E-Learning System for International Users Nice to meet you! My name is Mukai, and I am a sales representative. It's been almost nine months since I joined the company, and I'm learning every day. To begin with, I would like to talk about something that often comes up during meetings with our customers. One of the topics that comes up frequently these days is that we hear many people say that they want to use the system for training foreigners working in Japan. It seems that more and more foreign employees are being hired as part of globalization. E-learning is suitable for employee training, and we understand that many people are using it. However, if the e-learning system does not support language switching, foreign employees may not understand the operation of the system and may be confused before receiving the training. LearningBOX, a learning management system (LMS), allows you to switch the language to English, making it easier for foreigners to learn. This paper introduces the operation method for switching to English and the communication problems of foreign workers, which have been increasing more and more in recent years. Click here for Table of Contents 1. how to change the language setting to English 2. the increasing number of foreign workers and communication problems 3. using e-learning to create a comfortable workplace for foreign workers 4. summary How to change language settings to English Let's take "Google Chrome," which has a high market share ranking among web browsers in Japan, as an example to change the language setting. STEP1 First of all, open Google Chrome Select "︙ (three vertical dots)" to open the Chrome menu. Click on Settings STEP2 Change the language settings from the settings screen Click on "Settings" and go to the bottom and you will see "Advanced Settings". Click on "Advanced Settings". Click on "V" next to the language you wish to change. STEP3 Change the language setting from Japanese to English Click on "English ︙" in the list of languages displayed under "Sort languages in the desired order. Click "Move to Top" to move English to the top. STEP4 English setting completed Click "English ︙" as before, and click "Google Chrome" in this language to proceed. The language will be changed to "English. The language of learningBOX is now set to English When you log in to learningBOX, you will see that the language in the system has been changed to English. Currently, some menus are still in Japanese, but we are working to correct this as needed. Increasing number of foreign workers and communication problems The number of foreign workers in the country has doubled over the past few years. Their share of the domestic labor force is also increasing and exceeded 2% in 2018. According to estimates by the Japan Research Institute, if foreign workers are accepted at the current pace, their share of the working population is expected to reach 5-6% by 2030. Municipalities with large numbers of foreign workers Dantotsu No. 1 is Tokyo The number one ranking of localities with large foreign populations is Tokyo by a landslide. The number of foreign residents in Tokyo is 521,502, accounting for 20% of all foreign residents. Of these, approximately 229,000 are engaged in labor, which is also the highest number in Japan. The reason for this top spot is that many companies have their headquarters here, as well as educational institutions, which attracts a large number of foreign students and highly-skilled personnel in fields such as technology, humanities, and international business. Unexpectedly large number of Aichi Prefecture In second place is Aichi Prefecture with 235,320 residents. The percentage of foreign residents in Aichi Prefecture is approximately 9.2% of the total, and Brazilians are particularly numerous in the prefecture. The reason for the large number of Brazilians is that Aichi Prefecture is home to the plants of leading Japanese companies such as Toyota Motor Corporation, and many of them work there. There are also many foreign students living in the area. One reason is the high hourly wage. The minimum wage in Aichi Prefecture is the fourth highest in Japan, more than 100 yen higher than in Fukuoka and Okinawa, where there are many other foreign students. Third place goes to Osaka Prefecture, a popular tourist destination Third place goes to Osaka Prefecture. The number of foreigners residing in Osaka Prefecture is 225,269, or 8.8% of the total. The foreigners who are particularly numerous in Osaka are considered to be Koreans and Koreans. Osaka has become a popular destination for tourists in recent years. In 2009, approximately 11.11 million foreign tourists visited Osaka, which is the second largest number in Japan as a whole. The number of tourists visiting Osaka was approximately 1.58 million in 2011, a seven-fold increase in six years. Communication Problems with Foreign Workers Foreign workers are said to be difficult to train, and communication problems are said to be the main reason for this. Let's take a closer look. Cases where smooth communication is not possible due to language barriers It was difficult to convey words and meanings even if I wanted to pay attention to them. It was difficult to convey the unique and delicate Japanese expressions (colors and nuances) because they were not understood at all. Trouble caused by differences in values and culture It was difficult to convey my feelings to them because they did not understand my tatemae, which is a Japanese way of speaking. The rules of time were not well observed. We explained to them again, for example, "Please come to the office on time because the starting time of work is fixed. There was a time when even being five minutes late was not a big deal, and it annoyed those around me. Using e-Learning to Create a Comfortable Workplace for Foreign Workers Why do Japanese people find it difficult to train foreign workers? In addition to the "language barrier," many people feel "bewilderment at the differences in lifestyle and culture. This is thought to be due to the fact that when foreign workers become co-workers, they have more opportunities to come into contact with things that are unfamiliar to Japanese people, such as ideas about work and religious beliefs. With e-learning, you can teach Japanese culture, common sense, and manners using a smartphone or computer. Depending on the learner's level, they can learn Japanese language and acquire the skills necessary for work. The feature of our e-Learning system is that you can 'proceed with learning and training as a course study. Features of learningBOX!

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.

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. [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"!

On the Forefront of Online Learning! What is the LMS that Supports e-Learning [2021]? My name is Kidaoka, and I am in charge of marketing. In this article, we will introduce in detail "LMS functions and mechanisms," which are indispensable for e-learning. Recently, the number of companies introducing LMS has been increasing every year as teleworking is promoted due to the impact of the spread of the new coronavirus. ▼ This article is recommended for customers with such concerns! 1. want to conduct human resources training effectively 2. To centralize the management of internal training programs. 3. To reduce transportation and accommodation costs of employees for training, and to reduce training costs. 4. To visualize in-house know-how and share it at the organizational level. Click here to see the table of contents 1. What is LMS? 2. Standardization of LMS by SCORM 3. What has become possible through the use of LMS 4. Human Resource Education in the Corona Era 5. Summary What is LMS? LMS stands for (Learning Management System), also known as a learning management system. An LMS is a system that integrates and centrally manages not only e-learning materials, learning, and grade management, but also training and course applications and learner progress. It is being developed as a platform with comprehensive functions necessary for corporate human resource development. It refers to an environment that serves as the foundation or infrastructure for systems and services that deliver e-learning via the Internet. By utilizing IT technology, learners can receive training from remote locations or from home. By utilizing an LMS, "it is possible to enhance the learning effectiveness of the entire organization while improving operational efficiency." Purpose of the LMS As the name implies, LMS was originally developed for the purpose of distributing e-learning materials created by e-learning to learners and managing learning results as data. Prior to the widespread use of the Internet, e-learning materials were used for training, with CDs and DVDs and PCs being used together. The administrator only had to deliver the CDs or DVDs to the learners and they could start learning. However, the disadvantage of the conventional method was that it was difficult to keep the learners motivated and motivated, and the administrator could not monitor the learners' progress or performance at all. The problem was that the administrator had no way of knowing: 1. whether the learner had completed the course or not; 2. how much progress had been made; and 3. 2. how much progress has been made? 3. which courses are necessary for the learner? The training program was progressing without control over this information. In addition, there was no way to improve the training content or verify its effectiveness. This is where the LMS came in! With the advent of the LMS platform, a system is now in place to manage the information necessary for e-learning operations in an integrated manner. Administrators and educators can now obtain learner learning data and performance data in real time and strategically educate human resources. With the advent of LMS, "learners can check their own learning history and test results, and receive support and feedback at the most appropriate time. Main Functions of the LMS LMS functions can be divided into two main categories: for learners and for administrators. The two main functions of the LMS are for learners and for administrators: "Which materials and courses should I assign to which learners? and "How many learners are taking a course? There are many LMSs on the market with a wide variety of functions. The Japan E-Learning Consortium, a non-profit organization that promotes and standardizes e-learning, introduces the main functions of LMSs as follows ◆Main Functions of LMS 1. learner registration, modification, and deletion 2. registration of teaching materials, assignment of teaching materials to learners 3. Management of individual learner's learning history, learning progress, and grades 4. Grade aggregation and statistical analysis functions 5. Setting up a bulletin board for information sharing and sending e-mails to learners. Reference source: Japan E-Learning Consortium Brief summary of LMS features E-learning using an LMS manages the learning status on a server, so the learning status can be checked in real time. By centrally managing learning information, it can be expected to prompt appropriate action to those who are behind in learning and to continuously improve the quality of learning materials based on analysis of correct and incorrect information. Benefits for Learners Easy to understand the flow of learning from start to finish Real-time display of learning progress rate and test results helps to maintain motivation. The learning history can be viewed, so you can grasp your strong and weak areas. The ability to take courses at any time and any place (without IP restrictions, etc.) depending on the company. Advantages for Administrators ・Cost containment and rapid implementation are possible. Progress of each learner and test results can be viewed and extracted in CSV format. The system automates the tallying of student study time and test corrections, thereby reducing workload. Data can be centrally managed on the server, making it easier to manage students and course materials. In addition to being able to manage the progress and grades of all learners, the LMS is also characterized by its ability to easily grasp the strengths and weaknesses of each learner through the quantification and graphing of grade data. Standardization of LMS with SCORM SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a global standard for e-learning developed by the ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative), an American standards organization. SCORM is a global standard for e-learning established by ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative), an American standards organization. It is a standard for e-learning and defines specifications for combining LMS (Learning Management System) and teaching materials. It is possible to use materials from different companies as long as they are compliant with SCORM. In Japan, the Japan e-Learning Consortium certifies LMSs and content, as well as SCORM-related qualifications. The Two Roles of SCORM SCORM has two major roles. 1. to register teaching materials with the system 2. to exchange grades and other information between the system and the teaching materials. *These are defined as the standard specifications, allowing for the combination of different vendor's teaching materials and LMS (Learning Management System). Advantages of SCORM Before the advent of SCORM, teaching materials created by Company A could only be used with Company A's LMS. Unless Company A and Company B had a business alliance and shared common specifications, basically Company A's content could only be used on Company A's LMS, and Company B's content could only be used on Company B's LMS. However, with the advent of SCORM, LMS (Learning Management System) and educational materials (content) interoperability can be realized. ▼The article about SCORM is explained in detail here. What can now be achieved by using an LMS With the advent of LMS, even on-site personnel can easily manage e-learning. Learner performance data, learning materials, and even programs can now be centrally managed on the Web, reducing the burden on administrators and enabling more effective and efficient operations. The system enables quick and flexible response to student registration, student management, updating of course materials, and program maintenance while reducing costs, and allows learners to study anytime, anywhere with the latest environment and materials. By capturing such user information and learning data, such as login status, course frequency, test results, and whether or not a student has completed the prescribed course, the system is expected to provide "educational materials tailored to each individual within the company or organization and to each individual. Tatsuno Information System's LMS is an e-learning system focused on ease of use and low cost Tatsuno Information System's LMS (Learning Management System), "learningBOX", is designed from the user's perspective, not the developer's. learningBOX is an e-learning "box" that enables the construction and management of a conventional learning environment on the Web. Inside this box, learning materials such as videos and PDFs, questions and tests, and grades are stored, and the system manages the learning process. If you have any of these problems, learningBOX can solve them! 1. You already have an LMS (Learning Management System) in place, but you find it difficult to operate, set up, and understand the system. 2. You have a problem that only a person with IT knowledge can set up and manage the system. 3. I want to reduce the cost of the LMS. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about e-learning implementation. Online meetings for introduction support are also available. Here is a summary of learningBOX case studies. Here is what has changed by using learningBOX! Improvements have been made! We have collected some of the happy voices after the introduction of learningBOX, including the following. What are the "learningBOX implementation effects" that users have actually felt? 1. Online examinations can be taken at home in response to the new normal society! 2. Flexibility to respond immediately to requests and support was excellent! 3. the ability to study over and over again, which was very much appreciated. ⇒A list of case studies using learningBOX can be found here.

The third wave has arrived, and many companies are still struggling to cope with it. Across Japan, economic activity has stagnated, business performance has declined significantly, and many organizations are still operating at a loss. Impact of the spread of the new coronavirus on companies By 17:00 on August 3, Tokyo Shoko Research, Inc. reported 11 "new corona"-related business failures (liabilities of 10 million yen or more) (11 bankruptcies), bringing the total number of cases since February to 385 (321 bankruptcies, 64 cases with discretionary attorney or in preparation). Although not included in the total, 12 small bankruptcies with debts of less than 10 million yen have been identified.

The IT industry, which has been positively affected, actually had many business closures! Source: Chat Plus Corporation|from a survey on the impact of the new coronavirus on various industries Digital communication required in the age of coronavirus Due to the still-unabated spread of the coronavirus, many companies are now faced with the urgent task of understanding and reviewing their fixed costs and expenses in order to ensure business continuity. In some cases, costs related to human resource development, education, and training may also be subject to cost review. How can we recover and expand our business performance as an organization in the with-corona era? As we have to survive in a society coexisting with the coronavirus, the most important issue for executives and managers is how to recover and expand the business performance of their own organizations. The social changes caused by the coronavirus are an opportunity to change many things. In order to recover deteriorating business performance, recover losses, and achieve sustainable organizational growth, marketing and management strategies, human resource training, and the management skills to implement these strategies are necessary. Conclusion In this article, we have introduced in detail "LMS functions and mechanisms," which are indispensable for e-learning. While e-learning and LMS are attracting attention, many managers may be troubled by their high running costs. However, corporate human resource development is an investment, not a cost. Human resource development is connected to the "company power" of corporate management. By all means, let us overcome the adversity of the recession together through employee training!

How can e-learning be used for learning? Hello. My name is Kidaoka, I am in charge of marketing. I understand that there are many people, regardless of industry, who are concerned about the education, guidance, and training of students and young employees at schools and companies, such as training for new employees, employee education and guidance methods, declining academic performance, and study method problems. Many of you may have been appointed to be in charge of education and are worried and anxious about where to start. This problem is deep and common regardless of the industry. How can we improve the learning effect and provide reproducible education within a limited time and cost? In this article, we will discuss how to make the most of e-learning. Table of Contents 1. Learning Methods Using e-Learning What is LMS (Learning Management System) Case Studies QuizGenerator 5. learningBOX 6. Summary Learning Methods Using e-Learning First of all, e-learning is a system that enables employees to learn and study on the Internet using PCs and mobile devices. e-learning is expected to reduce the coordination, time, and cost of renting a training facility or inviting outside instructors when taking in-house training. To begin with, what is e-Learning, and for what purposes is it used and introduced? Advantages of e-Learning Self-paced learning Provides up-to-date materials to all learners in a uniform manner No time and place constraints Tailored to the individual's level of understanding, ability, and goals ・Adds depth of understanding through audio and video Conventional learning methods involve "person-to-person" education, where the instructor lectures directly to the student at a specific place and time. In contrast, e-learning is conducted via a network using terminals such as PCs, tablets, and smartphones. It is a learning style that enables students to "receive education anytime, anywhere, and at any time," and is often used interchangeably with "educational IT" and "web learning/online learning" because it is a system that combines IT information technology and network-based learning. The Internet and advances in IT technology have attracted more and more attention, and companies, schools, and society as a whole are pinning their hopes on its potential for ease of use and learning effectiveness. What is LMS (Learning Management System)? An LMS is a system that integrates and manages the delivery of learning materials, grades, etc., necessary for implementing e-learning. In general, it provides the following functions Registration, modification, and deletion of learners Registration of teaching materials and assignment of teaching materials to learners Management of individual learner's learning history, learning progress, and grades Aggregation of grades and statistical analysis functions Setting up a bulletin board for information sharing and sending e-mails to learners. Case Study We would like to introduce a case study of a teacher at a vocational school who used our learning environment to create and build an e-learning program. "A Case Study of Using e-Learning to Prepare for the National Examination for Speech-Language Pathologists" (in Japanese) Speech-language pathologists provide rehabilitation for people who have difficulty in speaking, hearing, eating, and swallowing due to illness or birth defects, and restore their language and hearing abilities. Most are three-year vocational schools or four-year universities, and for those who have already completed designated courses, there are two-year graduate schools, majors, and technical schools. Currently, 61 schools in Japan are designated by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare to train speech-language pathologists. Encounter with e-Learning As a teacher at a vocational school, I was in charge of preparation for the national examination for speech-language pathologists in 2017. The medical field has a very large number of subjects with a wide variety of difficult words, contents, and things to remember. When preparing for the national exam, there were not many resources and reference books available on the market, so I was very concerned about how to prepare for the national exam. How can we effectively promote good study and learning methods and bring students closer to passing the national exam? I spent my days asking myself these questions. With these thoughts in my mind, I happened to see "e-learning study" on the Internet. As I read more and more, I came across "QuizGenerator," a free web-based educational material creation service provided by Tatsuno Information Systems. Before introduction I found e-learning learning to be a great way to learn, but I wondered if I would be able to successfully create, manage, and update educational materials by myself. I had no knowledge of computers, was not very good at operating them, and the mere mention of the word "IT" made me defensive. I am not able to take a new step forward. What if I fail? The more I think about it, the more anxious I get. However, I feel sorry for the children who are going to be active in society and will be able to show their eyes in the future if I continue to study the way I have been studying and doing things the way I have been doing them. As the information society advances, we teachers and schools must adopt study methods that match the times. I decided that I had no choice but to be courageous. After the introduction One of the biggest changes since the introduction of e-learning is that students are now more motivated to learn and actively participate. Even children who had been conservative about studying began to tackle problems on their own initiative, and by learning according to their objectives and level, their ability to self-analyze and their awareness of their own weakness in studying diminished. *Unlike traditional study methods, e-learning learning is not restricted by time or place, and allows students to solve problems at their own level at their own preferred time. This is probably because of the fact that each individual can freely proceed with his or her own study without having to worry about the eyes of others. With limited time available for each student, it was difficult to provide appropriate guidance to those who needed it. The "e-learning study" we used this time overturned the passive learning style we had been using and created independence for the students. Let us introduce our e-learning service, which created the independence of the students. QuizGenerator QuizGenerator allows anyone to create quizzes easily and for free. Anyone, even those who do not know programming, can create quizzes in a wide variety of question formats! You can use it on smartphones, tablets, PCs, etc. Almost all functions are free for commercial use. Using the question creation form, you can easily create questions as if you were using Word.

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.

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.

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 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.
