[Tips for making knowledge-based questions] Make it quick and don't take too much time.

出題文をwikiから作ろう 知識系の問題を作成するとき、出題文の作成の困ると思います。 そういうときは、wikiからその単語にかんする説明文をひっぱってきましょう。 例えば兵庫県に関する問題を出題したい場合 下記兵庫県のWIKIページです。 https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%85%B5%E5%BA%AB%E7%9C%8C こちらに兵庫県の情報はほぼ全てのっているので、簡単に作成していきます。   説明を穴埋めにしよう   例えば、wikiの冒頭は下記のようになっています。 兵庫県は、日本の都道府県の一つ。本州の中西部に位置し、近畿地方に属する。県庁所在地は神戸市。 こちらを穴埋め問題にしてしまいます。下記穴埋めにした形です。 <br /> Hyogo Prefecture is one of the prefectures in Japan. It is located in the central-western part of {1} and belongs to the {2} region. The prefectural capital is {3}.<br /> wordbank:<br /> Honshu (largest of the four main islands of Japan)<br /> Kinki (region around Osaka, Kyoto, Nara)<br /> Kobe (port city near Osaka)<br /> Kyushu (southernmost of the four main islands of Japan)<br /> region west of Tokyo on Japan Sea side of Japan<br /> Hyogo (city)<br />   Let's come up with a number for the summary information in the sidebar of the wiki. For example, the wiki shows the following Total population 5,502,987 (Estimated population, October 1, 2017) This would be a choice question here. <br /> What is the total population of Hyogo Prefecture?<br /> button:<br /> 5,502,987 persons<br /> 8,502,987 persons<br /> 10,502,987 persons<br /> 1,502,987 persons<br /> Let's make it an XX question. For example, the wiki has the following Hyogo Prefecture owes its name to the fact that its government office was located in what is now Hyogo Ward (Hyogo Castle) in Kobe City. This is because the Port of Hyogo (formerly known as Ohwadamari, part of the current Port of Kobe) located here has long been open as an international trading port. The name "Hyogo" also derives from the fact that during the reign of Emperor Tenchi, there was a "Tsuwamonogura (Hyogo)," meaning a warehouse for weapons of the soldiers. I will make this one a circle and cross question. <br /> The name "Hyogo" comes from the fact that the government office was located in what is now Hyogo Ward (Hyogo Castle) in Kobe City.

The name "Hyogo" also derives from the fact that during the reign of Emperor Tenchi, there was a "tsawamonogura (Hyogo)," meaning a warehouse for weapons of the army.<br /> 180 degree<br /> true<br /> Below is the result of turning the above three into problems. I hope you all give it a try ^^^! Please view with an Iframe-compatible browser.

Let's just try to create a problem.

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.

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.

The easiest way to pre-compress your video materials

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
