Typing Practice Now Available Through E-Learning Training! Long-sleeved cardigans are now a necessity instead of parasols. Hello! Nice to meet you, I am Kuroda from the Quality Control Department. This is my first article duty. The subject this time is "Feature Typing Materials"! Have you ever heard of "typing materials" that are included in the contents function of learningBOX? In addition to memorizing cards and creating questions, learningBOX also offers "typing materials" that allow you to practice typing as an e-learning training program. In this article, we will introduce how to create, use, and utilize "typing materials". Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation. Table of Contents What are typing materials? 2. how to make typing materials Let's try typing text using typing materials 4. how to use it in your company 5. summary What are typing materials? Typing materials are learning contents that can be created from the content management function of learningBOX, which allows you to "input text using the keyboard. How to create typing materials Please log in to learningBOX and go to Content Management, Typing Materials ▷"Create Typing Materials". Enter the title, text, and reading style into the typing material creation form, and if there are no problems, click "Save and publish" in the upper right corner. When the form appears, follow the input boxes to set the "Text" (i.e., the question text) and "Yomikata" (i.e., the characters to be input). Hiragana, katakana, and numbers can be used for "Yomikata". Please note that Kanji, English, symbols ("", ", "), etc. cannot be used. Please note that you cannot use *For more information about the detailed settings of the typing materials, please refer to the page on how to use the typing materials. Let's try typing text using the typing materials! Good at typing! We have prepared typing materials created by our quality control. Take it to test your skills! Difficulty level The questions will be about 10 to 20 characters long. The test will be unexpected, so please be prepared for it! Passing score: 40 points How many characters can you type without typing mistakes? This is a difficult typing test that even our staff had a hard time passing! Please click on the PC monitor screen below and you will see the message "Please press the SPACE key when you are ready" and start from there! Let's typing! Please use the sample below on a PC. Not available for smartphones and tablets Thank you for your time. Now, how many points did you get for the above materials? Did you get a passing "Daruma-chan"? I created it, was it interesting? What I created was "interesting! I want to solve it again! I would be very happy if you think "It was fun! How to use within the company We distribute e-learning learning using typing materials within our company as a recreational activity. By designing courses in learningBOX, any learning material, not just typing materials, can be studied in a set order. I finally got my certificate! I worked hard every day and passed! Effectiveness and Expectations of Typing Materials I think there are many people who are not good at typing, although they don't say it out loud. They want to type quickly and accurately, but they tend to type while looking at the keyboard. They want to type quickly and accurately, but they tend to look at the keyboard while typing. I want to type quickly and accurately, but I always end up looking at the keyboard while typing.　　　　　　　　I think everyone has his or her own problems. Advantages of improved typing Reduction in typing speed and spelling errors will reduce the amount of time spent on office work. Increased work efficiency You will be able to notice typing errors more quickly. You will be able to work with confidence as you become less computer illiterate. Typing is a seemingly simple task of "just typing on the keyboard. However, our brains accurately determine the meaning and content of words, and work in and out instantly. Keyboarding quickly and accurately based on the information processed is a more complex act than one might think. To perform this task efficiently, quickly, and accurately, daily repetitive practice is the fastest way to improve your typing. Conclusion What do you think of "typing materials" that allow you to practice typing as an e-learning training program? We hope you have been able to experience the fun of typing through hands-on experience. Although typing speed and accuracy cannot be dramatically improved in a day or two, acquiring the skill to type accurately will give you the skills you need in your company, such as improving the efficiency of your office work. Dear company training staff reading this article! If any of the following apply to you, please consider implementing learningBOX! There are too many misspellings and omissions in the text typed by employees. Recent new employees are good at using smartphones, but slow at typing on PCs. It takes time to check for errors in contract documents prepared by subordinates. Please try learningBOX for an e-learning typing practice tool that you can enjoy using your mind and body. Thank you for taking the time to read this article.

I am Nishimura and I started to create QuizGenerator in 2011. I am not able to update it, but there was a time when I was a certified SCORM Assessor, so I kind of understand SCORM. QuizGenerator is useful, but it has its limitations. QuizGenerator is a SCORM-compliant e-learning tool that allows you to create a variety of exercises, tests, and quizzes without having to worry about SCORM, but it still has its limitations. If you are a strong web programmer, you can implement SCORM relatively easily by referring to the article "Let's make SCORM materials". However, if you are a web programmer, it is relatively easy to implement SCORM. However, if you can do web design, but not programming, or if you can program a little, but learning SCORM is too much of a hassle, it may be too much of a burden for you. For those people, we recommend the SCORM Wrapper. The SCORM Wrapper makes it easy to create SCORM-compliant teaching materials. I have never heard of SCORM Wrapper. You're probably right. The name of our development code, or rather the name of our internal system, is SCORM Wrapper, but there is no mention of it in the learningBOX or on the instruction page. The reason why it is not mentioned is that the name "SCORM Wrapper" is not easy to convey to customers for marketing reasons. From a developer's point of view, the SCORM Wrapper is a tool to wrap web forms and bring SCORM APIs to life, so it is nothing more than a SCORM Wrapper. However, since we are not proposing any use beyond the questionnaire at present, it has been spoiled as a questionnaire. In any case, the questionnaire material is a SCORM Wrapper, which means that it can be used to create more than a questionnaire. What is the SCORM Wrapper? The SCORM Wrapper is, simply put, a dream tool for making web forms SCORM-compliant. Schematically, the SCORM Wrapper analyzes the contents of a web form, finds the INPUT tags, SELECT tags, TEXTAREA tags, etc., and submits the results according to the SCORM standard. Elements that the SCORM Wrapper targets for submission The SCORM Wrapper does not actually need FORM tags, although we have mentioned that the SCORM Wrapper will send the value of any of the following HTML elements, both inside and outside of a FORM, for which the name attribute is specified. input[type=text]. input[type=number] input[type=password]. input[type=date] input[type=month input[type=month]. input[type=email]. input[type=hidden]. input[type=radio]. input[type=check]. textarea select Sending grades according to the name attribute Grades are sent according to the name attribute. For example, if there is a tag , the value entered there will be sent as q1. In practice, the value of the name attribute is setValue for cmi.interactions.n.id. Behavior when a special value is entered for name If you put a special value in name, it has a special meaning. Names ending in _result If you give a name ending in _result, it will be sent as the result of the field without the _result. For example, if there is a field named "answer1" and you have a response entered there, the field named "answer1_result" will be treated as a result for answer1. The result can be set to "correct", "strong", "unanticipated", "neutral", or "decimal", and corresponds to cmi.interactions.n.result as a SCORM element. __score__. A value representing the score. in SCORM 1.2, the rule is to specify an integer from 0-100, but learningBOX also accepts values greater than 100. Decimals are not allowed. __lesson_status__. Indicates pass/fail and progress. Please set the appropriate value from the following four values. If not set, completed will be sent. incomplete: learning is in progress completed: study completed (default value) passed: passed failed: failed __duration__. Represents the training time. If this element is not present, SCORMWrapper will send the measured value. If you think the time measured by SCORMWrapper is not accurate enough, pass the elapsed time in integer seconds to __duration__. SCORMWrapper's automatic measurement is taken from the moment the material is The time from the moment the material is loaded to the moment the grades are sent is measured. If you have a start button in the material and want to measure the exact time between pressing it and answering the last question, you can implement a time measurement function and record the exact value by putting the measurement result in __duration__. __suspend_data__. This element is used to save the values at the end of the training and reuse them the next time they are loaded. In a forthcoming update, all fields will be able to retain values across sessions, but the data storage feature of __suspend_data__ and the data storage feature implemented for all fields will be exclusive. However, it is expected that the data storage function of __suspend_data__ and the data storage function to be implemented in all fields will be exclusive. Submit Button The submit button should be . id="submit" is very important. SCORMWrapper will recognize buttons with this ID as submit buttons. Example of teaching material (1) -- 50 questions of SecuManagement I made questions for the Information Security Management Examination 2009. However, please don't take this too seriously, as it was written in dirty code using jQuery about two years ago. Even though it is a dirty code, it is easy to make a SCORM-compliant 4-choice question with such a simple code. Just put the choices in the q001~q050 radios, the right/wrong in the q001_result~q050_result hidden fields, the score in the __score__, the pass/fail in the __lesson_status__, and the rest is SCORM Wrapper will send the data according to the SCORM standard. The correct answer data is in lines 30 to 34, and the choices are in lines 15 to 18, but the number of items can be increased or decreased, and the choices can be changed to 1, 2, or 3. It should work fine if you increase or decrease the number of items, or change the choices to 1, 2, 3, etc. You may also create other subjects in this way and use them in your company! (If there are many requests, we will make it easy to create them within learningBOX! (Personally, I would like to make an improved version of this, so I would be happy to receive feedback on how I can easily create teaching materials similar to this) Code (available on Gist) Learning Screen The learning screen is as follows. Each radio button is assigned a name from q001 to q004, and the values a, b, c, and e are set to a, b, c, and e, respectively. When the submit button is pressed, the submit() function is called to perform the grading, and then the grades are sent. Result Display Screen The result display screen looks like the following. Pass/fail and score are passed using the __lesson_status__ and __score__ fields, respectively. The time required was sent automatically by SCORMWrapper. For each question, how it was answered and the correct or incorrect answer are also recorded. Example of use in learningBOX Three types of learningBOX materials, questionnaires, web pages, and bug-eating, are actually built on top of SCORMWrapper. Questionnaire This is the use that SCORMWrapper has been envisioned for from the beginning: With SCORMWrapper, you can easily create questionnaires. Certainly, it is easier than implementing SCORM yourself. But we couldn't easily get to the point where it was easy for everyone, so we developed the survey creation form as a function to create a web form. By the way, when you download the questionnaire you created within learningBOX, a ZIP file will fall out, which contains two files: form.html and config.json. The former is the survey form itself, and the latter is metadata representing the structure of the survey form. With the latter data, the downloaded questionnaire can be re-edited on learningBOX even after it has been re-uploaded. Conversely, if config.json is removed, learningBOX will not edit form.html. If you want to rewrite form.html to make it look better, we recommend uploading it without config.json. Web page Web page type materials are implemented on SCORMWrapper. SCORMWrapper functions are used for sending study time and lesson_status. Worm-eaten notebooks Worm-eaten notebooks are also implemented on top of SCORMWrapper. SCORMWrapper is used to send study_time and lesson_status. This is where Mr. M implemented the SCORMWrapper, but in writing this article, I checked the implementation for the first time. How to use the SCORM Wrapper Currently, LearningBOX does not have a teaching material item called SCORM Wrapper. If you have carefully read the text so far, you may have noticed that you can use the SCORM Wrapper by uploading it as a survey material. Click on the following link to open the ZIP file and upload the sg.html file as the survey material! Secumane's past survey materials: sg.zip Upload Location Summary I have written about the SCORM Wrapper and its potential is great. On the other hand, it cannot be said that the SCORM Wrapper has been fully utilized because we have not communicated enough about it or proposed enough applications for it. We hope that this article has given you a sense of what the SCORM Wrapper is and what it can be used for. To summarize in one line... SCORMWrapper is a system that allows you to create SCORM educational materials just by writing web forms.

Hello! I'm Kadota from the Systems Development Department! Our office moved on September 2, 2019! With that, I started to commute by bicycle. For all of you who don't get enough exercise, I highly recommend biking to work! Well, this time I wrote an article on the grand theme of "Study". Please take a look! Before we get to the blog, let me make an announcement about an upcoming exhibition this coming September 25 (Wed)-27 (Fri)! We will be exhibiting at Educational IT Solutions (Kansai EDIX) at Intex Osaka, September 25 (Wed)-27 (Fri), 2019! ▼For more information, click here. We are now steadily making preparations! We are planning to hold mini-seminars and other events on the day of the event. We will also have an opportunity to explain actual demo operations directly from our staff, so please come to the event! We are also accepting applications for invitation tickets, so if you are interested, please check out the 3rd 【KANSAI】Education IT Solution EXPO in INTEX Osaka. Our staff is looking forward to seeing you there! Now back to the blog! Click here for the Table of Contents 1. think again. What is studying? 2. what is studying for? 3. Studying is a luxury! 4. there are countless ways to study 5. Conclusion Think again. What is study? Study is important." No one can disagree with this, can they? In today's age of 100 years of life and rapid changes, it is necessary to continue studying even as an adult. So, what is "study" in the first place? I have thought about it again. According to "Kojien" (6th edition) To devote oneself diligently to something. (2) To study or learn a subject or skill. (3) To learn by gaining various experiences. (3) To sell products at a reasonable price. (3) To sell products at a reasonable price. (iii) To sell goods at a reasonable price. The following is the list. Three kinds of meanings have been mentioned, but I would like to talk about (1) and (2) this time. First, let's talk about (1) "To work hard with all one's might". Simply put, this means "to work hard. Secondly, 1) "to work hard" means simply "to work hard". (2) To learn about studies and techniques. To learn by gaining various experiences. To do mathematics. This is the image of "going to school," "learning a lesson," or "a new employee learning a job. Both meanings have the same sense as we usually use. What is it that you study for? Why do you have to study?" Everyone has probably wondered this at least once, haven't they? For children and students, the most likely reasons are "because I will have trouble when I grow up," "for higher education," or "because I won't be able to get a job if I don't study. For adults, there are "because I need it for work," "to get a qualification," and so on. Other reasons include "to fulfill my dreams" and "to enjoy my hobbies more. The above reasons, although worded differently, have one thing in common. It is "to grow up better than I am now and lead a better and more enjoyable life. When you are a child, you will often be reasoned with by adults rather than by your own will. On the other hand, those who are able to continue their studies as adults probably have many spontaneous reasons. (It's hard to do that when people tell you to, isn't it?) There are also many seniors who remain curious and challenge various things even as they get older. When you think about it this way, the more spontaneous the study, the more positive and wonderful the reasons are. Studying is a luxury! Now to the title, don't you think it is a great blessing to be in a situation or environment where you can study in the first place? As an extreme example, if we were at war or under attack by a natural disaster, we would not be able to study, would we? Philosophy developed in ancient Greece because the city of Athens had enormous power in the region and was at peace, meaning that they had too much time on their hands. (You've heard of Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, etc., right?) If the family was poor and had no food to eat, the situation might be like, "Don't go to school, get to work! (You have heard of the Socratesses, the Aristoteles, etc., haven't you? In Japan during the period of rapid economic growth immediately after World War II, workers who had graduated from junior high school were called "golden eggs," and this was the norm. Later, with Japan's economic growth, the high school & college enrollment rate has been steadily increasing. Today, one might think that "going to cram school" or "going to high school" is a matter of course, but of course there is a cost involved. Usually, students go to school with money that their parents worked hard for, but it is not a cheap price. According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's 2008 survey of children's learning expenses According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's survey of children's learning expenses, the annual cost of attending a public high school (full-time) is approximately 451,000 yen. Based on the above, we can say that being able to study is a very blessed and luxurious thing. Nowadays, there are countless ways to study. Studying is such a luxury, but today, there are many ways to study, not only by going to school. However, it is difficult for busy professionals to attend classes after work. So, is there any better means? One way to make good use of this is to use "e-learning. With the spread of personal computers, smartphones, and tablets, e-learning has become much easier to use than before. With e-learning, you can study efficiently in your spare time, such as when you are waiting for a train, or when you are traveling by train. And of course, our learning management system "learningBOX" is one of the "e-learning" services. It can be used by individuals, of course, but it can also be used for corporate training programs and tutoring schools to distribute materials to a large number of people, and it can also be used for student management and grade management. What's more, "learningBOX" can be tried free of charge. We hope that you will create an account to try it out and make use of it to improve your studies and skills. Click here to register Summary Have you thought about the idea of studying? Being able to study is a blessing. I hope you will make use of our e-learning system "learningBOX" to help you grow as much as possible. And, "I want my employees and staff to grow and have a better, more enjoyable life! If you are in charge of training and human resources at a company that wants to make your employees and staff grow and have a better, more enjoyable life! To those in charge of education! LearningBOX" is available at a price range that is easy to implement, even for companies that have felt that e-learning systems are too expensive and difficult to implement! We also offer a free plan that allows you to use the system for free and indefinitely. Please take this opportunity to register. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

What is moodle, an open source for e-learning? Hello everyone, this is Ueda from CS. August seems to be ending in a flash, and soon it will be September. I just hope the heat will pass soon! Well, this time, I would like to talk briefly about the open source for e-learning, moodle. Before I begin, I would like to explain "open source". Open source refers to the idea that source code, which is a computer program written in a programming language that is easy for humans to understand, should be made widely available to the public so that anyone can freely handle it. It also refers to software released based on such an idea. ➡Quoted from IT Dictionary Advantages and Disadvantages of moodle There are several open source versions of LMS, but in this article, we will compare the advantages and disadvantages of moodle, which has a relatively large number of users. As for advantages, the biggest feature is that it is free of charge. Therefore, the cost at the time of introduction can be reduced. And it can be customized to any specification with a high degree of freedom. Also, based on the GPL license, users are free to download, modify, and further distribute it! One of the disadvantages of moodle is that you may not be able to secure a working environment if you use a rental server to install moodle, and if you install and operate your own server, you will need technical knowledge of servers. In addition, maintenance costs may be high in the event of problems due to the lack of a complete support system. Creating and setting up materials is also often considered difficult. Learn more about moodle eLearning - About open source moodle About our service LMS learningBOX Our service, learningBOX, is a cloud-based LMS that, unlike open source LMSs such as moodle, does not require in-house system configuration. LearningBOX is easy to use, and one of its strengths is that even those who are new to e-learning can operate it easily. 10 accounts can be used free of charge regardless of the expiration date, so you can try out almost all the functions before full-scale implementation. You can also use 11 to 100 accounts for as little as 30,000 yen per year! See more details about our pricing plans. The system is fully functional and easy to operate, including the creation and management of content, group management of members, and storage of results management. There are 12 types of contents that can be created and uploaded, including quizzes, tests, memorization cards, PDFs, videos, questionnaires, and reports. If you have any questions about implementing an LMS, we'd love to hear from you! We would be happy if you could try our free plan. Our CS team will do their best to support you before and after implementation! Conclusion What did you think? There are different types of e-learning systems. There are also many different types of e-learning systems. Each system has its own merits and demerits, and the system that best fits your needs will depend on how you operate your system. We hope this information will be helpful to those who are considering the introduction of a new system. Please find the best system for you. We are pleased to announce that we will be holding an exhibition at our booth. ▼ We will exhibit at the 3rd [Kansai] Educational IT Solution EXPO in Intex Osaka from September 25(Wed) to 27(Fri), 2019!

About the video capacity of the Standard Plan This is Kinoshita, CS introduction support staff. It's almost the long-awaited Obon vacation! Have you made your Obon vacation plans yet? There will be swimming, barbecues, firework festivals, and lots of other fun things! My plan for the Bon vacation is to study for a certain amount of time every morning for the Basic Information Technology Engineer exam. My plan for Obon is to study for a certain amount of time every morning for the Basic Information Technology Engineer exam. Let's keep moving forward every day toward our goals! This time's story This article is a summary of the questions we often receive from our customers about the capacity of the video materials in the Standard Plan. The advantage of video materials is that they can express content and nuances that words alone simply cannot convey. Our Standard Plan allows for a lot of video material! We recommend this plan to customers who are considering video learning as their main focus. However, there is one thing you need to be aware of. Video materials cannot be uploaded without limitation. So, how much video can I upload? Click here for Table of Contents 1. frequently asked questions: how many uploads can I upload? 2. frequently asked questions: What is the upload limit per upload? 3. what happens in such cases? When the size of your video exceeds 500 MB 4. summary FAQ: How many videos can I upload? The Standard Plan allows you to use 100GB of total capacity with a 100-account contract. For those who may not be familiar with the term "100GB," here is an explanation of the data capacity related to videos. In the case of Standard Plan Maximum upload limit of 500MB of video material 1GB = approx. 1000MB 100GB = approx. 100,000MB (overall) 100,000MB ÷ 500MB (upper limit per video) = 200 videos *If you are uploading video materials only, you can upload as many as 200 videos with a 100-account contract. (However, the overall capacity is cumulative, including the amount of grade data other than teaching materials.) FAQ: What is the upload limit per video? So, how many minutes of video can be uploaded with 500MB of video? As it turns out, we cannot answer how many minutes of video you can upload, as it depends on the video material! When judging the capacity of a video, it is not wrong to say that the playback time has an impact, but there is a number that has a bigger impact. The quality of the video, such as image and sound quality (bit rate), has a significant impact. (→ What is bitrate?) Simply put, a video with a high bit rate = a video with high image and sound quality → in other words, a video with a large capacity. *When uploading videos that may be large in size (corresponding to 500 MB or less), the original video must be divided and uploaded with a shorter playback time per video. But don't worry, there is a way to handle this! The following is an explanation of how to deal with this problem. What to do in such a case? When the size of the video exceeds 500 MB Some customers may ask, "What should I do if the maximum upload size per video exceeds 500 MB?" Some customers may have questions such as, "What should I do if some of my videos exceed the 500 MB upload limit per material? There are two solutions to this question. 1. consider microlearning (although the video materials may not be microlearning-ready in the first place) Microlearning is a style of learning in which students can easily learn materials with short learning time at a time using mobile devices. For example, let's break down volume teaching materials such as "Arithmetic" into categories such as "Addition," "Subtraction," "Multiplication," "Division," etc., or into chapters to create teaching materials. Given a video called "Arithmetic," a teaching material, we say that it should be broken down into smaller pieces such as "Addition," "Subtraction," "Multiplication," "Division," etc. (3 to 10 minutes), which have shorter learning time. In this way, the video capacity can be reduced. In addition, there are three advantages to microlearning. If you are interested, please refer to this article as well. Learning in Your Skim Time [Microlearning]. 2. video compression A video, even one or two hours long, can be reduced to 500 MB if properly compressed. Compression means adjusting the video to an appropriate quality, as excessive quality will unnecessarily increase the size of the video. Therefore, we have prepared a tool that allows anyone to easily compress videos. No special settings are required, and the tool can be downloaded and used immediately. Please click here for more details. The easiest way to pre-compress video materials Summary In this issue, we have briefly explained the number of videos that can be uploaded and the upload capacity limit for the Standard Plan. When using video materials, the quality of the video and the sound quality of the video will also have a significant impact on the capacity. Please be careful when uploading video materials. Thank you for taking the time to read this article.

E-Learning Learning with Memorization Cards This is Kitaoka, our marketing manager 🍎. It's almost August! Lately, when I walk outside, the sound of cicadas seems to be louder and more lively than usual. It's almost time for a full-blown hot summer! In my hometown of Aomori, the average temperature in August is 23.3 degrees Celsius (based on data from the Japan Meteorological Agency). It is very different from here in Kansai. Now, I'd like to put aside my ramblings and talk about e-learning learning methods using memorization cards. I hope you will continue to read this article with me. Now, let's get down to business!

Many people are considering introducing or switching to an e-learning system, but are unsure which one to choose because there are so many to choose from. In recent years, many e-learning systems have appeared on the market, with a wide range of features and fee structures. When comparing and examining the various services, the cost is of particular concern. In this issue, we will introduce the price of e-learning systems, which is the most important information for those in charge of human resources and training. We hope you will find this information useful when selecting an e-learning system. Table of Contents 01Types and Costs of e-Learning Systems Types of e-Learning Systems Prices of e-Learning Systems 02Points to compare e-Learning systems Functions Operability Support System Track record 03Cloud-based e-Learning Price Comparison Types of e-Learning Services Price comparison of 5 popular companies 04If you want to try an e-learning system, learningBOX is recommended 05Summary Types and Costs of E-Learning Systems E-learning systems vary widely in terms of the types they offer and their cost systems. Let's take a look at the types of e-learning systems and their costs. Types of e-Learning Systems There are two main types of e-learning systems: "on-premise" systems, which are built on a company's own servers, and "cloud" systems, which utilize a system built on a service provider's server. The development and construction costs for the on-premise type are said to be in the millions of yen range, and the cloud computing type is now becoming the mainstream. Pricing of e-Learning Systems Let's take a look at the cost of cloud-based e-learning systems. First, there is the initial cost, which often ranges from 0 yen to 200,000 yen. Recently, many services with an initial cost of 0 yen have appeared on the market, and this is a point to consider when making comparisons. In most cases, the cost of e-learning systems is based on a monthly or yearly fee structure, depending on the service offered by each company and the number of users. For example, the most common cost ranges from 30,000 yen to 60,000 yen per month for up to 100 users, and from 50,000 yen to 80,000 yen per month for 200 users. Calculated on a per user basis, that would be 250 yen to 600 yen per month. Back to Table of Contents Points to Consider When Comparing E-Learning Systems While cost is important when comparing e-learning systems, there are several other points to keep in mind. Let's review them in turn. Functions Although it depends on the purpose of introduction, if you want to use the system for training new employees, you will need a function that allows progress management and a communication function such as a chat function that allows you to easily ask questions. If you want to use it for compliance training, you should also check whether it has a notification e-mail function or a questionnaire function. By clarifying the purpose of introducing the system, you can identify what functions are necessary for your company. Operability If operations are complicated or difficult to understand, both the user and the administrator will be burdened, and this may cause a decrease in motivation. It is also important that the system is multi-device compatible so that it can be used with tablets and smartphones. Selecting a system that is easy to use, even for those who are not IT literate, will lower the hurdles to implementing an e-learning system. Support System It is very important to have sufficient support for any unclear points or problems that may arise during the implementation and operation of an e-learning system. It is also important to check what kind of support is included in the support package and how it is provided, such as by phone or e-mail. Track record As one of the indicators for comparison, you may refer to the "number of companies using the service" or "number of users" announced by each company. In some cases, actual case studies are introduced, so it will be easier to find the best service for your company if you refer to examples of companies in the same industry as yours or companies with similar issues. Back to Table of Contents Cloud-Based E-Learning Price Comparison Now that we have reviewed the points for comparing e-learning services, we will introduce the types and detailed costs of the cloud-based e-learning services that are currently the mainstream. We recommend that you compare the various types of e-learning services and choose the one that best fits your company. Types of e-Learning Services Cloud-based e-learning services can be divided into two main categories. One is the subscription type, where you pay a monthly fee to use pre-prepared training content, and the other is the type that provides only an LMS platform and uses your own original teaching materials. The subscription type costs around 500 yen to 1,500 yen per user, while the LMS platform-only type costs around 200 yen to 600 yen per user. Price Comparison of Five Popular Companies Let us compare the prices of actual e-learning system providers. Each company has different areas of expertise, so please use this as a reference to determine the best service for your company. *In case of using a standard plan (annual contract) Companies A and B are subscriber types, while companies C and D are LMS platform-only types. The EC function is a function to sell and manage the learning content created in the e-learning system. Back to Table of Contents If you want to try out an e-learning system, learningBOX is the place to go!

Learning in a short time [Microlearning]. Hello! I'm Kinoshita, a CS staff member who has recently started to prefer fish to meat. The theme of our first commemorative post is "microlearning," a current trend in learning. Click here to see the table of contents. 1. what is microlearning? 2. three advantages of microlearning 3. summary What is microlearning? Microlearning is a style of learning in which students casually use mobile devices to study material that is short in duration per session. Learning time is generally completed in 3 to 10 minutes. Conventional learning involves a learning volume of 30 minutes to an hour or more, and is generally done at home on a PC using a fixed amount of time. In contrast, with Microlearning, you can study during your commute to and from work or school, or in your spare time between housework and part-time jobs. This learning style is suitable for modern people who are busy in their daily lives and do not have a lot of time to spare. By the way, YouTube, which I love, is also a microlearning site. There are many video contents that can be replayed in 5 to 15 minutes, and it is the best entertainment you can enjoy in your skimming time (laugh). Three advantages of microlearning Learning in your spare time Microlearning is a short learning material (3 to 10 minutes), which allows you to study in your spare time, such as during travel, breaks, or between classes. Compared to learning that requires a large amount of time to complete, microlearning is an easy and convenient way to learn. Combined with mobile devices (M-learning), the advantage is that time and location constraints are eliminated. Making Learning a Habit The short learning time for each material lowers the hurdle to continue learning, and it is expected that students will develop a habit of learning through continuous learning. Using our learning management system, learningBOX, students can divide each unit of study into shorter units, allowing them to repeat specific units that they are interested in or that they have difficulty with. In addition, when used in combination with the grade management function, it is possible to analyze the tendency of each learner's weak areas. Easy creation and updating of teaching materials It takes a great deal of effort to create teaching materials that are about an hour in length, but in comparison, it is easier to create short teaching materials that are about 10 minutes in length. Furthermore, short materials are easier to update. For example, rather than a volume of material such as "taxation," material broken down into "consumption tax" can be updated more quickly when tax rates are changed. 3. Summary Microlearning is a current learning method suitable for today's society. There are three reasons for this: "learning in one's spare time," "making learning a habit," and "easy creation and updating of teaching materials. With the arrival of 5G communication technology, microlearning using mobile devices is expected to advance even further in the future. If you feel that you are facing challenges in promoting employee training or distance learning, we recommend that you incorporate a microlearning system.

E-Learning Learning for Use in Schools [Part 1 Long time no see! It's Kitaoka in charge of marketing🍎, and we are now entering the last week of June. The weather has been unstable nationwide, and many of you may be getting sick due to the extreme temperature differences in some areas. Hot summer is already upon us! Through learningBOX, we will continue to do our best to provide you, our readers, with e-learning learning that is useful for school education! If you are interested in e-learning, but are not sure how to use it in real situations, please refer to this article and let's think together about how to use e-learning and how to utilize it! Click here to see the table of contents 　　　　 ------[Part 1] This time! ------ 1. unpimping from examples 2. setting goals 3. create study materials 4. divide them by subject 　　　　 ------ [Part 2] ------ 5. learningBOX account registration 6. group settings 7. setting up grade management 8. summary Pimping from an Example Let's take "Taro Tatsuno," a middle school social studies teacher, as a hypothetical setting and consider e-learning learning that can be expected and utilized in the educational setting. In this paper, we will discuss teachers' problems and how they teach their students as exercises for e-Learning learning! Basic Information Taro Tatsuno: In charge of third grade social studies Taro Tatsuno's PC level Computer-related information is at the level of gathering information on the Internet. No programming knowledge, PC operation level to create documents using Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Taro Tatsuno's concerns 1) There is a lot of variation in scores from class to class. (2) It is practically difficult to provide learning guidance tailored to each individual student. (3) The majority of work time is consumed by creating materials for classes and tests (4) Parents have high expectations and pressure (5) Students' interest in social studies is low and their motivation for learning is low We believe that many teachers in the educational field have these problems. Many teachers are required to achieve results (grades) within a set time frame, and the workload of "duties and responsibilities" for each teacher is high, and I believe that many teachers suffer physically and mentally while performing their daily duties. In addition to teaching students to study, teachers have other non-work duties, school events, and relationships with parents, and they are often in a position, low-positioned and across-the-board. I think those who have club activities and class/grade responsibilities are even busier. Based on Taro Tatsuno's concerns, let's start e-learning learning together, using our learningBOX in action, how to create a learning environment that reduces the burden on teachers and increases students' study awareness through e-learning learning! Goal Setting Mission ①Improve students' knowledge and motivation to learn ②Propose and create study methods that match each student's level ③Reduce time spent on creating materials ④Gain the trust of schools and parents (5) To get students interested in social studies through e-learning study Let's immediately create a design with learningBOX that will satisfy the above conditions (1) to (5)! Let's create learning materials If you try to create learning materials based on the big word (concept) of social studies, the entry point is so wide that you will not know where to start. Let's create learning materials by narrowing the scope and genre, and then gradually broaden the scope of study and improve the quality of the content. Recommended Question Creation Procedure First, divide the material into sub-items, medium-sized items, and large items. When the number of questions in the sub-items increases, organize the information into groups or categories. When the number of middle items increases, divide the information into large items and complete the composition. Image Diagram Let's actually create teaching materials with learningBOX! Major Subjects: Social Studies Middle Subjects: (1) History, (2) Geography, (3) Civics...etc. Subtopics: (1)-1Japanese History, (2)-1Japanese Geography, (3)-1Structure of Japanese Society...etc. Here are the quizzes we made 10 questions about Japanese history → History questions 10 questions about Japanese geography → Geography questions 10 problems about Japanese society → problems of society Comprehensive questions → Comprehensive questions Test questions close to the real test → Test Click here to see the difference between Normal Mode and Master Mode. Features of learningBOX Easy to create questions with ①excel and text. We recommend the "Question Creation Form" for first-time users. 2) Multifunctional question format (3) Images and videos can be inserted. (4) URL links can be embedded in explanations (5) Optional functions allow you to create a test that is closer to the real test. The quiz creation function offers a wide variety of quiz types and functions. ▼Quiz creation features include a wide variety of quiz types and functions, as well as the ability to embed video clips. Separate by subject Organize the educational materials created above by folder. Learning control features to aid course design Prerequisites can be set by using the constraint bar in the Content feature. There are two types of constraints: answer or view all questions and materials above the constraint, or pass all questions and materials above the constraint. *This constraint bar allows the learner to follow the procedure efficiently. Limit the number of lessons to meet your objectives By setting a limit on the number of times a course can be taken, you can make students take the course up to a specific number of times. This will help students to feel tension and concentration, which are difficult to stimulate in a regular class! You can assign materials to each group Depending on the level of your students, you can assign the materials you want to distribute to each group! Summary of the first part This discussion is going to be a long one, so I will break it up here. In the first part, we used learningBOX as an example to show how to propose learning methods, create teaching materials, and separate questions that could be used in e-learning based on Taro Tatsuno's problems. What did you think of this e-learning study using learningBOX that we introduced this time? I think it was a fresh new study method different from the textbooks, notebooks, and printed learning materials currently used in schools and educational settings. I am sure that study methods will continue to evolve with the times. We may have entered a turning point in terms of the "quality of education, flexibility of teaching methods, and education that meets the needs of the times" that we seek and require. In the second part, I would like to talk in detail about how to manage grades and registration based on the learning environment created by learningBOX, etc. In the second part, I will also provide more in-depth information about the operation and cost aspects of e-learning. or you are about to give up because of the difficulty of the operation. Our learningBOX will turn your anxiety into anticipation! We look forward to seeing you again in the second part! Thank you very much for reading this article.
