How to Successfully Use E-Learning for Employee Training and Education? Newcomer Training (Part 2) In this issue, we will discuss how to successfully use e-learning for employee education and training. This is the second part of a series of articles on how to use e-learning to follow up with new hires before they join your company. This is the second part of the story. If you are in charge of training and are currently conducting a new employee training program, we hope you will take a look at this article and make use of e-learning for your new employee training program. Click here to see the table of contents 1. review of the previous article 2. what LMS features do you want to use? 3. real-life learningBOX case studies 4. summary Review of the previous article In the previous article, we first noted that before joining the company, the candidate has concerns about the future, such as whether or not he/she will be able to do the job well and integrate into the company, and that this concern can be resolved with "information" and "communication To resolve this anxiety, "information" and "communication" are necessary. And how do we provide this "information" and "communication"? E-learning" is the best way to do this. In this article, we will introduce how to provide "information" and "communication" for follow-up of informal job offers through e-learning. What LMS functions should be utilized? In this section, we will introduce the use of e-learning for job offer follow-up along with the actual learningBOX screen. Learning Management Functions This is the learning management function, the main function of the LMS. We have already introduced many of these functions on this site. We recommend that training materials that do not require group training or paper-based learning materials, which can be web-based, be distributed as e-learning materials to employees. This will allow managers to check learning progress and other information before the new employee joins the company, such as where they are stumbling. This allows the manager to check the learning progress before the new employee joins the company. Learn more about content management Notice Management Notice Management can be used like a bulletin board for posting information that you want to keep informed, so you can inform inform informants of communications and company information that you need to convey to them. It can also be used as a tool to inform people when new study materials are distributed. Since e-mail notifications can also be sent out, there is no need to create a separate e-mail for everyone. ➡ Learn more about Notification Management News Management Message Box Message boxes are ideal when you want to develop communication with a large number of people, like an online bulletin board or chat. For example, you may receive a question about a particular training or study and want to respond on the spot. You can share information with the people involved in real time and keep a history of it. It is recommended for cases where it is not necessary to gather in the same place to conduct the training, but it is necessary to communicate and talk about the training. ➡ Learn more about the message box Contact us by email This may seem like a basic function, but we recommend using it in combination with grade management. For example, if you would like to send an e-mail to all the members who have not yet taken a class, you can send an e-mail to all the members who have not yet taken the class. ➡ See more details about the function to send a targeted email from the grade management screen. Actual LearningBOX Case Studies Here are some examples of actual customers who have used our learningBOX to implement e-learning for new employee training and internal training. Nippon Kotsu Co. In order to become a cab driver, a new graduate must obtain a type 2 driver's license and pass a geography test. The company is using the learningBOX to provide the knowledge to the new graduates before they join the company, without the need for group training. Click here to continue Conclusion How was the LMS? We hope that you will use e-learning as a tool for information dissemination and knowledge acquisition to provide "information" and "communication" for follow-up of informal job offers.

Hello, this is Kadota from the Development Department. I thought it was the year 2020, but it turned out to be February in the blink of an eye. We are in the middle of winter! Let's eat something warm and keep up the good work against the cold! The theme of this blog is about "updates and upgrades". Best regards. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. what is an update in the first place? 2. what is a version update? 3. what is the difference between major and minor updates? 4. when will learningBOX be updated next? 5. summary What is an update in the first place? Have you ever been using a computer or smartphone when a comment such as "Update is ready" or "Please update" suddenly appears and you wonder "What is it? Have you ever wondered what it is? If you use a lot of apps on your smartphone, something might be updated every day. In general, an update is a minor improvement or bug fix for a service (app or software). For example, a bug is fixed, a new antivirus is added, or a new feature is added. What is a version update? A version up, on the other hand, is a major improvement or update, such as the addition of new features or a change in design or usage. Let's consider Windows 7 as an example For example, Windows 7 support has recently ended. For the past year or so, I have often heard people say that they would like to migrate to Windows 10 because the support for Windows 7 is about to expire. If you have migrated from Windows 7 to Windows 10, it is an upgrade. Windows 7 and Windows 10 are very different even if they are the same Windows. For example, "the Start menu has changed," "startup is faster," "security has been enhanced," and "Microsoft Edge" has been installed. It is like a completely new and different product. I think it would be good to think of this kind of major improvement/update as an "upgrade. Incidentally, the term "version up" is not understood by English-speaking people, as it seems to be a Japanese word. If you want to express the same meaning in English, it is "version upgrade" (or just "upgrade"). （Some people may be more familiar with "upgrade" than "version up" (or just "upgrade"). The difference between major and minor updates Updates are sometimes referred to as "major updates" or "minor updates," while version upgrades are sometimes referred to as "major version upgrades" or "minor version upgrades. Which term is used depends on the company releasing the service and the detailed nuances. Basically, it is safe to say that if it is labeled major, it is a major change, and if it is labeled minor, it is a minor change. Here are the POINT Major → major change Minor → small change When is the next update for learningBOX? We call updates that involve the addition of new features "major updates" and updates that mainly fix bugs "minor updates. As of this writing, the latest version is "2.8.18. The version of minor updates is managed by the number "18" on the right side of "2. 8. 18". We release a new version approximately once a week. So the next "2.8.19" will be released in the near future. What about "major updates"? Major updates are released at a pace of 3 to 4 months. The next "2.9" series will be released soon. Announcement We would like to introduce some of the features that will be included in the "2.9" series. By linking learningBOX and LDAP servers, it will be possible to link account information and perform login authentication. LDAP authentication requires a subscription to a dedicated server plan. →Please click here for details on pricing plans and LDAP authentication integration. Summary Do you understand the meaning of the terms "update" and "version up" that you have been using somehow? When learningBOX is updated or upgraded in the future, please check what has changed. It may be difficult to notice if it is an update. In that case, please check the release notes. And although learningBOX is currently in version 2, version 3 will be released one day. If you have any requests for features like this, please feel free to contact us.

About China's EdTech Market This winter has been mild. How is everyone doing? As a quick reminder, we have looked into the EdTech market in China. Click here for the table of contents 1. China's EdTech market is hot. 2. list of unicorn companies in China's EdTech sector 3. why is the EdTech market growing so fast in China? 4. the future of the EdTech market China's EdTech market is hot. What is EdTech? China's EdTech market is currently very active. EdTech is a coined term that combines the words "education" and "technology," and refers to efforts to bring about innovation by incorporating technology into the field of education. The term X-Tech (cross tech) refers to the incorporation of technology into existing industries to create new value, and EdTech is an example of X-Tech. X-Tech includes FinTech (finance), MedTech (healthcare), AdTech (advertising), HRTech (human resources), AgriTech (agriculture), LegalTech (law), and many other fields. Many of the unicorn companies originated in China! To give you an idea of how much momentum there is in the Chinese EdTech market, 8 of the 14 unicorn companies in the global EdTech sector are from China (about 57%). The others are 5 companies from the U.S. and 1 from India. *See: Holon IQ January 6, 2020 Unicorn companies are defined as venture companies with a company valuation of $1 billion (about 125 billion yen) or more, less than 10 years old, and privately held. In other words, 8 of the 14 companies are Chinese companies, a number that can be considered one indicator of growth areas. List of Unicorn Companies in China's EdTech Sector The following is a list of unicorn companies in the EdTech sector in China (as of January 2020). VIPKid Online English conversation classroom service with teachers in North America 猿辅导 Yuanfudao Online tutoring and math and English services for children 小盒科技 Knowbox Online education using AI teachers iTutorGroup Online English conversation classroom service with teachers in North America Zhangmen One-on-one tutoring Huike Industry-University Cooperation Ichiqisaku 17zuoye Online Education Platform for K-12 *K-12 means kindergarten through 12th grade (3rd grade of high school) k=kindergarten HuJiang HuJiang Language-centric online classes, SNS, community Why is the EdTech market growing so fast in China? If you look at the number of unicorn companies worldwide, not just in the EdTech sector, according to CBinsights (as of January 6, 2020), there are 433, of which 214 are in the US, 101 in China, 22 in the UK, and 19 in India. Japan has 3 companies. The number of Chinese unicorn companies in all sectors is about 23% of the global total, while the percentage in the EdTech sector is about 57%, indicating that the EdTech sector in China is growing much faster than in other sectors. Why is the EdTech market growing so fast in China? The reasons include the following. Cultural background in which education is highly valued Education is highly competitive, and education is considered very important to stay ahead of the competition. On average, families with preschoolers spend 26% of their household income on education and 20% of their income on K-12 children. *Reference pdf document: The Value of Education-Higher and higher - HSBC Group Huge Market Approximately 20% of the world's population lives in China, and according to the Chinese government (January 17, 2020), the population will exceed 1.4 billion by the end of 2019. In addition, the one-child policy, which has been in place for about 35 years, has been relaxed since 2016, increasing the factors for client expansion. (Currently, the number of births is at an all-time low and has been declining for three consecutive years, and the birthrate is declining and aging. The population is growing.) Also, there is an increase in the middle class who are able to finance their education. Widespread recognition of EdTech There seems to be a strong common perception in Japan, including among VC [venture capitalists], that EdTech has a large market. Strong Government Support Almost every year since 2011, the Chinese government has increased its share of GDP spending on education. It has also provided much support, including building a 22-story MOOC Times building dedicated to EdTech in Beijing's Zhongguancun; in 2017, Premier Li Keqiang set out a technology-infused Chinese education reform for 2030. Soil to foster developers There is also the influence of creative education, which increases the number of makers, and the presence of young people known as "sea turtles," who have acquired cutting-edge knowledge and skills abroad and returned to China to play an active role in the country. These are just a few of the many factors that may be contributing to this trend. Future EdTech Market What do you think? We have talked about the Chinese EdTech market, and we hope that you have been able to see that the market is expanding rapidly. And it seems that the Chinese EdTech market will continue to develop rapidly in the future. I think that a system that has both a cultural background and national policy support is the driving force behind the creation of new educational services. Not only in China, but also in other countries that are focusing on the e-learning and EdTech fields, there will be more and more countries in the future. We will do our best to help Japan become a leading EdTech country. Thank you for your continued support of learningBOX! Reference sites: *Reference: Why Is China The World's Leading EdTech Country?

Rewrite your own program into SCORM material and use it in learningBOX! Hello, this is Morishita of the Development Department. I am Morishita of the Development Department. In this paper, I would like to show you how to implement a program for "Hundred Maths Calculation" as SCORM teaching materials on learningBOX. I was able to implement the program even though I have only just learned JavaScript, so if you read this paper, you will be able to reproduce it immediately if you have written simple programs before. Let's publish your one-of-a-kind program on learningBOX! The SCORM-compliant description has been introduced in the previous article "Let's make SCORM teaching materials", but this time I would like to implement something a little more teaching material-like (?). This time, we would like to implement something a little more like an educational material. Click here to see the table of contents. How to upload your own program 2. how to check the operation of SCORM teaching materials 3. making SCORM materials 4. summary How to upload your own program We have prepared a simple "Hundred Cells Calculator" program for implementing SCORM teaching materials. Download this program "[download id="30640" template="HundredCellsCalc.zip"]" and check its actual operation on learningBOX. This program is based on the code here, with grading and timer functions added. Vue is used to generate the tables. Here are the files to be prepared for creating and implementing SCORM materials. Here are the files to be prepared index.html index.js style.css Please prepare these three files. When uploading, save the necessary files as a single zip file. The html file must be named "index.html". If you use a different name, an error screen will appear and you will not be able to study. You can upload the file [HundredCellsCalc.zip] as it is. Confirm the operation of the SCORM teaching materials After learning the Hundred Cells Calculator, click the "Submit" button to send the results. The learning status of the teaching materials will change to "Pass" or "Fail". I can see that the grades show the score and time left in addition to the learning status. The administrator will also be able to check the user's course history on the grade management page and download grade data in CSV format. For more information about grade management, please check the grade management page here. In this case, the data to be sent to the LMS at the end of the course are "score," "time," and "learning status (pass/fail). If you are interested, please refer to the Japanese version of the SCORM specification from the Japan E-Learning Consortium. Creating SCORM materials Let's take a look at the features of the actual SCORM code. The following three processes were added to the program to make the SCORM version of the 100-meter grid. ☑Add function init to search and initialize the API. (index.js) ☑Add an onload event to execute the function init when the page is loaded. (index.html) ☑Add function sendResult to send data to LMS after study is finished. (index.js) ☑Add function sendResult to send data to LMS after the study is finished. This time, we have three types of data to be sent to the LMS at the end of the study: score, time, and study status (pass or fail). Each, 'cmi.core.score.raw' 'cmi.core.session_time' 'cmi.core.lesson_status' but there are a few caveats when sending data. When setting a value in 'cmi.core.score.raw', it must be a string type (numbers cannot be sent) The initial value of 'cmi.core.session_time' should be '00:00:00 Only six strings can be set in 'cmi.core.lesson_status': 'passed', 'completed', 'failed', 'incomplete', 'browsed', and 'not attempted'. In this program, the data is saved in the LMS when the final sendResult() is executed. ▼ Below is the process we have added to make it compatible with SCORM materials. (i) (index.js) function init to search and initialize API Here, 'browsed' is set as the initial value of the learning status, but it will be set to 'passed' or 'failed' after learning is completed. (ii) (index.html) onload event to execute init() when the page is loaded (iii) (index.js) function sendResult to send data to LMS after study is finished Score (numerical value) is vue.score, learning status is vue.lesson_status, and time is timer.textContent. vue.score is set to a string before being set. LMSCommit finalizes the retention of the value (LMSFinish, which terminates communication with the LMS, includes the same behavior). Conclusion Although the SCORM specification may seem complicated and difficult to understand, learningBOX is a SCORM 1.2-compliant LMS, and by writing code to send learning data to the LMS, users can use it as a learning material. If you are already using learningBOX for in-house training or at school sites, or if you want your users to use your own programming materials, please give it a try. It will also be useful when you want your users to see what you have created in your programming studies. Although learningBOX has several content features, there are still many teaching materials that are difficult to realize with existing content. (Regarding learning contents) For example, it would be very attractive if there were learning materials with puzzle games, board games, or RPG elements, such as ones in which the question text itself changes randomly each time a question is presented, or ones in which the user directly manipulates the screen. If you can create such learning materials by yourself or find the source code, you can register them as SCORM learning materials in learningBOX. We call them "teaching materials" for convenience, but of course, even if they are "games", they are essentially the same. If you know simple JavaScript code, you only need to rewrite it a little to be compatible with SCORM, and you can use it with learningBOX (free of charge, of course). Thank you for reading this paper as well.

Advantages of in-house production of e-learning materials Hello! I'm Motoki from Marketing. I would like to write about e-learning materials (content) when introducing and utilizing e-learning for in-house and corporate training! 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 at this article. Click here to see the table of contents. 1. when introducing e-learning to your company's training program, what you need are the teaching materials. 2. whether to prepare the materials in-house or outsource them? 3. if you prepare the materials in-house, it is important to have an LMS that is easy to use! 4. examples are provided below. 5. of course, there are also advantages to outsourcing. 6. please take advantage of our free trial first. When implementing e-learning for in-house training, all you need are the teaching materials. When creating an e-learning program, the first thing you need is teaching materials. Textbooks and training documents are used for e-Learning, such as PDF materials, web pages, and videos, and quiz creation is used for exercises and tests. You may be wondering whether to create these materials in-house or outsource them to a third party. Do you want to create the educational materials in-house or outsource them? Do you create your own e-learning materials? Or do you outsource? While there are advantages and disadvantages to both, we would like to focus on the advantages of creating eLearning materials in-house. What are the advantages of creating e-learning materials in-house? First of all, with outsourcing, it takes a lot of time and money to revise the materials once they are created. ~ First of all, considering the disadvantages of outsourcing, it is 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. Number two, if we create it in-house, we can easily create and modify it ourselves. ～On the other hand, when we create our own teaching materials, we can easily create and revise them ourselves, allowing us to control the maintenance of the materials after they are created. The advantages of creating e-learning materials in-house can be summarized as follows...the more we can create our own materials, the quicker we can create a variety of content! I think this means that we can create a variety of content faster. If we're going to create our own educational materials, the ease of use of the LMS is critical! If you are creating e-learning materials in-house, the most important thing is to have an LMS that allows you to create materials easily. In terms of an LMS system that is easy to use, learningBOX is clearly the best choice. (Of course, there are many other points to recommend learningBOX, but we will omit them in this article.) One of learningBOX's concepts 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 has an intuitive UI design that can be operated without manuals, so that administrators creating e-learning materials do not feel stressed when using the system. learningBOX is a "box" for creating e-learning materials. It is an e-learning system that is easy to use, even if you are not familiar with the system, when creating your own e-learning materials. Here are some examples. We will introduce some e-learning case studies in which our clients have actually used learningBOX by creating their own teaching materials. Motivation Switch Group Inc. Case Study Interview] December 5, 2019 - Motivation Switch Group｜Case Studies｜learningBOX e-learning system This is a case study of an e-learning system implemented using learningBOX, focusing on the advantages of creating educational materials exactly in-house. "We had a strong image that e-learning, once created, is time-consuming and costly to revise. So, in addition to price, we also focused on the keywords "easy to create by ourselves" as research keywords." "In the end, we would think of the content of the exercises ourselves, so wouldn't it be a double hassle to tell them what the exercises would be and have another company create the content for us? I thought. We started with the idea that if we were able to create the content ourselves, we would be able to create a variety of content faster as a result." "By implementing e-learning, the traditional manuals started to function better." As you can see, you are taking advantage of the benefits of creating your own teaching materials, and you are taking full advantage of the learningBOX to increase the educational effects of e-learning implementation. In our case (Tatsuno Information System) Training with Reporting Function to Customer Success We, of course, use learningBOX for our training, but most of our materials are created in-house. We use the report function to provide training on customer service. Especially training on customer service is related to our company's services, so we have no choice but to create our own training materials in order to train those services. Of course, there are advantages to outsourcing the creation of these materials. We have discussed the advantages of creating e-learning materials in-house. But let me turn what we have said so far upside down. Advantages of Outsourcing e-Learning Materials It may have sounded as if there are no advantages to outsourcing, but there are, of course, advantages to outsourcing your eLearning materials. For example Advantages of outsourcing e-learning materials: 1. 2. Materials on general topics (e.g., personal information protection) can be created faster than materials created in-house. No.3If you do not have the know-how, knowledge, or resources in-house (e.g., legal topics outside your company's area of expertise) In other words, even if you create the materials in-house, you are still incurring your own internal costs, so if you compare those costs with the costs of outsourcing and decide that outsourcing is worth using even if the cost is a little higher, that may be one of the reasons for your decision. If you decide that outsourcing is worth the higher cost, that may be one option for you. In this issue, we have explained in detail the advantages of producing e-learning materials in-house. Why don't you try using learningBOX to create and register your e-learning materials and create your e-learning program? You can use learningBOX for up to 10 accounts for free for an unlimited period of time. Try our easy-to-use, instruction-free service for yourself!

Happy New Year! I am Yokoyama🐈, a developer. I look forward to working with you in the New Year! This time, I would like to introduce an article titled "Using TensorFlow.js to add a problem to judge handwriting in learningBOX. Originally, SCORM requires imsmanifest.xml, a file that defines the structure of the teaching material, but learningBOX can be registered without imsmanifest.xml. Click here for the table of contents 1. try to add a question to judge handwritten characters 2. what is SCORM? What is TensorFlow.js? 4. summary Let's try adding a problem to determine handwriting. Seeing is believing, so first watch this video! The numbers displayed on the screen are input by handwritten letters. The question is to determine if the entered letters are correct or incorrect. This problem is running as a SCORM teaching material on the actual learningBOX! This is made using SCORM and TensorFlow.js. We will explain in turn. What is SCORM? SCORM is a standard in e-learning. SCORM is an e-learning standard that defines specifications for combining learning materials with an LMS (Learning Management System). In Japan, the Japan e-Learning Consortium certifies LMSs and content, as well as SCORM-related qualifications. Since learningBOX is a SCORM-compliant LMS, grades and other information can be saved as long as the materials are SCORM-compliant. Since this question was also created in accordance with SCORM, the grades are saved in learningBOX. If you want to know more about SCORM, check out this article! ▼For more information, click here. What is TensorFlow.js? TensorFlow is an open source machine learning library developed by Google Inc. The JavaScript version of this library is TensorFlow.js. This time, we used TensorFlow.js for a simple task of judging handwritten numbers. Please understand that I am a beginner in machine learning, so I may not be very good at some things 🙇. If you are interested in trying out these questions, please download the zip file. Please download the ZIP file, register it in learningBOX, and upload it as a SCORM teaching material! *This problem has been tested with Google Chrome. Reference: Load MNIST-trained model with TensorFlow.js for handwriting recognition in a browser Conclusion In this article, we have introduced a simple but effective way to create and add SCORM teaching materials. Originally, SCORM requires a file called imsmanifext.xml that defines the structure of the material, but learningBOX can be used without imsmanifest.xml. LearningBOX is a SCORM-compliant LMS, so grades and other information can be saved as long as the material is SCORM-compliant. Since this question was created in accordance with SCORM, the grades are saved in the learningBOX. This time, the content was simple, judging a handwritten number, but with application, a wide variety of SCORM teaching materials can be created.

When I step on a link from Word or Excel, for some reason I am taken to the login screen. We have also had this problem with learningBOX in the past, but it was resolved in version 2.8.9. We are now disclosing the cause and countermeasure for this problem in case other systems are also suffering from the same problem. Click here to see the table of contents. 1. symptoms 2. causes 2. countermeasures 3. why was it discovered in the first place? 4. are all the web apps out there coping with it? Symptoms While logged in to a certain system, when I open a URL in the system from Word or Excel, I am redirected to the login screen. Since the user is already logged in, we would like to have the URL in the system opened directly. Cause In Word or Excel, when you click on a link, Word or Excel sends a request to that link address; Word or Excel receives a response that redirects you to the login page because you are not logged in to the linked site. This redirect URL is passed to the web browser, which causes a transition to the login page. Countermeasures When a request for the post-login page is received from Word or Excel, do not perform redirect processing. By doing so, the specified URL is passed to the web browser as is, and the post-login page can be opened. In the figure above, it is enough to change the processing at point (2). If you are using PHP, you can use the following code to handle this issue. exit may have side effects, so please terminate the process in accordance with your framework's style. If you return an empty document with a status code of 200, it is almost OK. How was it discovered in the first place? One of our customers distributes URLs for educational materials via Excel, and for some reason, when he steps on the link, he is taken to the login screen. Since there is no special exception handling only when opening from Excel, we investigated the cause of the problem by referring to the web server logs, etc., and found that the problem was caused by strange behavior of Office. Are all the web apps in the world coping with this? As of January 14, 2020, Gmail and Slack have been addressed, but there are many services that everyone knows about that have not been addressed. This is not so much a problem on the web application side as it is a problem with the behavior of Office, but it can be easily handled using the method described above, so please consider taking action.

A new year is upon us, and it has been two years since the last time we were in the office in 2025. Hello! I'm Sakamoto, a member of the introduction support team.

On the Product Registration screen, enter the product code, title, and description of the product. The product description should clearly state what knowledge and skills will be acquired and who the product is intended for, in order to motivate users to purchase the product. The thumbnail image is also an important part of the product, so we recommend setting an image that will catch the user's eye. Then, select the pre-created materials, set the preview, price, sales period, etc., and you are done. For more information on how to register your products, please refer to this page. Sales Management Functions - Payment Functions The earningBOX EC function supports the following 6 payment methods. You can select the payment method to be used from the payment processing settings screen, change the wording to be displayed before and after the purchase, and set the payee. The "Receipt Settings" screen allows users to select whether or not to use the receipt issuing function and to edit the information to be included on the receipt. Once set, users can issue receipts from their purchase history. EC Function Fee Plans LearningBOX pricing plans are usually calculated based on a license fee plus various optional fees. The license fee is charged on a pay-as-you-go basis based on the number of accounts. There are two types of licenses, the Starter Plan and the Standard Plan. The difference between the Starter Plan and the Standard Plan is the difference in server capacity and upload capacity per material. However, if you wish to use the EC function, there is a special license plan for EC called the "EC Special License." Unlike the standard license, it is a pay-as-you-go plan based on the amount of payment for course sales. With the EC Special License, the number of accounts and total data capacity are unlimited, so there is no need to worry even if the number of users or teaching materials increases. (The limit per teaching material is 500 MB.) EC Special License requires a contract for a dedicated server. ➡For more information about EC Special License, please visit the EC Special License page here. Conclusion In this article, we have introduced the details of EC functions and plans. There are many more features that we have not been able to fully introduce. If you have any questions about usage or functions, please feel free to contact us! Thank you for reading to the end.

Regarding the size of video files when creating e-learning materials I am Nagai🎮 of Quality Control, suffering from a cold that is not completely gone. This time, I would like to share with you a question that we have received many inquiries from our customers: "When uploading e-learning materials, how long is a video file and how much space does it take? This article is an explanation and a small piece of information in response to this question. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Click here for Table of Contents 1. what is a video file 2. how to calculate a video file 3. how to upload a video file to learningBOX 4. summary What is a video file? A video file uses the same principle as a flip book to show a series of still images one after the other to make the picture appear to be moving. A single video file contains a number of image files, and the file size naturally becomes large. The size (capacity) of a video file depends mainly on the numerical values of factors such as bit rate, resolution, codec, etc. Let's take a look at each of these factors in detail. Let's take a look at them one by one in detail. Relationship between file size and image quality Bit rate This is a unit of rate at which data is transferred. In simple terms, it is a unit that expresses "how much data can be transferred. The higher the bit rate number, the higher the image quality and the larger the video file size. Resolution Resolution is a numerical value that expresses the density of pixels in a video. In digital video, it is expressed as "a collection of very small colored dots (pixels). The unit of "dpi" or "ppi" is used. The higher the resolution, the higher the density of dots, and the smaller the resolution, the smaller the video capacity. Codec A codec is a device or software that performs the encoding (compression) and decoding (playback) of data. Handling large-sized videos uncompressed requires large memory, hard disks, etc., or compressing the video capacity to reduce its size. POINT Generally, to improve video quality, it is necessary to increase the resolution (fineness) of the video, and to increase the resolution of the video, it is necessary to increase the file size of the video. In particular, the size of the bit rate, which represents the file size per second of video, will greatly affect the quality of the image. However, if the bit rate is too large, the performance of the communication line and terminal will be greatly burdened when the video is transmitted over the Internet, causing the video to not play smoothly. Video File Calculation Method You can calculate how much the file size of a video file will be. The data capacity is calculated as follows. ▷Here is the calculation formula Video bit rate x length (seconds) ÷ 8 (convert bits to bytes) Since the amount of data per second is the bit rate, multiplying the time and converting it to bytes will give you the video file size. Exercise For a 10-minute video at 2.5 Mbps, what is the file size? →2.5Mbps × 600 (seconds) ÷ 8 = 187.5MB (megabytes) ▼Here is a quick table on video capacity. Please use it as a guide when uploading your video. The actual capacity may go up or down slightly when audio is added, but this will give you a rough idea of the capacity of your video. How to upload a video file to learningBOX When uploading a video file, the size of the file may vary depending on the settings used at the time of shooting and the performance of the equipment used at the time of shooting.
