Effective for training transition! What is the use of e-learning for human resources training! Hello, this is Yoda of Tatsuno Information Systems Tokyo Team. This is Yoda from the Tokyo team of Tatsuno Information Systems. The spread of the new coronavirus is still unpredictable, but I hope everyone is doing well. In this article, based on Diamond's "Introduction to Training and Development: Theory and Practice of Training Transition," I would like to introduce the characteristics of training transition and the efforts required to achieve it. The theme of this article is "How can we take what we learn in training and put it into practice in the field, and link it to results?" We will discuss the future of in-house training programs under the difficult theme of "How can we put what we learn in training into practice and link it to results in the field? We look forward to your continued support in this issue. Table of Contents What exactly is training transfer? 2. what are the necessary steps to achieve training transfer? 3. using e-learning to enhance the effectiveness of training transfer Conclusion What exactly is training transfer? Transfer of Training is the process by which the knowledge and skills learned in a training program are actually put into practice in the workplace, and the effects are sustained. However, this is difficult to achieve in reality, and there is an abundance of so-called "leave-it-done" training programs. Since its plain introduction in the book "Theory and Practice of Transfer of Training" (co-authored by Jun Nakahara, Kimitoshi Shimamura, Eichika Suzuki, and Masayasu Sekine, published by Diamond Inc. in 2018), training transfer has attracted a great deal of attention as a concept for applying learning to action. Some people say loudly that what is learned in training is not useful in the field. It is true that many people who think, "I want to make use of what I have learned in the training in the field! However, the percentage drops to 12% six months later and to a surprising 9% one year later. Three Barriers to Training Transition To begin with, there are three major barriers to training. The following is a brief description of the three barriers. The Memory Barrier The memory barrier is the barrier of not being able to remember anything that was learned in the training. If you simply attended the training without preparation or review, you are likely to be held back by the memory barrier. Have you ever heard of the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve? This is a graph that shows how human memory changes over time. We are forgetful creatures; we forget less than 70% of our memories in a day. What if you are a "learner"? How well do you remember what you learned in past training sessions? People are incredibly forgetful creatures. No. 2. the barrier of practice The barrier to practice is the question of whether or not learners will actually try what they have learned in the training. There are two types of barriers to practice: the motivation problem, which is whether learners will willingly try what they have learned in training, and the "opportunity problem," which is whether they will actually be given the opportunity to try it out. To enhance the former, it is important for the instructor to encourage the participants to increase their self-efficacy at the end of the training. For the latter "opportunity problem," it is necessary to inform and involve the participants' supervisors. One of the factors that most influence training transition can be the attitude and support of the participants' supervisors and colleagues. Let's do it! (self-efficacy). 3. Barriers to Continuation The barrier to continuity is "how to put into practice what you have learned in the training and whether or not you can continue to do so. In order to continue practicing, it is necessary to maintain motivation and to create opportunities and work environments that allow for continuity. I, and you, are "fragile beings. Even once you start, you need to have a strong will to keep practicing. Efforts required to achieve training transition In the first place, training is not an objective to learn, but a means to change behavior. If "behavior" cannot be changed as a result, there is no point in training. Therefore, companies must develop meaningful training programs to develop their employees. So, what should companies do to enhance training transfer (putting into practice what was learned in the training)? Involve supervisors. The key to training transfer is how to involve company leaders and colleagues, who have a great influence on workplace practices, and how to gain their understanding and support. The most important key to a successful training transition is to involve the supervisors in the workplace. Specifically, you need to compel the supervisor to be deeply involved in the training, to participate in some of the training, and to run the training side-by-side with the supervisor and subordinates. It is also important for the supervisor to review the training with the participants periodically, such as three months, six months, or one year, to check on behavioral changes and reflect on the training together. What and how to learn? is important, but "Who is involved and engaged?" is also more important. Who is involved in your training? Does your training program have the understanding of the top management of your workplace? Follow-up and evaluation before, during, and after each phase of training In order to clearly recognize and realize the training transition, it is necessary to devise a series of measures in each of the phases of "before, during, and after training. Before training Before the training course, the reason and purpose of the training course should be explained to the trainees. This pre-training explanation not only has a significant effect on the motivation of the participants, but also facilitates follow-up and evaluation after the training. During the training The training should be interactive and participatory. Set the correct goals that will lead to action after the training. After the training To be utilized in the field, with regular reinforcement of support and feedback by supervisors and peers. Consider training and measuring effectiveness "the four-step Kirkpatrick model." Many companies conduct a questionnaire immediately after training and use the results as the training evaluation. However, the effectiveness of training decreases over time. Therefore, a one-time evaluation immediately after the training is not sufficient to determine the level of understanding of the trainees. So, at what timing should training evaluations be conducted? Kirkpatrick's "4-step evaluation model" is a useful reference for considering the timing and method of training evaluation. This model divides the process of training results into four categories: reaction, learning, action, and outcome. In training transition, changing the behavioral level of these four stages onsite is a major point in facilitating training transition. E-learning is used to increase the effectiveness of training transition! E-learning is a form of learning that uses computers, tablets, and smartphones to learn over the Internet. Learning content, such as videos stored on a server (learning management system), is delivered to students who take courses using computers, tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices with Internet access. learningBOX has a full range of functions necessary to realize training transitions! Iterative and Reversal Learning as a Way to Overcome Memory Barriers Repetitive learning is a learning method in which the content of a training course is reviewed many times to consolidate the knowledge in the memory. Reversal learning, on the other hand, is a learning method in which participants prepare for a lecture before attending a training course to improve their understanding of the course content and increase the effectiveness of exercises and role-playing. The learningBOX allows you to proceed with training and learning at your own pace, regardless of where, when, or what you are learning. The quiz function allows you to focus on the knowledge and skills you need to do your job, and you can study them over and over again. ➡learningBOX features Message Box function for overcoming practical barriers learningBOX allows easy communication within the system. You can easily exchange messages with members registered in your account, and use it to check the level of understanding of online learning. multiple people can write to one conversation, so you can communicate with members without spending time and effort. ➡learningBOX message box Gamification is the key to overcoming barriers to continuity By incorporating gamification, learningBOX can create a system that motivates learners and makes it fun to work on until the end.

Training in the future will depend on the type of industry and type of work as a countermeasure against new coronavirus sensitivity, but teleworking and other work styles are expanding. In training, we need to avoid "three-second" training sessions, and traditional group training has become difficult. Online training will become the mainstream. Until now, online training has mainly consisted of watching videos. However, input alone is not enough to create the "training transition" described above. LearningBOX does not require computer knowledge! Even if you are not familiar with the system, you can easily create an in-house training tool with rich content. You can look back and provide feedback to improve the training process. Please try the free plan first to see how easy it is to use!

I am Nishimura, the creator of QuizGenerator, and the creator of QuizGenerator. Actually, I did not participate in the initial development of learningBOX, but started full-fledged participation around the release of version 2.0. I have just received a pull request regarding the handling of character encoding, and I thought I should talk a little more about character encoding, so I put it together in an article. In this article, I will introduce "How to unify the character encoding of text files with utf-8 in PHP". We hope you enjoy this article as well. Table of Contents 1. shift-JIS is unavoidable 2. how to avoid garbled characters 3. how to determine character encoding 4. summary Shift-JIS is unavoidable. Systems like learningBOX and QuizGenerator sometimes receive text files such as CSV. In modern Web systems, the character encoding of text files should be utf-8, and we do not want to accept any other character encoding, but in reality, Shift_JIS files are often uploaded on rare occasions and reported as a problem. Therefore, when QuizGenerator receives a Shift_JIS file, it converts it to utf-8 and continues processing. What is Shift-JIS? Shift-JIS is one of the character codes that contain various characters including Japanese, standardized as JIS standard. It is used as the standard character code for Japanese in many personal computers. it is an improvement of the JIS code defined in the JIS standard. while the JIS code uses 7 bits to represent a character, the Shift-JIS code uses 2 bytes (16 bits) to represent all characters. mb_convert_encoding is not reliable. PHP has a function called mb_convert_encoding to perform character encoding conversion. At first glance, this function seems to be able to determine the character encoding and convert to utf-8, but in fact, this function is not reliable. mb_convert_encoding("aaa", "utf-8", "utf-8, sjis-win") will convert "aaa" to utf-8 if it is utf-8 and to Shift_JIS If it is Shift_JIS, it should convert it to utf-8 (at least that's what I've read in the official documentation), but in fact, it does something ridiculous. It forcefully interprets a string passed in as utf-8 as Shift_JIS, breaks it, and converts it to utf-8, returning a value that is incomprehensible. How to avoid character corruption ▼ "mb_convert_encoding works properly if you specify the character encoding of the conversion source. mb_convert_encoding works properly as long as you specify the character encoding of the conversion source. In other words, the strategy of converting from Shift_JIS to utf-8 only if it is Shift_JIS, and doing nothing if it is utf-8, basically works. mb_convert_encoding("aaaa", "utf-8", "sjis-win") The above code works fine if "aaaa" is Shift_JIS. If it is originally utf-8, it is OK as is. How do we determine the character encoding? There is a function called mb_detect_encoding, but to begin with, if this works correctly, it can be solved simply by using mb_convert_encoding. If the standard functions don't work, you're on your own. It is not that difficult to determine whether or not the utf-8 specification is met, so just do it. What if it is not utf-8? If it's not utf-8, we'll treat it as Shift_JIS at ・・・・. We can't support people who submit euc-jp or utf-16 files, at least not if they know about encoding. At least, people who do that should know about encoding, so please self-serve. In the first place, they are specified to use utf-8. Another trap I have used the term Shift_JIS many times in this article, but what is currently referred to as Shift_JIS is often Windows-31J (MS932), which is an extension of Shift_JIS. However, if you specify Shift_JIS in PHP, characters other than those specified in the original Shift_JIS specification will be corrupted. Unless you have a special reason, use Windows-31J or sjis-win instead of Shift_JIS. The official documentation says to use Windows-31J, but only sjis-win is listed, which is a strange state of affairs, but at least with PHP 7.3.13, either specification worked fine. Will a unified future ever come? About 20 years ago. When I first started web programming, UTF-8 was not the standard and garbled characters were a common occurrence. In the Web world, it seems safe to say that the unification to utf-8 has been completed. Smartphones were created based on the assumption of utf-8, since they were born in a world after utf-8 became widely used. （On the other hand, files exchanged on Windows are often in Shift_JIS. Conclusion In this article, we introduced "How to unify the character encoding of text files with utf-8 in PHP. As a company from Japan, we would like to keep the usability for Japanese people in mind, so we will continue to develop without forgetting about Shift_JIS for a while longer. (We really want to forget about IE11...)

IT beginners! Introducing training for newcomers using e-learning! It has been a month since I joined Tatsuno Information System. Hello, I am Takahashi, a sales representative who joined the company in August 2020 🔰. As a newcomer from a different industry, there are many things I don't understand about IT and computer knowledge, and I am struggling with difficult IT terminology every day. In this article, I would like to introduce our e-learning system (learningBOX) newcomer training, which was a smooth learning experience even for an IT novice like me. During the training, I felt "learningBOX is amazing! I would like to share with you my frank impressions of the system, such as the points that I felt during the training and the ease of use. For those who are interested in e-learning training for newcomers or in-house training, or for those who are hesitant to introduce e-learning because they are not good at using PCs, we would like to share our frank impressions. We hope this article will help you learn more about the functions and ease of use of learningBOX. We look forward to your continued patronage of this report. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. impressions of newcomer training using learningBOX 2. learningBOX's quiz function to enhance learning effectiveness 3. the ability to correct and instruct report assignments 4. summary About the impressions of the newcomer training using learningBOX ▼Here is a captured image of an actual newcomer training. To sum up my impression of learningBOX in one word... "It's just so easy and user-friendly!" That is the only word that comes to mind. Learners select the content they want to take and proceed with the training. There are no difficult operations or settings to be made on the learner side, so even those who are not confident in their computer skills can smoothly proceed with the training. As I proceeded with the training for newcomers, here are some of the points that made me think, "learningBOX is amazing! I felt that learningBOX is great! The design design makes it easy to understand the contents at a glance! I was surprised at the ease of viewing the learning materials. learningBOX is designed to allow learners to see the training content at a glance, including the names of course titles and content within the content. The content can be set up with images for each material, so I was able to get a general idea of the training content from the image diagrams. In addition, learningBOX changes learner status information, such as "not studied, completed, and passed," according to the learner's learning status and performance information, so it is possible to check at a glance which training courses have been completed and to what extent. 2. Easy to use! The learner clicks on the "Learn" button to proceed with the training. As you can see from the capture here, learners click on the folder containing the training materials to take the contents inside. Since learningBOX allows learners to proceed with the training with only simple mouse operations, even those with low IT literacy can proceed at their own pace and without worrying about others around them. There are no difficult processes at all, as it is as easy as snapping and clicking the contents. No.3. You get a certificate when you complete the assignments! In learningBOX, a certificate is awarded at the end of the training after passing the contents in the folder. It is a great pleasure for the learners to receive recognition for their hard work in the form of a certificate, and it motivates them to continue the training to the end. The certificate includes the name of the successful candidate and the date of issue. The text can be customized freely, allowing the administrator to create a certificate full of originality. For more information about certificates, please refer to this article. ➡ How to use the certificate creation form LearningBOX's quiz function to enhance learning effectiveness One of the content features of learningBOX is the quiz function. The quiz function allows users to create practice questions and tests by combining 13 different question types, including multiple-choice and 0x questions. Media such as images, audio, and video can also be incorporated into the question text, choices, and explanations. The quiz function allows users to choose between two modes: Normal Mode and Master Mode. The web quiz/web test created in "Master Mode" can be studied repeatedly until the learner learns the questions well, as wrong questions are prioritized once they are answered. ➡About Master Mode Features of Master Mode Start strategy button ・・・ Unanswered/Study-in-progress/mistaken questions will be shown. This button cannot be used when the percentage of strategy reaches 100%. Weak point conquer button ・・・ Problems that are being studied/wrong questions are given priority. Total review button ・・・ 100% of the strategy rate → Available / All questions will be presented at random / There is no upper limit to the percentage. Report assignment can be corrected and guided. When a learner submits a report assignment, the administrator can not only grade the assignment, but also provide feedback (explanations, hints in case of mistakes, etc.) on the answers. Here is a sample of a report assignment used in a real training program for new employees. This is an assignment to respond to an email regarding a section question in QuizGenerator. ▼ Feedback on Reporting Assignments In fact, when I was studying on my own, I had trouble understanding why I failed and what I did wrong. However, the advice provided by the corrective guidance not only helped me get the correct answers, but also deepened my understanding of what I had studied that I could not have realized on my own. ⇒About the report function Conclusion In this article, I have introduced some of the points that I felt during the training through our e-learning system (learningBOX), and I would like to share with you some of the points that I thought "learningBOX is great! LearningBOX is an e-learning system that allows you to easily create your own training programs. LearningBOX is an e-learning system that makes it easy to create the training you need.

Duplication of items during user registration When registering a user, if there is a duplicate of an item used in another owner-manager's environment, the message "This 00 is already in use. is displayed. Duplicate items include "Login ID," "Display Name," and "E-mail Address. The following is an explanation of duplicate conditions and how to deal with duplicates. Table of Contents 1. reasons for duplicate user registration 2. duplicate conditions and solutions Reasons for duplicate user registration If you are using a shared server, duplicate entries may occur. The reason for this is the structure of the shared server. Shared Server Structure A shared server is a type of rental server where one server is shared by multiple owner-managers. It is like renting a room in a condominium, but with multiple users sharing a single server, similar to a "shared house" service. Therefore, there is a possibility of duplicate entries when registering users. Duplicate conditions and how to deal with them Login ID Login IDs must be unique. Login IDs used in other owner-manager environments cannot be registered. The following letters and symbols can be used, so please create a mixture of numbers and special characters to prevent duplication. Character and symbols that can be used One-byte alphanumeric characters (a-z 0-9), special characters (! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? [ \ \frz24}^ _ `) Supplemental information: If you subscribe to the "Customize" paid option, you can use duplicate login IDs from other owner-manager environments when registering users. *Only users can be duplicated. Owner-administrator login IDs cannot be duplicated. If you wish to use this feature, please follow the procedure below. (1) Select "Site Customizer" from the side menu. (2) Click on "Basic Settings. (3) Open the "Login Form Settings" tab, turn off the "Login from other than the user's main URL" toggle, and save the settings.

Let's use the permission settings of learningBOX! Part 2: School Use Hello! This is ⛄ Shinokura from the Quality Control Department. The rainy season has started, and the days are getting dreary and rainy. During the rainy season, it is easy to get sick due to the difference in weather and temperature, so please be careful. Now, in this article, continuing from the previous article, I would like to introduce how to use the authorization settings, assuming an example of use in a school. In the previous article, we introduced how to use Authorization Settings to give groups and members only the necessary privileges, rather than uniformly giving them the same privileges. In this article, we would like to explain how to make detailed settings for learning management, grade management, and assignment of teaching materials for each teacher's subject and class. If you find it difficult to use the authority settings, please take a look at this article. Click here for an article about authority settings. What are authority settings in learningBOX? Let's use the permission settings of learningBOX! School Use Click here for the table of contents Let's take a Japanese teacher as an example to set up privileges. 2. set up the classes you are in charge of using Group Management Authority (3) Specify the contents using the "Content Management Authority". (4) Use the Grade Management Authority to allow only the homeroom teacher to view and grade the grades. 5. summary Let's take a Japanese teacher as an example to set up the privileges. In this example, we will set up the following permissions for the homeroom teacher of the 1st grade. As the homeroom teacher of Class 1, she can check the grades of the students in her homeroom class. As a Japanese teacher, he/she can manage the teaching materials and contents for each grade (1-3) and check the grades of the students in his/her class. ▼Basic Information Mr. Tatsuo Tatsuno Subject : Japanese Class in charge of : 1st year class 1 ◆Procedure 1 Log in as "Plenipotentiary administrator (vice principal)" or "Owner account (principal)" of Administration General. ◆Work procedure ②. Click the Contents Management screen and create a folder from [Plus button]. Prepare folders for each hierarchy and set them up so that when you open a student's folder, you can open it in the order of >> Grade >> Subject. ◆Working Procedure (3) Return to "Documents" in Contents Management and set up the assignment of teaching materials. Assign the student's folder to the group "Students". Set up the classes to be assigned using the group admin rights Once you have assigned teaching materials, set up your groups. ◆Procedure 4 From the Member Management screen, set the group management privileges and set the class that Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei will be in charge of. Set the class you are in charge of and click the Save button at the end, and the icon will change to red. Specify the content using the teaching material management authority ◆Procedure 5. From the Member Management screen, click the "Teaching material management authority" privilege. Use this authority to set the Japanese language of the grade for which Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei is in charge. Save the file as "Student>>1Year>>Japanese, Student>>2Year>>Japanese, Student>>3Year>>Japanese". Set up the system so that only the teacher in charge can view and grade the grades using grade management privileges. Step 6. From the Member Management screen, click "Grade Control Authority". Specify the group name and the folder for teaching materials as shown below, and finally click the Save button. ◆Procedure 7. Set up the assignment of teaching materials. Specify the classes you are in charge of and the folders related to them, and click the Save button. This completes the setup of administrative privileges for Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei. Please follow this procedure to give the same privileges to each teacher's account and save them. Once the authorization settings are complete, each teacher can create contents in the subject (folder) for which he/she is in charge. Only the teacher in charge of the subject can view and grade the student's answers. Let's check what you can do by logging in with Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei! ◆Member Management Members under Student>1Year>1Group are displayed, and you can create, edit, delete, etc. members under Student>1Year>1Group. ◆Contents Management It is possible to create, edit, delete, and assign materials under Student>1 year>Japanese language. Similarly, it is possible to create, edit, delete, and assign materials under Student > 2 years > and Student > 3 years > Japanese. ◆Member grade management Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei is able to view, grade, output CSV, and send grade control notification emails below. Grades of "Student>1Year" for members belonging to the group "Student>1Year>1" (-> because he is the homeroom teacher of the class 1Year1) Grades of "Students > 1 year > Japanese" for members belonging to the group "Students > 1 year" (→ because they are in charge of Japanese) Grades of the members of the group "Students > 2 years" in "Students > 2 years > Japanese" (→ because they are in charge of Japanese) The results of "Student > 3 years > Japanese" of the members of the group "Student > 3 years > Japanese" (→ for being in charge of Japanese) Conclusion In this paper, we have discussed how to set the authority of teachers for each subject, assuming a school setting. Using these methods, it is possible to flexibly combine them, such as sometimes being in charge of all grades and sometimes only one class, without uniformly giving the same authority. Many schools may be introducing or considering e-learning systems as online teaching advances in the wake of the coronavirus. learningBOX is a learning management system that even first-time users can intuitively touch and learn its functions without difficulty in operation and settings. Each teacher working in a school has many roles. I think they manage various roles and organizations, such as being in charge of a grade, a class, or a subject they teach. Please try to set up the authorization taking into consideration the authorization that each individual teacher should have, without giving unnecessary authorization.

How to Use IP Restrictions to Enhance Online Learning Security This is Kidaoka, Marketing Manager. This paper introduces basic knowledge about IP addresses - how to set IP restrictions. eLearning-based online learning, online classes, and in-house education are very convenient as cloud services that can be used from anywhere. However, the ability to access from anywhere also increases the risk of unauthorized access and the risk of personal information leakage. One solution to this problem is IP restrictions, which prevent users from logging into their accounts unless they use a specified IP address. Our learningBOX is an e-learning system that can be configured with IP restrictions to ensure security. Click here for Table of Contents 1. what is an IP address? 2. connection restriction by IP address 3. setting IP restrictions on learningBOX 4. summary What is an IP address? An IP address is simply a "number" assigned to a computer or communication device connected to the Internet. When using the Internet to browse websites or send and receive e-mail, it is necessary to identify the other party with whom you are communicating. The IP address plays a role in this process. Every terminal connected to the network has an IP address, which is assigned to identify devices on the network such as computers, smartphones, and tablets, and serves as an address on the Internet. Basic Knowledge of IP Addresses Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia IP addresses are represented using decimal numbers. The IP address is represented by a decimal number, and is called a "domain" when it is replaced by letters to make it easier for humans to understand. The Internet has a vast number of users coming and going. Who is viewing or accessing a website and where? The global IP address indicates the unique IP address of the user. This global IP address is unique and cannot be duplicated anywhere in the world. This is the same mechanism that prevents duplicate phone numbers and addresses! What is a decimal number? A decimal number is a way of writing numbers (notation) in which the base number is 10. It expresses numbers using all numbers from "0" to "9". ➡ 【0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 】 Connection Restriction by IP Address LearningBOX can be restricted so that only certain IP addresses can view it.

Hello, my name is Kuroda from the Quality Control Department. Do you know all the types of content you can create with our e-learning system? LearningBOX has contents, functions, and learning environment that even beginners can easily start online classes. In this article, we would like to tell you about "how to choose learningBOX content," a topic we have received many inquiries about recently. It is not easy to get used to writing, but I will do my best, and I hope you will enjoy this article as well. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. types of learningBOX materials 2. how to choose learning materials 3. examples of use 4. summary Types of learning materials available on learningBOX There are currently a total of 15 types of functions available for our e-learning system! However, the abundance of learning materials is one of the strengths of learningBOX and the secret of its popularity! By utilizing these 15 types of materials, we are able to support all kinds of companies, schools, and cram schools, such as "online learning, newcomers, in-house training, and remote training"! How to Select Learning Materials With such a large number of learning materials, it is hard to think of learning materials from scratch. Is it possible to create the teaching materials you have imagined? Many people wonder how to combine the contents they have created. For such customers, we would like to briefly introduce the contents function of learningBOX. If you are not sure how to create teaching materials, please take a look at these contents. Quiz / Test The quiz function allows you to create and grade paper-based exam questions on the web, such as school tests, mock tests, and quizzes. The quiz function allows users to create questions in more than 12 different formats, including multiple choice, multiple choice, essay, and fill-in-the-blanks. The quiz function allows you to create questions in two modes: master mode, which is suitable for preparation and review, and normal mode, which is suitable for exam questions. We highly recommend this quiz function if you want to encourage learners to consolidate their understanding and memory. There is also a setting that does not tell (hide) the results to the learner. ➡Here is how to use the test mode setting function. Memorization card I am sure that many of our customers have seen or used memorization cards at least once in their lives. I also often used them to prepare for exams during my high school years and up until I was a working adult. These memorization cards are the same as actual word cards, and you cannot look back at them randomly. But instead, you can visualize what percentage you have memorized by checking "☑ memorized". Why not use it as an aid for studying for a test or for content you want learners to remember for sure? Unlike conventional memorization cards, these memorization cards can be prepped and reviewed as many times as you want with just one smartphone. Video/YouTube Video Besides uploading videos created by customers, learningBOX also makes it easy to set up YouTube videos. Simply copy the embed code and paste it into place. By using videos and YouTube videos as teaching aids, "you can keep track of who watched it, when, and for how long, right on your results screen." The advantage of videos is that they can be watched over and over again, making them very useful for university lectures, experiments, and other content that cannot be memorized in a single session. *Please be careful to use the copyright of the videos. WEB page This function allows you to easily create an explanatory page. You can also add pages, so you can use it like a textbook. Not only simple text like a notepad, but also font size and text color can be changed. Worm-eaten notebook MUSHIBUKI Notebook allows you to easily create memorization questions in the form of sentences. It is used to memorize words that often appear on exams by hiding the words you want to remember with a marker. I also have fond memories of memorizing world history textbooks in high school by drawing green markers and covering them with red sheets. As with the memorization cards, the key point here is that you can visualize what percentage you have memorized as the number of hidden parts increases. Please use it for memorization materials before exams, etc. Questionnaire Collect multiple responses to a question. The administrator can download a CSV of the total responses from the question-specific tab of the Results Management screen. Reports Both text entry and file submission are supported, and administrators can grade the reports with comments. Learners can easily see the grading details on the grade details screen or in the "Submitted Reports List" in the side menu. PDF file PDF files can be viewed and distributed to learners. Printing and downloading of PDFs can be prohibited. Attachment Used when you want to give data or files to users. You can use the data by itself or compress multiple data into a zip file for attachment teaching materials. Using this function, you can have learners download a variety of files as educational materials. SCORM teaching materials You can upload your own content or materials that have been used on other companies' LMSs. Two of our engineers have created SCORM materials in the past and introduced them to you. Click here to read the article about SCORM teaching materials. How to create and add SCORM materials using TensorFlow.js How to rewrite your own programs into SCORM materials and use them in learningBOX Typing materials Teaching materials for typing practice.

This authoring tool is recommended for those who are considering in-house production of video presentations. iframe teaching materials If you specify "embed tags" to be used in HTML notation, you can register them as educational materials. If the embedded content is a quiz from our QuizGenerator, the score is not saved, but the history of the opened material can be checked on the grade management screen. In addition to our quizzes, you can also embed word cards and Google Maps. Certificates From stylish to cute designs, we can create certificates that give learners a special feeling. You can set the issue date and expiration date, and print, save as a PDF, or save as an image. You can easily check the certificates you have already obtained on the certificate list screen. Here are some examples of use The teaching material I came up with this time is a vocabulary book to memorize prefectural capitals using memorization cards! The letters are centered and larger, and ruby settings have been added. Even adults can learn enough. Using Mnemonic Cards as a Self-Study Auxiliary Tool Combine the contents and use it as a course study.

What is EdTech? Hello! I am Motoki from Marketing. As a quick reminder, I would like to write this blog as a glossary of e-learning terms, "What is EdTech?" So, I will write a blog on this topic. Click here for the table of contents. What is EdTech? 2. the beginning of EdTech 3. what is learningBOX? 4. summary What is EdTech? EdTech" is written and read as "EdTech." (When I first saw it, I read it as "edtech.") This term was coined by combining the words "Education" and "Technology. It refers to new education and learning using digital technology and the apps and services that provide it. In Japan, it began to be searched for around 2012 and has been attracting more and more attention in recent years. (Reference: Google Trends) There are many other such "00Tech" terms. For example, "FinTech" is a word often seen on TV and in magazines. For example, household account bookkeeping apps are well-known. Another commonly heard term is "HR Tech," which is a combination of the words "Human Resources" and "Technology. These industry names followed by "tech" are collectively referred to as "X-Tech (X-Tech or Cross-Tech). And when you get down to the meaning of the word "EdTech," you will find that (to put it in a very cool way) EdTech" means "to revolutionize the way educational services are provided through technology. Now, what comes to mind when you think of "EdTech"? What comes to mind, for example, is "e-learning. What is e-learning? E-learning is a form of learning that uses the Internet. Learning that allows students to improve their skills at their own pace regardless of location, time, or learning content by using electronic devices such as PCs, mobile terminals, and other IT networks.

The U.S. is a large country, and many companies are expanding globally, not only domestically, so there are limits to the amount of employee training and human resource development that can be conducted through group training. As a result, along with the spread of the Internet, e-learning and EdTech services evolved as a means of corporate human resource development. The services also became increasingly popular as a means of closing the education gap. ▼ Evolving EdTech services in the U.S. [e-Learning around the world]. Evolving EdTech Services in the U.S. [eLearning Around the World]. Educational innovations that began with EdTech have also spawned trends such as "STEM education. ▼ What is STEM education? In addition, EdTech services are now being created not only in the U.S. but also around the world in terms of educational disparities. Many EdTech IT ventures have emerged, especially in developing countries where there is a large educational gap and where the use of smartphones is rapidly increasing. ICT in Education in Japan Unfortunately, Japan lags behind other developed countries in ICT in education. Although the introduction of programming education in elementary schools has been attracting attention, ICT equipment, which is also the tool for such education, has not been well developed.
