(This article was originally published on April 2, 2018.) The next release of learningBOX is expected to include the ability to upload SCORM materials. First, we plan to support SCORM 1.2 packages for single SCOs. In the future, we plan to advance support for newer SCORM versions and to support registration of courses consisting of multiple SCOs.

This article describes how to create SCORM teaching materials and put them on learningBOX. Originally, SCORM requires a file called imsmanifext.xml, which defines the structure of the teaching material, but learningBOX can register teaching materials without imsmanifest.xml. However, learningBOX can be used without imsmanifest.xml. What is SCORM? For an overview of SCORM, please refer to What is SCORM? About the Version The version of SCORM is 1.2. Prerequisite Knowledge The student should have some understanding of the JavaScript (ECMAScript) language specification and have the ability to read and understand plain programs. Basic understanding of HTML. Let's implement the API right away! First, create a text file named index.html and copy the following source code. Cautions ・Please make sure that the file name is not index.html.txt, etc. (Hint: display the file extension) It may seem better to use UTF-8 for character encoding, but since the file contains only ASCII characters, the character encoding is unimportant. However, if you want to create proper contents, please specify the character encoding properly. Never use full-width spaces for white space characters. You may indent with half-width spaces or tabs, but never full-width spaces! Never! Let's create an archive! Compress index.html to create a ZIP file. Notes In case of Windows, right-click and do as usual. In case of Mac, please make sure to create a ZIP file compatible with Windows. If you are using Linux, you can do it by yourself. Register the ZIP file in the system Upload the created ZIP file as a SCORM teaching material. Study You have created a teaching material that you can just open and your score will be 99 and your status will be Pass. Congratulations! Development Assignment (Easy) A score of 99 is too good to be true. (Easy) Please make a teaching material that will result in a failing grade. (Standard) Please make a teaching material that records the viewing time. (Standard) Please make an educational material that measures the number of clicks in 5 seconds and send the score. (difficult) Please make a Tetris game that records the score. Hints for Developmental Tasks Check the SCORM specification for the format of the viewing time. Scores are only accepted as strings of integers. Normally, scores are limited to integers 0-100, but learningBOX accepts scores up to 2^31-1.

LearningBOX allows you to upload 500MB of video per video if you subscribe to a high-capacity video plan. As stated in the section on video capacity, even a 1 or 2 hour video can be kept within the 500MB limit with proper compression. However, it is troublesome to purchase video editing software and set up compression settings just to reduce video capacity. Therefore, we had published a video compression procedure using FFMPEG. Once set up, it is convenient and easy to compress many videos, but FFMPEG has some quirks in its installation, and we think there were some cases where users were stumped by the settings. This time, we have developed an easier way to compress videos, and we would like to introduce it to you. (Works on Windows 7 or later) Encoder_20200630.zip Procedure Download and unzip the Encoder_20200630.zip file above. Double-click Encoder.exe to launch it. Select the image quality if necessary. The "640 width standard plan" is the setting that produces the smallest video size. This is the recommended setting if you have not subscribed to any video options. Width 1280 Large Video Plan" is the setting suitable for large video plans. If the video size exceeds 500 MB with this setting, you can reduce the size by using the 640 setting. No Size Change" is a setting where the video is re-encoded without changing the video size. Although the video size is not changed, the capacity can be reduced in many cases. Drag and drop video files into the above window to start encoding. If multiple videos are dragged and dropped together, the dragged and dropped videos will be encoded one after another. The encoded files will be saved in the same folder as the original videos with a file name such as ".640.mp4" appended to the end. FAQ Can Tatsuno Information System develop encoders? No, we cannot; we only provide an open source video encoder called FFMPEG for your convenience. Why does this method reduce the capacity? The capacity is reduced by adjusting the quality to a level suitable for e-learning. Specifically, we make the following adjustments Reduce the quality of the video In addition to adjusting the video size, we also adjust the compression ratio. Although it may not look as good as terrestrial digital or Blu-ray, the settings are sufficient for educational videos. Reducing the frame rate of the video Video at 60 frames per second is smooth. But do you need 60 frames per second for video of a board or instructor? By keeping the video at 30 frames per second, we reduce the amount of space required. Making the audio monaural By making the audio monaural, the amount of audio data is reduced by half. Use an appropriate codec Compression with h264 reduces the capacity of the video. Fine-tune the image quality This article is intended to be "simple" and does not provide detailed settings for image quality. Please use ffmpeg on the command line or use "Drag and Drop Video Encoding" to rewrite parameters for encoding. If your goal is to put the video on learningBOX, our LMS, we will support you in setting up the video. Update History 2018.4.1 First version released 2018.4.2 Fixed bug version released -- improved handling of video filenames with spaces in them

High-Capacity Video Plan earningBOX offers a High-Capacity Video Plan. With the High-Capacity Video Plan, the file size limit per video is relaxed, as well as the total amount of content that can be uploaded. Plans Normal Plan High-Capacity Video Plan Total Capacity 10GB x N 100GB x N Upper limit per video 30MB 500MB Annual fee 30,000 yen × N 90,000 yen × N N is 1 for 100 users and N is 5 for 500 users. Maximum video capacity available for the 100-person regular plan and the high-capacity video plan. Video capacity varies greatly depending on picture quality. For terrestrial digital broadcasting, the maximum speed is about 10-14 Mbps, and for BS digital, the maximum speed is about 24 Mbps; at 24 Mbps, 3 MB per second or 180 MB per minute, which means that the normal plan can only handle up to 10 seconds and the high-capacity video plan can handle less than 3 minutes. On the other hand, one-seg TV broadcasting at 128 kbps (0.128 Mbps) and TV phone calls at 32 kbps (0.03 Mbps) to 64 kbps (0.06 Mbps) are much smaller, and at 64 kbps, one hour of video can be uploaded even with a regular plan. Since video delivery on learningBOX is adjusted to about 200 kbps by the delivery service, uploading too high quality video will only use up storage space and will not be beneficial. You can use the service to the fullest by uploading videos encoded at a bit rate of about 200 kbps, with a screen size of 640*360 and 30 frames per second. However, we do plan to modify the delivery quality upward in the future and have plans to support more efficient encoding, such as H265. We also recommend that you register videos of 1280*720, 30 frames per second, and 1 Mbps, as the same bit rate may result in lower quality depending on the software and encoding you are using. Maximum time limit per video Plan Normal Plan High-Capacity Video Plan 24Mbps 10 seconds 167 sec.

What is moodle? moodle is an open source e-learning platform. It is a Learning Management System (LMS) that provides a complete set of features to support face-to-face teaching and e-learning. moodle was developed in Australia and is distributed under the GNU General Public License. It is developed on a community basis (volunteer). Registering Activities moodle allows you to register various activities (e.g. discussion boards, report collection pages, etc.). Quizzes are also an activity. Create a new course from the site home page. Enter the course you have created and click on the "Start Edit Mode" link in the gear box in the upper right corner of the screen. The screen will change slightly. Since you don't know what the screen means at this point, we'll briefly explain. The "Topic 1" in (1) looks like a folder. In the image, there are folders named Topic 1, Topic 2, Topic 3, and Topic 4 in the folder "Course for Introduction. Editing (2) is editing about the topic. You can change the name of the topic or make it invisible except to the administrator. You can create issues, bulletin boards, etc. from (3), although it is difficult to see because of the yellow color. You can increase or decrease the number of topics from ④. You can reorder the topics by dragging and dropping the crossed arrows (⑤). (6) is an activity forum, which is similar to a bulletin board. (7) is the setting of the public range. This article is about registering a problem, so we will register a problem right away. Click on "Add Activity or Resource" (③). A list of activities and resources will be displayed. Since we are going to create a question, select "Quiz" and click "Add". Enter the information for the quiz. The only required field is the name. The only thing you need to enter here is the file information for the quiz, which is separate from the questions. To explain this a little more clearly, think of it as preparing a piece of paper to create the test. Once saved, the quiz file is generated. The next step is to write the questions on the prepared paper. Click on the file name. Click on Edit Quiz to set the questions in the quiz file. Click on Add and then on New Question. Select the question type. This time we will choose a simple o/x question. Category allows you to choose where in the question bank you would like to save the questions you create. The question bank will be explained in more detail later. Default Grade is the score for this question. In simple terms, it determines the score for a 10-point test. Enter the question name and text, select o or x for the correct answer, and you are done with the minimum settings. Click Save Changes at the bottom. The question is now registered. The quiz now contains only one question with a crossed-out answer. We can now repeat this process to edit the quiz, but this time we will leave this one question alone. Return to the site home and click on the quiz file name Take Question" is now displayed. Click on it to start the question. Question Bank In moodle, all questions are stored in a question bank. The questions in the question bank are copied into the quiz to form the quiz. As you can see in the image above, there are several categories within the larger question bank. The categories in which questions are stored are the ones shown in the image above. I want to use e-learning more comfortably and for free.

There are three ways to create a problem, but each person has his/her own preference When creating questions in QuizGenerator, some people find it easier to do so than others. Creating questions using the question creation form Creating questions in a text file Creating questions in an Excel file There are three ways to create the above three types of forms, but I, personally, think that creating with text and spreadsheet software is easier. Some people, on the contrary, of course, think that the question creation form is easier and better. The order of creation in any of the methods is different, but what you are doing is no different from any other method of creation. 1. enter the question text 2. select the question type 3. prepare answers This is all there is to it. The third step varies slightly depending on the type of question, but as long as you keep this in mind, you should be fine, just as you would with a paper-based test. For now, create questions with the text. Anyway, let's try to make a problem once. That is the easiest way to remember. It is the same as the old saying of learning by writing. Anyway, try to move your hands. The following three problems are to be created this time. 5 x 5 = ? (Choose the correct answer from the choices) Write the largest prefecture in Japan. (Have the students actually type it in.) Write the largest prefecture in Japan Combine numbers and Chinese numerals correctly. (Make the correct combination) Launch an editor that allows you to save text files. Notepad, TextEdit, Hidemaru, Atom, whatever. We will start with the simplest one. 5 x 5 = ? (Choose the correct answer from the choices) We will create this one. 1. input the question text. 5 x 5 = ? 2. enter the question type. 5 x 5 = ? sa: 3. enter the correct answer. 5 x 5 = ? sa: 25 4. enter another choice. This time there are three choices. 5 x 5 = ? sa: 25 5 10 1 This completes one question. The remaining questions are written in the same way. First, write the descriptive questions as follows. Write the largest prefecture in Japan. fill-in: Hokkaido When the user answers, the correct answer is entered as "Hokkaido". There is less to write than the first four questions we created. Finally, we have a combination question. Combination questions are written as follows Combine numbers and Chinese characters correctly. match: 1::1 2::two 3::three 4::four When answering, the user must drag and drop the Chinese numbers entered on the right side to combine them to match the numbers on the left side to get the correct answer. Summarize the three questions The three questions are now complete. When creating the text file, you will put these three questions together at the end. 5 x 5 = ? sa: 25 5 10 1 Write the largest prefecture in Japan. fill-in: Hokkaido Combine numbers and Chinese characters correctly. match: 1::1 2::2 3::three 4::four A blank line is inserted as a separator between each question. You may insert as many blank lines as you like. Save the file when you are done typing. This completes the creation of the text file. For now, we will create the problem in a spreadsheet. Now let's create the problem in a spreadsheet. Create the problem once anyway. That's it (see below). The following three problems are to be created this time. 5 x 5 = ? (Choose the correct answer from the choices) Write the largest prefecture in Japan. (Have the students actually type it in.) Combine numbers and Chinese numerals correctly. (Make the correct combination) Open a spreadsheet, e.g. Excel or Google Spreadsheet. Unlike text, be sure to enter "#format:table" in cell 1A. This "#format:table" is the proof that you are using spreadsheet software. The problem is entered starting with 2A. In the spreadsheet, the question text is entered in column A, the question type in column B, the correct answer in column C, and the incorrect answer in columns D and after. The remaining two questions will also be entered. #format:table 5 x 5 = ? sa: 25 5 10 1 Write the largest prefecture in Japan. fill-in: Hokkaido Combine numbers and Chinese characters correctly. match: 1::1 2::2 3::3 4::4 Save the file when you have finished typing. When saving, the file format should be ".xlsx". Convert the created questions to the quiz player Convert the questions you have created into a quiz player. For QuizGenerator Click on "Conversion Tools" in the header menu. Upload the created issue file for conversion. After successful conversion, you will be presented with the option of what to do with the quiz, as shown in the image below. ▼About each option Preview: You can check the uploaded questions in a separate tab. Download: You can download the files you need to put on your website. Limited Publication: You can publish your questions only to those who know the URL. An ifream will also be displayed, so you can embed the file on your website. General Public: The problem will be posted on the public page of lm.QuizGenerator. For learningBOX First, register as an owner on learningBOX. 10 accounts can be used for free for an unlimited period of time. From Content Management, click on the + symbol. Click on Quiz > Upload Quiz/Test. Upload and save the question file you created. After successful registration, the file will be placed in the content management as shown in the image below. At first, I tried to create a question. As you can see from my attempts at creating the questions, if you remember the rules of entry and even the question types, you can create them faster with text or spreadsheet software. To add to that, if you have a large number of questions, the question creation form does not allow you to save the form in the middle of creating a question, and if an error occurs, you have to create the form from scratch. If you have 10 questions, you can give up; if you have 20 questions, you can give up; if you have 50 questions, you will lose your motivation for the day; if you have 100 questions, you will never want to look at it again; if you have more than 100 questions, you will never want to look at it again; if you have more than 100 questions, you will never want to look at it again. It's really convenient to be able to save the questions in the middle of the day. It's really convenient.  

What is moodle? Moodle is an open source e-learning platform. It has a relatively large number of users among similar systems. Moodle is a software package that helps educators create high-quality online learning processes (courses). Such an e-learning system can be called a Learning Management System (LMS), Course Management System (CMS), Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), or simply an online learning environment: VLE), or simply an online education system. Excerpt from wiki Preparing a server to install moodle If you want to use moodle in your school or company, you will need to prepare a dedicated server. In recent years, there are many rental servers available, and many people are likely to use them. In this article, we will use EC2 within AWS (AmazonWebService). After registering with AWS, you will come to the EC2 screen. An instance is a server. So, click on "Create Instance" to create a new instance. Select the software for the instance. In this case, we will use AMI. Select the instance type. Performance and price will vary depending on the type. The lowest spec t2.nano is sufficient for operation. Detailed settings are available, but the default settings are fine for this time. Storage is to be added, but this time the default settings will be fine. Add tags to make it easier to identify instances. You do not need to add anything in particular. Set the security group settings. Since access is also possible via HTTP, add HTTP to the rules. The security group can be changed at any time, so please set your own security group when you actually use the system. Finally, check the security group. If all is well, click "Create". The instance has been launched. Next, prepare the contents of the instance. Connecting via SSH Launch a terminal and access via SSH. You can access with "ssh username@IP address -i configured key pair". The black part is private information and is hidden. If the access is successful, it will be displayed as shown in the image. Next, we will set up the minimum environment to use moodle. First, change to root with "sudo -i". If $ displayed before the command is changed to #, you are root. Install apache Install apache. Enter "yum install -y httpd24". After installation is complete, enter "chkconfig httpd on" to set up automatic startup of apache. Enter "vim /etc/sysconfig/i18n" to set the language setting to Japanese, rewrite "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8" and save. Enter "cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tokyo /etc/localtime" to set the time to use the Tokyo standard. You will be asked if you want to rewrite it, answer "yes". After completing the configuration, enter "service httpd start" to start apache. Enter "service httpd status" to check if it has started. If you see "httpd (pid ****) is running...", it is running. is running..." is displayed, it is running. It is OK if the apache page is displayed when accessing with http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (GlobalIP: IP for SSH connection). Install PHP Install apache. Enter "yum install -y php56". Next, change the time of PHP to Japan. Enter "vim /etc/php.ini". php.ini is a long file, so type "/date.timezone" to search for it. Change ";date.timezone =" to "date.timezone = 'Asia/Tokyo'" and save it. Install Mysql Install Mysql. Enter "yum install -y mysql-server". After installation is complete, enter "chkconfig mysqld on" to set up automatic startup of mysql. Start Mysql with "service mysqld start". Enter "service mysqld status" to check if it has started. If you see "mysqld (pid ****) is running...", it is running. is running..." is displayed, Mysql is running. Next, set the password for mysqld. Enter "mysql -uroot" and log in as root. Enter "set password for root@localhost=password('pass');" in the query. Then log out with "exit". Next, configure security. Enter "/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation". The configuration is done interactively. Enter the following. Enter current password for root (enter for none): (the password for the MySQL:root user you just used) Change the root password? Remove anonymous users? Disallow root login remotely? Remove test database and access to it? Reload privilege tables now? Now that the settings have been changed, restart Mysql by entering "service mysqld restart". Install phpMyAdmin Since phpMyAdmin is useful for operating Mysql, install it as well. Enter "yum --enablerepo=epel install -y phpMyAdmin". Enter "vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf", and then type Make changes as shown in the following figure and save the changes. When you have finished making changes, restart apache by entering "service httpd restart" to reflect the changes. Install moodle To install moodle, download the latest version of moodle from the download page of moodle's official site. Copy the downloaded moodle files to the server. There are many ways to do this, but for this article, we will use "Cyberduck". Download "Cyberduck" and launch it. Click on "New Connection" and enter the information as shown in the image. After connecting, you should see "/home/ec2-user" and copy the downloaded moodle file to the server by drag & drop. Operate the terminal again. The uploaded file has been moved to "/var/www/html". Following that, this time create a folder "moodledata" in "/var/www". Change the permissions as moodle cannot write to this folder. If the permission of moodledata is "drwxrwxrwx", it is OK. Finally, unzip the moodle files. Go to "/var/www/html" and extract the files with "tar xvzf filename". http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/moodle and set the Japanese language from the pull-down in the center, as shown in the image below. Installation is now complete. Initial configuration of moodle Now that you have reached this point, you are ready to go one step further. Click Next. Since moodledata is already prepared, click Next. Click Next. Enter the user as root and the password set in Mysql, and click Next. I was told that config.php could not be created, so I opened a terminal three times and connected via SSH. I entered as root and typed "vim /var/www/html/moodle/config.php" I copied all the php code shown on the moodle initialization page and saved it. Then click next. It says that it is copyright free and you can use it as you like. Click Continue. You will be asked to check your operating environment. The minimum environment is ready, so click Continue. The check will take a little time. When all checks are complete, the screen scrolls to the bottom. Click Continue. Follow the prompts to register users who can handle all functions. Set up the site name and other settings. You can change the settings, so feel free to enter your own. When the above screen appears, the initial setup is complete. Thank you for your hard work. However, this is just the start of the process. You must have thought that after all this work, you need to do all this just for preparation. I'd like to use e-learning more comfortably and for free. If you want to use e-learning more comfortably, we recommend our learningBOX. Up to 10 accounts are free. No need to set up any servers. Just register as a user and you can start using our e-learning service right away. Click here to register for free.
