.xml to .txt We have released a tool to convert some of the questions created in moodle into .txt files that can be used in QuizGenerator. This conversion tool makes it possible to switch smoothly from moodle. Please click here to access the conversion tool. Operation in moodle First, export the problem in moodle. From the quiz, click on the operation menu in the upper right corner (in the red frame of the image below). Click on "Export" at the bottom of the list of operations. On the export screen select the file format "Moodle XML format". Export Categories" allows you to select the question banks to be exported. Export categories to file" and "Export context to file" should be checked. Finally, click on "Export questions to file" and an .xml file will be downloaded. Operations in the conversion tool Click on "Choose file" and select the .xml file you downloaded from moodle. Then click "Convert". You will see a preview of the text file to be converted at the top and an error message at the bottom. Click "Download" to download the text file. You can use this file in QuizGenerator and learningBOX.

This is a comparison of QuizGenerator and QuizGenerator (beta). QuizGenerator is a "quiz creation only" service and does not manage accounts or grades. QuizGenerator (beta) is a service that provides all the functions of a Learning Management System (LMS), including question registration, account management, and grade management, and is available for free for up to 10 accounts. If you need more accounts, you can use the same question source files (text and spreadsheets) as QuizGenerator without any modification. The same question source files (text and spreadsheets) as QuizGenerator can be used without modification. Nine types of questions can be created: multiple choice, multiple choice (quick mode), multiple choice, short answer, multiple short answer, correct/incorrect (◯××), fill-in-the-blank, sorting, and combination. ◎Randomized questions: You can create 10 registered questions in random order, or 10 random questions out of 100 questions. ◎Master Mode: When you create a quiz, the Complete Strategy button and the Thorough Review button will appear on the quiz start screen. When you click the Complete Strategy button, only questions that you have never answered correctly will be shown. If you click the Thorough Review button, questions that you are not good at (questions you made mistakes on) will be given priority. ◎Only one-time test... Simply put, it is a "test". You can take the quiz only once, and you can set the quiz not to open after the second time. ◎Course creation・・・You can set restrictions such as "You cannot move on to the next question until you have solved all the questions.

ALB (Application Load Balancer) has been introduced in Amazon Web Services. This ALB has a function that removes SSL from HTTP requests coming from outside and changes the communication between the ALB and the web server to HTTP communication, but due to this effect, whether the communication between the ALB and the client is HTTP or HTTPS, it looks like HTTP communication to the web server. However, the effect is that the communication between the ALB and the client, whether HTTP or HTTPS, looks like HTTP communication to the web server. Therefore, in an ALB-unaware configuration, you will end up in a redirection loop. Example of proper operation through ALB If you configure as follows, even if SSL is removed through the ALB, the original protocol will be used to determine if the request was received directly without the ALB, and if the request was accessed through the ALB, the third line will determine if both of these conditions are met, and only then will the URL https :// URL only if both of these conditions are met. RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https [NC]. RewriteRule ^(. *)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Question Creation Screen Explained When creating questions in moodle, there are many detailed settings that are difficult to understand what they are. In this article, we will explain them. First of all, we will explain the most frequently used multiple choice questions. General The "Question Name" and the "Question Text" are just for the sake of clarity. The "Default Grade" is the score for this question. It may be hard to understand what we are talking about here, but in moodle, the questions and the quiz are two separate groups. For example, let's say you have a quiz that is worth 10 points. You want to put a multiple choice question on the quiz. The "General Feedback" section is where you set how many points this question deserves in the quiz. The "General Feedback" is a message that appears after answering a question? An explanation? Well, something like that. It is for general feedback, so it will be shown to everyone after answering a question. If you want the feedback to be shown only to those who answered correctly or incorrectly, you can set it in the General Feedback section at the bottom of the screen. "Single or multiple answers?" allows you to select one or more answers when answering the question. Depending on this choice, some of the subsequent operations will change. "Shuffle choices?" allows you to shuffle the sequence of choices each time you answer the question. Do you want to number the choices? allows you to choose whether or not to prefix the choices with a number, English, etc. Answer Enter the content of the choices in the field labeled "Choice". The "Grade" field allows you to set the score of the choice. The "Grade" should be set to the "Default Grade", which is %. The "Grade" should be adjusted depending on whether the answer is a single answer or multiple answers. In the case of a single answer The grade of one of the options must be 100%. In the case of multiple answers The sum of the positive grades must equal 100%. The "Feedback" is a message that appears when you select a choice as your answer. An explanation? Well, that's what it is. Click on "Add 3 more choices" to add more choices. Other Settings The "General Feedback" section allows you to select the message to be displayed for correct and incorrect answers? Explanation? You can set the message or explanation for each correct or incorrect answer. The "Multiple Attempts" option is best thought of as "Multiple Answers". If you make a mistake on a question, you will be given a hint, and you can try to answer the question again, but with a point deduction. The "Tags" field allows you to set tags for the management of the question bank. The "Created/Last Modified" field is just what it sounds like. A lot of settings in moodle This is a description of the second most configurable question in moodle, the multiple choice question. Many of you may think that you don't need all that detail. On the other hand, are there people who still need more? In other questions, you can set the units of measure in detail, how much margin of error is allowed in calculation questions, how many decimal places are allowed, etc. In other words, if you don't set it in detail, you can't make the question. Conversely, you cannot make a problem unless you set up the details. The evaluation of moodle will vary depending on whether you see this as an advantage or a disadvantage. I want to use e-learning more comfortably and for free. For those who find moodle's detailed settings a disadvantage and those who want to use e-learning more comfortably, we recommend our learningBOX. Up to 10 accounts are free. There is no need to set up a server at all. It is an e-learning service that can be used immediately by simply registering a user who can handle all the functions you set up at the end.

More than half a year has passed since the release of learningBOX, and it is mainly used for the following purposes. Preparation for qualifications Many students use learningBOX to prepare for national examinations (e.g., bar examinations, information processing engineers, building contractors, caregivers, etc.) and private examinations such as LPIC. Some companies use the service for in-house education, some universities use it as a visual aptitude course for their students, and some companies provide educational services outside the company. As a measure for high school and university entrance examinations In many cases, the system is used by cram schools and schools to provide teaching materials for the five basic subjects. For in-house education Many companies use eLearning to enforce company rules and to certify employees for internal examinations. There are many cases where e-learning is used for in-house education to acquire and maintain the Privacy Mark and ISMS. As a quiz There are also examples where e-Learning is used not for learning purposes, but simply for the enjoyment of quizzes. In most cases, eLearning for this purpose is used with a free plan.

The reasons for building an e-learning system on an intranet (corporate network = on-premise) in the age of cloud computing are as follows. To allow learning of content that absolutely must not be leaked to outside parties. For general e-learning, even cloud-based e-learning systems can sufficiently protect against information leaks by using SSL and reliable data centers and management companies. However, would it be appropriate, for example, to deliver training content for the Self-Defense Forces from an Amazon data center? http://AmazonにはAWS There is a service for U.S. government organizations called GovCloud, and there may eventually be a cloud for Japanese government agencies. However, at this time, there is no public cloud that can handle Japan's national secrets, and an intra-governmental e-learning system may be necessary for these applications. To allow learning materials, including high quality videos, to be studied at large sites. We want to provide e-learning materials using videos to offices with several thousand to several tens of thousands of employees. In such a case, it is not appropriate to have all the videos placed on the cloud and taken at the same time, considering the load on the network. It is not uncommon for large companies to have internal networks with bandwidths of 10 Gbps or higher, but communication over the Internet is best-effort and slower and less reliable than internal corporate networks. Therefore, if you want to use e-learning materials, including video content, at a single large location, it is practical to build an e-learning system on the intranet. That said, the cloud is often more suitable than on-premise Conversely, except in the above cases, it is more economical and less time-consuming to build an e-learning system using the cloud. Even if you have tens of thousands of employees, if you want to learn from sales offices all over the country, an intranet-based system is not recommended in terms of cost and stability. If you are ordering the intranet version, please contact us. As of October 2018, we offer learningBOX mainly from a cloud environment (Amazon Web Services), while we also have customers who have built the above intranet (on-premise), so if you want to deploy learningBOX in an intranet (on-premise) environment If you would like to deploy learningBOX in your intranet (on-premise) environment, please feel free to contact us. Please contact us for more information.

As mentioned in the "Free e-Learning" section, learningBOX can be used by up to 10 people free of charge. Also, there is no need to contact us to start using the service. We want you to actually use the service. No matter how carefully we prepare the manuals or how carefully we explain the products, seeing is believing. The best way to get people to know our products is to have them actually use them. Each company should have its own dedicated server, and technicians should set up one unit at a time. In those days, it was unrealistic to allow people to start using the service for free or without making any inquiries. Now, we are in the age of the cloud. LearningBOX is designed to be extremely lightweight and scalable, taking advantage of cloud technology. Therefore, we were able to keep the cost of creating a new environment extremely low. We designed the plan so that learningBOX can be used free of charge for an indefinite period of time by up to 10 users. By having as many people as possible sign up for an account and let us know what they think, we will be able to evolve learningBOX into an even better service.

You can start using learningBOX with no need to contact us. You can start using the LMS immediately by registering as a user rather than starting to use it. You can continue to use the service up to 10 users without signing up for a paid plan, and if you pay by credit card, you can instantly relax the limit to 1000 users. (If you wish to use the service for more than 1001 users, please contact us using the inquiry form.) LearningBOX is designed to support tens of thousands of users by taking advantage of cloud technology, so you can start using it right away when you want to use it.
