The present invention relates to a learning item specifying device and a learning item specifying program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of personal computers and the Internet in recent years, learning modes in which learning is performed while browsing information on a Web page are increasing. The learner performs desired learning based on the information described on the WEB page.

[0003] A company that provides learning contents as contents provides a curriculum so that learning items are provided in one learning field, and by learning each item sequentially, knowledge about the field can be obtained. . For example, each learning item in a certain field is defined as one chapter or section, and a learning course is determined so as to browse sequentially from the first chapter or the first section. By browsing the content along the learning course, the learner can proceed with learning in order from the basic matters. In some cases, a company's training department uses the contents of such a company to train employees.

[0004]

However, if a learner wants to learn only a specific matter in a certain field, not in a certain field, he or she can follow a learning course provided by a trader to obtain desired knowledge. May not be obtained quickly. For example, if a content provider has set up a learning course with many items,
You must search for the desired items. Also,
It is common for a company to charge a fee for browsing content for each learning course. Therefore, the learner
Despite wanting to study only a part of the course, they had to pay for the whole course. For those who want to learn only a specific matter, it may be preferable to view only desired content and pay only for the content.

[0005] As a learning form, there is a form in which learners are gathered in a specific place, and a lecturer gives a lecture or gives guidance to an exercise. Even in such a learning mode, it is preferable that the learner does not participate in all lectures and the like, but only participates in a desired lecture and the like, and pays only a fee for the participation.

It is considered that many people hesitate to pay a fee for unnecessary items, do not browse the contents of the trader, and do not participate in lectures or the like. If such a person can learn only about a desired matter, he or she will learn about the matter and pay a fee to the trader. Therefore, providing contents and the like according to the wishes of the learner would be preferable for the trader.

[0007] Further, the learner can deepen his understanding when browsing the contents of a plurality of traders, rather than browsing only the contents of one trader. When browsing the contents of a plurality of traders, it would be easier to browse if the display style of the contents is uniform. For example, WE of each trader
It would be easier to browse if the background color of the B page screen, the font of the characters, and the like were the same.

[0008] Not only when the learner learns individually, but also when the training department of the company makes the employees learn, not only the learning course specified by the contractor but only the content desired by the training department. It would be preferable to do so. Also, it would be preferable for the training department to make the training styles of the contents themselves uniform for the employees to learn.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, terms used in the description of the present invention are defined. The “learning object” is information to be learned, which is compiled for a specific item. Here, the specific item refers to an item that can be a learning unit when a learner learns step by step in one learning field. For example, when learning in the field of "learning presentation skills", "What kind of presentation methods are available?"
What effects can be obtained when using HP? "
Items such as "What preparations should be made when using OHP?" Can be a learning unit. Information collected for each of these items is a learning object (learning target information). The method of dividing the items to be the learning unit, the title, and the like are determined by a company that provides information to the learner. Hereinafter, the learning object is referred to as LO.

The form of the LO differs depending on the learning method.
For example, when the learner browses and learns the content on the web page, each content grouped for each item becomes the LO. When the learner receives a lecture from the instructor or performs an exercise under the guidance of the instructor, the content of the lecture or instruction per time is LO. It should be noted that a lecture is not only a lecture in which a learner and a lecturer gather at a predetermined place and actually face-to-face, but also the learner and the lecturer exchange information using a communication network such as the Internet. Includes lectures. When the learner uses a book, a CD-ROM, or the like to study, the content described in the book or the information recorded on the CD-ROM or the like becomes the LO.

"Tag information" is information indicating the attribute of each LO. Tag information (attribute information) has one-to-one correspondence with LO. The information included in the tag information includes the title of the LO, the owner name (trader name), the outline of the items learned by the LO, the issue date, the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for accessing the LO, the There are prices. The issuance date is a date when the LO can be viewed when the LO is a content on the WEB page. Also, L
If O is the content of a lecture or the like, the date on which the lecture or the like is announced will be the issue date. Further, the URL is not included in the tag information of the LO that is not browsed on the web page.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a learning item organization system according to the present invention. The learning item organization system includes a learning item specifying device 1, learning information providing devices 11 and 21, and a learner terminal 31 connected via a communication network such as the Internet 51. In the example shown below, a case is shown in which each device is connected via the Internet 51.

The learning information providing apparatuses 11 and 21 hold LOs and tag information corresponding to the LOs. However, the learning information providing devices 11 and 12 do not hold LOs that are not viewed on the WEB page, but hold only corresponding tag information. Each of the learning information providing devices 11 and 21 is L
It is managed by the provider that provides O. Although FIG. 1 shows two learning information providing devices 11 and 21, the number of learning information providing devices is not limited to two. Learning information providing devices 11 and 12
A server 1 stores, for example, an LO and tag information corresponding to the LO. In addition, the learning situation providing devices 11 and 12
1 may be a client that holds the LO and tag information corresponding to the LO.

The learning item identification device 1 receives information on learning items desired by the learner from the learner terminal 31. Then, an LO matching the learner's request is extracted from each of the learning information providing devices 11 and 21, and a web page screen on which a link to each LO is set is presented to the learner. The lecture,
For LOs provided by books, CD-ROMs, etc., information indicating guidance for lectures, books, etc. is presented. In the present embodiment, the learning item specifying device 1 is managed by a third party other than the learner and each trader.

The learner terminal 31 is, for example, a personal computer equipped with a browser. A portable information terminal equipped with a browser may be used. The learner terminal 31 transmits information on a learning item desired by the learner to the learning item specifying device 1 or displays content received via the Internet 51. The learner pays a fee to a provider of the LO as a price for viewing the LO and the like.

In the learning item specifying device 1, the control unit 2
Controls the learning item specifying device 1 according to a program stored in the storage device 3. This program is a program that executes a process of receiving a learning item desired by a learner, selecting an LO, determining an order of LOs to be presented to the learner, transmitting information to the learner terminal 31, and the like.

The network interface unit 5 transmits and receives information to and from the learner terminal 31 and each of the learning information providing devices 11 and 21 via the Internet 51. The input unit 6 is configured by a keyboard, a mouse, and the like, and receives an instruction or the like from an administrator. The output unit 7 is configured by a display device or the like, and outputs various information.

In the database 4, tag information held by each learning information providing device is registered in advance. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of tag information managed by the database 4.
Tag information of one LO includes title, owner, summary,
The date of issue, URL, price, etc. are included. The tag information of LO provided as a book includes ISBN (International Stand
ard Book Number). FIG. 2 shows an example in which two companies (company P and company Q) provide content and the like in the field of “learning presentation skills”. The title is the title of each content browsed on the WEB page or the lecture given by the trader. The overview is an overview of the items learned by the LO. For LOs provided by lectures, etc., outline how to participate in the lectures. For an LO provided by a book or the like, the guide of the book is included in the outline.

If one LO is indicated by a plurality of WEB pages, the URL of each WEB page may be included in one tag information.

The URL is information for specifying the LO serving as the content, and the tag information of the LO that is not browsed on the WEB page does not include the URL. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the LO titled “Exercise (OHP edition)”
This is the content of advice for the student's practice. This L
The URL is not included in the tag information of O. Similarly, CD
-The URL is not included in the tag information of the LO provided by the ROM, the book, or the like.

The administrator of the learning item identification device 1 receives tag information from each trader in advance as electronic data or as information described in a document. The administrator inputs the tag information received from each trader to the learning item specifying device 1 from the input unit 6. The control unit 2 registers the input tag information in the database 4. Alternatively, the learning item specifying device 1 is connected to the learning information providing device 1 via the Internet 51.
The tag information may be received from the database 1 or 21 and registered in the database 4.

The database 4 holds information on the LO selected by the control unit 2 according to the desire of the learner. For example, the control unit 2 executes “Presentation by OHP”, “Preparation for presentation (OHP
), “Exercise (OHP)” or the like, the control unit 2 sets a link to each LO and creates information on a WEB page screen showing guidance such as a lecture. The database 4 holds the information of this screen.

The database 4 includes a W for inputting learning items desired by the learner in addition to tag information and LO-related information.
It also holds information on the EB page screen. Information on various web page screens is in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
Etc. are described in a page description language. Further, the database 4 holds billing information for the learner. The billing information is information on the amount of the LO selected according to the wishes of the learner, and is managed separately for each trader. FIG. 3 is an example of billing information stored in the database 4. The database 4 holds billing information together with information that can identify a learner, such as credit card information.

In the learning information providing devices 11 and 21, the control units 22 and 12 control the learning information providing devices 11 and 21 according to the programs stored in the storage devices 13 and 23. The program is a program that executes transmission of the requested LO and the like. Network interface unit 1
5 and 25 transmit / receive information to / from the learning item specifying device 1 and the learner terminal 31 via the Internet 51.

The databases 14 and 24 hold LOs provided by the companies that manage the learning information providing devices 11 and 21 and tag information corresponding to each LO. For example, if the company that manages the learning information providing device 11 is Company P, the database 14 holds the LO and tag information of Company P. However, the databases 14 and 24 do not hold LOs that are not viewed on the WEB page, but hold only corresponding tag information.

The LO held by the databases 14 and 24
Are information on a web page screen described in a page description language such as HTML, and audio data files and image data files reproduced on the web page screen. The databases 14 and 24 store W as part of the LO.
A program (for example, a JAVA (registered trademark) applet or the like) referred to in the information on the EB page screen may be held.

In the above embodiment, the learning object information receiving means is realized by the control unit 2 and the network interface unit 5. The order determining means, the table of contents screen creating means, the attribute information searching means, and the style changing means are realized by the control unit 2. The attribute information holding unit and the learning target information holding unit are realized by the database 4.

Next, upon receiving the items desired by the learner,
The operation of the learning item organization system when presenting the selected LO will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing progress when the learning item organizing system presents an LO according to a learner's request. First, the learner terminal 31
Requests the learning item specifying device 1 for an input screen for a desired item (step S71),
Transmits the requested input screen (step S7).
2). The learner terminal 31 receives the items desired by the learner and transmits the input information to the learning item identification device 1 (step S73). Items desired by the learner may be input as one or more words, or may be input as sentences. For example, "presentation, OHP" or the like may be input, or "I want to learn about a presentation using OHP."

The control unit 2 of the learning item identification device 1 searches the tag information stored in the database 4 for tag information that includes the item desired by the learner in the "outline" (step S74). The control unit 2 searches not only the tag information of one trader but the tag information of each trader.

For example, if the information "presentation, OHP" is received in step S73, tag information including these words in the outline is detected. If the database 4 holds the tag information illustrated in FIG. 2, the control unit 2 performs “presentation by OHP”, “preparation of presentation (OHP edition)”,
“Exercise (OHP edition)”, “Presentation for internal meeting”, etc. are extracted. If a sentence is received in step S73, the control unit 2 extracts a noun included in the sentence and searches for tag information including the noun in the outline.

The control unit 2 accesses each of the learning information providing devices 11 and 21 using the URL included in each of the tag information retrieved in step S74, and obtains the LO corresponding to each of the tag information.
Is received from each of the learning information providing devices 11 and 21 (step S75). In step S75, the control unit 2 sets L
As O, Web page screen information described in HTML or the like, an audio data file or an image data file reproduced on the screen, a program referred to in the screen information, or the like is received. However, since the LOs that are not browsed on the WEB page do not exist in each of the learning information providing devices 11 and 21, the control unit 2 does not receive these LOs.

Subsequently, the control unit 2 extracts each noun included in the summary and each noun included in the LO received in step S75 for each tag information searched in step S74. Then, the number is measured for each noun (step S76). For example, "OH" illustrated in FIG.
The outline of "Presentation by P" includes "OH
Since nouns such as "P", "film", and "character" are included, these nouns are extracted, and the number of each noun such as "OHP" is measured. Similarly, the number of nouns included in the LO received in step S75 is counted. However, noun extraction
The processing is performed from a part of the LO that is text information.
Specifically, nouns are extracted from information described in HTML or the like, and the number of each noun is measured. Therefore, there is no need to extract nouns that appear as audio or images when the audio data file or the image data file is reproduced.

For the items for which no LO has been received in step S75, the control unit 2 extracts nouns and measures the number only for the outline of the tag information.

Further, for each LO, the control unit 2 calculates the total number of nouns extracted from the summary of the LO and the tag information, and calculates the ratio of each noun to the total number (step S7).
7). That is, the ratio of the number of appearances of each noun to the total number of words used as the noun is obtained for each LO. For example, in the “presentation by OHP” illustrated in FIG. 2, the number of appearances of “OHP”, “film”, “character”, etc., with respect to the total number of nouns appearing in the LO (text information portion) and the outline Find the percentage. Less than,
This ratio is referred to as an appearance frequency.

Subsequently, the control unit 2 determines the order of each LO using the appearance frequency obtained in step S77 (step S78). This order is the order of the LOs to be presented to the learner. The control unit 2 calculates the appearance frequency of the word received in step S73 or the word included in the sentence as L
Check for each O and determine the order in ascending order of appearance frequency. For example, the order is determined by arranging the appearance frequency of the word “OHP” in each item in ascending order. Step S7
In step 3, when a sentence including a plurality of words or a plurality of nouns is received, the order is determined based on the appearance frequency of any one word (noun).

L where the frequency of appearance of the word input by the learner is high
O is considered to include many items that the learner has not yet learned. When such LO is presented first,
There is a high possibility that the learner will learn from items that are difficult. In particular, when a learner wants to learn a specialized matter, often the learner's understanding is not accompanied by presenting the LO in which the technical terms input by the learner have a high appearance frequency. Therefore, it is desirable to present the words input by the learner in ascending order of appearance frequency, and to present LO stepwise in the order of appearance frequency. Therefore, step S7
In step 8, the order of LOs is determined in ascending order of appearance frequency.

After step S78, control unit 2 sets W
The style of each LO shown as an EB page is aligned (step S79). For example, the background color, font, etc. of the screen of each LO are unified. The style of the background color and the like is described in a page description language such as HTML, and the control unit 2 performs, in each LO received from the learning information providing devices 11 and 21,
The style is made uniform by rewriting the description that defines the background color and font. Further, in step S79, the control unit 2 stores the LOs in which the styles have been aligned in the database 4, and sets the URLs required for browsing the LOs to L.
Determined for each O. When one LO is indicated by a plurality of WEB pages and a link is set between the WEB pages, the description of the link setting is rewritten using the URL of the WEB page stored in the database 4.

Subsequently, the control unit 2 determines the order of each LO
The information of the WEB page screen serving as a table of contents sequentially showing the titles is created (step S80). In the title displayed as the table of contents, a link is set using the URL of the LO after the styles are arranged. That is, when the title is clicked with the mouse, the information on the table of contents is created so that the LO after the styles are displayed. A number indicating a chapter or section may be sequentially added before each title so that the title is displayed together with the chapter number or the like. The control section 2
For an LO having no RL, screen information is created so that an outline is displayed below the title without setting a link. FIG. 5 is an example of a table of contents screen displayed based on information created by the control unit 2. In FIG. 5, the underlined title is a place where a link is set. WEB
There is no URL in the LO that is not browsed on the page, and instead of setting a link, an outline indicating a method of participating in the lecture is displayed.

Further, the control unit 2 controls the W
Create information on the EB page screen. The control unit 2 creates, for example, information on a screen displaying the word extracted in step S76 as information on the index screen, and sets a link between each word displayed as an index and a screen on which the word appears. . Further, the control unit 2 creates screen information of a WEB page serving as a cover, and on this screen,
Set a link to the screen that serves as a table of contents and the screen that serves as an index.

Further, the control unit 2 performs the same display as the table of contents created in step S80, and creates information of a table of contents screen in which a link to the LO is not set (step S81). Further, the control unit 2 extracts the price of each LO from the tag information, and calculates the total amount of LOs for each trader and the total amount of all LOs displayed in the table of contents. The control unit 2 adds message information indicating that the LO can be browsed by paying the total amount of all the LOs, to the table of contents screen where no link is set. FIG. 6 is an example of the table of contents screen created in step S81. The example shown in FIG. 6 shows a screen in which the input of credit card information is requested, and the browsing of the LO is permitted when the learning item support device 1 receives the credit card information. When creating the table of contents screen in which the link to the LO is not set, the control unit 2 transmits information on the screen to the learner terminal 31.

The learner terminal 31 displays a table of contents screen in which no link to the LO is set. Then, when the information indicating that the user agrees to pay the fee is input, the information is transmitted to the learning item specifying device 1 (step S82). The control unit 2 receives, for example, credit card information as information indicating that the user agrees to pay the fee, and registers the information in the database 4. At this time, the control unit 2 registers the total amount of LO for each trader calculated in step S81 as billing information together with credit card information and the like as illustrated in FIG.

Subsequently, the control unit 2 transmits the information of the cover screen created in step S80 to the learner terminal 31, and the learner terminal 31 displays the cover screen (step S80).
83). The learner terminal 31 requests the corresponding web page screen to the learning item specifying device 1 every time the place where the link is set is clicked with the mouse.
Transmits the table of contents screen and the WEB page screen of each LO in the same format in response to this request. The learner terminal 31 uses the LO
Is received and displayed (step S84). The learner proceeds with learning by browsing the WEB page screen in order from the LO shown as the first chapter in the table of contents. If no link is set on the table of contents, the user participates in a lecture or the like according to the information displayed below the title. The administrator or each company adjusts the fee based on the accounting information registered in the database 4.

According to the learning item organizing system as described above, the learning item specifying device 1 extracts tag information corresponding to the item desired by the learner, and retrieves the LO corresponding to the tag information.
Create a table of contents screen showing only Therefore, the learner can learn only desired items by learning along the items shown in the table of contents screen, and searches for a desired item from a learning course determined by a trader as in the past. Eliminates the need. Further, the learner can use only the required LO and pay only the fee for the LO. Therefore, there is no need to pay for unnecessary items, and the financial burden on the learner is reduced.

Further, since the used LO is charged on a pay-per-use basis, there is an increase in the use opportunities of those who are reluctant to pay for the entire learning course. As a result, the profit of each trader also increases.

The control unit 2 does not have to arrange the style such as the background color for each LO. In this case, the control unit 2
Is the title of the table of contents screen created in step S80, the L held by each of the learning information providing devices 11 and 21.
A link to O may be set. When setting a link to the LO in each learning information providing apparatus, the URL in the tag information stored in the database 4 may be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, step S
At 74, the case where the control unit 2 searches for tag information that includes the item specified by the learner in the “summary” is shown. The database 4 may hold in advance a portion of the LO that is text information together with the tag information. Then, in step S74, a search may be made for the tag information including the text information of each LO and the item specified in the “summary”.

In the above embodiment, the case where the learning item specifying device 1 is managed by a third party has been described. However, the learning item specifying device 1 is realized by a personal computer having a browser, It may be managed by itself. Then, the learning item specifying device 1 may input items desired by the learner from the input unit 6 and output to the output unit 7 various WEB page screens to be presented to the learner.

In this example, the case where the learner pays the fee by using the credit card has been described, but the fee may be paid by another method. Also, in the above description,
Although the case where the presentation skill is learned has been illustrated, the present invention can be applied to a case where a learning item in another field is presented to a learner.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the learning item organization system in this embodiment is the same as the case illustrated in FIG. However,
A person who inputs desired learning items is different from a person who actually learns, and the learner proceeds with learning of items determined by a person other than the learner. Here, the person who determines the learning items is, for example,
This is a training section of a company, and the learner is, for example, an employee. In this embodiment, the learning item identification device 1 is managed by a person who determines learning items. Hereinafter, a case where the learning item identification device 1 is managed by a training section of a company will be described as an example.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of the processing progress when the learning item organization system presents an LO according to the input items. Items to be made to be learned by the employee are input to the learning item specifying device 1 by the training section (step S91). As in the case of step S73, the learning items may be input as one or more words, or may be input as sentences.

The control unit 2 searches for tag information including the input items (step S92), and receives the LO corresponding to the tag information from each of the learning information providing devices 11 and 21 (step S93). Subsequently, the control unit 2 measures the number of nouns in the tag information and the LO (step S94),
The appearance frequency of each noun is calculated (step S95). Then, the order of LOs is determined using the appearance frequency (step S
96). The operations in steps S92 to S96 are the same as the operations in steps S74 to S78.

Subsequently, the control unit 2 arranges the styles of the LOs in the same manner as in step S79 (step S97). The control unit 2 may be designated in advance by the training department with a background color or the like to be unified. Further, it may be specified in advance that a predetermined word in the LO is replaced with another word. For example, the word used in the LO may be specified in advance to be replaced with another wording used in the company. In this case, the word is replaced in the part that is the text information.
