Click here for the table of contents. What is EdTech? 2. the beginning of EdTech 3. what is learningBOX? 4. summary What is EdTech? EdTech" is written and read as "EdTech." (When I first saw it, I read it as "edtech.") This term was coined by combining the words "Education" and "Technology. It refers to new education and learning using digital technology and the apps and services that provide it. In Japan, it began to be searched for around 2012 and has been attracting more and more attention in recent years. (Reference: Google Trends) There are many other such "00Tech" terms. For example, "FinTech" is a word often seen on TV and in magazines. For example, household account bookkeeping apps are well-known. Another commonly heard term is "HR Tech," which is a combination of the words "Human Resources" and "Technology. These industry names followed by "tech" are collectively referred to as "X-Tech (X-Tech or Cross-Tech). And when you get down to the meaning of the word "EdTech," you will find that (to put it in a very cool way) EdTech" means "to revolutionize the way educational services are provided through technology. Now, what comes to mind when you think of "EdTech"? What comes to mind, for example, is "e-learning. What is e-learning? E-learning is a form of learning that uses the Internet.

The U.S. is a large country, and many companies are expanding globally, not only domestically, so there are limits to the amount of employee training and human resource development that can be conducted through group training. As a result, along with the spread of the Internet, e-learning and EdTech services evolved as a means of corporate human resource development. The services also became increasingly popular as a means of closing the education gap. ▼ Evolving EdTech services in the U.S. [e-Learning around the world]. Evolving EdTech Services in the U.S. [eLearning Around the World]. Educational innovations that began with EdTech have also spawned trends such as "STEM education. ▼ What is STEM education? In addition, EdTech services are now being created not only in the U.S. but also around the world in terms of educational disparities. Many EdTech IT ventures have emerged, especially in developing countries where there is a large educational gap and where the use of smartphones is rapidly increasing. ICT in Education in Japan Unfortunately, Japan lags behind other developed countries in ICT in education. Although the introduction of programming education in elementary schools has been attracting attention, ICT equipment, which is also the tool for such education, has not been well developed. There are many issues that need to be addressed in order to promote ICT in education, such as budgetary issues for the development of the environment and the structure for teaching.

According to "What is Gamification?　-A Comparison with Design History". If one were to give a positive definition of the term, it would be "the addition of game-like elements to an already existing object. Although often translated as "gamification," that is almost always a mistranslation, since gamification is not the creation of the game itself. (omission) In other words, it is a movement to incorporate elements of "games" into industrial products and various everyday activities, rather than making them into "games" themselves. Source: What is gamification?　-From a Comparison with the History of Design In other words, it means to add an extra game-like element to a service or product. For example, a "point system" or "level-based rewards" in a membership service are examples of game-like elements. Why is it necessary to incorporate gamification? Let's find out how gamification came into being and why we need to incorporate it! History and Purpose of Gamification Gamification began to attract the world's attention around 2011, and the birth of the term can be traced back to the birth of a new word "gamification" for a very old idea. According to "What is Gamification?　-A Comparison with the History of Design", the prehistory of gamification is Gamification is an attempt to encourage the "active participation" of learners in learning. This attempt is very old, and the realization that the learner's spontaneity is important in learning itself can be found even in the Analects of Confucius. (The study of spontaneous learning itself continues to be an extremely important issue in the fields of educational psychology, learning psychology, and gaming simulation research. Cited from: What is Gamification?　-From a Comparison with the History of Design as. In other words, as a prehistory of gamification, we can see that various studies have been approaching gamification to encourage spontaneous and active participation of learners. I believe that "motivation" and "self-efficacy" are related to spontaneous learning and active participation, but the details would be very lengthy, so I would like to introduce them at another time. To summarize the definition of gamification and the pre-history of gamification up to this point, the purpose of incorporating gamification can be described as "to encourage users to participate voluntarily or actively by adding an extra game-like element to a service or product". The purpose of gamification can be expressed as "to encourage users to participate spontaneously or actively by adding an extra game element to a service or product. Gamification and e-Learning As mentioned above, learning and gamification are a combination that has long been attracting attention, and the e-learning environment is no exception.

Hello! My name is Shiraki, and I'm in charge of Human Resources! Recently, our air conditioner broke down and we are enduring the cold... I hope you all are aware of sudden breakdowns! In this article, I would like to write about "power harassment" which has been widely covered in news and newspapers, and the benefits of introducing e-learning training to prevent power harassment. Thank you very much for your kind attention. Click here for Table of Contents 1. "Power harassment" is on the rise 2. what is "power harassment" in the first place? 3.

If you neglect training on measures against power harassment, there are risks such as the following... 5. 5. e-Learning can raise the level of knowledge on harassment to a certain level 6. summary Power harassment" is on the rise. The number of consultations regarding power harassment among the inquiries at the consultation corners set up at prefectural labor bureaus has been increasing year by year. In addition to the increase in the number of power harassment consultations, the number of cases of depression and other mental disorders caused by bullying and violence in the workplace and compensated for by workers' compensation is also increasing. Reference (Increasing Power Harassment) The following cases have actually occurred Click here to see the power harassment victims in 2019. Toyota employee commits suicide due to power harassment, develops adjustment disorder, and receives workers' compensation (11/19/2019) The director general of the Education Bureau played betting games at a government building (11/18/2019) Director General of the Bureau of Education takes a pay cut for "power harassment"(11/15/2019) ...Power harassment by a colleague...Kawagoe City Council member seeks action(11/7/2019) References (Harassment-related news) Individual labor disputes are also increasing so much! Power harassment tops the list of most frequently consulted topics by employees Summary of Harassment Power harassment is the most common form of harassment. In a survey by Nippon Life Insurance, one out of two respondents said that harassment has occurred around them. According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's survey on "Occurrence of Power Harassment in Companies" (2016), 49.8% of all responding companies had actually received at least one consultation regarding power harassment in the past three years, and 36.3% of all responding companies had actually had a case of power harassment What is power harassment? The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare defines power harassment in the workplace as "acts that cause mental or physical pain or aggravate the work environment to those who work in the same workplace against the background of superiority in the workplace, such as job status or human relations, beyond the appropriate scope of work. Superiority in the workplace" includes not only job status, but also human relations, experience, expertise, and various other advantages. In other words, in addition to harassment between supervisor and subordinate, harassment between senior and junior employees, between colleagues, and even between subordinates and supervisors can also be considered as power harassment. Even if you think you have a vague understanding of the term, when you actually look into it, you will find that the definition of what constitutes power harassment is vague, and the line between words and actions is often indeterminate, depending only on your personal judgment. It was difficult for me to understand everything about "power harassment. This time, I made a quiz on the contents related to power harassment using our e-learning program. How well do you understand power harassment? The quiz contains 5 questions in total. And since explanations are included, we hope you'll take this opportunity to take the quiz! You can take advantage of e-learning! By making the quiz, you can check the lack of knowledge and understanding of harassment, as well as any gaps in perception. By visualizing the learner's performance data, you can analyze the level of knowledge and understanding of harassment within your company. Passing scores for the quiz can also be set arbitrarily, so you can raise the knowledge level of the entire company by raising the passing standard! Does your company/organization provide training to prevent power harassment? The results show that more than 80% of companies feel the importance of anti-harassment measures. While 80% of companies are aware of the problem, only just over 50% are actually taking steps to address it. Furthermore, this breakdown varies depending on the size of the company: for companies with more than 1,000 employees, the percentage is just under 90%, and as the number of employees decreases, the percentage decreases to less than 30% for companies with less than 100 employees. While large companies are taking firm measures to deal with this problem, small and medium-sized companies seem to be aware of the problem, but are unable to take action because the person in charge is often juggling various other duties. Neglecting to provide training in anti-harassment measures can lead to the following risks. Social risks such as compensation issues In some cases, companies have been required to pay tens of millions of yen in compensation in lawsuits due to harassment. The risk of neglecting harassment can lead to serious risks such as damage to the company's image due to compensation issues. Decrease in business efficiency and productivity Lack of employee motivation, deterioration of workplace atmosphere, and mental health problems caused by internal bullying and harassment can lead to a decline in business efficiency and productivity. Outflow of excellent human resources Deterioration of internal atmosphere and business performance due to harassment causes outflow of excellent human resources to other companies. We have learned that anti-harassment training is very important for the growth and development of a company.
