The time from when the “start” operation is performed until the “node information” relating to this unit is transmitted to the management server 3, that is, the time taken by the student from the start to the end of the lesson of one unit. 3 shows the actual value of the attendance time measured. The procedure for creating a learning schedule for each student will be described later.

The student-specific note DB (C) is a database in which the “note information” is registered for each student.
An example of the data structure of the student-specific note DB (C) is shown in FIG. The student-specific note DB (C) is associated with the course ID (K13) and the unit code (K15) that the student has taken for each student ID (K10) of the student. Date of receipt of “note information” (K20), type code (K21), file name (K22) in which data relating to “note information” is stored in the external storage device of the management server 3 as a file, Information "is read by other students and some advice (advice information) is posted to the management server 3, the date of receipt (post) of this advice information (K23), the student ID who is the poster of this advice information (K24), the file name (K25) stored in the external storage device of the management server 3 as a file with the data relating to the “advice information”, etc. It is a database.

  In this e-learning system, when the student transmits “note information” to the management server 3, the management server 3 determines that this unit is finished. Therefore, even if the student views the teaching material video, if the “note information” is not created and transmitted to the management server 3, the unit attendance is not completed.

  The type code (K21) registered in the student-specific note DB (C) described above indicates that when the student transmits "note information" to the management server 3, the "note information" Information relating to whether or not viewing by other students is permitted via the e-learning system (whether or not to disclose) is registered. In the present e-learning system, the “note information” that is “open” can be viewed from the student terminal 1 by other students. Furthermore, when another student who has browsed this “note information” sends (posts) information on some advice to the management server 3 in response to this “note information”, the management server 3 indicates the received date as a student. In the reception date column (K23) of the separate note DB (C), the ID of the student who has posted this advice information is entered in the student ID column (K24), and the file name storing this advice information is the advice information. Processing to store in the storage file name column (K25) is performed.

  As described above, in the e-learning system of the present invention, the “note information” created by the student taking one unit is transmitted to the management server 3 together with the information indicating whether or not the student has specified disclosure. ing. Then, the “note information” that is set to “open” can be viewed by other students from the student terminal 1, and other students who have viewed this “note information” The advice information can be posted to the management server 3. Furthermore, in the e-learning system of the present invention, when other students post advice information to the “note information” that the student can publish, the permitted learner can send the advice information via a web page. Can be viewed.

  As described above, the e-learning system of the present invention is characterized in that other students can post advice information for “note information” which is set to “open”. Because of this feature, students can obtain various information from other students about how to teach as a lecturer by browsing other students' "note information" and advice information. As described above, it is possible to further improve the effect of training the instructor.

  The operation of the student inputting this “note information” and transmitting it to the management server 3 will be described later. However, the “note information” can be input not only text information but also table and graphic data. Thus, it is possible to create “note information” with more substantial contents, and the effect is that it is greatly helpful when other students browse.

  The sample note DB (D) uses the name of the file storing the data of the sample information (sample note information) for the “note information” transmitted by the student to the management server 3 as the course name (course ID) is a database registered corresponding to the unit code (K15) of the grade (K2) of ID. Students create “note information” by browsing this “sample node information” and referencing this “sample node information” or modifying part of it. This makes it possible to avoid the heavy burden of creating “note information”.

  For each student ID (K10), the student point DB (E), for example, the point information given to the following point types and points given to the student by the e-learning system, It is a database that registers the cumulative value of numbers. In this system, when the student performs any of the following operations, the management server 3 assigns a predetermined point to the student and stores the result in the student-specific point DB (E). Like to do.

Do not enter.

  Then, the management server 3 sets a file name for storing the received advice information and stores it in the external storage device, and stores this file name in the storage file name field (K25) of the student-specific note DB (C). Perform the registration process. In addition, a process of registering the date of receiving this advice information in the received date (K23) and the ID of the student who has input (posted) the advice information in the poster (student ID column) (K24) is performed. Further, the management server 3 gives points (advice points) to this contributor, such as advice point addition processing for the student ID corresponding to this contributor in the student-specific point DB (E). Update processing is performed.

  Next, with regard to “note information” that the student has made “open”, when other students have posted advice information, students who have made “note information” “open” view this advice information. The procedure for doing this will be described.

  As described above, when the student accesses the classroom web page (W2), the display area (t21) of the classroom web page (W2) shown in FIG. ) List is displayed. As a list of the advice information, the posting date of the advice information (the reception date of the management server 3), the poster who posted the advice information, the name of the course that is the subject of the advice information, the unit name, and the like are displayed. In addition, a “view” button (t21a) is arranged on the right side of each list. When the student clicks one of the “view” buttons (t21a), the management server 3 refers to the student-specific note DB (C), and displays an advice information display Web page (see FIG. 15). Processing for displaying W5) is performed. Students can check what advice information other students have posted on their “note information” by browsing the advice information display Web page (W5). You will be able to communicate and communicate with each other. The e-learning system may further have a bulletin board function that allows a student who has browsed the advice information to send a comment to the student who has posted the advice information.

  Next, functions provided in the display areas t3 and t4 of the classroom Web page (W2), which is one of the features of the e-learning system of the present invention, will be described.

  The management server 3 displays a design such as a predetermined character design or a specific design (for example, a pencil) in the display area t3 of the classroom Web page (W2) shown in FIG. Then, the management server 3 at a preset timing from the access of the classroom web page (W2) from the student terminal 1 to the end of the distribution of the unit teaching material video (or leaving school). Then, a process for determining whether or not a preset condition is satisfied is performed. When it is determined that a preset condition is satisfied, a process of displaying the symbol displayed in the display area t3 as a moving image with movement is performed. At this time, a predetermined voice or sound effect may be output from the student terminal 1. When this symbol is displayed as a moving image, a process for displaying a predetermined message as text information in the message information display area t4a is performed. In the example shown in FIG. 9, “Today's schedule has ended. The message information displayed in the message information display area t4a may also be controlled to be displayed together with the sound.

  Then, when this message information is displayed, as shown in the impression input area t4b, for example, there are three kinds of “good”, “so-so”, and “bad” as shown in the impression input area t4b. Let them choose one. Information indicating the current feeling of the student with respect to the message information is acquired in the comment input area t4b. In addition, a more specific present impression about the message information is input to the display area t5. Subsequently, when the student clicks the “Send” button (t6), the information input by the student is transmitted to the management server 3 and stored in the teacher message reaction table (K).

  Thus, the management server 3 is provided with means for acquiring the student's current feelings and impressions with respect to the message information displayed in the message information display area t4a by inputting them into the impression input area t4b and the display area t5. Is stored in the teacher message reaction table (K), it becomes possible to analyze what feelings the student has on the date of attendance and the attendance of each unit. Further, by setting in advance a large number of timings for displaying the symbols displayed in the display area t3 as moving images with slight movement and the contents of the message information displayed in the message information display area t4a, t4 will be able to give the students the desire to continue with the eLearning system, and when students become lecturers at the cram school, On the other hand, you will be able to learn what language should be used at what timing. The functions provided in the display areas t3 and t4 of the classroom web page (W2) may be provided also in the consultation room web page (W1).

  FIG. 17 shows an example of the timing for displaying message information in the message information display area t4a and the content of the message information. By registering the information shown in FIG. 17 in the message table (J) shown in FIG. 3, an appropriate message is sent to the classroom Web page (W2) or the consultation room according to the progress of the student's unit. Therefore, the above-described effects including the effect of improving enthusiasm for attendance are produced. For example, when the student has not taken a class for five days, the message information display area t4a displays the message information for encouraging and encouraging the student.

  Note that the symbols displayed in the display area t3 are displayed as moving images with a slight movement, and the message information is displayed at the timing of the student attending the class as shown in FIG. When logging in to the Web page (W2), starting a course for one unit, finishing a course for one unit, starting a course for the next unit, ending a course, etc. The message information (line) that is set in advance and displayed at this time is as shown in FIG. This message information mainly sets a greeting word, a word of encouragement, a word that compliments the student's efforts to attend the class, and the like.

  The management server 3 determines, for example, whether or not the timing registered in the message table (J) at a predetermined time interval for the student terminal 1 that has accessed the management server 3 has been established. When the above condition is satisfied, the message information display area t4a is controlled to display the message information registered in the message table (J) corresponding to the predetermined condition in the message information display area t4a.

[Procedure for creating attendance schedule]
Next, in the e-learning system of the present invention, a procedure for creating a course schedule (study schedule) related to a daily unit of a student by a course schedule creation program provided in the management server 3 will be described.

In the e-learning system of the present invention, the management server 3 performs a process of creating a daily attendance schedule for a unit set in a student's attendance course at the following timing.
(1) When a student who has registered as a user acquires information on the desired attendance time for the course from the consultation room Web page (W1) shown in FIG. 7 for the first time. At this time, a process is performed to create a course schedule from the date on which the information about the desired class hours for each day of the week is acquired. You may make it perform the process to produce.

  (2) When the student clicks the “go to school” button (t4 or t11) displayed on the Web page shown in FIG. 7 (or FIG. 9 or FIG. 16) when the class of the day is finished. In this process, the attendance record up to the day for the attendance schedule of the attendee is determined with reference to the attendance schedule DB (B) for each attendee, and the attendance schedule from the next day is recreated.

  (3) When the student accesses the consultation room web page (W1) (see FIGS. 7 and 16) from the classroom web page (W2) and corrects the desired attendance time for each day of the week, With reference to the attendance schedule DB (B), etc., the process of re-creating the attendance schedule from that day or the next day is performed for the attendance of the unattended unit.

  When the student accesses the consultation room web page (W1), the management server 3 refers to the desired student attendance table (H) and displays the consultation room web page (W1) shown in FIG. At (t1), a process of displaying a desired attendance plan that is the attendance time (minutes) for each day of the week for each course that the attendee attends is performed. When the student wants to correct the desired course plan, the student corrects the attendance time and clicks the “Send” button (t2). By this operation, the corrected desired attendance time for each day of the week is transmitted to the management server 3, and the management server 3 updates the data related to the desired attendance time already registered in the desired attendance attendance table (H) for this attendee. Perform the process. Subsequently, the management server 3 performs a process of creating a course schedule from the current day or the next day for the unit that the student has not taken yet. Note that the display contents of the display areas (t1a) and (t1b) in FIG. 16 indicate locations where corrections have been input for the desired course plan of the student shown in FIG.

  At the timings described in (1) to (3) above, the student can create a schedule (schedule for attendance) according to the following procedure using the attendance schedule creation program.

(Procedure 1)
A calendar (year / month / day and day of week) two to three months ahead is created and stored in the storage device from the scheduled start date (the day when the schedule is created or the next day). For each day of the month that becomes the calendar data, a process for storing the attendance time for each day of the week that is the desired attendance time of this attendee registered in the desired attendance attendance table (H) for each attendee is performed. Do.

(Procedure 2)
For the calendar created in the above (procedure 1), it is determined whether or not the desired attendance time is memorized (the attendance time is other than “0”) sequentially from the scheduled attendance start date. If a value other than “0” is stored as the desired attendance time, the unit with the smallest unit code (unit number) is set as the unit scheduled for attendance on the day of the course that has not been taken. (Assign). In this process, when the student plans to take a course for the course for the first time (the above timing 1), a process for setting the smallest unit code of the course as a unit for the course scheduled for the day is performed. In addition, when the attendance schedule of the already created student is corrected (timing 2 or 3 above), the attendee's attendance schedule DB (B) of the attendee is referred to, and the unit among the un attended units The unit with the smallest code (unit number) is set as the schedule for the day.

(Procedure 3)
In the above (Procedure 2), when the processing set as the unit of the scheduled attendance for the day is performed, the student is registered in the standard study time table (F) from the desired attendance time value proposed for the day of the week. If the standard course time value of this unit is subtracted, and the value of the subtraction result remains for a predetermined time value or more (for example, 5 minutes or more), the following processing is performed.

  (1) If the student has applied for other courses, the unit of the other courses is set as the schedule for the day according to the procedure described in (Procedure 2). . As a result of performing the process described in (1), if there is a remaining desired time value that exceeds the predetermined time value, the unit of the course that has a high priority of assignment among the plurality of courses Is further set as the schedule for the day.

  (2) If the student has applied for only one course, the same as the procedure in (Procedure 2) above, the unit code of the next largest unit code that has not been taken on that day Perform the process of setting a unit as an attendance schedule. As a result of performing the processing described in (2), if there is a remaining time exceeding the predetermined time value in the desired attendance time value, the unit code of the next largest unit code among those not yet attended on that day is further displayed. Perform the process of setting a unit as an attendance schedule.

(Procedure 4)
Subsequently, the calendar date is advanced one day, and the above steps (procedure 2) to (procedure 3) are repeated with respect to the date advanced one day, and the unit code values of the courses are ordered in ascending order. , And run until the last untaken unit code is set to the calendar date as the schedule.
And after performing the process which memorize | stores the unit code allocated to the calendar by the process of said (procedure 2)-(procedure 4) in a memory | storage device corresponding to a date (scheduled attendance date), these A process of registering information in the attendance schedule DB (B) for each attendee as the attendance schedule for the attendee is performed.

(Procedure 5)
In addition, when re-creating the course schedule at the above timing 2, refer to the course schedule DB (B) for each student, and the number of days that this student's course record is delayed or delayed If the degree of delay exceeds a predetermined value, refer to the desired attendance table by student (H), for example, on the day of the week when the desired attendance time is “0”. You may make it perform the process which assigns the unit, and re-creates the attendance schedule. Alternatively, if the desired attendance time is less than the predetermined time, for example, the attendance schedule is recreated by adding 15 minutes.

Further, regarding the cumulative value (A) up to the day of the desired attendance time value proposed by the student and the cumulative value (B) of the actual attendance time up to the day of the student, the value of (B / A) is, for example, In the case of 0.7 or less, processing for increasing the desired attendance time value for each day of the week by a predetermined ratio (for example, 30%) may be performed. Then, based on the increased desired attendance time value for each day of the week, the attendance schedule for the attendee is recreated.
If the above schedule is recreated, for example, an e-mail notifying the student's attendance terminal device that "the attendance has been delayed, so the desired attendance time value for each day has been increased" The student accesses the consultation room Web page and confirms the changed learning time for each day of the week and the attendance schedule of a unit that has not been attended.

  The attendance schedule (learning schedule) for each attendance course created by the above-described procedure is not shown, but for example, after the second page of the consultation room web page (W1) shown in FIG. 16, or for the classroom As a scheduled attendance calendar showing the date and day of the week on the Web page linked from the Web page (W2) or the consultation room Web page (W1), Display the unit name. Then, when the displayed “taken course and its unit name” is clicked, it is linked to the classroom web page (W2), so that the class corresponding to the unit clicked by the student can be taken. This makes it possible to view the unit teaching material video set in the course that the student has applied for in advance at any time, so that the effect of e-learning can be improved.

  When the student finishes viewing the teaching material video (learning the class) and clicks the “Note Open” button switch (t9) on the classroom web page (W2), the server 3 records the student-specific note DB ( For C), it is determined whether or not this student has already taken the lesson of this unit. If it is the first attendance, processing for displaying the note information acquisition Web page shown in FIG. 12 on the attendee terminal 1 of the attendee is performed. On the other hand, if it has already been taken, the “note information” stored in this file is referred to by referring to the storage file name (K22) of the note information registered in the student-specific note DB (C). Is displayed on the display area (t30) of the note information acquisition Web page (W3). Subsequently, the student transmits the information corrected or added to the previous “note information” displayed in the display area (t 30) to the server 3. Based on this, the server 3 performs processing for registering the updated “note information” in the student-specific note DB (C). Thereby, when a student takes a lesson of the same unit and transmits "note information" to the server 3, the latest "note information" is registered in the student-specific note DB (C). Become. It should be noted that appropriate processing such as point processing given to the student at this time, that is, no note submission points are given.

  In addition, the management server 3 is provided with attendance record analysis means for analyzing the attendance record for the student's daily attendance schedule grasped by the attendance record grasping means and transmitting the analysis result to the terminal device 2 of the administrator. Good. As described above, the analysis processing of the attendance record is performed by the number of days that the attendance record of the student is delayed from the scheduled attendance on the analysis date, or the unit that is delayed, or the total desired attendance time of the attendee and the learner's Rank the evaluations of attendance results by finding the ratio with attendance record time, etc. Then, the administrator of the e-learning system transmits an encouraging e-mail to the student terminal 1 based on the evaluation of the student's attendance record. By providing such attendance record analysis means, the communication between students and managers will be improved, so that students will have a strong desire to attend classes using this e-learning system according to their schedule. become able to.

The above-described embodiment of the e-learning system of the present invention has been described by taking a system for training instructors such as a cram school as an example, but the present invention is not limited to various training sessions, training of teachers of schools, etc. For example, it can be used as an e-learning system for elementary school students to high school students to study each department at home.
Moreover, although the example in which the video data for teaching materials is stored in the video server 4 has been described, the video data for teaching materials may be stored in the management server 3.

  When the e-learning system of the present invention is constructed as an e-learning system for studying each department at home for elementary school students to high school students, for example, when the following means 1 or 2 is adopted, The effect can be improved.
