't written any New Year's greeting cards yet. This article is for those who are interested in e-learning! If you want to implement e-learning but are wondering which company's service to choose, this article is for you! Our e-learning system (learningBOX) is free for anyone from individuals to companies to start using e-learning. All you need to prepare is a computer and an Internet environment. You can start e-learning from the day you register. In this article, we will introduce the features and functions of our e-learning system, learningBOX. Thank you very much for your interest in our e-learning system. Table of Contents 1. do you have any of these employee training problems? 2. learningBOX is an e-learning system that even first-time users can use with confidence. 3. here are some examples of situations in which learningBOX can be used 4. summary Do you have any of these employee training problems? If you are in charge of training and have only conducted group training, do you have any of these problems or issues when implementing and operating employee training? Do you have any of these problems or issues when implementing and operating employee training? The person in charge of training is worried: "I don't have time to conduct group training for all the participants. We don't have the budget to conduct training every time. The level of knowledge acquisition varies from employee to employee. We have conducted major training programs, but as time goes by, the knowledge fades and it takes time for it to take root. We want to solve the problems of those in charge with e-learning! But ...... Concerns about operational aspects I am not familiar with computer-related knowledge or electronic devices. I am not confident about creating training materials and setting up the content I want to use for training. Concerns about price The price is too high, and I cannot afford to spend a large amount of money. I am afraid to purchase a product or service that is difficult to see what is inside. Concerns about ease of use If there is a difference in usability among different age groups, it will be difficult for the company to introduce and manage the service. Can anyone, not just a few people, manage the system? There are many people who are interested in e-learning learning, but who reject or are uncomfortable with computer operation and setting methods. In addition to that, they tilt their heads at the high price of e-learning systems, and their enthusiasm for introducing e-learning cools down. We believe that there are indeed many such persons in charge. learningBOX is an e-learning system that even first-time users can use with confidence. Most e-learning systems on the market today are very expensive, and most services are mainly designed for large companies. The concept of learningBOX is a "cheap and easy-to-use" system. Since its launch in Japan, learningBOX has been used by many small and medium-sized companies and organizations, such as private cram school owners and restaurant owners, who feel that introducing a large e-learning system is too much of a hurdle.

Click here to see the usage scenarios with learningBOX. Click here for case studies LearningBOX is used for in-house training at Monogatari Corporation The company introduced e-learning for promotional examinations at its directly managed stores to develop human resources that will make each individual shine even more brightly. The main issue was the cost and time required for the paper-based examinations, which require participants to travel to Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and other locations from all over Japan for a one- to two-hour exam. The main objective of the project was to reduce the transportation cost and time required for the test. Motivation Switch Group, Inc. uses learningBOX for training exams The fact that learningBOX allows us to take the exams as many times as we want has been very well received by the participants. The training exams that we conduct are not designed to drop students, but to help them understand and consolidate their knowledge quickly, so by using learningBOX, they are able to build on themselves and reach a level of understanding. Also, the time it takes for students to pass the exam has become very short. 8 months was the average before the introduction of learningBOX, but now, it's only 2.1 months. ......... ➡Check out the case study here for more information. Nippon Kotsu Corporation uses learningBOX for new employee training Since the introduction of learningBOX, I feel that the overall understanding has deepened when I talk with the new recruits. Then, every time they have a question, they call us and we go over it in detail and explain it to them. Then we would lightly spend 30 minutes on the phone. This process has been replaced by a conversation that begins with "I looked at the Web" or "I checked the e-learning program," which has considerably shortened the time spent on the phone. Even if we exchange e-mails, we can communicate with each other with some prior knowledge, so it saves time and effort for both parties. .........➡Continue reading this case study A person in charge of e-learning implementation is having a hard time getting his/her head around the introduction of e-learning!

This article is aimed at those who want to learn and use e-learning. This article is aimed at those who want to learn and use e-learning. When you hear the word "e-learning," you may think: ...... You may be thinking, "This sounds difficult, complicated to set up, and I wonder if I can do it myself. You may feel uneasy about e-learning. Let's learn the basics of e-Learning and how it works together with the help of this article! Click here for the Table of Contents 1. What is e-Learning? 2. History of e-Learning 3. Learning Management System (LMS) Supporting e-Learning 4. Summary What is e-Learning? E-learning is a learning system that allows you to "improve your skills at your own pace, unrestricted by time or place" by using electronic devices such as computers and smartphones and the Internet. E-learning is an abbreviation of "electronic learning," and refers to "a form of learning that uses a variety of devices, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets," and is an educational method that makes learning electronic. *Although e-learning nowadays has a strong image of online learning, "offline learning," which combines content stored on recording media such as CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs, was originally common. The Beginning of e-Learning History The origins of e-learning can be traced back to the 1950s, when development began mainly in the United States, based on an idea called CAI, or "Can't computers support education? Although the development of computer-based learning systems has been around since the 1950s, at that time they were still not well known to the public. E-learning, which is used as a matter of course now, was called Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI or WBT) at that time. CAI (computer-assisted instruction or computer-aided instruction) CAI is based on pedagogy (educational technology), learning theory (learning psychology), and information science (information theory). It is the original concept behind today's e-learning, and was utilized to "use computers for school education and training. ⇒ (later to WBT) *CAI research in Japan began in the 1960s, and a pioneering system was put into practical use in the 1970s; however, it did not spread to general educational institutions due to the strong functionality of individual systems tailored to customer specifications and lack of flexibility as a system. WBT (Web Based Training) WBT refers to a system that enables students to learn by distributing educational materials via computers and other devices connected to the Internet. WBT has developed so that learning histories, as well as teaching materials and programs, can be centrally managed on a server. Features of WBT Individual learners can browse materials, take exams, etc. via the Internet Not bound by geographical or time constraints Comprised of a Learning Management System (LMS) that manages both course materials and learner history With the development of WBT and other technologies, the term e-learning emerged in the 1990s. e-learning was initially limited to learning at companies, schools, and home computers. However, as IT infrastructures advanced and smartphones and tablet devices rapidly became popular, mobile learning became possible, regardless of where or when the learning took place. About the History of e-Learning The term eLearning was first used at TechLearn 1999, held in Florida, USA, in November 1999. The various names that had been used until then, such as CAI, WBT, online learning, and distance learning, were combined and presented under the term e-learning for the first time. History of e-Learning Movements in the World 1) 1950s: Started in the U.S. The development of e-learning began mainly in the United States with the idea that computers could be used to support education. (2) 1950s: Appearance and launch of Windows 95 In 1995, Windows 95, which became explosively popular, went on sale, and personal computers spread to ordinary households. (3) 2000s: Full-scale introduction of PCs in Japan In 2000, the Mori Cabinet of the time launched the "e-Japan Concept," which aimed to create a Japanese-style IT society. 4) 2000s: Smartphones and tablets become popular In the late 2000s, smartphones such as the iPhone and Android, as well as larger tablets, began to appear, and e-learning underwent further major changes. 5) 2020s: Rapid market growth due to the coronavirus The spread of the new coronavirus will lead to a rapid increase in home-based learning at schools and telecommuting at companies. A major change in Japan occurred in the year 2000. The "e-Japan Concept" was launched by the then Mori Cabinet to create a Japanese-style IT society, and in 2001 the Japan E-Learning Consortium, a non-profit organization, was established to promote e-learning in earnest. Windows 95 was released in 1995. Windows 95 changed the history of e-learning and was the catalyst for the spread of computer-based learning and training. With the advent of e-learning, our learning has shifted from analog to digital. With the advent and evolution of e-learning, learners are now able to improve their skills 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without worrying about who is watching. Until digital devices became commonplace, it was commonplace for our learning and training to take place in the form of so-called group classes and group training. Many learners gathered in one place, and everything from test distribution to grading and checking learning progress was costly. Nowadays, e-learning is becoming mainstream, using mobile devices such as smartphones, allowing students to study "easily, anywhere". Current Status of e-Learning and Future Challenges With the spread of the Internet, PCs, and smartphones, interactive interaction between instructors and learners has been realized. However, what is attracting attention now is a form of learning in which learners can communicate smoothly with each other to enhance the quality of learning. Communication between learners is expected to be highly effective in improving and maintaining motivation for learning. The Future of E-Learning AI is expected to be utilized in the future. By analyzing large amounts of learning data, AI is expected to further improve learning efficiency by automatically selecting learning content and materials tailored to each individual student. In addition, the use of VR is also advancing, and we are approaching an era in which e-learning will be able to solve problems that have been impossible with conventional e-learning, such as learning involving practical skills. According to Technav, a UK-based technology research firm, the VR education field is expected to grow to a $1.7 billion market by 2021, nine times its current size, making VR x education a field with great potential as a business. Learning Management System (LMS) supporting e-learning Learning Management System (LMS) LMS is an abbreviation for Learning Management System, which is a system that integrates and centrally manages the creation and distribution of learning materials and grade data necessary for e-learning. The structure of an LMS can be broadly divided into e-learning functions and management functions. By implementing an LMS, administrators can centrally manage the progress of learners and their learning outcomes. Background of LMS Development Before the telecommunications environment and in-house network were in place, the Internet was not widely used, and course materials were distributed on recording media such as CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs. In the 2000s, ADSL and fiber-optic lines spread to homes, and all PCs in companies were connected to the network. As PCs were connected to the Internet, LMS (Learning Management System) emerged as software specialized for providing e-learning on the Internet. The creation of an online e-learning learning environment, along with the widespread use of the Internet, and other factors, has expanded the opportunities for companies to adopt e-learning. When LMSs first appeared, they were primarily used by large corporations. Large companies used their capital and technological capabilities to develop their own LMS and teaching materials on that LMS, which could only be used by a small number of companies and organizations. *ADSL: An Internet service that uses an analog telephone line to transmit data through an ADSL modem. Main Functions of LMS The Japan E-Learning Consortium, a non-profit organization promoting the spread and standardization of e-learning, introduces the main functions of LMS as follows Registration, modification, and deletion of learners Registration of teaching materials, assignment of teaching materials to learners Management of individual learner's learning history, learning progress, and grades Grade tallying and statistical analysis functions Setting up a bulletin board for information sharing and sending e-mails to learners Reference source: Japan E-Learning Consortium Four major functions of LMS The LMS has four major functions: "managing teaching materials," "distributing teaching materials," "managing accounts," and "managing grades. LMS Function #1: Managing Course Materials Some LMS functions only allow the use of educational materials that have been pre-registered by the operator. A system that allows users to register their own content or create content within the system may be called an "LCMS" among LMSs. LMS Function #2: Distribution of Learning Materials All learning materials for e-learning are stored in the LMS, and the materials stored in the LMS are distributed to students' devices via the Internet. The "doing" functionality, such as playing videos, learning content, and administering exams. Although these functions are always present in any LMS, the types of learning materials that can be handled differ depending on the LMS. LMS Function 3: Managing Accounts Allow users to register themselves The administrator registers each user one by one. The administrator registers each user by CSV file. ・Administrator registers by CSV LMS Function #4: Managing Grades The LMS also records all of the learner's learning status. Therefore, even if there are many students in a large company, the learning status can be centrally managed, and learners can be managed and analyzed in various segments. Unification of standards by SCORM If LMSs are provided by many different companies and are based on different standards, user convenience and ease-of-use will be compromised. Therefore, the LMS industry proposed the establishment of a standard called SCORM. SCORM is a standard for e-learning platforms and content. It has been established by the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative (ADL), a U.S. Department of Defense-affiliated standards organization. The SCORM standard is now the standard so that materials can be compatible even if different LMSs are used by different providers. You can read more about SCORM here. Conclusion In this article, we introduced the history of e-learning, the history of e-learning, and learning management systems that support e-learning. In the next article, we will discuss how to use e-learning and the benefits of e-learning, based on the articles introduced in this issue, in accordance with the customer's usage scenario. Thank you very much for your patience.
E-learning - free

Advance notice of the fee structure with the addition of the new feature "Upgrade in the middle of the contract period" from Ver2.13.

Important Notice Various upgrades will be available during the contract period starting with the version upgrade to Ver. 2.13 series scheduled around January 2021. This is an advance notice of the fee structure for upgrading in the middle of the contract period in conjunction with the addition of this functionality. This is an advance notice because of the importance of the fee structure. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Please be assured that there will be no change to the existing fee structure for contracts from free to paid plans and for renewal of paid plans. (This explanation is only for the case of upgrading in the middle of the contract period.) (This is only an explanation for upgrading in the middle of the contract period.) *From Ver. 2.12, the function to add only the number of users via the web is already supported for upgrading in the middle of the contract period. The fee structure for Ver. 2.12 may be more economical than Ver. 2.13, depending on the applicable period for adding the number of users. (Depending on the contents of your contract, we may not be able to accommodate your request via the web.) Click here for Table of Contents 1. what does "upgrade in the middle of the contract term" mean? 2. 4 types of mid-contract upgrades are available 3. notes on fee structure 4. other remarks What does "upgrade in the middle of the contract term" mean? For example, have you ever done this? We need to use learningBOX in other departments at a moment's notice, and the number of accounts we have now is not enough. We are using more and more videos in our teaching materials, and we are running out of space if we stay on the starter plan. There was an urgent request from within the company for an LMS with an original design. In order to respond to these requests, we have added a new feature that allows customers to add more users or upgrade their licenses even in the middle of the contract period, without calling us. If you have any of the problems listed above, we hope you will consider this feature. In addition, we are available for upgrades by phone or email. Please feel free to contact us. (Please note that we may not be able to support your request depending on the contents of your contract or combination of contracts. Please understand in advance.) Four types of upgrades are available during the contract period The following four types of items are supported by this new functionality for upgrading during the contract period. 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. Important】The fee calculation method will be changed from March 8, 2021. Click here for details. 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. In that case, we will inform you separately. Details of the upgrade function will be introduced at the time of the 2.13 release. 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.

A study method that gets you results in less time! E-learning is the best way to prepare for the exam

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.

Advantages and disadvantages of e-learning implementation

Dramatic change with e-learning! What are the advantages and disadvantages of implementing

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! Learn more about learningBOX's EC function in this article. Introduction of learningBOX case studies We would like to introduce some examples of e-learning cases in which learningBOX is actually being used by companies that have created their own teaching materials. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about e-learning implementation. Online meetings are also available. What has changed since we started using ▼learningBOX? Improvement! Conclusion In this article, we have explained the "advantages and disadvantages" of implementing e-Learning. The introduction of e-learning offers many advantages not only to the company operating it, but also to the learner! 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. We, of course, use learningBOX for training, but most of our teaching materials are created in-house. LearningBOX can be used for up to 10 accounts for an unlimited period of time, free of charge. Please try our easy-to-use, instruction-free service!
