When you hear the word e-learning, ...... Let's use this article to learn the basics of e-learning and how it works, together!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Content<\/p>\n <\/p>\n E-learning is the process of learning through the use of electronic devices such as computers and smartphones and the Internet.\"This is a learning system that allows you to improve your skills at your own pace, without being restricted by time or place.<\/b><\/p>\n What is e-learning?electronic learning<\/b><\/span>It is an abbreviation of\"A form of learning that uses a variety of devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets.\"<\/b><\/span>and refers to an educational method in which learning is made electronic.<\/p>\n Today, e-learning has a strong online learning image, but originally it was generally \"offline learning\" that combined content stored on CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and other recording media.<\/span> The origins of e-learning can be traced back to the 1950s when CAI, a\"Can't we use computers to support education?\"<\/b><\/span>This idea led to the start of development, mainly in the United States.<\/p>\n The development of computer-based learning systems has been going on since the 1950s, but at that time they were still not widely recognized or known by the public.<\/p>\n At the time, e-learning, which is now commonplace, wasComputer Assisted Instruction (CAI or WBT )<\/b>It was called something like<\/p>\n CAI is composed of three components: information science (information theory) based on pedagogy (educational technology) and learning theory (learning psychology). Research on CAI in Japan began in the 1960s, and a pioneering system was put to practical use in the 1970s, but it failed to spread to general educational institutions because of the strong functions of individual systems tailored to customer specifications and the lack of flexibility of the system.<\/span><\/p>\n WBT refers to a system that enables learning by distributing educational materials through computers and other devices connected to the Internet. Features of \u25bcWBT<\/b><\/p>\n \nThrough the Internet, individual learners can view teaching materials, take tests, etc. With the development of WBT and other technologies, the expression \"e-learning\" appeared in the 1990s. e-learning was initially limited to learning on computers in companies, schools, and homes. However, in response to the advancement of IT infrastructure and the rapid spread of smartphones and tablet devices, it became possible to study on mobile devices at any place and time. The first use of the term e-learning was at TechLearn 1999, held in Florida, USA, in November 1999. For the first time, the term e-learning was used to describe what had been called CAI, WBT, online learning, distance learning, and many other names.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \"With the development and spread of personal computers, learning methods using CD-ROMs as teaching materials progressed.<\/span> With the advent and evolution of e-learning, theLearners can improve their skills 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, whenever they want, without worrying about who is watching.<\/b><\/span>It is now possible to With so many learners in one place, distributing the tests, grading them, and even checking their progress, it was all very costly. With the spread of the Internet, computers and smartphones, interactivity between instructors and learners has become a reality. Communication among learners is expected to be highly effective in improving and maintaining motivation to learn. AI is expected to be used in the future. What is LMS?Learning Management System<\/b><\/span>An LMS is a system that integrates and centrally manages the creation and distribution of learning materials, performance data, and other information necessary to implement e-learning. By implementing an LMS, administrators can centrally manage learners' \"progress\" and \"learning outcomes\".<\/span><\/p>\n Before the development of communication environments and internal networks, the Internet was not widespread, and teaching materials were distributed using CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, and other recording media.<\/p>\n By the 2000s.asymmetric digital subscriber line<\/b>and fiber-optic lines have spread to the average home, and all computers in a company are now connected to the network.<\/p>\n With personal computers connected to the Internet, the Learning Management System (LMS) emerged as software specifically designed to provide e-learning on the Internet. The creation of an online e-learning learning environment along with the spread of the Internet and other factors has expanded the opportunities for companies to adopt e-learning. ADSL: An Internet service that uses an analog telephone line to transmit data through an ADSL modem.<\/b> The Japan e-Learning Consortium, a non-profit organization that promotes the spread and standardization of e-learning, introduces the main functions of LMS as follows<\/p>\n \nRegister, change or delete learners <\/p>\n The LMS has a\"There are four major functions: Manage Materials, Deliver Materials, Manage Accounts, and Manage Grades.<\/b><\/span> Some LMS functions allow you to use only materials that have been pre-registered by the operator of the system. Systems that allow users to register their own content or create content within the system are sometimes referred to as \"LCMS\" among LMSs.<\/p>\n All learning materials for e-learning are stored in the LMS, and the materials stored in the LMS are delivered to the student's device via the Internet. Let the user himself register. All learners' learning statuses are also recorded in the LMS. Therefore, even if there are many learners in a large company, the learning status can be centrally managed, and learners can be managed and analyzed in various segments. If LMSs are provided by various companies and become disparate standards, the convenience and usability of users will be compromised. Therefore, in the LMS industrySCORM<\/a>calledLet's set a standard.<\/b><\/span>It was advocated that<\/p>\n SCORM is a standard for e-learning platforms and content. It is established by the ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative), a standardization organization affiliated with the U.S. Department of Defense.<\/p>\n The SCORM standard is now the standard, so that even if you are using an LMS from a different provider, the materials will be compatible. The article about \u25bcSCORM is explained in detail here.<\/b>

\nBy analyzing large amounts of learning data, AI is expected to be able to automatically select learning content and materials that are tailored to each individual, further improving learning efficiency. The use of VR is also advancing, and the time is approaching when e-learning will be able to solve the problem of learning involving practical skills, which has been impossible with conventional e-learning.

\nAccording to Technav, a UK-based technology research firm, the VR education sector is expected to grow to a $1.7 billion market by 2021, nine times the current size, making VR x education a sector with great potential as a business.<\/span>

\nWhen LMSs were first introduced, they were mainly used by large corporations. Large companies used their capital and technological power to develop their own LMSs and teaching materials on those LMSs, and only a few companies and organizations were able to use them.<\/span><\/p>\n
