Hello, this is Nagai🎮 of the Quality Control Department, still unable to let go of my fan due to the hot and cold weather. October has arrived in the blink of an eye! In this article, I would like to share with those who want to create quizzes that can be used in e-learning, what to keep in mind when creating quizzes in the question making form and how to solve them. For those of you who are using our QuizGenerator or learningBOX and are having trouble with the questions not displaying well, how can you solve the problem? We are here to help you! If you know how to solve a small input error, you can quickly deal with it! Thank you very much for your cooperation. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. what is deceptive appearance? 2. how to solve it 3. summary What is deceived by appearance? First of all, please look at the following image. The text is typed in the "problem statement" section. At first glance, it looks like you are just typing "Don't let appearances deceive you. But if you check the actual source code, you will see ・・・・・ *This is just an example, and in some cases it can be even more complicated. Font specifications, paragraphs, headings, and many other things may be specified. ➡ " This is what I call being fooled by appearances." When do you see this kind of phenomenon? This phenomenon may occur when you use "copy and paste" which you usually use casually when creating quizzes. It is easy to create questions by copying and pasting the information you have entered in the question creation form or the text and contents posted on the Internet, but "unnecessary information such as extra line breaks, spaces, special fonts, and machine dependent characters are also incorporated when creating quizzes. Some problems occur when multiple questions are combined into one, as well as the display of the player's screen is corrupted. If a question does not display as expected, these are the most likely causes💦. Solution This is caused by using the issue creation form and you will need to check the source code for confirmation." The easiest way around this is to use text." To be precise, it is the method of using standard text. Standard text does not allow the use of html tags and only the bare text data is entered. You can adjust the text here and create questions in text format as is, or you can copy and paste it into the question creation form. You can use the standard text as you wish once you have gone through the standard text. Summary When using the question form to create a question, you may find that it appears differently than you intended. It may seem convenient, but there are unexpected pitfalls. However, html tags are there to display problems beautifully. The html tags are not that difficult to understand. Some people reject them just by looking at the English language, but I want them to touch them just a little. Furthermore, by applying HTML tags and other techniques, you can create interesting problems, such as this one. This article is a bit of advice for those who want to create quizzes that can be used in e-learning. Our e-learning system, learningBOX, has a very wide variety of quiz formats and options. Of course, we are happy to consult with you on the creation of quizzes as well. Please feel free to contact us. Thank you for taking the time to read this article.

Nice to meet you. My name is Yokoyama🐈, and I am a developer. Have you ever heard of STEM education? This is an educational model that started in the United States in the 2000s. This paper introduces STEM education, which is attracting attention around the world. Click here for Table of Contents 1. what is STEM education? 2. STEM Education Overseas 3. STEM Education in Japan 4. summary What is STEM education? STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, and was proposed by the National Science Foundation in the 2000s. STEM education was originally initiated to increase enrollment in science and engineering fields in order to increase global competitiveness in science and technology. Today, the concept has expanded and diversified to include various related concepts, such as STEAM education with the addition of Art and STREAM education with the addition of Robotics, as creativity and sensitivity are becoming increasingly important in preparation for a super-smart society. It is not just education in science and engineering fields, Emphasis on practical skills From subject-specific education to cross-disciplinary education hands-on, creative, and proactive introduction of new technologies emphasis on integration and diversity of people: ensuring fairness of educational opportunities Emphasis on value of K-12 (K-12 elementary education) Emphasis on STEM teacher development and other initiatives are being undertaken around the world as a comprehensive education closely linked to society and creativity. STEM Education Overseas STEM education began in the U.S. and is now being actively pursued as a national policy in countries around the world. Country Name Background Specific Initiatives United States of America Government-led Promotion of IT Human Resource Development, EdTech Penetration, and STEM Education Middle-income class faces crisis amid automation by robots and AI Charter Schools Emerging to Break Away from Conventional Education Schools utilizing EdTech services such as adaptive learning, MOOCs, LMS, etc. Project-based learning-centered schools with cross-enforcement to develop soft skills (non-cognitive skills, GRIT, etc.) through a charter school system with open-ended curriculum China By 2025, China faces a severe shortage of human resources in areas critical to its future economic development Premier Li Keqiang advocates "mass entrepreneurship and universal innovation China STEM Education 2029 Innovation Action Plan Shanghai "STEM+" Education Research Center Israel Recognition that the development of scientific and technological human resources is essential for the country's continued development due to its historical/military background STEM education is introduced from an early age. In particular, science and technology kindergartens in partnership with high-tech companies allow students to learn about robotics, computers, space, and more. STEM education with special emphasis on programming and cyber security Singapore Traditionally emphasized the importance of nurturing the elite who will be at the helm of the country Particular focus on fostering human resources for key industries such as IoT, robotics, AI, biotechnology, etc. Recently introduced "humanistic education" to nurture non-cognitive skills Providing a generous, supported AI education program for young professionals to strengthen the country's AI human resource capacity Integrated program for secondary education and college preparatory education Personalization of learning and cross-disciplinary knowledge understanding and utilization through EdTech seems to be the global trend. STEM Education in Japan STEM education efforts in Japan seem to be mainly conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has been conducting Super Science High Schools since 2002. The MEXT aims to develop future international science and technology-related human resources, The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has designated high schools that provide advanced science and mathematics education as "Super Science High Schools" in order to develop future international science and technology professionals, Development and implementation of curricula that are not based on the Courses of Study, and promotion of problem-based research, Since 2002, the program has been supporting experiential and problem-solving learning through observation and experimentation. Source: Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology/Super Science High School Furthermore, various measures are being taken to fully implement programming education in elementary schools from FY2020. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has set forth three pillars for educational reform: "STEAM-ization of learning," "Independence and individual optimization of learning," and "Creation of a new learning foundation. STEAM-ization of Learning With each student's unique excitement at the core, "knowing" and "creating" will be circulated to create a learning environment that integrates the humanities and sciences. Independent and personalized learning Learning that allows students to choose how they learn based on their individual cognitive characteristics and level of achievement. Creation of a new learning foundation Learner-centered, digital-first, seamless schooling with society. In Japan, as in other countries, EdTech is being used to personalize learning, and to understand and utilize knowledge across the board. Conclusion STEM education is not only education in science and engineering fields, but also comprehensive education to "create and utilize AI and create new values" for a super-smart society. STEM education started in the U.S. and is now being actively pursued as a national policy in countries around the world. Personalization of learning and cross-cutting knowledge understanding and utilization through the use of EdTech The day may come in the not-so-distant future when e-Learning will be conducted using one computer or tablet per person as a matter of course! Our e-Learning system "learningBOX" will be developed for STEM education! 😀 😀 Click here for reference page on STEM education Source: Reference Material on the Current State of Education in Other Countries (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) (used on 09/05/2019) Source: Human Resource Development for Society 5.0 - Changing Society, Changing Learning (used on 2019/09/05)

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!

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.
