IT Reforms in Local Governments for the Realization of a Digital Society Hello, I am Morishita of the Development Department. It will soon be a year and a half since I joined Tatsuno Information Systems. These days, I spend most of my time writing programs! Recently, I am grateful for the presence of PM (Project Manager) and manage to struggle with difficult tasks. We are looking for someone with PM experience. Would you like to work with us? ▼ Now to the main topic! In this article, I would like to share with you some of the initiatives and trends toward the realization of digitalization in government, where the use of IT is lagging behind. In the response to the new coronavirus infection, there have been various issues such as insufficient use of cross-sectional data among regions and organizations. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) has recommended that national and local government systems be unified/standardized for the digitization of local administration. In the Digital Reform Bill approved by the Cabinet on March 9, the government proposes to mandate the unification of business system specifications by FY2025 in order to accelerate the digitization of public administration by promoting the unification of local government systems and the use of My Number.

Standardization of Local Government Information Systems 2. The My Number System, the Foundation for the Digitization of Public Administration 3. Use of My Number to be Expanded to School Education in FY2023 4. Linking My Number to e-Learning Systems 5. Summary Standardization of Local Government Information Systems In the response to the new coronavirus, various issues regarding digitization were revealed, including delays in digitization and lack of human resources at national and local governments, administrative inefficiencies resulting from inadequate system coordination, and delays in complicated procedures and benefits. The development of ICT in recent years, as represented by the Internet, has been remarkable, and while many digitalization platforms for efficient organizational management and convenient and safe service provision through the use of IT have already been implemented in the private sector, they are still far from sufficient in local governments. You can read more about ICT in this article. The Importance of Digitization in Local Governments In an aging society with a declining birthrate, people must concentrate on tasks that only people can do, and actively digitize those areas that can be digitized. The use of digital technology will lead to the creation of a system that facilitates the implementation of "management and analysis of information collection and effective actions with a high level of evidence," which local governments have been weak at in the past. The promotion of digitalization is expected to have the effect of increasing the management awareness and monetization mindset of local governments. However, it is also true that the degree of utilization of digital technology varies markedly among many municipalities. The concept of "Digital Transformation (DX)" is now attracting attention. Companies are expected to break away from existing businesses and create new value by utilizing new digital technologies. The promotion of the digitization of all socioeconomic activities by the public is not merely the introduction of new technologies, but the transformation of systems, policies, and the way organizations are organized, etc., in line with the new technologies. For more information on digital transformation (DX), please refer to this article. Government Initiatives for Digitalization The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) has proposed that local governments be obliged to adopt core information systems within a transition period as a way to accelerate the unification and standardization of local government business systems, and to set a target date and create an environment in which local governments can begin preparing for the transition. According to a survey conducted by the Information and Communication Research Institute in 2016, the implementation rate of ICT utilization projects exceeded 601 TP3T in the fields of "education, disaster prevention, and crime prevention," while the rate was only about 201 TP3T in the fields of infrastructure, industrial promotion, and employment. ▼Survey and research on the current status of ICT utilization in the region (2017) Source: Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications|From ICT Utilization by Sector About the My Number System, which is the foundation for the digitization of public administration In his policy speech at the 203rd session of the Diet (extraordinary session) on October 26, 2020, Prime Minister Kan advocated the promotion of digitization of national and local government administration by breaking down the stove-piping between ministries and agencies and local governments. In addition, he proposed that the integration of the health insurance card and the My Number Card be started in March 2021, and that the digitalization of the driver's license be promoted. Purpose of the My Number System The My Number System aims to "realize a fair and just society," "improve convenience for citizens," and "enhance administrative efficiency" by utilizing the number as a common social infrastructure. The My Number system will be introduced based on the four number-related laws enacted and promulgated in May 2013, including the Law Concerning the Use of Personal Identification Number in Administrative Procedures (hereinafter referred to as "Number Law"). Use of My Number will be expanded to school education in FY2023. The My Number system is being promoted at the initiative of the government, and recently, its use in the field of education is being considered. In the education field, it is planned to link learner IDs, which are necessary for the utilization of learning histories that are the focus of the GIGA school concept, to MY number and make them available to families and schools that wish to use them starting in FY2023. What is the GIGA School Concept? GIGA School is an initiative launched by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology that aims to realize "education tailored to the individuality of each child. It is a five-year plan to provide each student receiving compulsory education with a personal computer and a high-speed network environment. In addition, an "e-learning system" will be introduced to support the work of teachers and staff, with the aim of reforming their work styles. This plan, launched in December 2019, is an effort to realize effective learning in the new era through the improvement and utilization of the ICT environment. In the wake of the recent Corona disaster, IT reform is becoming increasingly important, and educational institutions are also undergoing IT reform. Information Linkage in the My Number System Information linkage under the My Number System is a system that allows residents to omit documents (copies of residence certificates, taxation certificates, etc.) submitted to administrative agencies for various procedures by exchanging personal information between different administrative agencies, etc. using a dedicated information provision network system. The government plans to verify the linkage between the my number card and the learner ID of the educational support tool (LMS) introduced by each school starting in FY2010 with the target year of 2023. Regarding operation in school education Many people change the organization they belong to over time throughout their lives, from elementary school to university, study abroad, employment, and so on. However, since each individual's learning history and achievements exist separately, it takes an enormous amount of time and effort to compile records of what they actually "learned" and "worked on" there. If data can be accumulated not only on school learning history but also on work performance, it will be useful for a wide range of purposes, such as improving treatment within the company or changing jobs, and will motivate working people to continue learning. If a learner ID can be identified by personal identification using a personal number card, it will be possible to update one's learning history on a daily basis anytime and anywhere, and to easily carry it with one when needed. In fact, this kind of initiative was mentioned at the Keidanren EdTech Strategy Study Group meeting held in March 2020, where the necessity of "building and utilizing a system for recording learning history" and the usefulness of "data linkage using learner IDs" were discussed. Regarding learner IDs, the current situation is that private companies issue IDs for each of their services and products. As a result, it is a time-consuming operation that requires reviewing data linkage due to class changes, etc. Therefore, by establishing a mechanism that allows single sign-on with a single ID (assuming the OAuth mechanism is in place) and linking with IDs issued by private companies, it will be possible to use learning products provided by private companies. Furthermore, if the IDs can be extended to include the accumulation of learning logs, it will be possible to construct a mechanism to record learning histories and to compare and analyze the collected data. One idea would be to use the student's personal ID number as the ID for this purpose.

Currently, various e-Learning systems are used by different organizations. learningBOX is an LMS (Learning Management System) that can be easily set up even by first-time users learningBOX, Tatsuno Information System's LMS, is designed not from the developer's perspective, but from the user's perspective. learningBOX is an e-learning system that anyone can use easily. It is a learning management system with all the functions required for an e-learning system, including "creation of teaching materials, creation of questions and tests, and grading and grade management. Benefits and Expectations of e-Learning Systems Once an e-Learning system is in place to continuously accumulate an individual's learning history, it will be useful for analysis and forecasting. Schools can use the learning data of enrolled students to measure the effectiveness of education, and companies can analyze the relationship between the hiring stage, post-employment personnel evaluation, internal training and performance, and so on. Conclusion In this article, we have introduced trends in the digitization of government administration toward the realization of digitalization of local governments. The My Number system is being promoted at the initiative of the government, and recently it is also being considered for use in the education sector. One of the requirements for e-learning systems to be adopted by many organizations in the future is "whether or not it is a flexible LMS that can be externally linked. In the turbulent post-Corona era, the emphasis is on the ability to utilize diverse human resources with different ideas and abilities within an organization, and organizations that can shift from conventional homogenized learning to "individually optimized learning" will survive. The mission of e-learning systems also lies in this point, and it is a sobering thought every day. We are working hard to develop highly flexible e-learning systems that meet the needs of our customers. We plan to continue developing highly convenient functions in the future! If you are thinking of introducing an e-learning system, we hope you will consider our learningBOX.

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.

Current and Future Trends in the E-Learning Market in 2021 Hello, everyone. This is the Tokyo team of Tatsuno Information Systems. The year 2020 was marked by sad news due to the spread of the new coronavirus. I don't think anyone expected such an era to come. Many companies have made a turnaround from the traditional way of working and shifted to remote work from the perspective of infection control. It was also a year of diversity in working styles, with people moving away from Tokyo and changing their lifestyles. More educational institutions such as high schools and universities introduced online classes using e-learning instead of face-to-face classes. The rapid spread of remote work and online learning is forcing major changes throughout society. E-learning is gradually becoming a familiar part of our lives. So how is e-learning changing? We have researched the results of a survey on the changing market. Click here to see the table of contents 1. Current status and future trends of the e-learning market in 2021 2. Changes in BtoB and BtoC 3. e-Learning will be increasingly used in 2021 4. Summary Explanation of the Current Status and Future Trends of the e-Learning Market in 2021 Kenneth Research has published a report on "Global Corporate eLearning Market" on September 02, 2020, consisting of in-depth analysis and industry insights for the forecast period 2020-2027. The global enterprise e-learning market is segmented by "by training, by end-user, by technology (mobile e-learning, learning content management system (LCMS), virtual classroom, web-based, podcast, learning management system (LMS), and others) and by region" and the global The e-learning market is expected to witness a significant CAGR during the forecast period 2020-2027. (Reference: Kenneth Research) Global Enterprise E-Learning Market The global eLearning market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 131 TP2T to reach US$93.64 billion between 2020 and 2024. Growth in this market is expected to be fueled by increased student engagement in the classroom through gamification and increased adoption of microlearning. Regional analysis is considered for key regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America is the leading/important region globally in terms of market share due to the region's advanced technology infrastructure coupled with the availability of high-speed Internet connectivity. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is also expected to exhibit the highest growth rate/ CAGR over the forecast period of 2020-2027. According to Eurostat, the total value of the European ICT sector, including ICT manufacturing and ICT services, is estimated to exceed €475 billion in 2017. ICT services consist of computer programming, consulting, and related activities, which accounted for about 49.1% share in 2017 while telecommunications activities accounted for about 30.3% share in this segment. These factors are estimated to have a positive impact on market growth in the coming years. Changes in BtoB and BtoC The e-learning market size in FY 2019 continues to expand steadily with a steady increase in the number of users and diversification of services offered. In BtoB, the market will gain momentum from the revitalization of corporate investment in human resource development. In FY2019, the size of the domestic e-learning market is expected to increase 7.7% year-on-year to ¥235.4 billion. The breakdown is 68.4 billion yen (+5.2% YoY) for the BtoB market for corporations (including individuals within companies and organizations) and 167 billion yen (+8.8% YoY) for the BtoC market for individuals, and both markets are expected to continue expanding. Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market In the BtoB market, e-learning has penetrated more industries and companies than ever before due to the diversification of learning tools with the popularization of smartphones and tablet devices, the evolution of video content, and the ease of use of e-learning due to the development of cloud environments, combined with the revitalization of corporate human resource development needs. e-Learning has penetrated more industries and companies than ever before. Steady sales growth in the BtoC market The size of the domestic e-learning market in FY2020 is forecast to increase 4.5% over the previous year to 246 billion yen. In the current fiscal year, both BtoB and BtoC markets are expected to see an increase in the number of e-learning users as the impact of the new coronavirus infection increases demand for distance learning. Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market The BtoC market will see a steady increase in the number of users and the generalization of e-learning as a form of personal learning, due to the penetration of learning styles utilizing smartphones, tablets, and SNS, the evolution of services provided by improved information communication technology, and the emergence of learning services using AI (Artificial Intelligence). The number of users is steadily increasing, and the environment is progressing to generalize e-learning as one of the forms of personal learning. Both the BtoB and BtoC markets are expected to continue to expand in the future. E-learning will be used more and more in 2021 E-learning, which makes full use of multimedia materials such as video and audio as well as text and slides, has many application scenarios. E-learning is a form of learning that is still evolving, and it is also a field in which new methods of utilization are being tested. E-learning has the potential to provide "optimal learning for each student," which has been an issue in traditional schools. Obtaining qualifications through e-learning By offering national qualifications, private courses, and certification exams as e-learning, even busy businesspeople can make effective use of their spare time to study, and they can repeat difficult-to-understand sections as many times as they like in their own time. Many of the certification exams and courses that used to require attending lectures at certification schools are now offered through e-learning. Language Learning with e-Learning As with certification acquisition, learning a foreign language used to be done by making an appointment and attending a school. However, as with the acquisition of qualifications, this also had the disadvantage that it was difficult for working people with jobs to continue attending school, and one-on-one lessons, which enhance the learning effect, are expensive. For language acquisition, where continuous learning is important, online learning through e-learning is expected to become the mainstream in the future. Human Resource Development through e-Learning The conventional learning style, including schools, is based on group learning, where participants gather at a predetermined time and place, and the same is true for corporate employee training. Corporate training is not always held like a school. Preparation and costs for new employees and in-house training tend to be high, and it is difficult to manage the learning progress of each participant. To solve these problems, e-learning is attracting attention from companies. E-learning is ideal for corporate employee training, as it allows employees to learn in their spare time without putting pressure on work hours, and the progress can be easily monitored by managers. In addition to having employees take in-house training courses related to business skills, management, and sales, some companies have established their own learning management systems to optimize employee education with original content. ▼ The features of e-learning can be briefly summarized as follows 1. The same quality of education can be provided to a large number of trainees. 2. Optimal education can be provided according to the learning progress of each participant. 3. Significantly reduce the cost of education. 4. Keep the educational content up-to-date. Let's create "training, examinations, and correspondence courses" with learningBOX! learningBOX is an e-learning creation system that focuses on "ease of use" and "low cost. It is an LMS with all the functions necessary for e-learning, including the creation of teaching materials, questions and tests, and grading and grade management. What has changed since we started using ▼learningBOX? Improvements! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about e-learning implementation. Introduction support online meetings are also available. Conclusion In this article, we introduced the current status and future trends of the e-learning market in 2021. Today, when information from all over the world can be obtained in an instant through the Internet, it can be said that the globalization of not only the economy but also all "things" and "matters" is accelerating. The reason why more and more companies are focusing on strategic human resource development is to respond quickly to the changes brought about by globalization, and e-learning is the best solution to achieve this. On the other hand, children and students who will have to cope with the drastic changes brought about by globalization also need to develop the ability to think independently and acquire the ability to respond and adapt in a short period of time. The best solution for this is e-learning and adaptive learning.

This is an advance notice to all current users of learningBOX to be prepared for the modification of this function. We are providing this advance notice because email templates are an important feature for members (learners), owners, and grade administrators. Please check this page regardless of whether you are using this function or not. Click here for the Table of Contents About Email Templates 2. types of mail templates 3. for customers who have already changed the default template 4. detailed specifications About Email Templates LearningBOX has an "Email Settings" function that allows you to send an email when you invite or register a member, when you have completed grading a report, or when you have completed learning materials. To access the "Email Settings" function, click on "Administrative Functions" > "Email Settings" to go to the settings screen. Please note: Depending on whether or not you have edited the mail template before, this modification may or may not apply to you. In the 2.13 series, the default mail template will be changed, and the following changes will be applied. Change : Default mail template will be changed + Default footer template will be automatically registered Subject: Emails for which the default template has not been changed If the template has been changed, it will not be applied unless it is set to the default setting. If you have previously changed the default email template, the change will not be applied. If you have previously changed the default email template, the change will not be applied. (The new email template we have prepared for Ver. 2.13 may not be optimal for customers who are already using the system, so there will be no change to the emails of customers who have changed their default email template). If you have never changed your default email template, please check and adjust the new email template as necessary. Please note, this is for customers who have never changed their default email template. For example, in the grade management notification emails, the email template used to not display grades and scores to learners, but with this modification, grades and scores will also be displayed in the new default email template. (See below for details.) If you do not want grades and scores to be displayed in the email, please adjust the text of the new default email template. Types of Email Templates We have prepared new mail templates for each purpose, for example, as shown below. (Multiple templates are available depending on the type of email.) The grade management notification e-mail will show the start date and time of the study, the status (grade) of the study, and other information. Previously, grade management notification e-mails to students only displayed information such as the name of the course materials, but starting with Ver. 2.13, the start date and time of study, study status (grades), and test results (pass/fail) will also be displayed. (The information displayed will vary depending on the email template.) (The information displayed will vary depending on the email template. ▼ Below is an example of an email distribution using the new email template "Notice Regarding Pass/Fail of Examination" from 2.13. The actual pass/fail is displayed. The footer template will be set to a default value. The default footer template will be set in the common item template with the template name default_footer and is ready to use without configuration. The default_footer footer template is editable, but you cannot rename it or delete the template. Changes to this footer template will be reflected as a footer in all default email templates. It can also be inserted into customized mail templates as a {default_footer} label. For customers who have already changed their default email template *The automatic registration of multiple customized email templates for invitation and grade management notifications is only available for new owners who have started using learningBOX for the first time after Ver. 2.13. This does not apply to existing administrators, as there may be some administrators for whom automatic registration is not convenient. Therefore, if you would like to add more types of new email templates, you will need to add them yourself in the system. Detailed specifications We plan to introduce a page on how to use this feature when 2.13 is released, and will announce the scheduled upgrade date of 2.13 as soon as it is finalized.

The Growing Market Size of e-Learning as Demand Grows My name is Kidaoka, and I am in charge of marketing. Online learning using e-learning systems has been attracting a great deal of attention as a means of preventing the spread of the new coronavirus. This is due to the fact that, in addition to measures to prevent coronavirus infection, the traditional methods of employee education, such as group training and on-the-job training, are becoming less and less effective. The research firm Yano Research Institute Ltd. (Nakano, Tokyo) has released a document that forecasts the domestic e-learning market to grow by 4.51 TP2T year-on-year to 246 billion yen in FY2020. According to the data, the demand for online learning is expected to continue even after the spread of the new coronavirus is under control, and the institute analyzed that the provision of learning services using the Internet, such as remote classes and online classes, will become more active at tutoring schools and other institutions where face-to-face classes are not available. In this article, we will introduce the background and reasons why e-learning learning is needed in the coming years. Click here for Table of Contents 1. the movement of the market size of e-learning in 2019 2. e-Learning is attracting attention as employee training 3. the usage scenarios of e-learning learning! 4. efficient human resource development using learningBOX 5. summary The movement of the market size of e-learning in 2019 Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market In BtoB, the market will gain momentum from the revitalization of corporate investment in human resource development The size of the domestic e-learning market in FY2019 is expected to increase 7.7% year-on-year to 235.4 billion yen. The breakdown is 68.4 billion yen (+5.2% YoY) for the BtoB market for corporations (including individuals within companies and organizations) and 167 billion yen (+8.8% YoY) for the BtoC market for individuals, and both markets are expected to continue expanding. Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market According to the article, this shows that the e-learning market is growing in size for both BtoB and BtoC. In the BtoB market, e-learning has penetrated more industries and companies than ever before due to the diversification of learning tools with the generalization of smartphones and tablet devices, the evolution of video content, and the ease of use of e-learning due to the development of cloud environments, combined with the revitalization of corporate human resource development needs. e-Learning has penetrated more industries and companies than ever before. What is BtoB? BtoB (Business to Business) refers to business-to-business transactions, in which a company provides goods or services to another company. Sales are also growing steadily in the BtoC market. In FY2020, the size of the domestic e-learning market is forecast to increase 4.5% over the previous year to 246 billion yen. In the current fiscal year, both BtoB and BtoC are expected to increase the number of e-learning users, as the impact of the new coronavirus infection will boost demand for distance learning. Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market The BtoC market is expected to see a steady increase in the number of users and the generalization of e-learning as a form of personal learning, due to the penetration of learning styles utilizing smartphones, tablets, and SNS, the evolution of services provided by improved information communication technology, and the emergence of learning services using AI (Artificial Intelligence). The number of users is steadily increasing, and the environment is progressing to generalize e-learning as one of the forms of personal learning. Both the BtoB and BtoC markets are expected to continue to expand in the future. What is BtoC? BtoC (Business to Consumer) refers to transactions in which companies provide goods and services to individuals. For example, BtoC refers to companies that sell goods to general consumers, such as consumer electronics manufacturers, apparel companies, and department stores. Reference: In FY2019, the domestic e-learning market size will continue to expand due to a steady increase in the number of users and diversification of services offered. e-Learning is attracting attention as a means of employee training. Many companies are interested in using e-learning to provide learning and training for their employees. However, some of them may be unsure whether their company is the right environment for e-learning and whether it is effective. Why are companies paying attention to e-learning? Let us summarize the reasons. 1: Repetitive learning is possible at any time and any place, and can be adapted to employees' spare time. With the current diversification of work styles, there is a demand for a training style that can be implemented in accordance with employees' timing, regardless of location and time, rather than the traditional uniform employee training. With e-learning, you can simply replace the materials with the latest ones and have everyone take the most up-to-date course. 2: Minimize the amount of money and time spent on human resource development Companies that used to conduct group training often incur large costs for each training session, including venue, transportation, and lodging expenses. In addition, with group training, the education is conducted on an ad hoc basis, and when there are questions later on, the only thing that can be relied on is the minutes of the meeting. However, with e-learning, similar training can be delivered to people in remote locations via the Internet, and an increasing number of companies are using e-learning as a way to reduce costs. To summarize the problems with traditional training It is costly in terms of human and time costs: ・・・・・ Costs are incurred due to securing instructors, participants leaving their normal work duties, and scheduling. In addition, the size of the venue may limit the number of participants, and if more instructors are needed to accommodate the number of participants, the cost may increase accordingly. It takes time to implement the training: ・・・・・ For a training program with a large number of participants, it takes a certain number of days to select a location, adjust the schedule, and plan the content of the training program in order to make the training meaningful. Advantages of e-Learning Easier management of student learning ・Running costs can be reduced. Less time and effort required for advance preparation Unify the quality of education Here are some of the many ways e-learning learning is being used! E-learning is an Internet-based learning method. Learning content, such as videos stored on a server (learning management system), is delivered to students, who take courses using Internet-enabled PCs, tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices. Therefore, as long as there is an e-learning environment, each student can study at his or her own time and place. E-learning has many advantages, but it may be difficult to determine whether it can be used effectively and whether it is suitable for your company. So, how is e-Learning actually used in companies? Here are some examples of how it is used. Use in corporate training for new employees Many companies are introducing e-learning for the purpose of training new employees. The use of e-learning reduces the time and cost required for the training of new employees, and it can also be used to measure the progress of the trainees' learning and achievements, which can be used to make decisions regarding their subsequent assignment to a new company. Use as an internal information sharing tool Some companies introduce e-Learning for the purpose of sharing materials and questionnaires. E-learning is a very useful tool for simultaneously sending and collecting tests and questionnaires for employees. Another important feature of e-Learning is that it can be used according to the level of the organization, department, or individual in the company to provide education tailored to each individual. Efficient human resource development using learningBOX learningBOX is an e-learning system that makes it easy for anyone to start e-learning.

This is Nishimura from the development team. We have been using an instance of AWS (Amazon Web Services) for the development of learningBOX, but we are about to switch to development on our in-house server because of some inconveniences. Click here for the table of contents. 1. inconvenient truth about aws 2. considered commercial PCs... 3. assembled it 4. installing ProxmoxVE 5. steps to speed up the drive on Proxmox 6. moving an instance from an existing proxmox environment 7. so, did it get faster? 8. future plan Inconvenient truth about aws Convenient aws for operation, but not for development environment... Actually, it's not very fast. We mainly used T3 instances for development, but to be honest, T3 instances are not very fast, are they? If you use C5 series or Z1d, you can accelerate up to 4GHz, but honestly speaking, it is expensive. If you want to use multiple cores, the cost will be several times higher. Large instances are expensive. In fact, it may not be very fast, but using an instance with a large memory and fast CPU will cost you several tens of thousands of yen per month. There are no instances that are just right. If the memory required for development is 2.1 GB, you need an instance with 4 GB of memory. Isn't this wasteful? You may be able to get around this by using virtual memory or something, but the moment it no longer fits in the real memory, the processing capacity will drop by an order of magnitude. I want to use an instance of just the right size. I considered a commercial PC, but... I thought about buying a commercial PC and virtualizing it, but I just didn't have the right one. I don't need Windows. I don't need it. I can't remove it, or even if I do, it's not nearly as cheap. I don't need a GPU. Most PCs with fast CPUs have a high-performance GPU. You don't need one. (It may be necessary if desktop virtualization is installed, but this has not been tested.) I don't need a mouse or keyboard. I don't need it. I put it together. If you don't have just the right one, build it! So I assembled a PC for the first time in a year. The parts I used are as follows. All parts are shown except the case. For some reason, the case of a ping-pong racket is shown, but it has nothing to do with the case. Description of main parts Motherboard No particular preference CPU Core i9 10900 I chose this CPU for its single-threaded performance. I considered 10900K, but I thought 0.1GHz was not worth the 20,000 yen difference in price, so I decided to go with 10900. DRAM I installed 32GB of DRAM which is reasonably fast. I will add more if it is not enough. SSD I installed 1TB of a reasonably fast SSD (3GB/s). Power supply I chose a good power supply, as I was told by God that I should buy a good one. GPU Not included for now. Install ProxmoxVE Using an entire PC may be the fastest way, but that is not an effective use of equipment, so we built a virtual environment with ProxmoxVE. On the virtual environment, we are running Amazon Linux 2. The procedure for running Amazon Linux 2 will be introduced in another article. I thought the installation would be a piece of cake, but I wasted a lot of time because of a defective block on the USB flash drive I created for the installation. It would be better to make a habit of checking for bad blocks when making installation media. Steps to speed up the drive on Proxmox This is the one that good kids should not imitate, but you can improve disk IO on a virtual environment by enabling disk caching as much as possible. It will probably be faster than reading/writing directly without the virtual environment. However, good kids should not imitate this procedure, because if the power goes down before the write is completed, it will break. Moving an instance from an existing proxmox environment I got into a lot of trouble, but I won't go into it here because it would take too long to explain. If you read the error messages carefully, you will be able to manage most of the problems. If you don't understand what is wrong even after reading the error messages, you can usually figure it out by reading the source code. Do your best. Migration is not possible if the VM is linked to other VMs. You can't migrate if you are using a physical drive or mounting a device for CloudInit. Remove the device. If you haven't already created a Cluster in your company, create one in your existing Proxmox environment and add a new virtual environment to it. Frankly, I'm not very good at infrastructure, so we're looking for engineers who can manage this area for us! (Working at the head office in Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture) So, did it get faster? We compared the time taken to test our learningBOX (automated backend testing with PHPUnit). Comparison results AWS environment (t2.small): 2.63 minutes Old Proxmox environment (Core i5 9600K): 1.22 minutes New Proxmox environment (Core i9 10900): 1.1 minutes The difference between the two environments below is not big, but the difference between the aws environment and the Proxmox environment is obvious. c5 and others improve a little more, but the difference between the Proxmox environment and the aws environment is still big. Operating frequency during auto-test When there is no load, it is stable at 2.8GHz, but when a load is applied, it instantly rises to around 5GHz. Faster auto-testing directly affects work efficiency. Whether or not strict TDD is performed, automated testing is indispensable for development above a certain scale. If a test results in an error, or if a new test is created, you cannot proceed to the next task until the automated testing process is complete. On a typical day, we may run a test 20 or 30 times per day, and if we can save a minute per test, we can save that much time to develop new features or improve code quality. Future Policies With the construction of the Proxmox environment, we now have two hardware units to support the virtual environment, and we have also achieved migration between virtual environments. However, three servers are required to build a HA (High Availability) environment, and we intend to build a third environment to realize a stable private cloud, even when the Zen3 generation of Ryzen is released.

Hello! My name is Nakanishi from Human Resources. This is my first blog post since joining the company. Nice to meet you! And I hope you will stay with me until the end. In fact, I used to work in human resources, and in the course of my duties, I have implemented all kinds of measures to increase the number of applications from job seekers. Based on this experience, I would like to talk about tips from an HR perspective, from recruiting to hiring, as well as the benefits of implementing online testing and training using e-learning before and after the hiring process. By all means, HR and education professionals, read on so that you can implement recruitment and training practices that will contribute to the growth of your company! Please stay with us until the end! Click here for Table of Contents 1. what are the tips for recruiting jobs efficiently? 2. Why don't you adopt online examinations for recruitment? 3. after recruitment, let's provide "good education" through e-learning. 4. summary What are the tips for recruiting job seekers efficiently? Have you advertised in the recruitment media, but are you worried that you are not getting any applications or that it is costing you a lot of money? （I was like this myself.) (I had this problem myself.) I spent many days trying to figure out how to get talented people to apply for jobs. I would like to share with you a few tips that I have learned through my efforts. Make your job ad title in words that can be read in 5 seconds. First, review your job ad to make sure it is an attractive title that will catch a job seeker's eye. In our research with job site managers, we found that job seekers spend at most five seconds looking at the title of a single job posting. We also found that the most words a job seeker can read in five seconds is about 30 words. In other words, it is not good to be too simple, and it is not good to pack in a lot of information. One way to help with this might be to team up with someone in your company who is good at copywriting or with an outside expert (e.g., a copywriter). Make your keywords attractive to job seekers. When writing job ads, we tend to use keywords that we want to create a good impression of our company. However, if job seekers see the keywords and think, "Really? If the job seeker thinks, "Really? So, the trick is to arrange keywords that attract attention... Keywords of the desired candidate's preferences" + "Words we accept" + "Job description" That's it! Example.) I like games" + "A person with a science and math background is a must" + "A development job at a game app production company." I like fishing" + "I can make the most of my hobby" + "Sales job at a fishing tackle manufacturer" By all means, try to imagine what kind of people might apply for jobs at your company, and create a catchphrase that will stick in the hearts of job seekers! (Good luck trying to find a catchphrase) Why not adopt an online test for your hiring process? When it comes to recruiting, there are other things to consider, such as the cost of job media and techniques to get your job ads to the top of the search results, but that's all for now! From here, I would like to talk about how to bring applicants to the hiring process, as well as the introduction and use of e-learning before and after the hiring process. First, let's talk about "online examinations. Why don't you adopt online examinations using e-learning for your recruitment tests in order to acquire human resources efficiently? Advantages of Conducting Tests and Examinations We recommend conducting tests/examinations when you have a large number of applicants and need to narrow down the field before interviewing, or when you need to measure the skills and abilities required for the job by testing. (Of course, in some cases, applicants may not need to be narrowed down due to qualifications they already possess, etc.) Advantages of using online testing (CBT) First of all, what is an online test (CBT)? Let us explain. CBT stands for Computer Based Testing. It refers to computer-based testing. By taking the test by computer, instead of using paper question papers or mark sheets, it has the advantage of greatly reducing the time and cost required for scoring, scoring, and notification of results. In addition, since the test is taken by computer, questions with audio and video can be used. It also allows applicants to take the online test from the comfort of their own home, as long as they are connected via the Internet. The ability to administer the test at home allows job seekers to take the test themselves at their own convenience, at a time and place of their choosing, without having to arrange a test date and time or test site. This reduces the burden of having applicants come to the company to take a 30-minute test. This is a very important point in this corona disaster. Also, by having them take the test before the interview, both parties can streamline their time when they subsequently come to the company for the actual interview. With online testing, is it safe to cheat? One of the concerns that companies have when conducting online tests is the risk of cheating. However, by utilizing the question creation function of the e-learning system and devising the time limit, number of questions, and content of the questions, the risk can be easily avoided without having to go to the trouble of using expensive anti-cheating tools such as cameras dedicated to online tests. (Incidentally, only our learningBOX offers such a convenient question creation function!) As for online testing, please take a look at the case study of the "Japan Art Examination Association," which conducts online examinations using the EC function of our e-learning system, learningBOX. Although the content of the case study is about "online examinations," it contains a lot of information that will be very helpful for HR personnel as well! ▼ In response to the new normal society, online examinations can be taken at home! (The Art Examination Association of Japan) https://learningbox.online/casestudy/casestudy20201030/ After hiring, provide "good education" through e-learning. After hiring, try to provide "good education" through e-learning in order to make the hired personnel into your company's human resources (←A little old fashioned, isn't it?). Let's provide "good education" through e-learning. For your information, in our case, we create and provide an account on learningBOX for employees who have been offered a job before they join our company, so that they can receive online training through e-learning before they join our company. Don't you think it's very convenient for the new employees to be able to take the training "at any time and any place" before they join the company? Moreover, with the e-learning system, the company can easily check online to see how far the candidate has progressed in his or her studies before joining the company. Please click here to see how we are actually implementing this system! ▼Tatsuno Information Systems Internal Use Cases CS Implementation Support https://learningbox.online/casestudy/casestudy20200204/ Summary From a "human resources" perspective, I wrote this article on tips for recruiting and hiring job seekers, as well as online testing and online training using e-learning before and after the hiring process. By all means, HR and education staff, why don't you introduce an e-learning system to create a system that makes recruitment and training more efficient and effective? If you are interested, please feel free to contact us. We also offer a free plan that you can actually use at learningBOX. After registering for an administrator account, you can take sample exam questions and training courses. For more information, please try out the sample courses on the learning screen after registering for the free plan. It will change your image of e-learning. Start your free trial now!

Gamification for e-Learning: Making Learning Fun! This is Kidaoka, Marketing Manager! In this article, I would like to introduce "gamification," which has been finding increasing use in the education industry in recent years. The main purpose of gamification is to motivate learners using the fun of games! With learningBOX, you can send badges and certificates to members who have met the passing criteria. By incorporating elements used in gamification into e-learning, it is possible to create content that will keep learners engaged. These badges and certificates can be used to visualize the mastery status from grade management, which will help motivate learners to keep up their motivation and pass their assignments. Click here for Table of Contents 1. What is gamification? 2. Game elements essential for gamification 3. learningBOX is e-learning with gamification elements 4. Summary What is gamification? Gamification is a word that was coined from the word "Gamify," which means to turn into a game. Gamification is the application of structures used in games to other fields than games. Gamification is the application of game elements and structures to other fields, and is not something that can be done by "just making a game anyway. Gamification is a type of marketing technique that increases user motivation and loyalty by incorporating game-like elements into services for which games are not the original purpose. Quote: From the IT Dictionary Binary BINARY ▼ A brief explanation of the above definitions. The idea is to apply the elements of games that entertain and enthuse people, such as play and competition, to fields other than games. It refers to a method to attract users through ideas and mechanisms unique to games, to activate their behavior, and to make them aware of appropriate usage. The advantage of gamification is that by incorporating "game-like elements," it is possible to change something uninteresting into something interesting. Games have been played by many people and can provide a stable and interesting experience when pushed as a logic. If you want to know more about gamification, please see this article. ⇒Gamification and e-Learning Features and Benefits of Gamification The ways in which gamification can be incorporated into learning vary in effectiveness, depending on the situation in which it is utilized. Here we introduce three typical effects: "less likely to fail in study," "suitable for rote learning," and "easier to understand complex concepts. 1. easy to continue learning and maintain motivation for learning ⇒ "less likely to fall behind in one's studies Games are inherently task-oriented, and learners are able to feel that they have completed the task, which is expected to lead to continued learning because it is easy for them to feel a sense of growth. The use of gamification in education is expected to have the effect of making it easier to motivate students to learn. 2. it is "suitable for rote learning" through repetitive learning Important information to be memorized can be naturally acquired through the game. For example, there are many services that utilize gamification to have students repeatedly check mistakes or important content. 3. Complex concepts become easier to understand Gamification can be expected to promote understanding of complex concepts. For example, gamification can be used to explain in video what is difficult to understand in words alone, or to help people remember what is difficult to remember through conversations with characters or in a storyline. Game elements indispensable for gamification Visualize the learner's attitude and efforts toward studying, and provide feedback on detailed changes each time they occur. The key to making students engaged in studying is to create a system that allows them to receive some kind of reward for their actions, such as "I studied every day without fail," "I passed the test," or "My grades went up. Three elements of gamification The three elements of gamification are "challenge, reward, and community. Challenges An assignment is a barrier to achieving something in the game (such as an ambition or a great goal). Rewards Rewards are items, points, badges, etc. for completing a given task. Community Community refers to competition and interaction with others. It is easy to understand if you imagine a ranking. Relationship between Gamification and e-Learning Gamification has been introduced in school education and corporate training in recent years, and is attracting attention as a good match with e-learning, especially in learning. The Association for Talent Development (ATD), the world's largest organization for talent development, reported the following findings in its "The 2018 Gamification At Work Survey" (2018 Gamification at Work) for Talent LMS The Association for Talent Development (ATD) reported the following Properly designed gamification-based education can help both the organization and the learner at many levels. 80% of employees enjoy using gamification software in the workplace. Employees feel that gamification increases their productivity (87%), positivity (84%), and happiness (82%) at work. 75% of respondents who play games believe that gamifying their work will increase their productivity. Older employees are more motivated by the game element than younger employees. learningBOX is an e-learning program with gamification elements learningBOX is an e-learning system that focuses on "ease of use" and "low cost," making it easy to start even for those with no technical knowledge of IT. It is possible to set up courses, manage groups of learners, and distribute learning materials to each group. Here are some of the gamification functions that can be set up with learningBOX Badge function The badge display function allows you to assign badges to each material (PDFs, quizzes, memorization cards, etc.) or each folder. This function allows you to check the status of your learners at a glance. Badges are awarded when a learner gets a passing score on ▼Quizzes Ranking Board Function The ranking board allows group members to compete for grades and learners to see their own grades relative to each other on the "Learn" screen. What is your current rank? Who is in first place? and so on, and the results of the members can be displayed in a ranking format. The scores and solution times of the members are displayed. Certificate function The certificate function allows you to send certificates to learners based on their learning status and progress. learningBOX allows you to set prerequisites, so that certificates can be sent to members who have completed the content or passed a specific question. Conclusion In this article, we introduced "gamification," which has been finding increasing use in the education industry in recent years. learningBOX makes it possible to create content that will keep learners engaged.
