Full-scale introduction in 2024] An in-depth look at digital textbooks now, which will begin soon! My name is Kidaoka, and I am in charge of marketing. I find myself entering my third year of life in Hyogo Prefecture! With the start of the new fiscal year, our company has gained yet another new member and is becoming more and more active. To all the new members, let's make the company exciting together from now on! Putting aside the chit-chat, I'd like to get right into the contents of this issue. For those of you who work in the school industry! Digital textbooks will be available in the near future. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is steadily preparing for the introduction of digital textbooks by the year 2024. In this article, we will introduce digital textbooks, which are likely to become a pillar of education in the future. We hope you will continue to read this article with us. Click here for Table of Contents 1. The "age of digital textbooks" is coming. 2. Advantages of Introducing Digital Textbooks 3. ICT Education in Japan toward the Realization of Digital Textbooks 4. Changing School Education with "IT" x "Education"! 5. Conclusion The "age of digital textbooks" is coming! Digital textbooks, whose introduction was institutionalized in April 2019, are electronic learning materials that are recorded directly from paper textbooks. Digital textbooks are literally learning materials designed for digital devices and information terminals such as PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Although most people have the impression that they are digital versions of books and reference books that have been used in the classroom, digital textbooks are convenient textbooks that allow students to edit and write in the textbook and connect to the Internet. According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, digital textbooks are proposed as follows Digital textbooks are defined as "electromagnetic records that contain the entire content of a paper textbook." This is defined as Quote: Institutionalization of Digital Textbooks for Learners / from MEXT Institutionalization of Digital Textbooks for Learners Starts in April 2019 In April 2019, the "Act for Partial Revision of the School Education Act, etc." came into effect. This law is intended to introduce digital textbooks for learners in elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and special-needs schools for the purpose of improving classes and assisting learning based on the new Courses of Study to be implemented in FY2020. Institutionalization has made it possible for classes to be conducted using digital textbooks in combination with paper textbooks while dealing mainly with paper textbooks. Laws and regulations related to the institutionalization of digital textbooks are as follows 1. Act for Partial Revision of the School Education Act, etc. (Act No. 39 of 2008) 2. Ministerial Ordinance Partially Amending the Enforcement Regulations of the School Education Law (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ordinance No. 35, 2008) 3. Ordinance on the use of teaching materials prescribed in Article 34, Paragraph 2 of the School Education Law (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Notification No. 237, 2008) Reference: From "Summary of Laws and Regulations Concerning the Institutionalization of Digital Textbooks for Learners" by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Advantages of Introducing Digital Textbooks The full-scale introduction of digital textbooks will bring about a major change in the educational field and in the way classes are conducted at schools. It is expected that the one-way teaching style from teacher to student that is currently the mainstay of education will be replaced by an interactive style where children learn independently and teachers provide support. Even if the content is difficult to convey through textual information alone, information can be pinpointed to the "visual and auditory senses" through the use of IT technology, allowing for efficient learning while having fun at the same time. It is expected that easy-to-understand lessons using images, animations, and videos will "increase children's interest and attention" and further motivate them to learn. Advantages of Digital Textbooks (for Learners/Administrators) Digital textbooks are equipped with many functions. Here are some of the features and advantages of digital textbooks in detail. Advantages for Learners 1. No need for correction pens, so you can easily write and edit as many times as you like. 2. Audio and video are available for learning. 3. Visualization of individual learning progress and performance history Eliminates the need to carry textbooks and notebooks In addition, if classes can be taught using only digital textbooks, a single tablet can replace all textbooks, reducing the burden on students' luggage. Focused support for students with learning disabilities Students with learning disabilities and visually impaired students will be able to receive support that was not possible with conventional textbooks, such as "text enlargement, text color change, and voice reading out loud. Advantages for Instructors 1. Easily review classes conducted in the past 2. Easy-to-understand lessons can be conducted with a high degree of freedom. 3. Digital textbooks can be used to improve the quality of education by providing access to class records and numerical data on student learning. 4. Learning information can be shared, improving the efficiency of class preparation. To briefly summarize the features of digital textbooks, they allow students to "learn while deepening their knowledge through text, audio, video, and various data. In addition, it is expected that digital textbooks can be used to promote deeper understanding that is not possible with conventional textbooks, for example, by allowing children to research their individual questions in more detail on the Internet. ICT Education in Japan for Realization of Digital Educational Materials ICT education refers to educational methods that utilize the Internet and other information and communication technologies, such as PCs, smartphones, and tablet terminals. The history of ICT education was developed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2005 as a teaching method to realize "easy-to-understand classes" for students. Through the effective use of ICT in educational instruction, we aim to improve children's independent and inquisitive learning and academic skills. In fact, many schools that have adopted this teaching method have reported improvements in students' motivation to learn and academic performance. Reference: Effectiveness of ICT-based education - from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Why is ICT education necessary now? The reason why ICT education is attracting attention is related to the rapid development of information and communication technology. In order to cope with today's rapidly changing society, "information utilization skills" are becoming increasingly important. Today, the Internet has become widespread and information is easily accessible. As technology advances in the future, it will become more important to know how to gather information efficiently, rather than to have knowledge as was done in conventional education. For more information on ICT education, please refer to this article. GIGA School Concept, the Role of Schools in the Age of 2022 by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) The GIGA School Concept refers to a reform plan for ICT education in schools proposed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in 2019. GIGA stands for "Global and Innovation Gateway for All" and aims to pave the way for globalization and innovation for all students. For children living in the age of 2025, the use of ICT-based advanced technology in education will be indispensable in the future. In addition, in order to survive in this era of rapid change, it is important to realize not only conventional simultaneous education, but also individually optimized education that fosters creativity, leaving no one behind among diverse children, and it is necessary to nurture the next generation of human resources through ICT education. Changing school education through "IT" × "Education learningBOX", an e-learning system from Tatsuno Information System, Inc. is a learning management system that can be easily set up to "add/create/manage digital teaching materials" and is ideal for the "GIGA School Concept".

A Must-See for HR Professionals! DX Changes Corporate Internal Education and Human Resource Reform My name is Kidaoka, I am in charge of marketing. In 2020, companies faced difficult business operations due to the spread of the new coronavirus. In the midst of the coronary disaster, society as a whole developed a tendency to avoid "meeting with people," and various businesses that had been built on "meeting with people" were no longer viable. In order to overcome this situation, the use of digital technology played an indispensable role! The year 2021 is said to be the year of DX, or the year in which the digital revolution will begin in earnest. DX is an essential measure for companies to survive in the future. The impact of the new coronavirus has led to the introduction of remote work, but at the same time, it has also brought to light the challenges of human resource assessment and management. In this article, we will introduce the features of an "e-Learning x Talent Management System" that reduces the burden of in-house training and HR operations and leads to greater efficiency. Table of Contents 1. The age of DX is coming to in-house training 2. Strategic HR using DX to nurture people and protect the company 3. Limited to the first 50 companies! We will provide thorough support for your company's DX promotion! 4. Summary The full-fledged DX era has arrived for in-house education as well. Due to the impact of the spread of the new coronavirus, teleworking has rapidly accelerated in large companies since last year. Even manufacturers that had not yet made the transition to DX were forced to change, with most meetings switching to using online tools such as Zoom and Googlemeet. DX is a term that describes digital transformation and refers to the use of IT information technology to change people's lives for the better. It is used as a fundamental effort by companies to transform their business models and operations through the use of IT information technologies such as AI, IoT, and Big Data, and is based on the concept of "creating new value in existing business processes and business models. Click here for related articles on DX The rapid shift to DX is also taking place in the field of human resources training! Companies that are primarily teleworkers are moving their training to the web and promoting in-house training through online learning using e-learning and an LMS (Learning Management System) with live delivery capabilities. Many LMSs are equipped with systems and functions that allow most of the tasks previously performed in conventional training to be completed on the Web, such as "checking attendance and participation, administering comprehension tests, and communicating with instructors and trainees. LMS stands for Learning Management System, also known as a learning management system. As the name implies, LMS was originally designed to deliver e-learning courses to students and to manage their learning history as data. For more information on LMS, please refer to this article. Recommended for corporate training! E-learning to streamline and automate in-house training The most common type of corporate training is group training for new employees, but in recent years, "e-learning," which utilizes the Internet, has been attracting attention. E-learning refers to "a form of learning that uses a variety of devices, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets," and is an educational style in which learning is digitized. E-learning allows trainees to proceed with training at their own convenience and at their own time, and is increasingly being introduced as part of various in-house training programs. Training for new employees and other essential internal training programs are often costly and time-consuming tasks, such as schedule management and preparation of personnel in charge. In addition, the diversification of human resources and the segmentation of required skills have made it impractical to provide group training in which everyone takes the same course. Advantages of e-Learning for Corporate Training E-learning is a method of corporate training that allows each trainee to proceed at his or her own pace, anytime, anywhere, without the constraints of time or location. A wider range of materials can be used than with books, reference books, or lectures alone, and the progress and performance information of trainees can be easily checked. E-learning, which can provide an efficient learning environment on the Internet that is difficult to achieve with conventional group training and education, has been widely adopted in Japan since the 2000s by companies, universities, and other organizations. The following costs are incurred when conducting conventional group training 1. transportation costs incurred when gathering participants at a single location 2. venue costs incurred in conducting the training 3. Printing costs for materials distributed at the training Personnel costs for outside lecturers who are in charge of the training E-learning can be used repeatedly once the learning environment has been established. Conducting training via e-Learning can reduce the cost of venues and the time and expense required to prepare and distribute materials. E-learning can also provide flexible learning opportunities for people with irregular working hours or mid-career hires, who would otherwise be difficult to accommodate through group training. Strategic HR using DX to nurture people and protect the company Administrative tasks that HR mainly performs, such as human resource management and personnel evaluation, are very suitable for automation and systemization. HR operations are an area where organizations can easily take the first step in promoting DX, and major companies are introducing systems one after another to improve internal efficiency. However, back-office operations such as human resources and labor affairs have long been viewed as problematic due to their inefficiency and complexity. Here, we will introduce a "talent management system" that is useful for data management and personnel evaluation of such HR operations. Using a talent management system allows centralized management of cumbersome data Talent management is a concept that originated in the United States in the 1990s. A talent management system is a concept that aims at strategic personnel allocation and human resource development by centrally managing and operating data on employee abilities, qualities, techniques, skills, and experience. In Japan, it became widely recognized in the 2010s, when the decline in the working population became an issue. Talent management systems are characterized by the visualization of employee abilities, enabling the placement of the right people in the right positions and human resource development! How to utilize a talent management system Here are some specific ways to utilize the talent management system. 1. Improve employee morale by visualizing engagement 2. Enable strategic human resource development and allocation 3. Improvement of wasteful HR-related operations Visualization of engagement improves employee morale Engagement is an expression of "attachment" and "feelings" toward the company. Increasing employee engagement is attracting attention as an important issue for the future survival of a company. According to the Motivation Engineering Research Institute's study on "Engagement and Corporate Performance," it is suggested that increased engagement has a positive impact on employee productivity. The introduction of a talent management system can be used to visualize employee engagement, which is effective for human resources and corporate management. No. 2: Strategic human resource development and placement becomes possible. The greatest benefit of a talent management system is that it enables objective and comprehensive evaluation of employee abilities. In the conventional evaluation system, evaluations were often based on the judgment and image of the supervisor, and it was not uncommon for employees to not be able to utilize their true abilities. If a system that centrally manages data is in place, it will be easier for employees to receive legitimate evaluations based on data from a comprehensive perspective, rather than someone's biased judgment. 3. Improvement of wastefulness in human resource-related work By centrally managing data that was previously managed in various media such as Excel and paper, HR operations can be greatly simplified. Since the data can be managed centrally on the web, it is certain that you will be able to streamline your HR operations at once from the conventional management method! By streamlining HR operations, resources can be allocated to other tasks. Limited to the first 50 companies! We will thoroughly support your company's DX promotion!

How to Choose a Server for Your E-Learning Implementation My name is Kidaoka, and I am in charge of marketing. In this article, we will discuss "What exactly is a server?" about the types of servers and their uses. Although we often hear the word "server," we understand that many people are at a loss for a specific answer when asked about servers. In fact, there are several types of servers, each with different uses. When implementing e-learning, it is essential to build a server. If you are considering implementing e-learning and are wondering how to proceed with its operation, please contact us! In this article, we will introduce in detail the features of "dedicated servers and shared servers" in addition to the basic server structure, functions, and features. Click here for Table of Contents What exactly is a server? Types of servers and their uses 3. How to choose a server that best suits your needs Summary What exactly is a server...? A server is "a computer that provides a service" and is written in English as Server. A server is a computer on the side of a company that provides a service, and is connected to the user via the Internet. A computer or program that provides data in response to a user's request is called a "server," and a user who receives information or services provided by a server is called a "client. To summarize briefly. ⇒ A computer is responsible for providing various information, services, and data to other computers connected via the Internet. Relationship between a server and the Internet A server is a networked computer that provides data and services to other computers. Servers work by receiving commands from clients and returning requested data and services to the client side. Imagine that you are browsing a website on the Internet. When you want to visit a particular web site, you first enter search keywords into your web browser and press the Enter key to confirm your decision. At this time, we (the client) inquire the address of the website we want to display to the server that manages the address (IP address) on the Web, and request the display of the website. The server that stores the data of the website page provides data such as images and HTML files of the requested website. Through this series of mechanisms, the corresponding Web site is displayed. The sequence of events leading up to the display of a website (1) Input "search keywords and URL" into a web browser. (2) Send the URL to the DNS server and convert it to an IP address (address on the Internet). (3) Access the web server of the corresponding IP address (4) Web page data is provided by the web server and displayed on the web browser. The web server provides the data for the web page, which is then displayed in the web browser. Types of servers and their uses There are two main types of servers: physical servers and virtual servers. In this article, we will focus on physical servers! What is a physical server? A physical server is a single server that physically exists and is the computer itself that provides the service. For example, a personal computer is a physical server. ⇒Physical servers are further classified into two types: shared servers and dedicated servers. Shared Server A shared server is a service where one server is used by multiple users. Because a single server is used by multiple users, the initial cost, annual and monthly fees, and other usage fees are much lower than for a dedicated server. However, since the service is shared by multiple users, there are some disadvantages such as the inability to customize the company's own settings and design, and the possibility that system processing may be affected depending on how other users use the server. A shared server can be easily understood if you think of it as renting a room in a condominium, with multiple residents in one apartment. Dedicated Server Shared servers share a single server, while dedicated servers use an entire server. The advantage of a dedicated server is that the subscriber has full use of the server's resources! This allows for more stable operation of your site, since you have exclusive use of a large amount of disk space and a stable Internet connection. In addition, a dedicated server has administrative rights to the server, allowing the company to install software and change settings as needed. On the other hand, the disadvantage is that you must also operate and build the server yourself, and it costs more than the aforementioned shared server. Dedicated servers can be easily understood by imagining that you are renting an entire house. Tidbits of Server Knowledge You Might Want to Know There are many different types of servers, and web services are made possible by the work of many servers. Each server plays a different role, but the following servers are closely related to e-learning operations as they play an important role. 1. Web servers A web server returns data in response to requests from users' web browsers (Chrome, Safari, etc.). It handles HTML files, etc., with a focus on HTTP. Web servers store HTML, CSS, image files, and other files necessary for content. Generally, when we refer to a server, we are referring to a web server. Mail server A mail server is a server that provides users with services for sending and receiving mail. It stores mail sent to its own network and passes it on to users, sends mail from its own network to other networks, and provides other functions related to sending and receiving mail. The receiving server uses IMAP and POP3, and the sending server uses a protocol called SMTP to send and receive mail. 3. database server The major role of the database server is to manage, store, update, delete, and back up the data handled by the system in data storage. The database server is used to store, overwrite, and extract customer information and other data as needed, and is essential for processing relatively large websites and applications. Data is extracted using SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.). Part 4: DNS Servers DNS is a server that is essential for smooth use of the Internet. DNS stands for "Domain Name System" and is a system that links domain names to IP addresses. Domain names are addresses on the Internet and are important clues for identifying the destination of communications. Each homepage has an address, called an IP address, and the DNS server converts this number into a domain so that the homepage can be easily identified by Internet users. How to choose a server that best suits your usage scenario When using e-learning to handle corporate information or confidential information, such as training for new employees or in-house training If learner access is limited to the intranet, we recommend considering a dedicated server. Since the company server is used in a closed environment, there is less risk of information leakage and security than a shared server used by an unspecified number of users. In addition, dedicated servers often have higher specifications than shared servers, making them suitable for operation of high-load websites and the like. Intranet refers to an "internal network," i.e., a network with a limited scope, such as within a company or university. We want to reduce the initial cost of e-learning! If you use a shared server, you can reduce the initial cost. In addition, since a shared server uses the environment provided by the contracting company, you do not need to have any specialized knowledge to use it. LearningBOX is an LMS that allows you to start e-learning from as low as 30,000 yen per year, which is 1/10 of the industry price!

Features of e-Learning In recent years, with the spread of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, many learning applications have been developed. However, it is difficult for all learning apps to be used directly as learning materials in schools, and many educators have probably had their heads turned. Unlike learning apps, e-learning allows students to "create and edit" their own learning materials and exam questions, and collect detailed performance information and data on each student. With the spread of the Internet and advances in information technology, companies, schools, and society as a whole have high expectations for its potential in terms of ease of use and learning effectiveness. E-Learning Learning Rapidly Advancing in the Wake of the New Coronavirus Conventional learning methods involve "person-to-person" education, in which an instructor gives a lecture directly to the student at a specific place and time. In contrast, e-learning is a learning style that enables students to "receive education anytime, anywhere, anytime and anytime" via a network of terminals such as PCs, tablets, and smartphones. It is a system that combines IT and information technology, and is used in the same sense as "educational IT" and "web learning/online learning" because it is learning via a network. For more information on e-learning, please refer to this article. Effective learning methods based on the brain's memory mechanism Our brain stores information in two areas: the hippocampus, which temporarily stores memories, and the cerebral cortex, which stores information for the long term and can utilize it when necessary. Newly learned information is once stored in the hippocampus, and only that which is deemed necessary is sent to the cortex. Information that comes in through the eyes, ears, and other sensory organs is temporarily stored in the hippocampus, a region deep in the brain, but most of it disappears. Because the brain is constantly receiving large amounts of information, it is necessary to determine the value and priority of the information and discard it. Three processes are essential to the memory process The memory process can be divided into three stages: inscription, retention, and recall. Inscription is the process of converting information from an external stimulus into meaning and capturing it as a memory, retention is the process of storing what has been inscribed, and recall is the process of outputting the stored memory after a certain period of time. Memory is a process that involves the following three steps: remembering ⇒ keeping ⇒ recalling. Effective Learning Methods Derived from the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve is a curve that shows the degree of "savings" in long-term memory. It is a graph that shows how much of what you have memorized remains in your mind over time. The "savings rate" is a percentage that indicates how much time is saved in terms of the time it takes to completely re-memorize the content once memorized. Hypotheses and findings derived from the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve ▼ Key points from the experiment The more time passes, the longer it takes people to recall, and relearning at an earlier stage decreases the time and burden of recall. In addition, the potential memory retention period is thought to be about 30 days, during which time it is important to review. In order to remember, it is also important to repeat the same content over and over again. Furthermore, an output-oriented learning method is effective in order to increase the chances of recall. Repetitive learning is effective for memory retention. As can be seen from the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, memory becomes more forgettable with the passage of time, and most of what we remember disappears unconsciously. The key to memory retention is the timing of review. People often say, "Review before you forget," but this is actually a big mistake. This is because memories are more likely to stick when you are trying your best to remember them. Data show that memories are more likely to stick in brain circuits when output is repeated rather than input. This hypothesis is supported by experiments conducted by Dr. Karpik at the University of Washington. The experiment conducted by Dr. Karpik is described in detail in this article. LearningBOX's test creation function is recommended for memory retention! Testing is a good way to consolidate memory, but it can be a daunting task to administer a test every time.

E-learning can make a dramatic difference! What are the advantages and disadvantages of introducing it? My name is Kidaoka, and I am in charge of marketing. In this article, we will discuss the "merits and demerits" of implementing e-learning. The introduction of e-learning has many advantages not only for the company that operates it, but also for the participants. The new coronavirus has led to the shift to IT in society as a whole, and the need for online classes and online training is on the rise. Even in the future with-corona era, schools and companies will need to train people. E-learning has its advantages and disadvantages, but what we are concerned about is the actual results after the introduction of the system. By understanding the "advantages and disadvantages" of e-learning in advance, you can make preparations for using it for different purposes and enhancing learning effectiveness. In this paper, we will explain in detail what kind of effects can be expected from the use of e-Learning. Click here for Table of Contents 1. Background to the Growing Demand for e-Learning 2. Advantages and disadvantages of e-Learning 3. How to introduce e-learning 4. Introduction of learningBOX case studies 5. Summary Background of the growing demand for e-learning Due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection, many companies have begun to consider and introduce teleworking. The Japanese government is also encouraging telework to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. In addition, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, it has become difficult to conduct group training. However, in order for a company to continue to grow, it is important to create a system that fosters a flexible attitude and organizational climate in which each employee is willing to take on challenges in learning. In order to solve these social conditions and problems, "e-learning learning" is now attracting a great deal of attention. Characteristics of e-Learning E-learning is a learning system that uses electronic devices such as PCs and smartphones and the Internet to enable students to "improve their skills at their own pace, unrestricted by time or place. Advantages and Disadvantages of e-Learning In order to demonstrate the benefits of introducing e-Learning, it is most important to make sure that it is well utilized in in-house training programs. When considering the introduction of e-Learning for training, certification, and school education, understanding the advantages and disadvantages will make the introduction and operation go smoothly. We have compiled a list of possible customer utilization scenarios, so let's take a quick look. E-learning for in-house training Once a learning environment has been created, e-learning can be used repeatedly. Therefore, it has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of in-house group training and training for new employees. The following costs are incurred when conducting group training Transportation costs incurred when gathering participants at the training venue. 2. venue costs incurred in order to conduct the training 3. Printing and distribution costs for training materials 4. expenses for outside lecturers who will be in charge of the training Conducting training via e-learning can reduce the time and costs associated with venue expenses and course textbook distribution. It can also provide flexible learning opportunities for people with irregular working hours or mid-career hires, who would otherwise be difficult to accommodate with group training. E-Learning in School Education E-learning learning can be easily exported from the delivery system, LMS (Learning Management System). The learning history file stores data necessary for learning management, such as learning progress (not yet / in progress / completed, etc.), time of implementation, time required, test scores, etc. E-learning can also quantify the performance data here and display it in a graph. ▼ Advantages in School Education 1. Students can study anytime, anywhere at their own convenience. 2. Students can study according to their level of understanding and learning progress. 3. Easy to grasp the grade data and grade management You can take as many preparatory, review, and re-study courses as you like. E-learning is a very suitable learning method for qualification acquisition, preparation for examinations, and overcoming weak subjects, because you can study at your own pace and repeat as many times as you like. Disadvantages of e-Learning Because each learner has to make time for the e-learning course, there is a possibility that the motivation and desire to learn may be difficult to sustain on one's own. There may be cases where learners do not study because they are too busy with their work. Unlike group training, which provides semi-forced learning opportunities, it is important for learners to actively engage in learning. Therefore, companies need to take measures to keep learners motivated, such as incorporating gamification elements into learning and creating a community among learners. The advantages and disadvantages of e-learning can be briefly summarized as follows How to implement e-learning Based on the advantages and disadvantages of e-Learning, many of you who are considering actually implementing e-Learning may be wondering how to go about it. Here we would like to focus on the advantages of creating e-Learning materials in-house. Creating e-Learning materials in-house E-learning systems can be produced in-house. The main things you will need are the learning management system I mentioned earlier and learning materials for e-learning created with slides and other materials. One of the advantages of in-house production is the ability to create training content unique to the company. The easier it is to upload, the less work is required to create content and the more regularly it can be updated. If you are considering using e-Learning for training, but are not sure whether to create the materials in-house or outsource them, please take a look here. Advantages of Creating e-Learning Materials In-House First of all, outsourcing requires a lot of time and money to revise the materials once they are created. The disadvantages of outsourcing are the same in any field, but once created, revisions and updates are costly in terms of additional fees and time and effort to request them. 2. when created in-house, we can easily create and modify it ourselves. On the other hand, if you create the materials in-house, you can easily create and revise them yourself, and you can control the maintenance of the materials after they are created. If you are creating your own materials, the ease of use of eLearning is critical! When creating e-Learning materials in-house, isn't the most important point to make the materials easy to use? If you want to create your own e-learning materials, the most important thing is to be able to create them easily, isn't it? One of the concepts of learningBOX is "a system that allows anyone to easily build a web-based learning environment. Have you ever had the experience of not knowing how to operate a new tool or application, or having the feeling that it is different from what you expected? I often do. It is a great feeling when you find a system or application that is easy to use. ▼learningBOX is an LMS that focuses on ease of use and low cost. LearningBOX is designed to be intuitive and easy to operate without manuals, so that administrators creating e-learning materials do not feel stressed when using it. ▼learningBOX also allows you to sell the content you create through EC!

Current and Future Trends in the E-Learning Market in 2021 Hello, everyone. This is the Tokyo team of Tatsuno Information Systems. The year 2020 was marked by sad news due to the spread of the new coronavirus. I don't think anyone expected such an era to come. Many companies have made a turnaround from the traditional way of working and shifted to remote work from the perspective of infection control. It was also a year of diversity in working styles, with people moving away from Tokyo and changing their lifestyles. More educational institutions such as high schools and universities introduced online classes using e-learning instead of face-to-face classes. The rapid spread of remote work and online learning is forcing major changes throughout society. E-learning is gradually becoming a familiar part of our lives. So how is e-learning changing? We have researched the results of a survey on the changing market. Click here to see the table of contents 1. Current status and future trends of the e-learning market in 2021 2. Changes in BtoB and BtoC 3. e-Learning will be increasingly used in 2021 4.

The global enterprise e-learning market is segmented by "by training, by end-user, by technology (mobile e-learning, learning content management system (LCMS), virtual classroom, web-based, podcast, learning management system (LMS), and others) and by region" and the global The e-learning market is expected to witness a significant CAGR during the forecast period 2020-2027. (Reference: Kenneth Research) Global Enterprise E-Learning Market The global eLearning market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 131 TP2T to reach US$93.64 billion between 2020 and 2024. Growth in this market is expected to be fueled by increased student engagement in the classroom through gamification and increased adoption of microlearning. Regional analysis is considered for key regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America is the leading/important region globally in terms of market share due to the region's advanced technology infrastructure coupled with the availability of high-speed Internet connectivity. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is also expected to exhibit the highest growth rate/ CAGR over the forecast period of 2020-2027. According to Eurostat, the total value of the European ICT sector, including ICT manufacturing and ICT services, is estimated to exceed €475 billion in 2017. ICT services consist of computer programming, consulting, and related activities, which accounted for about 49.1% share in 2017 while telecommunications activities accounted for about 30.3% share in this segment. These factors are estimated to have a positive impact on market growth in the coming years. Changes in BtoB and BtoC The e-learning market size in FY 2019 continues to expand steadily with a steady increase in the number of users and diversification of services offered. In BtoB, the market will gain momentum from the revitalization of corporate investment in human resource development. In FY2019, the size of the domestic e-learning market is expected to increase 7.7% year-on-year to ¥235.4 billion. The breakdown is 68.4 billion yen (+5.2% YoY) for the BtoB market for corporations (including individuals within companies and organizations) and 167 billion yen (+8.8% YoY) for the BtoC market for individuals, and both markets are expected to continue expanding. Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market In the BtoB market, e-learning has penetrated more industries and companies than ever before due to the diversification of learning tools with the popularization of smartphones and tablet devices, the evolution of video content, and the ease of use of e-learning due to the development of cloud environments, combined with the revitalization of corporate human resource development needs. e-Learning has penetrated more industries and companies than ever before. Steady sales growth in the BtoC market The size of the domestic e-learning market in FY2020 is forecast to increase 4.5% over the previous year to 246 billion yen. In the current fiscal year, both BtoB and BtoC markets are expected to see an increase in the number of e-learning users as the impact of the new coronavirus infection increases demand for distance learning. Source: Yano Research Institute|from a survey on the domestic e-learning market The BtoC market will see a steady increase in the number of users and the generalization of e-learning as a form of personal learning, due to the penetration of learning styles utilizing smartphones, tablets, and SNS, the evolution of services provided by improved information communication technology, and the emergence of learning services using AI (Artificial Intelligence). The number of users is steadily increasing, and the environment is progressing to generalize e-learning as one of the forms of personal learning. Both the BtoB and BtoC markets are expected to continue to expand in the future. E-learning will be used more and more in 2021 E-learning, which makes full use of multimedia materials such as video and audio as well as text and slides, has many application scenarios. E-learning is a form of learning that is still evolving, and it is also a field in which new methods of utilization are being tested. E-learning has the potential to provide "optimal learning for each student," which has been an issue in traditional schools. Obtaining qualifications through e-learning By offering national qualifications, private courses, and certification exams as e-learning, even busy businesspeople can make effective use of their spare time to study, and they can repeat difficult-to-understand sections as many times as they like in their own time. Many of the certification exams and courses that used to require attending lectures at certification schools are now offered through e-learning. Language Learning with e-Learning As with certification acquisition, learning a foreign language used to be done by making an appointment and attending a school. However, as with the acquisition of qualifications, this also had the disadvantage that it was difficult for working people with jobs to continue attending school, and one-on-one lessons, which enhance the learning effect, are expensive. For language acquisition, where continuous learning is important, online learning through e-learning is expected to become the mainstream in the future. Human Resource Development through e-Learning The conventional learning style, including schools, is based on group learning, where participants gather at a predetermined time and place, and the same is true for corporate employee training. Corporate training is not always held like a school. Preparation and costs for new employees and in-house training tend to be high, and it is difficult to manage the learning progress of each participant. To solve these problems, e-learning is attracting attention from companies. E-learning is ideal for corporate employee training, as it allows employees to learn in their spare time without putting pressure on work hours, and the progress can be easily monitored by managers. In addition to having employees take in-house training courses related to business skills, management, and sales, some companies have established their own learning management systems to optimize employee education with original content. ▼ The features of e-learning can be briefly summarized as follows 1. The same quality of education can be provided to a large number of trainees. 2. Optimal education can be provided according to the learning progress of each participant. 3. Significantly reduce the cost of education. 4. Keep the educational content up-to-date. Let's create "training, examinations, and correspondence courses" with learningBOX! learningBOX is an e-learning creation system that focuses on "ease of use" and "low cost. It is an LMS with all the functions necessary for e-learning, including the creation of teaching materials, questions and tests, and grading and grade management. What has changed since we started using ▼learningBOX? Improvements! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about e-learning implementation. Introduction support online meetings are also available. Conclusion In this article, we introduced the current status and future trends of the e-learning market in 2021. Today, when information from all over the world can be obtained in an instant through the Internet, it can be said that the globalization of not only the economy but also all "things" and "matters" is accelerating. The reason why more and more companies are focusing on strategic human resource development is to respond quickly to the changes brought about by globalization, and e-learning is the best solution to achieve this. On the other hand, children and students who will have to cope with the drastic changes brought about by globalization also need to develop the ability to think independently and acquire the ability to respond and adapt in a short period of time. The best solution for this is e-learning and adaptive learning.

The grade management notification e-mail will show the start date and time of the study, the status (grade) of the study, and other information. Previously, grade management notification e-mails to students only displayed information such as the name of the course materials, but starting with Ver. 2.13, the start date and time of study, study status (grades), and test results (pass/fail) will also be displayed.

The actual pass/fail is displayed. The footer template will be set to a default value. The default footer template will be set in the common item template with the template name default_footer and is ready to use without configuration. The default_footer footer template is editable, but you cannot rename it or delete the template. Changes to this footer template will be reflected as a footer in all default email templates. It can also be inserted into customized mail templates as a {default_footer} label. For customers who have already changed their default email template *The automatic registration of multiple customized email templates for invitation and grade management notifications is only available for new owners who have started using learningBOX for the first time after Ver. 2.13. This does not apply to existing administrators, as there may be some administrators for whom automatic registration is not convenient. Therefore, if you would like to add more types of new email templates, you will need to add them yourself in the system. Detailed specifications We plan to introduce a page on how to use this feature when 2.13 is released, and will announce the scheduled upgrade date of 2.13 as soon as it is finalized.
