LearningBOX is a service that we recommend to those who are considering switching to zuknow following the end of zuknow. What you need to change to LearningBOX The original file of the teaching materials LearningBOX account If you do not have an account, please create a free account above. How to Create Teaching Materials The learning application "zuknow" allows individuals to create teaching materials by copying and pasting data from Excel. The same data used to create content in zuknow can be used to create questions in QuizGenerator. [Wordbook 1. Create a list of English words, etc. in Excel or Google Spreadsheet (if there is a file previously used in zuknow, display it) and copy (Excerpted from the zuknow usage guide [http://help.zuknow.net/entry/2015/01/19/140809]) 2. Paste what you just copied into a text editor, name it and save it. 3. Log in to learningBOX, open the [Manage/Create Question] screen, select the file you just created from the Create Word Cards section, and save it. A Wordbook will be created and can be opened to the public. Quiz We know that some companies have distributed quizzes on zuknow. You can create similar quizzes with QuizGenerator. The following are the rules of Excel and Google Spreadsheets when creating quiz materials on zuknow. To be able to use this in our QuizGenerator, it is necessary to rearrange the order of To use this in our QuizGenerator, it is necessary to rearrange the order of the quizzes into the following order. How to rearrange the order 1. Prepare a new sheet (page 2, etc.) in the same file. 2. Write "#format:table" in A1. 3. Copy column A of the old sheet as it is and paste all questions from A2 down in the new sheet. 4. Place columns B to E of the first question together in column B of the new sheet. (In columns C through E, you only need to place the information you want to display in the explanations.) At this point, the function 【CONCATENATE】 is used to pull in the data. The function is written on the new sheet, right next to the first question text. =CONCATENATE(sheet name of the original data! cell name where the correct answer to the first question is written,"|",sheet name of the original data! Cell name where the supplementary information about the answer is written,"|",sheet name of the original data! cell name where the explanation is written) (Example) =CONCATENATE(Sheet1!B2,"|",Sheet1!E2,Sheet1!C2) In short, it is good if the correct answer|explanatory text is displayed. 5. If the first question in column B of the new sheet appears without error, click on the cell to make it selected, and hover the mouse over the lower right corner of the box. The mouse will change to the "+" symbol. Click there and drag it to the last question you just copied to column A. The function will be specified in all rows. 6. Copy and paste column F and after of the original data into column C and after on the new sheet. You now have your choice question data for QuizGenerator! Finally As mentioned above, if you are already selling educational materials on zuknow, you can easily switch over. However, we understand that it is indeed difficult to understand even if you only read the text. If you have any trouble, we will be happy to explain it to you separately. Please do not hesitate to contact us. Please feel free to contact us by phone.

Why build your eLearning system on your intranet?

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.
