How to set up From mail so that it is not classified as spam First of all, SPF stands for "Sender Policy Framework," and is a security technology to prevent emails from being misidentified as spoofed emails. SPF settings can prevent the "From mail address change" available in the Customize and Site Customizer from preventing emails from reaching the learner. In this article, we will show you how to deal with From mail being sorted as junk mail. Click here for Table of Contents 1. What is SPF setting? 2. the procedure for SPF setting 3. summary What is SPF setting? This is a setting to explicitly state that this e-mail address is allowed to be delivered from this mail server. If an e-mail is delivered without SPF setting, it is more likely to be judged as spam because the "IP address" of the mail server from which the "domain" is sent cannot be authenticated. Therefore, by setting SPF, it proves that the From mail address is not "illegally used by a third party" and is less likely to be classified as junk mail. Procedure for SPF setting The SPF setting is not done from the earningBOX administration screen, but from the administration screen (DNS server) of the domain management company with which each company has a contract. The domain management company refers to the company you used to acquire your domain. By checking the domain part of your e-mail address, you can find out which domain management company you have contracted with. Apply for DNS settings with the domain management company You need to apply for DNS settings with your domain management company. DNS is a system for managing and operating domain names. Please refer to the page of each domain management company for the application procedure. 2. configure SPF on the DNS settings screen Our learningBOX uses "Amazon SES" mail servers. Enter the following information on the management screen of the domain management company to configure SPF settings. *As for the host part, it will be blank or @ depending on the DNS service. If your domain already has an SPF record, add an Amazon SES include statement before ~all using the following format "v=spf1 existing settings include:amazonses.com ~all" To configure SPF settings at Name.com Configure the SPF settings from the Name.com control panel. For Name.com, please refer to the support information on Name.com for details, as the setting method will vary depending on the name server you are using. Name.com Mail Marketing User Guide｜Name.com official website To configure SPF settings on Xserver SPF Settings｜XServer official website Conclusion In this issue, we introduced SPF settings to prevent From mail from being classified as spam. IT terms such as "SPF" and "DNS" may sound difficult to understand, but it is possible to prevent discrepancies in perception between administrators and learners, such as "I thought I sent a From mail, but it was classified as spam and did not reach the learner. In addition, countermeasures against "spoofed e-mails" are essential to increase the delivery rate of e-mails to learners. Among them, SPF settings are important as a mechanism to clear suspicions of abuse of e-mail addresses. The Customize and Site Customizer functions are paid options that allow you to freely change e-mail addresses including the sender (From) for each subdomain. By clarifying the sender, learners can receive e-mails with peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in this service.

What is SCORM? It's almost the end of May. I'm Kidaoka, a marketing manager, and I'm scared of the heat in the Kansai region as we head into full-blown summer. In my hometown of Aomori, it's about 26-30 degrees in summer. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not 🍎. Now, enough chit-chat, let's get down to business! As I collect information related to e-learning, study, and related topics, I keep coming across this! SCORM" is a term that you may have come across a few times in your research. There is no doubt that SCORM is a concept and overview that is deeply related to e-learning, but the content is difficult to understand and it is difficult to visualize. Let's study and learn about SCORM together! Click here to see the table of contents. 1. Outline Background of SCORM 3. How SCORM Works 4. Benefits of Standardization 5. Summary 1. Overview SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model/SCORM) is a global standard for e-learning developed by the ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative), the US Department of Defense. The "e-learning standard" is a global standard developed by the ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative), the U.S. Department of Defense. It is a standardized standard that has been properly evaluated by international standards and "proof of quality and trust" has been standardized. By ensuring that the content of educational materials conforms to this standard, learning can take place on a variety of LMSs, regardless of the manufacturer that developed the content. Scheme can be thought of as "a standard for standardization in e-learning. In Japan, the e-Learning Consortium is playing a central role in promoting the standard. Let's think of SCORM as a game console When you buy a new game console, you may be puzzled by the differences in usability, controls, and button positions between the controller and the console you used before. After you have become accustomed to the new controller, you may have to relearn how to use it, and you may experience unnecessary stress before you can operate it the way you want to. But what if there is a standardized controller? If the controller is the same as the previous console, you will not be confused by the operations and will be able to work smoothly. SCORM is the standard here. 2. Background of SCORM SCORM was established to prevent the proliferation of standards, and to ensure that learning materials can be used commonly across different learning management systems. However, the complexity of SCORM itself makes it difficult for the average layperson to create learning materials that conform to SCORM. ) in Japan. 3. SCORM Structure Let's take a look at the structure of SCORM. Durability Interoperability Accessibility Reusability These are some of the keywords that make SCORM easy to understand. SCORM is a standard that allows e-Learning content to be studied on a wide range of operating systems and Web browsers without the need for major modifications when systems or software versions are upgraded, allows learning materials to be retrieved when necessary, and makes it possible to easily reuse existing content and create new content (reusability). It can be said that e-Learning is a standard to enable the creation of new content by easily reusing existing content. In general, e-Learning is a form of learning management system (LMS), and SCORM defines the common specifications for connecting the two. Benefits of Standardization What is standardization? What is standardization? Standardization is defined as "the unification of multiple elements into the same specification, structure, or format." It is defined as "the unification of multiple elements into the same specification, structure, or format. Product standardization is used in many different fields. Some of the common benefits are listed below. The same ease of use allows operation without having to learn something new. Stable product specifications reduce the number of errors, bugs, and other problems. Economies of scale with the same specifications will reduce costs and prices. Advantages of SCORM standardization When using a new product, including software, a period of familiarization is required. However, if the ease of use is standardized, there is less time and effort to learn new things. Currently, e-Learning is distributed in two parts, LMS and content, but if standardization of this consolidated part is promoted, any content can be used on any LMS. This applies to e-Learning as well, and will lead to better products being offered to users at lower prices. Conclusion SCORM is a global standard for e-Learning that has been properly evaluated by international standards and standardized to provide "proof of quality and reliability. SCORM is a global standard that allows learning materials to be retrieved whenever necessary on many operating systems and web browsers without the need for major modifications such as content system or software version upgrades, and allows existing content to be easily reused and new content to be created.

World History Memorization Method Using E-Learning: A Super Efficient Study Method to Win the Exam This is Kidaoka, Marketing Manager. This article is recommended for those who want to improve their score in world history. By changing the way you remember world history a little, you can improve the efficiency of your study. Let's aim to improve your score in world history by using the study methods introduced in this article! Table of Contents 1. Thorough analysis and explanation of how to memorize world history 2. Recommended learning tools that anyone can use for free 3. e-learning study using learningBOX 4. summary Thorough analysis and explanation of how to memorize world history World history is a subject that requires memorizing many words and keywords. For this reason, many students feel that world history is a subject they are not good at. However, it is also a subject in which you can achieve results in a short period of time by learning the correct way to study world history and putting it into practice. Here are three ways of thinking and learning to memorize world history efficiently. 1. Confirm the importance of "output" in your studies Output is essential to study and improve your ability. Of course, it is important to read books, attend lectures, and accumulate knowledge through input. However, if you focus only on input and do not output, your ability to think may deteriorate. As is common in memorizing subjects, it is very important to repeatedly move in and out of input and output. ⇒It has been proven that repetitive learning that is learned over and over again is transferred from short-term memory to long-term memory, making it easier to recall. (This is called the "rehearsal effect"). ▼ Memory retention is determined by output! Dr. Karpik's experiments on memory No.2 Doing a question-and-answer session Humans tend to basically "just read" in a sinking manner, and it is difficult to memorize. In world history, where the amount of knowledge to memorize is enormous, it is very important to consolidate each piece of knowledge. By reviewing the questions and answers in the "Question and Answer" section, you will be able to answer questions such as, "Who is this person? What does this word mean? and "What does this word mean? The ultimate goal in studying world history is to understand the flow of history and the cause-and-effect relationship of each event. The foundation is an accurate knowledge of historical terms and their meanings. 3. how to use time for memorization The key to memorizing world history is to repeat it over and over again. Therefore, time is inevitably required for learning. The point is to make effective use of your spare time. According to a Panasonic Corporation survey of 640 men and women in their 20s to 50s, the average gap time is 1 hour and 9 minutes per day. Even a small amount of spare time can add up to a huge amount of time. Even if it is only one hour every day, it amounts to 360 hours in one year, or 7200 hours in 20 years.

Here are three problems that education managers face when training foreign staff No.1 The current situation and challenges of language barriers No.2 Communication problems on the job No.3 Differences in cultural values Part 1: Language barriers and challenges Due to the language barrier, there is a challenge that verbal instructions and requests cannot be conveyed. Although an increasing number of companies are hiring foreign staff to solve labor shortages, some companies are facing various challenges, including language barriers. The inability to communicate smoothly can be very stressful for the Japanese staff working at the same site. When hiring non-Japanese staff, it is important to be prepared to accept them from their perspective. 2. Communication problems on the job Japan has a complex language structure with hiragana and katakana in addition to kanji. In Europe, China, and the U.S., many races and ethnic groups live together, and the languages and cultures of other regions are easily exchanged. Japan, however, is an island culture, and values are shared by the Japanese community. Therefore, it is difficult for foreign staff to understand ambiguous expressions unique to the Japanese language, such as "please finish as soon as possible" or "please try to accomplish as much as possible", because they tend to think that "this much can be understood without being said". 3. Differences in cultural values Trouble often arises due to differences in cultural values, such as the balance between work and private life, hierarchical relationships, and attitudes toward religion. For example, a foreign staff member may ask, "Why do you have to do this job? and the Japanese employee is miffed at the foreign staff member who asks, "Why do you have to do this job? In some cultures around the world, it is natural to clearly explain the reason or rationale for a job. If you expect people to "read the air" in the Japanese sense, it may be difficult to build a relationship of trust. Why e-Learning is effective in educating non-Japanese employees Compared to conventional group training, e-learning can be conducted without gathering people at a single location, thus reducing costs such as venue expenses. 3. Video materials can be used to visually instruct staff who do not understand Japanese about the handling of products and services and work flow.

This is Kidaoka, Marketing Manager. In this article, we will explain the relationship between video file size and image quality, and show you how to set a smaller video file size. When uploading video materials on learningBOX, the file size of the video file exceeds the capacity of the file, so you cannot register the video file you have taken and have to re-take it again! Please refer to this article to find out how to compress your video files. Click here to see the table of contents. 1 Relationship between video file size and image quality 2. how to calculate video files 3. how to compress video files using FFMPEG 4. summary Relationship between video file size and image quality A video file is made to look like a moving picture by showing a number of still images one after the other, based on the same principle as a flip book. Since many images are stored in a single video file, the file size naturally becomes larger. The size (capacity) of a video depends on three main factors: bit rate, resolution, and codec. Let's take a closer look at them one by one. Bit Rate The bit rate is the amount of data that can be sent and received in one second. The unit is bps (Bit Per Second), which indicates how many bits can be transmitted in one second (Per Second). 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. Calculation Method for Video Files The data capacity of a video file is calculated as follows ▶Here is the calculation formula Bit rate of video × Length (seconds) ÷ 8 (convert bits to bytes) Since the amount of data per second is the bit rate, multiply the time and convert it to bytes to find 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. Here is how to compress your video using FFMPEG FFMPEG is a command line tool to convert audio or video formats. In this article, we will show you how you can easily compress videos using this tool. (Works on Windows 7 or later) If you have any problems such as audio skipping or overlapping when uploading videos using the newer version, please use the older version here. New: Encoder_20200630.zip Old: Encoder_20180402.zip Download and unzip Encoder_20200630.zip ▼ Click here for instructions on how to compress videos. STEP①: Download Encoder. STEP②: Extract the downloaded zip file. Compress the video using the unzipped Encoder STEP ③: Open the extracted zip file and click on Encoder.exe. STEP④: Select the quality of the video if necessary. STEP⑤：Drag and drop the video you wish to compress. STEP⑥: Encoding of the video will begin. Please wait for a while until the encoding is finished. When encoding is complete, the video will be compressed and saved in a smaller size. *Please note that some images, audio, and video files may not be reduced in size even if the video is compressed. Conclusion In this article, we explained the relationship between video file size and image quality, and introduced how to set the size of video files smaller. Shooting and editing videos is a really time-consuming process. If you are worried about uploading your videos due to their large size, please refer to this article to learn how to compress your video files! LearningBOX has plans that can handle large videos. By using the standard plan, the file size limit per video is relaxed, as well as the total amount of content that can be uploaded. For more information on video capacity per plan, please see About Video Capacity. Thank you for your patience with this paper. We also recommend this article!

Let's use the permission settings of learningBOX! School Use Edition Hello! This is ⛄ Shinokura from the Quality Control Department. There has been a pandemic of the new coronavirus worldwide. 。。。。。 Let's be careful and spend our time by thoroughly following the basic "wash your hands, gargle, and ventilate". Now, in this article, I'd like to talk about the use of "learningBOX authorization settings," which I introduced to you a little last time! In this article, based on the previous contents, I would like to further elaborate on the authorization settings and try to set up the authorization settings assuming an example of use in a school. If you are interested in introducing our e-learning system (learningBOX) in your school, please refer to this article to learn the authorization settings and try using it. Click here for the table of contents 1. brief review of authorization settings 2. introduction of authority settings using a school as an example 3. let's add administrative privileges 4. let's try to log in with the member who set the permission 5. summary Brief Review of Authorization Settings Using the Authorization Settings in learningBOX, "management, setting, and editing tasks" such as "creating learning materials, managing grades, and assigning learning materials" that are usually performed by the administrator can be entrusted to a user (a person who has been assigned the authority) designated by the administrator. Authorized users can manage the learning environment in learningBOX in the same way as the administrator, such as creating content (learning materials), viewing and managing learners' grade information, and assigning content to each group. *If you would like to learn more about authority settings, please refer to the previous article on how to give appropriate roles to members using learningBOX's authority settings. Here is an example of authority settings using a school as an example In this authorization setting, the administrator (principal) will set authorizations such as "create teaching materials, manage grades, and assign teaching materials" to the leader (teacher) of each group. To make it easier to understand the authorization settings, we will divide the groups into "learning administrator = teacher" and "learner = student". To set up permissions, you will first need to create a group in Member Management. In this case, we will use this group that we have prepared in advance. Using the member management function of learningBOX, you can add and register members and groups by delving into one group in more detail. ▼ Group Configuration This time, the group is structured in this hierarchy. Teacher>>Student Management - Subject>>Japanese - Mathematics - English - Social Studies - Science ・・・・・ Student>>Year 1->Year 2->Year 3->Group 1->Group 2・・・・ *The flow of setting up permissions is to create member accounts for teachers in the "Teacher" group, student member accounts in the "Student" group, and member accounts for administrators in the "Administration in General" group. And in this example setup, we will show you how to 1. grant administrative privileges to the "Head teacher" from the principal who is the administrator. 2. set up a "student administrator" teacher to manage "students". 3. set up a "teacher administrator" teacher to manage "teachers". We would like to set up the above three. Let's put on the management authority. Let's log in to learningBOX with the account of the administrator (principal) and set up the administrative privileges. As the general supervisor of learningBOX, you will have all administrative privileges. It might be a good idea to put the principal's most trusted "vice principal" in charge of this post! Here is how to set it up. Please watch this video. Here is the procedure for setting up permissions. (1) Log in with the administrator's account. (2) Select the group/member for which you wish to set administrative privileges. In this case, "Administration General". (3) Click on the All icon for Administrative Authority, select "All members and all materials, and check all" and save it. Now, the "vice principal = administrator with full authority" can create groups and members (and can also be granted administrative privileges), create and assign teaching materials, view grades, manage announcements, edit the text of e-mails, and operate settings. Setting Permissions for Student Management Groups ▼ Please watch this video. The members of the "Teacher" >> "Student Management" group (student administrators) are authorized to manage "students". Click on the icon button of the person with administrative privileges, select "Students" instead of all members, and save. This will allow the student administrator to create, edit, and delete members in the hierarchy below "Students". The student member accounts do not need any specific permissions, so the grant permissions will not be granted. Authorization rights will also be set for teacher-managed groups. ▼ Please see this video. Give permission to the member (teacher administrator) who belongs to "Sensei" >> "Teacher Management" to manage "Sensei". Administrative Permissions >> People Icon >> Select "Teacher" without selecting all members and save. Next, click the hammer icon in the administrative authority, check the grant authority and save. This setting allows the teacher administrator to create, edit, and delete members in the hierarchy below "Teacher", as well as to grant administrative privileges to them. Let's log in with the member who has been granted privileges. Let's log in to learningBOX with the member who has been given the authority and check the member management screen. Administrator with full privileges Log in to learningBOX with the account of the head teacher. The screen is the same as that of the owner (principal). You can also set input fields. Student Administrator When you open the member management screen, don't be surprised if you see "You do not have administrative privileges for this group. Click on "Students" to view the members belonging to the "Students" group. You can add, edit, and delete groups and members by clicking the + button. (Below "Student") There are no items with icons for administrative privileges, because you have not been given the authority to grant privileges. Teacher Administrator As before, you can view the members belonging to "Teacher" by clicking "Teacher". You can add, edit, and delete groups and members from + button. (Under "Teacher") Because you have been given authorization authority, you can add authorization from the administration authority. Conclusion Many schools across the country have suddenly decided to close as a measure to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. Although it was unavoidable, teachers must have been troubled by the sudden situation. With an e-learning system, the teacher can take videos of the class from home and submit questions, and the students can view the videos and solve the problems at home. Our e-learning system, learningBOX, is available on a free trial basis. In this paper, we introduced how to give only the authority that is required, not uniformly the same authority, to groups and members assuming a school. In the next issue, I would like to talk about how to set the authority to teachers for each subject. Thank you for your patience until the end.
