Can be widely distributed. Since the teaching material content exists separately from the teaching material creating function and the attending function, for example, English teaching material content for a second-year junior high school created by a teacher at a certain school can be used at schools nationwide.

Further, by separating the teaching material content from the teaching material creating function and the attending function, the configuration of the teaching material content is greatly simplified, and even a person without Internet technology can easily create the teaching material. Since the teaching material content itself exists in the form of simple data, the content can be easily added or improved to the existing teaching material content. For example, based on teaching materials created by a certain English teacher, it is easy for English teachers from all over the country to jointly expand (change / add) teaching material content.

Since the teaching material content has a standard interface, the teaching material creating function and the attending function are not specified. As a result, the commercialization of the teaching material creation function and the attending function is independent of the value of the teaching material content itself. Therefore, the teaching material creation / attending function and the teaching material content are independently developed, and the shortage of the Web teaching material is solved at a stretch.

That is, by setting the teaching material content in a standard format of a data format separated from the Web display function and the operating function, anyone can easily create the teaching material content and distribute the created teaching material widely.

Further, the teaching material provision management system and the teaching material provision management method of the present invention have a function of uploading and registering the teaching material via the Internet, downloading and purchasing the registered teaching material, and widely distributing the teaching material in the standard format. Can be distributed.

Also, since it has a function of creating teaching materials via the Internet and attending the registered teaching materials via the Internet, anyone can easily create and take the teaching materials without the software for creating the teaching materials or the software for attending the teaching materials. You can also.

In the business model of the present invention, by preparing a teaching material provision management system and a teaching material provision management method utilizing such features, anyone can easily use the created teaching material contents, and the user can use the teaching material content in the teaching material. The contents of the teaching material contents can be enriched by modifying them. Further, the content can be re-registered and shared by many users, or a plurality of users can collaboratively create and use the teaching material content. By creating the teaching materials in a standard format and opening them, the creation of the teaching materials is accelerated, and the shortage of the Web teaching materials is solved at a stretch.
