learningBOX

The e-learning system "learningBOX" will have an "AI Assist" function linked to ChatGPT (scheduled for release on September 20, 2023). We hope you will take this opportunity to try this function as it allows you to utilize AI easily and safely. For this issue, we asked learningBOX members to cooperate with us and experience "AI assist" firsthand. In this article, we will introduce an interview about "automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz and test generation). Click here for the interview about "report analysis. What is learningBOX's "AI assist"? Let me reintroduce the AI assist function. Report analysis...AI analyzes submitted reports based on model answers. AI will automatically generate feedback comments and assist in the report grading process. Automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz/test generation, memorization card generation)...Quizzes and memorization cards can be automatically generated with a single click from videos and PDF materials uploaded to learningBOX, website URLs, etc. This enables time saving in creating questions and grading reports, which tends to be time consuming, and assists in the smooth operation of online in-house training and school education. Back to Table of Contents I tried using automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz and test generation)! Interview The people we interviewed this time are members of the Information Security team. Project Manager, Specification Design Section, Product Planning Department and Information Security Team, Administration Department Torii Before the interview, I would like to introduce a little about the information security system of learningBOX. We have established an "Information Security Committee" for learningBOX's security system, and are continuously working on various security enhancements to ensure that our customers can use our services with peace of mind. Click here for detailed security measures This time, we asked the participants to use the automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz and test generation), assuming the situation of creating a comprehension test for the security handbook in the information security training for all employees. Information security training is...one of learningBOX's new employee training and regular training programs, which includes about 50 contents such as documents, regulations, and procedures. The security handbook used in this training is updated once a year. Periodic training is also conducted every year in conjunction with the update. What challenges have internal training staff faced so far in creating educational materials? Please tell us about the challenges you have faced in the past in managing information security training. Torii: The Information Security Committee conducts training and comprehension tests once a year when the security handbook is updated. However, there was an opinion from within the company that the frequency of information security training should be increased a little more. However, I was currently working on security-related tasks in addition to my regular duties, so I was unable to find the time to increase the frequency of training sessions. It takes a lot of time to create teaching materials and tests, and I thought that if I could reduce that time, I would be able to solve the problem. The psychological burden of creating test questions is reduced because AI creates the base! How did you feel when you actually used the automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz and test generation)? What were the good points? Torii: I felt that it would reduce my workload because I did not have to think of test content from scratch by myself. However, there are still issues with the accuracy of the test questions created by the AI, so it will be necessary to make corrections by hand. Still, considering the increase in training frequency, it is difficult to create a number of tests by oneself, so having AI create the initial base will help reduce the psychological burden. It would also be nice to be presented with not only the test questions, but also the correct and incorrect answer choices. It is surprisingly difficult to think of wrong answers, isn't it? Torii: Yes, it is. It is helpful because it was a point that took quite a bit of time, such as trying to make subtle mistakes! ▼ Quiz and test generation is also so speedy! Is there anything else that could be improved by utilizing AI assist? Torii: Currently, we outsource the production of training materials and test questions related to the security handbook, but we have recently increased the number of members, and if we can use this automatic generation of teaching materials, I think it will be possible to bring the production in-house. If we are able to produce the materials in-house, we will be able to reduce costs. Automatic generation of teaching materials could also be used to disseminate internal rules! You have used the system for information security training, but what other situations could you use the automatic generation of teaching materials? Torii: Regardless of information security, I think we can easily create tests when we want to inform people about company rules. For example, network-related issues or compliance. Because of my position, I am often consulted or asked questions by employees, and I thought that preparing tests for each internal rule would deepen the understanding of individuals and reduce the number of inquiries. What were your concerns and points for improvement? Were there any points that you were concerned about or would like to see improved after actually using the system? Torii: Currently, the automatic generation of teaching materials only allows users to select a single-choice question format, so it would be easier to use if there were more variations, such as sorting questions or fill-in-the-blank questions. It would also be great if we could choose the difficulty level of the quizzes/tests we create. For example, if I wanted to increase the frequency of information security training, I thought it would be easier for trainees to learn if I conducted basic tests at first and increased the difficulty level as the number of training sessions increased. Although it would be difficult to observe the difficulty level using AI, I think it would be possible to adjust the difficulty level if there are more variations in the question format. More to the point, it would be ideal to be able to create quizzes/tests that match the proficiency level of the students. I think this would be an even more practical function. As a point of concern, this time I tried to create a test with AI using PDF materials, and the accuracy of test generation differed depending on whether the original PDF data was Word or PowerPoint. In this case, I felt that Word is more compatible with AI. Specifically, what do you mean? Torii: For the security handbook, the original data was PowerPoint, which was converted to PDF, and the test was created by AI. Actually, we also tried it on another document called the Information Security Procedures Manual. The original data of the Information Security Procedures Manual is in Word. When we converted it to PDF and then created the test with AI, the latter information security procedure document was more accurate in test generation. Perhaps, we felt that the AI could read the Word document more easily because it contained more information as a readable document, and the accuracy was higher. On the other hand, PowerPoint, by its nature, has many headings and illustrations, and the text is often expressed in a straightforward manner, so the accuracy of test generation may be lower. I see. That may be a new point of view. Finally, do you actually want to use this function in your work in the future? Torii: Yes, I do. I would definitely like to use it. It is difficult to think of and create test questions from scratch by myself, so I would like to wisely use the power of AI. Thanks to the automatic generation of teaching materials, I can now think positively about increasing the frequency of training. It's good to be able to achieve what I wanted to do but couldn't before. Back to Table of Contents Summary In this issue, you have seen an interview with Torii about the automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz and test generation). He said that AI plays the role of assisting and that it is essential for people to direct and correct the process. it would be wonderful if, by making good use of AI, issues that had not been solved due to manpower problems can be solved one by one. Although there are still some issues to be addressed regarding the accuracy of the AI, we are confident that it will be useful as an assistant in online employee training, education, and human resource development, as it was for Torii this time. We are now offering a free "Easy quiz generation by AI" service on the QuizGenerator page, where you can generate quizzes automatically by simply entering a short topic or a URL containing the content you want to create a quiz. Until the release of the AI-assisted function in September, please enjoy the AI experience here as well. We also recommend this service! Back to the table of contents

Recently, AI has been rapidly developing and many AI tools have been created, but are you using AI in your business? Many companies may still be concerned about the hurdles to using AI in their business operations from the viewpoint of security, such as information leakage. In this situation, learningBOX, Inc. will release a new function "AI Assist" for the e-learning system "learningBOX" that is linked to ChatGPT (scheduled for September 20, 2023). This is a feature that we hope you will take this opportunity to try, as it allows you to utilize AI easily and safely. For this issue, we asked learningBOX members to cooperate with us and experience AI assist firsthand. In this article, we will introduce an interview about "Report Analysis. Click here to read the interview about "automatic generation of teaching materials. What is learningBOX's "AI Assist"? First, let me briefly introduce the new "AI Assist" function. Report analysis...AI analyzes submitted reports based on model answers. AI will automatically generate feedback comments and assist in the report grading process. Automatic generation of teaching materials (quiz/test generation, memorization card generation)...Quizzes and memorization cards can be automatically generated with a single click from videos and PDF materials uploaded to learningBOX, website URLs, etc. This will reduce the time required to create questions and grade reports, which tends to be time-consuming, and will assist in the smooth operation of online in-house training and school education. Back to Table of Contents I tried using "Report Analysis! Interview The following two members of the Sales Department Support Section were interviewed this time. From left: Takashima, Sales Department Support Section (Tokyo Branch Office) Kashiwabara (Head Office) The interview was conducted by connecting Tokyo and Head Office online. Assuming the situation of CS (customer support) training for new employees, we asked them to use "report analysis" for tasks from creating training questions to scoring. CS (Customer Support) training is one of the new employee training programs offered by learningBOX. It is a report assignment in which participants learn how they should respond as learningBOX customer support staff, based on actual customer inquiries. The report is submitted using the learning management system of learningBOX, and senior employees grade and give feedback on each question. This is a difficult training course. What problems have the graders had with the report assignment so far? Please tell us about the problems you two have had in grading reports. Takashima：When I grade reports, I not only judge whether they pass or fail, but also write feedback comments, but I had to create easy-to-understand sentences from scratch while adding hints so that the students could derive the answers themselves. This was difficult and time-consuming every time. Also, each company member received more than 50 answers in total, and since I had to make pass/fail judgments and provide feedback on the volume of responses in between work, before I knew it, reports were piling up waiting to be graded. Kashiwabara: The answers to the reports were phrased differently for each person, so it took time to check each one to make sure I was getting the points right. It used to take 5 minutes to grade one question, but it was reduced to 1 minute? How did you actually use the report analysis? What were the good points? Kashiwabara: First of all, I thought, "The age of AI has finally arrived! I thought (laughs). (Laughs) But putting that aside, I was glad that the AI automatically presents the similarity of the answers to the model answers and creates feedback comments, so I can immediately judge whether I have correctly filled in the key points for the correct answers. This seemed to reduce the time it used to take me from five minutes to grade one question to about one minute, sensibly. For example, if there are 10 questions, it might take 50 minutes to grade one question, but it could be reduced to 10 minutes. The feedback generated by the AI is also very accurate, such as "this sentence is missing" or "you have written it correctly" for each point, so I have the impression that it can be used without problems as a basis for judgment. Also, if you check the "Analyze on receipt of report" checkbox in advance, when you open the scoring screen, the AI's analyzed answers are already displayed, which I found very convenient. If you check the "Analyze on receipt of report" checkbox, the AI analysis is already completed when you open the grading screen, which saves time! Takashima: I also liked how easy it was to use and how quickly I was able to create the report assignment. Basically, all I had to do was add model answers to the normal flow of creating questions. I thought it was a time saver overall because it also showed the analysis quickly. As Kashiwabara-san said, the feedback sentences provided by the AI were also very accurate and helpful. For example, even if an answer lacks explanation, it will include specific advice in the text. It was very smooth because I could just copy the text and edit it. Creating report assignments is also very speedy! ▼Grades screen using report analysis This system can be used not only for in-house training, but also for various examinations and test preparation! You used the system for grading reports for CS training this time, but what other situations could we use report analysis in? Takashima: In addition to universities, qualification acquisition schools, and in-house training, industries that require accuracy, such as the nursing care and construction industries, have report assignments after training, so it could be used in such situations as well. I also thought it could be used for other purposes, such as employment and promotion exams, as well as in test preparation. Kashiwabara：learningBOX also has a diagnostic test function, but we sometimes receive comments from customers that it is difficult to create diagnostic tests. Certainly, it is difficult to create a diagnostic test from scratch unless you have studied statistics, etc. After using AI Assist, I feel that it is still very good at analysis, so I thought it would be even more convenient if AI Assist was also included in the diagnostic test. What were your concerns and points for improvement? Were there any points that you were concerned about or would like to see improved after actually using the system? Kashiwabara: It may be improved in future modifications, but currently, the bottleneck may be that you can only enter up to 1,000 characters in response to a report assignment. For example, I felt that this was not enough for a university report assignment. I also feel that there needs to be a basis for the "similarity to model answers" figure. This is because, if you answer the model answers as they are, you will naturally get 100%, but if you try to create some answers that are missing some wording from the model answers, the result is often around 85%. There was some variation in the numbers, and I thought it would be more persuasive if we could objectively see what the percentages were based on. The percentage of correct answers is displayed as "similarity to the model answer. I think this 85% is because the AI compares it to the model answer, but if a person were grading it, this would be a point to be added to the score. Given this, I felt it was safe to take the stance that "the AI is only an assistant. Also, there was a point where I thought I might be confused about the input format at first. The input format of the assignment submission method, but please note that you cannot use the report analysis unless you select "text input". To use report analysis, select "text input" and then check "Use AI report analysis (beta) (text input only)" Takashima: In CS training, we often put URLs or images (screenshots) as hints in the feedback of answers, so I would love to see this I would like to see this feature evolve so that it can be inserted! Do you actually want to use this feature in your work in the future? Kashiwabara: Yes, by all means! There are more than 50 report assignments in LearningBOX and QuizGenerator combined, so it is quite hard to grade them while doing my daily work. At this point, I feel that it is difficult to completely rely on AI to grade reports. However, it still saves a lot of time, so we definitely want to use it in the future. I am planning to use it in earnest during the CS training after I join the company in the summer! Back to Table of Contents Summary In this issue, you have seen an interview with Takashima and Kashiwabara about report analysis. The good news is that by making effective use of AI while keeping in mind that "AI is only an assistant," you will be able to efficiently turn around work that used to take a long time! Although there are still some issues to be addressed regarding the accuracy of the AI, we are confident that it will be useful in assisting with the grading of report assignments. We are also offering a free "Easy Quiz Generation by AI" service on the QuizGenerator page, which allows users to generate quizzes automatically by simply entering a short topic or a URL containing the content of the quiz they wish to create. Until the release of the AI-assisted function in September, please enjoy the AI experience here as well. We also recommend this service! Back to the table of contents

This article provides examples of creating teaching materials for learningBOX using SCORM 1.2. Please note that some of the examples may not work outside of learningBOX (in such cases, a cautionary statement will be included). Also, please note that this article has been verified with learningBOX 2.16.14, and older versions or versions to be released in the future may not give identical results. What are SCORM materials on learningBOX? On learningBOX, you can upload and use SCORM 1.2 compliant materials. (*As of learningBOX 2.16.14, uploading SCORM archives (ZIP files) consisting of multiple SCOs is not supported. Also, please note that SCORM versions other than 1.2, such as SCORM 2004, are not supported) Back to Table of Contents Minimum SCORM Materials [File Structure] In learningBOX, if the startup file is index.html, the manifest file ( imsmanifest.xml: a file showing the structure in the ZIP file) is not necessary. (However, almost all LMS require the imsmanifest.xml file. QuizGenerator, CardGenerator, etc. output imsmanifest.xml for compatibility). Note on creating a ZIP file When compiling your materials into a ZIP file, please select and compress the files as shown below. As in the bad example, selecting a folder and compressing it may create an extra folder hierarchy and cause trouble. Also, in the case of Mac, if you use the OS standard ZIP archive function, extra files will be saved, so unnecessary files will be mixed in the problem! Please compress with reference to “Be careful when zipping on a Mac,” etc. API search When the startup file (e.g. index.html) is loaded in the SCORM teaching material, the SCORM API is searched. In learningBOX 2.16 or later, the API is also provided in the preview screen of the teaching material, but the preview screen does not save the grades. Example code: The API is searched for in onload and made accessible via a variable called API of the teaching material, displaying API Found in the console if the API is found, or API not Found if it is not found. (Reference: gist's URL https://gist.github.com/ynishi2014/8d1d951966d12d49c1eee898b4bacc17 Execution example When mounted on learningBOX, the API for SCORM can be found, so the API found“ will be displayed. If you run it on a local drive, etc., it cannot find the API, so it will display API not found. Once the LMSInitialize and LMSFinish APIs are found, execute LMSInitialize. LMSFinish is executed when learning is completed. Please note that grades cannot be sent before or after LMSInitialize is executed. Code Example (Reference) gist's URL https://gist.github.com/ynishi2014/d44930df2eddaa2f4140aab078e5e86f Execution Example When executed with learningBOX, the following is displayed. This alone is a valid SCORM teaching material, but since the learning status (cmi.core.lesson_status) is not updated, it appears that no grades are left on the learningBOX. This is because a grade with cmi.core.lesson_status browsed is treated as an invalid grade in learningBOX. SCORM teaching materials that only pass the test If you set cmi.core.lesson_status to passed in LMSSetValue, it will pass the test. Code Example (Reference) gist's URL https://gist.github.com/ynishi2014/4eb9a00dff3ff867d51192548471a919 Statuses that can be sent The values that can be sent to cmi.core.lesson_status as grades are, The values that can be sent to cmi.core.lesson_status as grades are as follows incomplete: being studied completed: completed passed: passed failed: failed browsed: not displayed Behavior when grades are not sent If grades are not sent, the following will occur First time learning: browsed (not displayed) Second and subsequent learning: inherits the grades from the previous learning session Therefore, you need to be careful about the behavior when you close the material before the grades are determined. status is set to ”browsed“ at the beginning of QuizGenerator, so if you close the course before starting to answer the questions, ”browsed“ will be recorded and it will appear that no grades are left. To check the operation It is best to check the operation with the LMS you plan to use, but since learningBOX can be used by up to 10 users free of charge and indefinitely, it may be easy to use it as an environment for developing and checking the operation of SCORM teaching materials. Visualizing API calls Visualizing API calls can improve development efficiency. Due to the size of the article, we will summarize this in another article. Back to Table of Contents Information that can be sent within the SCORM 1.2 specification In addition to the status (cmi.core.lesson_status) mentioned earlier, the following results can also be sent. By sending these, you can get detailed information on how learning is progressing, which can lead to analysis of the learning situation, appropriate feedback to the learner, and improvement of teaching materials. Score (cmi.core.score.raw) The score, in SCORM 1.2, can be an integer between 0 and 100 in ”string“ format. Example API.LMSSetValue(”cmi.core.score.raw", "100");API. .score.raw", score.toFixed(0)); In the original extended learningBOX, scores over 100 are allowed. For example, 105 and 400 are accepted as valid scores. However, please note that negative numbers and decimals are not allowed. Also, in LMSs other than learningBOX, scores exceeding 100 will result in an error. Time (cmi.core.session_time) This is the learning time, which in the case of learningBOX is automatically measured when LMSInitialize and LMSFinish are executed. If you want to measure more accurate learning time than the time between opening and closing the material, please measure it in the material and send it to us; in QuizGenerator, the time between starting to solve a problem and the result display screen, and in video material, only the time when the video is playing is sent. The following will result in 1 hour, 2 minutes, and 3 seconds. Example API.LMSSetValue(“cmi.core.session_time”, "01:02:03"); Information per question This is a child item of cmi.interactions.n. n must be specified starting from 0. Usage such as starting from 1, skipping numbers, or going back to a smaller number is not allowed. ID (cmi.interactions.n.id) ID. The ID is displayed in the grade details screen as shown in the red frame of the screenshot below. Note that negative numbers and decimals are not allowed, so if you plan to download the grades in CSV or use the API to retrieve the grades, you must specify an appropriate ID. latency (cmi.interactions.n.latency) The time required. The following will be displayed in the grade details screen. correct_responses (cmi.interactions.n.correct_responses.m.pattern) Example of correct responses. Multiple responses can be specified, but only one is likely to be set in most cases. objectives (cmi.interactions.n.objectives.m.id) The objective of each question, i.e., the purpose or goal to be achieved, etc. Values in the format s:xxx are section tags, and values in the format q:xxx are question tags. The value in the format s:xxx will be reflected in the medical record. student_response (cmi.interactions.n.student_response) The student's response. It sends the string entered by the learner, the choice number, and so on. time (cmi.interactions.n.time) The learning time. The time spent on the question is sent. result (cmi.interactions.n.result) Send correct or wrong. Neutral and score can also be sent. Back to Table of Contents Original Extension of learningBOX Normally, cmi.interactions.n.student_response cannot send HTML. Sending Answers in HTML Of course, you can send HTML tags, but the results screen will display the HTML tags you send as is. If you specify html in cmi.interactions.n.student_response_format, cmi. interactions.n.student_response will be interpreted and displayed as HTML. However, JavaScript is restricted so that it cannot be executed. About character limit relaxation Start time / End time (to be supported in 2.18 or later) This function is used to record the start time and end time of the learning process. (Scheduled for release in June 2022) Back to Table of Contents Anti-pattern [Excessive LMSCommit] When LMSCommit is executed, the value set in LMSSetValue is saved. In many LMSs, LMSSetValue does not send data to the server, but sends data to the server at the timing of LMSCommit. This is because the process of sending data to the server takes a relatively long time, and if communication were to take place each time LMSSetValue is executed, processing would be time-consuming. For example, if the number of questions is 100, the number of LMSSetValues per question is 6, and the communication delay is 10 ms, then 100 x 6 x 10 = 6000 ms, which means that it takes 6 seconds to send results. Since the communication delay can be 10 times or more for overseas users, LMSCommit should not be executed excessively. When LMSCommit should be executed It should be executed after cmi.core.lesson_status is sent or after LMSSetValue of all grades is finished. By sending "complete" to cmi.core.lesson_status and executing LMSCommit when learning has started, the grades seen by others (teachers, administrators, etc.) will change to "learning". After the LMSSetValue of all grades has been completed, LMSCommit and LMSFinish should be executed in that order. (*In learnngBOX, even if LMSCommit is not executed before LMSFinish, the process of sending grades will still be executed, so LMSFinish alone is acceptable. The SCORM specification requires that LMSFinish be executed at the end of the process, so there is no guarantee of behavior if LMSFinish is not executed. LMSSetValue without checking implementation SCORM1.2 compliant LMSs do not necessarily implement all of the SCORM1.2 specifications. Therefore, before executing LMSSetValue, you should check whether the element you are trying to send is implemented.
