This is Fukumoto🍞, our marketing manager. In this article, I would like to introduce "Certificate" which is included in the content feature of our learningBOX. We believe that there are so many educators who are having a hard time in school due to the coronavirus, and are having trouble in making progress and interrupting lessons at school. In addition to the quiz creation function, video content, memorization cards, bug-eaten notes, and typing materials necessary to advance online learning, the learningBOX content function also allows users to set up a digital version of an award called a "certificate of recognition. This function allows you to issue certificates to members who have met certain passing standards and completed their studies. This certificate can also be printed.

Greetings, I am Kozuki 🐰, a new member of the Marketing Department who joined the company this year. As we start a new fiscal year, I believe that many companies first conduct new employee training when new employees join the company. I, too, took the new employee training! At learningBOX, of course! So this time, I would like to introduce new employee training using our e-learning system, learningBOX, and my "impressions after using it. For those of you who are thinking about "improving the efficiency of new employee training and online learning"! We hope you will consider implementing learningBOX with reference to this article. Click here for the table of contents 1. click here for Tatsuno Information System's new employee training program 2. training flow Impressions of the training 4. summary Click here for Tatsuno Information System's new employee training program. Upon joining our company, all new employees undergo "Basic New Employee Training" and "Customer Support (CS) Training" using the learningBOX. After these two training courses, they are divided into their respective departments and areas of expertise. A brief description of the content of the training... STEP: 1. New employee basic training New employees learn basic information about the company, such as business activities, employment regulations, company rules, tools used in business, and information security. STEP: 2. Customer support (CS) training After learning how to reply to e-mails and how to write sentences, trainees submit a report on how they would reply to e-mails from customers who have actually inquired about learningBOX and QuizGenerator in the past. The purpose of CS training is "to deepen understanding of the functions and services of learningBOX and QuizGenerator," and all employees, not just those in charge of CS, take part in the training. Please take a look at our internal case studies for more information on CS training. https://learningbox.online/casestudy/casestudy20200204/ Training Flow Upon receiving training at learningBOX, you will receive a brief verbal overview of the training and an explanation of how the training will be conducted. After having a senior employee register as a learningBOX member, you will receive an "ID" and "password," and log in to learningBOX to begin the training. The training on learningBOX is conducted by first learning through PDF/Google Slides/videos published on learningBOX, and then answering tests to pass the tests. A passing score is set for the test, and if you fail the test, you will have to take the test again to pass. For quiz-style tests, learningBOX will automatically grade the test, but for questions that require a report, a senior employee will grade the test on learningBOX after the report is submitted. Impressions of newcomer training at learningBOX Now, let me share with you my impressions of the new employee training on learningBOX, the subject of this issue. Impression #1: No confusion in operation When I took the training course at learningBOX, I had no trouble at all in operating the screen. Even if you don't check how to operate the system, you will be able to use it without any problems. One of the points that prevents us from getting lost is the "visualization of the training to be taken". Point 1 ⇒Materials are displayed in the order of progression. LearningBOX has a "course setting" function that allows you to advance to the next question after you pass a specific question. You cannot proceed to the next question until you have passed and understood the question, so you can proceed with the training in the order in which you should proceed. Point 2 Learning status is displayed on the status display. The current learning status is displayed by status, and can be checked from the list, so you can see at a glance which trainings have been completed and which have not. For tests whose results you do not want to show immediately, you can change the status to "Conducted". Point 3 Easy-to-answer question screen As learningBOX offers multiple question formats, tests are presented in a format suitable for the difficulty level and answer method desired by the presenter. The question answer screen is simple and intuitive. The function to display explanations makes it easy to review even if you make a mistake on a question. LearningBOX can also display only the training courses that each department should receive, since it is possible to set up the distribution of training materials for each group by dividing members into groups and setting up the assignment of training materials. Impression #2: Deepen understanding at your own pace Basically, you can proceed from learning to testing all by yourself, allowing you to learn at your own pace. In addition, learningBOX is equipped with "functions to deepen learners' understanding. Point 4. Focused study of wrong questions Questions created in Master Mode are suitable for repeated study and review. By answering questions from the "Overcome Weaknesses" button, learners can focus on the questions they got wrong. Furthermore, if a question or section has been created using the "tagging function," the number of correct answers, number of incorrect answers, and percentage of correct answers for each tag will be displayed on the "chart function" page, allowing learners to check their weak areas. →Click here for more information about the tagging function. Tagging Function About the tagging function By tagging each section or question, you can use the tags to analyze your performance (e.g., to check your weak areas) ▶ For more information, click here. (e.g. to check areas of weakness) ▶ For details, click here. →Click here for more information about the chart function. About the chart function The personal chart function allows you to check how much each user is learning each day and how far he or she has progressed. ▶ Click here for details. Point 5 Favorite function to save training materials The ability to save training materials as favorites makes it convenient for reviewing training materials on the job after the training is over. Favorite materials will be displayed in the "Favorite Materials" section of the "Study" menu. Conclusion learningBOX is an easy-to-use e-learning system for learners. It is easy to use, and learners can check their own understanding of the training content as they go along. It can also be used on smartphones and tablets, so learners can study at home as part of their pre-employment training. If you are considering implementing learningBOX, we encourage you to register for learningBOX and use almost all of its features for free for an unlimited period of time for up to 10 accounts.

In addition, many features have been added, including improvements to existing functions. We will now introduce the details of the 2.9 series upgrade. LDAP / ActiveDirectory Integration With the learningBOX 2.9 version upgrade, we have added support for integration with LDAP servers. LDAP v3 compatible directory services (OpenLDAP, Active Directory, etc.) can be used as a user authentication method. LDAP authentication can be used not only for user authentication, but also for user management in conjunction with directory services. LDAP authentication requires a dedicated server contract. SAML Authentication Settings SAML authentication settings have been added since Ver. 2.8. To make it easier to use, the corresponding Identity Provider (IdP) and authentication setting screen have been added. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an XML-based international standard authentication method for authenticating users across different Internet domains, and is a protocol for achieving single sign-on (SSO). Single sign-on (SSO) is a mechanism that allows users to log in to multiple services simultaneously with a single ID and password. SAML authentication requires design customization or a dedicated server contract. SAML Authentication Settings for Trust Login Trust Login" is a single sign-on service for enterprises with basic functions such as "single sign-on" that enables login to multiple services with a single ID and password, "ID management" and "log and report functions.

With the badge function, learners are given badges based on their learning achievements, which can be expected to increase their motivation. Learners can also check their course status at a glance. The badge display function can be set for each material or folder. Please note that badge acquisition conditions differ for each material. Interruption Resume Function The "Suspend and Resume" function, which is useful when conducting tests and examinations, has been further improved. We understand that in many cases you may use the one-time-only limit when conducting a test, but with this improved feature, you can interrupt and resume the quiz even if you leave the system screen during the test. This is an option that allows users to suspend and resume the quiz when taking the quiz/test. You can interrupt your answers in the middle of the quiz, and resume from the middle of the quiz. A new mode "Resume from Interruption" has been added for this time. When "Enable" is specified, you can choose to "Resume from the beginning" or "Start over from the beginning" when resuming. If you specify "Enable only from the continuation", you can only select "Resume from the continuation". Notification function for specified course materials The "Notify me when a learner has completed certain material" function has been added to meet the request of "automatically notifying the administrator when a learner has completed certain material". This function allows you to set up email notifications to be sent to the administrator when there is a change in a learner's grade status. By using this function, you can set up an e-mail notification to be sent to the administrator only for the specified course materials. You can set this function to send email notifications to the administrator only for the specified course materials.

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.

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.
