How to lead training and education to success with the question creation function of e-learning? (Part 1)

Hello! My name is Motoki, and I am in charge of marketing. Let me start by asking, how do you plan to make use of the quiz you have created? I'm sure there are many ways to use quizzes, such as "I want to create a study site to prepare for certification exams," or "I want to use web quizzes as PR content for cram schools or schools. Quizzes and questions can be used as e-learning content for a variety of purposes. In this article, we would like to share with those who would like to use the quiz/question creation function for "training" and "education". Thank you very much for your cooperation! Click here for the Table of Contents 1. what constitutes successful training and education? 2. using e-learning's question generation function in training and education 3. exercise-type questions 4. test questions 5. summary What constitutes successful training and education? To begin with, what exactly do we mean by success in training and education? For example, can we consider just reading or looking at a manual or reference book to be a success? It is a little difficult to say. So what constitutes successful training and education? You want your learners to understand what you have taken the time to teach them, and you want them to acquire the skills. Then we need to visualize the effectiveness of the training. This is where "testing" comes in. Testing" to visualize the effectiveness of training. Something like a test with a passing standard is easy for a third party to see. For example, a "qualification" is a weapon that can objectively demonstrate one's knowledge and skill level in employment. In the same way, it is necessary to visualize the effect of training and education by setting a passing standard for training and education. It is also important to provide opportunities to properly output the knowledge that has been input. Utilizing e-Learning's Question Creation Function in Training and Education Let me finally get to the main topic of this blog post. We explained the importance of "testing" to visualize training and education, and we recommend using an eLearning system to create these tests. eLearning systems allow for easy online operation, including automated scoring, grade management, and question tuning. Input and output can be done at the same time. Tests have scores, and they are something to keep track of, but question creation can be used for more than just tests. For example, there are what we call "practice questions" in textbooks. In simple terms, they are "practice questions. These are exercises in which the learner uses the knowledge he or she has learned to work on similar questions and output the knowledge. The repetition of these exercises, in other words, the repetition of input and output, is what makes repetitive learning effective. Making with exercises and test-style questions So, the e-Learning question creation function can be used for both "exercises" and "tests". Let's take a look at exactly what methods are available for each. Exercise type questions Let's take a look at the specific methods used to create each of these. Examples of exercise-style questions are "using explanations to promote understanding" and "promoting understanding and memory through repetitive learning. Using explanations to promote understanding By showing explanations when answering questions, you can effectively input knowledge. If you answer a question incorrectly, you can cover the missing understanding by looking at the explanation, such as why you made a mistake. By looking at the explanations, you can cover up the lack of understanding. Repeated learning promotes understanding and memory. When a question is solved only once and the answer is correct, there are various levels of retention of understanding by each person, such as "I completely understood the question," "I did not understand the question very well, but I somehow managed to solve it," or "I got the correct answer by intuition. Exercises can strongly promote memory and understanding through repetitive learning by repeatedly solving problems. Test-style questions Let's take a look at the specific methods used to create test-style questions. Setting a Pass Criterion By setting a passing standard for the test, you can establish a pass/fail line. Specifically, the number of points or percentage of correct answers that are considered passing is to be established. The passing criteria will vary depending on the success criteria of the educational effectiveness that the person in charge is looking for. In addition, the level of questions can be adjusted at the question creation stage, so what kind of questions will be asked? What kind of questions will be asked, and what score will be considered a passing score? It is very important to set the level of the questions and the passing score. Setting the Time Limit As with paper-based tests, there is a "time limit" for the test, so it is necessary to set a time limit for the e-Learning test as well. Summary So, in this first part of how to lead your training program to success with e-Learning's question-answering function, we looked at how question-answering is a tool for successful training and education, and what the advantages of each tool are. In the next article, we would like to show you how to actually use the Quizgenerator, the quiz creation function of learningBOX. We hope this will be of some help to the success of your company's training and education.
