Let's enhance effective e-learning.

[Visualizing Weaknesses] Using e-Learning to Graph Learners“ ”Weak Areas” / Analyzing Performance to Enhance Learning Outcomes By using the quiz feature and report cards in our e-learning system, you can generate “score distributions and item-level analysis” from learners’ response data. In this article, we’ll introduce “Learner Answer Analysis” using the [Tagging Feature] in learningBOX’s quiz function and its report feature. Administrators can instantly see learners’ levels of understanding, identify areas for improvement, and grasp scores and overall trends by subject. If you’re a customer struggling with how to “analyze and aggregate” learner answer trends and score distributions, Please use this article as a guide and give learningBOX’s quiz feature and grade reports a try. Table of Contents: Easily Create Exams Online | Visualize Answer Data at a Glance with Grade Management | Radar Charts in Grade Reports Are Recommended for Score Analysis | Summary Easily Create Exams Online: With learningBOX’s quiz feature, anyone can easily create tests. Even if you’re not confident in your computer skills or IT knowledge, you can create a test in just a few minutes using the question creation form. You can combine 13 different question formats—including multiple-choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank—to create your test. Additionally, by setting completion requirements, you can impose restrictions—for example, allowing only those who have studied the displayed learning material to proceed to the next practice questions. Assigning Tags to Questions Using the “Tagging Feature” within the quiz function, you can assign tags to the questions you create. When learners study questions with tags assigned, you can aggregate and analyze the “number of correct and incorrect answers and the accuracy rate by tag” in the Grade Management report feature. Since you can categorize questions in greater detail according to your objectives and needs, please make full use of this feature to identify learners’ weak areas and facilitate self-analysis. Tags can be set for each section within [Quizzes/Tests] or for questions within the same category. How to Use the Tagging Feature You set tags while creating [Quizzes/Tests] from the Content Management screen. Step 1. Open the Content Management screen Click “Content Management” on the top page or in the side menu. Step 2. Create a Quiz/Test In this example, we’ll create one using the question creation form. Click the “+” icon in the upper-left corner of the screen, then select “Learning Materials,” “Quizzes & Tests,” and either “Create Quiz” or “Create Test.” *Be sure to create a course on the Content Management homepage and then create the quiz or test within that course. Step 3. Set Tags Click “Edit Tabs” below the questions. For section tags, click “+ Add Section,” then click “Edit Tags” below the section. *When setting up a section, set “Mode” to “Normal Mode” in the options. Answer Data Visualized at a Glance in Grade Management Learners’ grades can be viewed in “Grade Management” and the “Learner Profile” feature. Use “Grade Management” for overall grade tracking and the “Learner Profile” for individual learner performance management and analysis.   How to Use the Tagging and Student Profile Features When learners take a quiz or test with tags assigned, their performance data for each tag is displayed on the Student Profile screen. By using the Student Profile, you can visualize, based on graphs and performance data, how much learners study each day, what types of questions they excel at or struggle with, and more. You can also download all performance data in bulk as a CSV file. About Viewing Performance Data in the Learner Profile Here, we’ll walk you through the steps to view detailed performance data in the Learner Profile. Step 1. Open the "Student Profile" screen. Click “Grading & Analysis” and then “Student Profile” in the side menu. Step 2. Select the target learner. A list of learners will be displayed; click “Details” to the right of the target learner. Step 3. Viewing Performance Information by Tag: Click the “Tag List” tab. Here, you can view the number of correct and incorrect answers, the total number of responses, the time taken, and the accuracy rate for each tag. Note that you can also filter the tag list by content, time period, or search criteria. *To display only specific content, select the desired content in the “Learning Progress” section at the bottom of the “Basic Information” tab. Step 4. Display only section tags. Click “Section Tags Only” to display only the performance data for section tags. We recommend using the radar chart analysis in the report card for score analysis. Using the learningBOX report card, you can graph scores and score percentages for multiple items together, allowing you to identify learners’ strengths and weaknesses at a glance.   Here are the features of the report card: 1. You can check the balance of scores and percentage scores for each item. 2. You can identify which areas are weak points. *For detailed instructions on how to use it, please refer to this report card. Feature 1: Check the balance of scores and percentage scores for each item. Feature 2: Identify areas of weakness. Summary: In this article, we introduced “Learner Answer Analysis” using learningBOX’s quiz feature [Tagging Function] and the report card. Administrators can instantly see learners’ levels of understanding, identify areas for improvement, and review scores and overall trends by subject. Our e-learning system, [learningBOX], is available free of charge to everyone—from individuals to businesses.

[Recommended for video training! What is learningBOX's video delivery system?

[Recommended for Video Training!] What Is learningBOX’s Video Delivery System? Hello, I’m Okuda, a Project Manager (PM) in the Development Department. In this article, I’ll introduce learningBOX’s video delivery system. Our e-learning platform is an LMS that allows anyone to easily create learning materials and upload video content with ease. For delivery, we use the “streaming method,” which is commonly adopted by video streaming sites today. learningBOX offers several delivery methods, including streaming, so I’ll explain them here.   Table of Contents 1. What Are the Best Video-on-Demand (VOD) Services for e-Learning? 2. Features of Streaming and Download Delivery 3. The Streaming Technology Used by learningBOX 4. We Recommend the Premium Plan for High-Quality Video Viewing! 5. Summary What Are the Best Video-on-Demand (VOD) Services for e-Learning? VOD stands for “Video on Demand” and refers to a service that allows users to watch movies and TV shows for a flat monthly fee via the internet. It’s a service that lets you watch videos on various devices at home—including PCs, smartphones, tablets, and even game consoles—via the internet or mobile data connections. There are various types of VOD services, ranging from those specializing in movies to those offering a wide selection of Japanese TV dramas. For example, YouTube is a video streaming service that can be used for free. Online Video Streaming Currently, online video streaming allows users to enjoy movies and TV shows through subscription-based services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. In addition, there are now numerous platforms catering to a wide range of audience sizes, from user-generated content sites like YouTube and TikTok to live streams such as Instagram Live and webinars. Furthermore, the devices on which videos can be viewed are diverse, with most services offering standard support for viewing on PCs, tablets, and smartphones.   Characteristics of Streaming and Download-Based Distribution On-demand distribution is broadly categorized into “streaming” and “download-based distribution.” *On-demand distribution refers to a method where viewers watch content that has been created in advance and uploaded to a server at the time they request it. What Is Streaming? Streaming is a technology that allows users to comfortably view large files, such as videos, over a network connection. Since large data files on the server are loaded in small increments and played sequentially, users can watch content without worrying about download times or the storage capacity of their devices. What Is Download-Based Distribution? Download-based distribution is a method where the entire file is downloaded to the device before playback begins. Before the widespread adoption of streaming, download-based distribution was the standard method for video distribution. In this method, video data is downloaded from the provider to the user’s device before playback begins.   The Shift from Download to Streaming Just as the U.S. music market shifted from downloads to streaming around 2015, the trend in video distribution has also shifted toward streaming as the mainstream method. In the past, the predominant method involved downloading video data completely to the device and then playing the video file separately. On Windows systems, users would download files such as WMV or MP4, and on Mac systems, MOV files, and play them using players like Windows Media Player. Other methods included restricting playback to specific players based on the system or using systems integrated with DRM (Digital Rights Management). However, with the widespread adoption of 4G and 5G networks as well as broadband—which has led to year-on-year improvements in transfer speeds—and the emergence of new streaming standards, the industry has shifted toward streaming distribution. This shift not only helps prevent storage congestion on devices but also supports copyright protection by preventing the redistribution of content. Of course, downloads haven’t disappeared entirely, and services that still offer download-based distribution continue to exist. In particular, to meet the demand for offline viewing—such as the desire to “watch content on a tablet or smartphone even in places without an internet connection while out and about”—many subscription-based streaming services provide dedicated apps that allow users to download content while ensuring proper content protection.   Streaming Technology Used by learningBOX Here, we’ll introduce the distribution methods used by learningBOX. learningBOX offers two versions of its movie player—Version 1 and Version 2—which use different distribution formats. Version 1 uses the “progressive download method,” while Version 2 uses the “HLS streaming method.” Let’s take a look at the characteristics of each.   Progressive Download Method “Progressive download,” also known as “pseudo-streaming,” is a method in which content is temporarily stored in the cache of a computer or smartphone before playback begins. Even in poor network conditions, playback remains smooth once the data has been downloaded. On the other hand, since the content is temporarily stored on the device, there are concerns regarding copyright protection and the potential for it to take up space on the hard drive. HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) Method Unlike the progressive download method described above, the “streaming method” only transfers the video currently being played to the user, leaving no data on the device. Basically, as long as you have an Internet connection with sufficient transfer speed, smooth playback is possible, and even during long playback sessions, it does not take up space on your hard drive. The HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) format is a streaming protocol developed by Apple. It is currently the most widely used standard for streaming. You can check which version is currently specified for learningBOX under “Learning Environment Settings,” and you can also change the version. Please choose the appropriate setting based on your environment. We recommend the Premium Plan for watching videos in high quality! Depending on the plan you use with learningBOX, the video quality during playback varies. The higher your plan tier, the higher the video quality you can upload. No matter how high the quality of your video files is, the video may appear lower in quality if your current plan doesn’t support it. When using video learning materials, choose a plan that suits your environment so that learners can study without feeling stressed. For more details on pricing plans, please see the learningBOX Pricing Plans page. ▼Click here for recommended articles about videos Summary: In this article, we introduced learningBOX’s video delivery system.

You can specify the OS, browser, and version of the device used to take the online exam in detail.

Even if your internet connection suddenly becomes unstable, “audio files,” “video files,” and “image files” can still be “played” or “displayed.” Therefore, even if your connection becomes unstable during an exam or study session, you can continue without any issues! ⇒ Media Data Preloading Feature: Grade Exams in Excel. For exams that include a report format, simply enter pass/fail results and scores into the downloaded Excel file and upload it to complete the grading of the report-style answers. Since you can grade multiple pieces of content for multiple test-takers all at once, this also saves time! ⇒ Report Grading Believe it or not, all of the above features were added in Version 2.16!

How to memorize world history using e-learning] Super efficient study method to win the exam

[How to Memorize World History Using e-Learning] A Super-Efficient Study Method to Ace Your Exams I’m Takataoka from the Marketing Department. This article is recommended for anyone looking to improve their scores in world history. By making just a few small changes to how you memorize world history, you can dramatically boost your study efficiency. Let’s use the study methods introduced in this article to aim for higher scores in World History! Click here for the Table of Contents 1. A Thorough Analysis and Explanation of World History Memorization Methods 2. Recommended Learning Tools Anyone Can Use for Free 3. E-Learning with learningBOX 4. Summary A Thorough Analysis and Explanation of World History Memorization Methods World History is a subject that requires memorizing a large number of terms and keywords. For this reason, many students find World History to be a challenging subject. However, by learning the correct study methods for World History and putting them into practice, it is also a subject where you can achieve results in a short period of time. Here, we’ll introduce three approaches and study methods for efficiently memorizing world history. #1: Recognize the Importance of “Output” in Studying Output is essential for progressing in your studies and improving your skills. Input—such as reading books and attending lectures to accumulate knowledge—is, of course, important. However, if you focus solely on input without engaging in output, your critical thinking skills may deteriorate. As is common with subjects that rely on memorization, the process of repeatedly cycling between input and output is extremely important. ⇒ It has been proven that repetitive learning—memorizing the same material over and over—transfers information from short-term to long-term memory, making it easier to recall. (This is known as the “rehearsal effect.”) ▼Memory retention depends on output! Dr. Carpick’s experiments on memory Part 2: Practice “one question, one answer” exercises. Generally speaking, when people simply “read” something, they tend to skim over it, making it difficult to memorize effectively. In world history, where the volume of knowledge to be memorized is vast, it is extremely important to solidify each piece of information. Reviewing through “question-and-answer” drills helps prevent situations where you find yourself asking, “Who was that person again?” or “What did that term mean again?” and is expected to help solidify your knowledge. The ultimate goal of studying world history is to understand the flow of history and the cause-and-effect relationships between events. The foundation for this is accurate knowledge of historical terms and their meanings. Part 3: How to Use Your Time for Memorization The key to memorizing world history is, above all, to repeat the material over and over again. Therefore, studying inevitably requires time. The key is to make effective use of spare moments. According to a survey conducted by Panasonic Corporation of 640 men and women in their 20s through 50s, the average person has 1 hour and 9 minutes of spare time per day. Even small pockets of free time add up to a mountain of time. Even if it’s just about an hour a day, that amounts to 360 hours in a year and 7,200 hours over 20 years.   Recommended Learning Tools Anyone Can Use for Free Have you heard of e-learning?
