Description

  The present invention relates to a learning support program and a learning support device that support learning of a learning target person such as a junior high school student or a high school student.

  Conventionally, as a method of off-campus learning, for example, a correspondence learning type out-of-campus school where learning according to the content of the textbook used in the school class is used, and learning according to the school class is performed. There was a learning method. Correspondence learning, which is one of the off-campus learning methods, differs from the method in which teachers and instructors provide direct instruction to the person being studied. Can receive.

  Conventionally, there has been an out-of-school learning method that supports learning of a learning target person using learning content reproduced on a terminal device operated by the learning target person as a teaching material. For example, the terminal device used for learning by such an out-of-school learning method proceeds with learning by selecting an answer to a problem presented by reproducing the learning content from choices set in advance in the learning content. There was something like that.

  Further, as an out-of-school learning method using a terminal device, specifically, conventionally, a handwritten solution to a question received from a user is stored as vector data, pattern recognition of the stored handwritten solution vector data is performed, and pattern recognition is performed. There has been an out-of-school learning method using a learning system that displays a determination result of determining whether the answer is correct (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).

JP 2008-241736 A

  However, the above-described conventional out-of-school learning method is used even when the learning target person learns using the same textbook, even though the progress of learning such as the degree of understanding of the learning content differs depending on the learning target person. Whether it is a school-based learning method using a paper medium or a school-based learning method using a terminal device, the content of the teaching material used for learning only needs to be matched to the content of the teaching material such as a textbook. There was a problem that it was difficult to perform detailed learning according to.

The various databases included in the correspondence education system 100 are not limited to those included in the same computer device or storage device, and may be included in different computer devices or storage devices, and some databases may be stored in different computers. A device or a storage device may be provided.

(Educational material database)
FIG. 3A is an explanatory diagram of an example of the teaching material database. 3A, the teaching material database 310 stores learning content for each subject. FIG. 3A illustrates a mathematical teaching material database 310. The learning material database 310 further stores the learning contents classified for each subject according to the learning materials that the learning target person uses in school classes or the like. The teaching material can be realized by, for example, a textbook used by a subject of learning in a school class.

  The learning material database 310 further stores the learning contents classified according to the learning materials for each course. The courses are divided based on the units edited in the teaching materials, and have a certain set of learning contents. Each course in the teaching material database 310 is classified according to the contents of teaching materials such as textbooks. The course is basically the same as the unit edited in the teaching material, the amount of learning in the same unit is large, and if the learning content of the same unit is combined into one, the playback time per learning content is extremely long. In the case of learning content, a plurality may be set for the same unit.

  In addition, the teaching material database 310 stores information related to a unit (course) in learning content, a theme for each unit (course), and information related to learning content in the unit (course) in association with each other. In addition, the teaching material database 310 stores information related to the grade level of each learning content in association with each unit (course). The enrollment grade indicates the grade in which the learning of the content of each learning content is taken at the school.

  Since the learning materials are edited according to the grade of the learning target person, the learning content in the learning material database 310 is classified and stored for each grade (hierarchy) of the learning target person by classifying according to the learning material edited according to the grade. Has been. The hierarchy of the learning target person may be realized by, for example, the rank or age in addition to the grade of the learning target person.

  Furthermore, the teaching material database 310 may store information related to the learning month of each learning content in association with each unit (course). The course month indicates the month (scheduled month) in which the student learns the content of each learning content. The course months can be assigned sequentially from the top of the learning material according to the order edited in the learning material such as a textbook.

  In the distance learning system 100, for example, for courses such as “Society”, the course contents are organized for each unit, and the subjects that do not need to be coordinated with other units are not highly recommended. Priority is given to setting contents of a subscriber database, which will be described later. In the distance learning system 100, for example, the study months of subjects that require accumulation of knowledge, such as “mathematics” and “science”, are in the order of editing in teaching materials such as textbooks corresponding to the subjects, etc. It is assigned uniquely according to

  Each learning content divided into units (courses) is in a format that can be played back using a course playback application installed in the operation terminal 120, and includes various data such as characters (text), still images, and voices. It is constituted by. Each learning content may include video (moving image) data.

  Specifically, each learning content of the embodiment according to the present invention can be configured by, for example, “question / answer” content. The question and answer content can be realized by a problem related to the content to be learned in each learning content, and text data or image data indicating the answer to the question.

  The teaching material database 310 stores problem content related to the content of the course for each course. The teaching material database 310 stores a plurality of problem contents having different degrees of difficulty and importance for each course. The degree of difficulty represents the degree of difficulty. For example, in the case of a subject such as mathematics or science, it can be set based on the answer rate (correct answer rate). In the distance learning system 100, the difficulty level can be arbitrarily set by the administrator of the distance learning system 100 based on, for example, the results of a nationwide unified test performed in the past.

  Specifically, for example, the problem content of “Mathematics” is based on the difficulty level that should be understood at the minimum in the corresponding textbook (course), the difficulty level problem (standard problem) as the standard, and the standard level Content related to multiple problems with different levels of difficulty, such as problems that are more difficult (problem development problems) than problems of difficulty, and problems that are less difficult than basic problems (basic problems) can do. More specifically, for example, in a mathematical problem, a simple calculation problem is regarded as a low difficulty problem (basic problem), and a text problem solved using a basic formula is used as a standard difficulty problem (standard). And a sentence problem that is solved by combining a plurality of formulas can be a difficult problem (development problem).

  Specifically, for example, the problem content of “Society (History)” is based on the historical facts that must be memorized in the year of historical facts and the importance of the question that asks the year. The question of standard importance (standard question), the question of more detailed content than the relevant question, the less important issue (development issue), the question of the importance of the standard question The contents can be related to a plurality of problems of different importance such as a frequently-occurring problem (basic problem).

  Specifically, for example, the question content of “English” asks the question that the word other than the word appears or the answer in English, based on the importance of the question that asks about the word that appears in the corresponding textbook. Content related to multiple problems with different importance, such as problems with less importance than the problem (development problems), problems with the basic importance of the standard (problems with high questions) (basic problems) Can do.

  Each learning content may include “work” content for the purpose of deepening the understanding of what the learning target person learns in each learning content. The “work” content can be realized by text data or image data explaining the content to be learned in each learning content.

  Further, the teaching material database 310 stores problem content for determination used for determination of the degree of understanding regarding the content of the course for each course. The question content for determination is content that asks the degree of understanding of the standard difficulty or importance problem, and a predetermined number is set for each course. The question content for determination may be realized by the question content of the standard difficulty or the difficulty level that is set as a standard for each course.

  Learning of each unit (course) is completed when reproduction of one learning content is completed using a course reproduction application installed in the operation terminal 120. The playback time per one learning content can be set in advance by the administrator (service provider) of the correspondence education system 100 in consideration of the concentration of the person to be learned.

  Specifically, each learning content can be configured such that, for example, the playback time per time is within a predetermined time (for example, about 20 minutes). By setting the playback time of each learning content to a length (for example, about 20 minutes) that takes into account the concentration of the learning target person, the learning target person is not bored during learning, Learning can be performed reliably.

  In the case of learning content composed of “work” content, “question” content, and “answer” content, for example, the playback time per time of “work” content may be set to about 10 minutes. Thereby, the time for answering the question is not limited, and the problem can be tackled according to the ability of the person to be learned.

  In addition, the teaching material database 310 stores learning content of exercises centered on answering questions. Specifically, the learning content for the exercises is memorized content such as “Kanken drill”, which asks for understanding of reading and writing kanji, English words, social (history) year, and social (geographic) place names. It can be realized by "Memorization card" that asks. The learning content of the exercise problem does not include work, and can be configured by the problem and the answer to the problem.

(Subscriber database)
FIG. 3-2 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the subscriber database. 3-2, the subscriber database 320 stores information related to the progress of the learning for each course and the identification information of the learning target person in association with each other. That is, the subscriber database 320 stores information related to the progress of the learning for each course in association with the identification information of the learning target person.

  The identification information of the learning target person is information unique to each learning target person, and can be realized by, for example, a member number composed of a character string such as an alphabet or a numeral having an arbitrary number of digits. The information related to the learning progress status represents the learning progress status, and can be realized by, for example, information related to the learning history reproduction history. The reproduction history of the learning content can be realized by, for example, identification information of the reproduced learning content and information regarding the reproduction date / time of the learning content.

  The learning content playback history includes information that indicates whether each learning content has been played through from the beginning to the end, how far it has been played if it is halfway, and information about the date and time of playback. You may go out. Further, the learning content reproduction history may indicate only whether or not each learning content has been reproduced.

  Moreover, the information regarding the progress of learning may represent, for example, an understanding level (score) for each course. The degree of understanding for each course can be realized by, for example, information indicating the answer rate (correct answer rate) of each learning subject with respect to the questions presented to the learning subject by reproducing the learning content of each course.

  When the same learning content is reproduced a plurality of times, the subscriber database 320 stores the degree of understanding (score) of the most recently reproduced learning content. When the same learning content is reproduced a plurality of times, the subscriber database 320 may store an understanding level (score) of the learning content for each reproduction date and time of the learning content.

  In addition, the subscriber database 320 stores information related to teaching materials used by the learning target person and identification information of the learning target person in association with each other. The information regarding the learning material used by the person to be learned can be realized by identification information of the learning material, for example. The identification information of the learning material is information unique to each learning material, and can be realized by, for example, a character string such as an alphabet or a number having an arbitrary number of digits different from the identification information of the learning target person. Thereby, it becomes possible to provide the learning content according to the study content in the school of the person to be learned.

  The information regarding the learning material used by the person to be learned can be set via the operation terminal 120 by performing a predetermined input operation on the operation terminal 120, for example. Or the information regarding the teaching materials used by the person to be learned may be set by an administrator of the correspondence education system 100 by accepting an application upon enrollment in the correspondence education system 100, for example.

  Information on the learning materials used by the learner is, for example, information about the school name (or school identification information) of the study target person or information about the school district (or school district identification information) of the study target person. May be. In this case, in addition to the subscriber database 320, the distance learning system 100 includes information on school names (or school identification information) or school district information (or school district identification information), and information on teaching materials used by the learner. Are stored in association with each other.

  The subscriber database 320 may store information regarding the month of study. The subscriber database 320 stores information related to the course month and information related to the title in association with each other. The information on the title indicates the title of the chapter or edition edited in the teaching material for each teaching material such as a textbook specified by the information on the teaching material.

  The subscriber database 320 may store information related to the number of pages in which chapters and editions are edited in addition to the information related to the title or instead of the information related to the title. In this case, in the subscriber database 320, information on the number of pages in which chapters and editions are edited can be realized by information indicating the start page and the last page of each chapter or each edition, for example. Alternatively, in this case, the subscriber database 320 may include information on the number of pages in which chapters or editions are edited, for example, the start page of each chapter or each edition and the amount of the corresponding chapter or edition (how many pages It may be realized by information indicating knitting).

  Information related to the month of study may be set for subjects such as “Society” where the content of the course is organized by unit and it is not necessary to adjust the order of courses with other units. it can. The information regarding the month of study set in the subscriber database 320 has priority over the information regarding the month of study stored in the teaching material database 310.

  Information about the course month can be updated as appropriate by application from the subject. Specifically, for example, a predetermined input operation for designating a unit (or field) to be learned in the corresponding month is performed on the operation terminal 120, and information on the unit (or field) designated from the operation terminal 120 is obtained. Based on the acquired information, it is possible to set information related to the course month in the subscriber database 320. In the distance learning system 100, for example, information related to the subject month in which knowledge needs to be accumulated, such as “mathematics” and “science”, does not accept setting by the learning target person.

  Moreover, the subscriber database 320 memorize | stores the information regarding a test implementation date and a test range for every subject. Specifically, the information regarding the test implementation date and the test range is, for example, by causing the operation terminal 120 to perform a predetermined input operation for specifying the test implementation date and the test range for each subject, and from the operation terminal 120 for each subject. Information regarding the test implementation date and test range can be acquired and stored by the server 110 updating the subscriber database 320 based on the acquired information.

  In addition, the subscriber database 320 stores the identification information of the operation terminal 120 used by the learning target person in association with each learning target person identification information. The identification information of the operation terminal 120 is information unique to each operation terminal 120 and can be realized by, for example, the manufacturing number of the operation terminal 120. The identification information of the learning subject may be realized by the identification information of the operation terminal 120.

  In addition, the subscriber database 320 includes the name (member name), the grade, the date of birth, and the month of subscription to the service realized by the distance learning system 100 (enrollment). Information on the month may be stored. Further, the subscriber database 320 may include information related to a guardian such as a parent of a learning target person.

  Specifically, the information on the guardian can be realized by, for example, information on the name, address, and contact information of the guardian. The guardian information may include, for example, an e-mail address assigned to the parent terminal device 130 that is the guardian. Thereby, the learning result report information (report mail to the parent) for reporting the learning contents of the day performed using the operation terminal 120 can be transmitted to the terminal device of the parent such as the parent.

(Outline of distance learning system 100)
Next, an outline of the correspondence learning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the distance learning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the operation terminal 120 is activated when the power switch 232 is operated. The operation terminal 120 is activated when an input operation by a learning subject or the like is received.

  When the operation terminal 120 is activated, the operation terminal 120 first executes communication with the server 110 by executing a program installed in advance, and transmits an activation notification to the server 110. The activation notification includes identification information of a learning target person who uses the operation terminal 120 that is a transmission source of the activation notification. Thereby, the server 110 can determine which operation terminal 120 used by which learning subject is activated. The activation notification may include an IP address assigned to the operation terminal 120 that is the transmission source of the activation notification.

  When the server 110 obtains (receives) the activation notification transmitted from the operation terminal 120, the server 110 identifies the learning target person identification information included in the obtained activation notification. By specifying the identification information of the learning target person, the learning target person can be specified with reference to the subscriber database 320. The server 110 refers to the subscriber database 320 and identifies information related to the teaching material stored in association with the identified identification information of the learning target person. Thereby, the learning material which the said learning subject uses can be specified.

  Next, the server 110 refers to the subscriber database 320 and determines whether or not a test execution date is specified on the date when the activation notification is acquired. When the test execution date is designated, the server 110 determines whether or not there is a predetermined number of days or more until the designated test implementation date, that is, the date when the start notification is acquired is the designated test implementation date. Is included in a period (hereinafter referred to as “test preparation period”) in which the number of days is less than the predetermined number of days.

  When the test execution date is not specified on the date when the activation notification is acquired, or the server 110 has a predetermined number of days or more until the specified test execution date (the date when the activation notification is acquired is the test countermeasure period). If it is not included, the question content relating to the course corresponding to the month in which the activation notification is obtained is extracted from the courses classified as the identified teaching materials with reference to the teaching material database 310.

  If the test execution date is not specified on the date when the activation notification is acquired, or if there is a predetermined number of days or more until the specified test execution date, the server 110 refers to the teaching material database 310 to specify The problem contents including the standard difficulty problem are extracted from the courses classified as teaching materials.

  When the information regarding the month of study is set in the subscriber database 320, the server 110 prioritizes the information regarding the month of study set in the subscriber database 320 over the information regarding the month of study stored in the learning material database 310. Extract the problem content of the course for the applicable course month. Thereby, it is possible to extract problem content in accordance with the progress of learning at the school or the like of the learning target person.

  When extracting problem content, the server 110 refers to the subscriber database 320 and extracts information regarding the progress of learning stored for each course, which is stored in association with the identification information of the identified learning target person. Specifically, for example, whether the reproduction of the problem content corresponding to the month when the activation notification is acquired, that is, whether learning about the content of the course corresponding to the problem content is completed, in the middle, or not started, As described above, it is possible to specify the progress of learning of the person to be learned.

  Next, the server 110 generates learning content including the extracted problem content. For example, the server 110 generates learning content including work content, question content, and answer content. Alternatively, the server 110 may generate learning content that does not include work content and includes only question content and answer content.

  Thereafter, the generated learning content is transmitted to the operation terminal 120 that is the transmission source of the activation notification. For example, the server 110 transmits the generated learning content to the operation terminal 120 with the IP address assigned to the operation terminal 120 that is the transmission source of the acquired activation notification as a destination. In addition, the server 110 may transmit information regarding the progress of learning. Thereby, the learning content according to the content of the learning material of the person to be learned and the reproduction status of the learning content, that is, the learning progress status can be transmitted to the operation terminal 120.

  Upon receiving the learning content, the operation terminal 120 displays a list of courses that can be learned on the operation terminal 120 on the display 227 for each subject based on the received learning content (see FIG. 4A and the like). When the operation terminal 120 receives an input operation for selecting a course from a list displayed on the display by a person to be learned or the like, the operation terminal 120 executes the program installed in advance to obtain the learning content of the selected course. Reproduce.

  When the problem content included in the learning content to be reproduced is reproduced, the operation terminal 120 can accept an input of an answer to the reproduced problem. In the operation of the distance learning system 100, the learning target person inputs the presented answer to the question in the input field corresponding to the question. The answer can be input using, for example, a pointing device such as a touch pen or an electronic pen in addition to the finger of the person to be learned.

  When the operation terminal 120 accepts an operation for inputting an answer and then accepts an operation for selecting an “answer matching” key (see FIG. 4-4), the operation terminal 120 determines the correctness of the answer that has received the input, and the determination result Is displayed. Thereby, it is possible to immediately notify the correctness of the inputted answer to the learning target person.

  In this case, for example, to determine whether the answer inputted by handwriting is correct or not, first, stroke data indicating the locus of the learning target person's finger or pointing device touching the touch panel 228 is acquired for each answer input field (handwriting). Digitize the answer). Then, the acquired stroke data is compared with the text data group for comparison, text data that approximates the acquired stroke data is identified from the text data group, and the handwritten answer input in the answer input field is Replace with the specified text data.

  The comparison text data group can be realized by, for example, an internal dictionary downloaded in advance to the operation terminal 120 or an external dictionary acquired from an external device such as the server 110. The internal dictionary and the external dictionary can be realized by, for example, a national language dictionary, a Japanese-English dictionary, an English-Japanese dictionary, or the like configured by text data.

  Next, with reference to the teaching material database 310, text data indicating the correct answer of the question corresponding to the input field is acquired for each input field of the answer, and the text data indicating the acquired correct answer matches the replaced text data. Whether the input answer is correct or not is determined. After that, based on the determination result, a symbol indicating correctness or an answer to the question content is displayed in each input field. For example, for a correct answer, a red “◯” mark can be used as a symbol indicating correctness, and for an incorrect answer, a red “X (or check mark)” mark can be used as a symbol indicating correctness. Thereby, it is possible to immediately notify the correctness of the inputted answer to the learning target person.

  In the distance learning system 100, the learning target person himself / herself may be allowed to make a correct / incorrect determination on the answer that has received the input. In this case, after accepting an operation for inputting an answer, the operation terminal 120 accepts an operation for selecting an “answer matching” key (see FIG. 4-4). Display the correct answer. The operation terminal 120 may receive designation of an input field for displaying a correct answer, and may display only the correct answer corresponding to the designated input field when the designation is accepted. In this case, it is preferable that the operation terminal 120 displays a correct answer at a position corresponding to the corresponding input field such as the vicinity of the corresponding input field.

  Then, the learning subject looks at the correct answer displayed for each input field, determines whether the answer is correct, and inputs the determination result for each input field. As the determination result, for example, a key for inputting “◯” mark and “× (or check mark)” mark is displayed on a part of the display 227, and “○” mark or “× ( Alternatively, it can be entered by selecting a check mark) ”mark. The operation terminal 120 performs scoring based on the input determination result, and displays the scoring result on the display 227. Thereby, it is possible to immediately notify the correctness of the inputted answer to the learning target person.

  Whether the answer by hand is automatically judged (correction is made by comparing the digitized answer with the correct answer, the operation terminal 120 judges correctness) or by the judgment of the person to be learned (the person to be learned judges whether the answer is correct) It can be set as appropriate. For example, when the answer is an option (for example, “A”, etc.) determined to be a correct answer from a plurality of presented options (for example, “A”, “B”, “C”, etc.), By setting so that the correct / incorrect determination is automatically performed, the burden on determining the answer can be reduced. In addition, for example, in the case of a mathematical proof problem, it can be set to determine whether the answer is correct or not based on the judgment of the person to be learned.

  When the selected learning content is reproduced to the end, the operation terminal 120 may display the determination result of the answer that has received an input for the problem included in the learning content. Thereby, every time one learning content is reproduced to the end, that is, every time one course is learned, the learning result (score) can be notified to the learning target person. As a result, every time one course is learned, it is possible to give a sense of achievement to the learning subject, and it can be expected to tackle the problem voluntarily and continuously.

  The operation terminal 120 stores learning content received from the server 110. For example, the operation terminal 120 may store only the learning content of the month including the start date of the operation terminal 120 among the learning content received from the server 110. In this case, at the first activation in each month, the learning content before the month including the activation date of the operation terminal 120 is deleted, and only the learning content of the month including the activation date of the operation terminal 120 is stored. In the distance learning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, if the learning content is from the subscription month to the month including the activation date, the deleted learning is performed even in a month other than the month including the activation date. Even content can be downloaded multiple times.

  In the correspondence education system 100, the server 110 refers to the subscriber database 320 to determine whether or not the test range is designated when the date on which the activation notification is acquired is included in the test countermeasure period. When the test range is designated, the server 110 refers to the subscriber database 320 and specifies the test range for each subject.

  Next, the server 110 refers to the subscriber database 320 and extracts information on the progress of learning stored for each course, which is stored in association with the identified identification information of the learning target person. Thereby, the progress of learning of the person to be learned can be specified. Then, the server 110 refers to the teaching material database 310, and the difficulty level or the importance level according to the specified progress status from the question content corresponding to the learning content of the course corresponding to the examination range corresponding to the specified teaching material. Are extracted for each course.

  Next, the server 110 generates learning content for reproducing the extracted problem content on the target operation terminal 120. Specifically, the server 110 generates learning content including the extracted question content and the answer content corresponding to the question content. Thereby, during the test preparation period, according to the contents of the learning target person's learning material, it is possible to generate learning content including problem content of difficulty or importance in accordance with the learning progress of the learning target person.

  The learning content extracted by the server 110 when the date when the activation notification is acquired is included in the test preparation period can be configured only by the question content and the answer content without including the work content. This makes it possible for the learning subject to spend the time required to play back the work content as the time to answer the problem based on the question content, and to effectively use the limited time during the exam preparation period to perform learning efficiently. be able to.

  The learning content extracted by the server 110 when the date when the activation notification is acquired is included in the test preparation period may include work content. Whether or not work content is included in the learning content may be appropriately determined according to the progress of learning. Specifically, for example, when the answer rate (correct answer rate) of the standard difficulty or difficulty level as a reference is less than a predetermined threshold, learning content including work content is generated. Also good.

  When the operation terminal 120 receives the learning content transmitted from the server 110 during the test preparation period, the operation terminal 120 displays a list of courses to be learned with priority on the operation terminal 120 by the test implementation date based on the received learning content. Each time it appears on the display. The operation terminal 120 is installed in advance when receiving an input operation for selecting a course by a learning target person from the list displayed on the display, similarly to the case where learning content is received on a day outside the test preparation period. The learning content of the selected course is reproduced by executing the program.

  When the server 110 acquires the activation notification, whether or not the date when the activation notification is acquired is included in a period (hereinafter referred to as “intensive countermeasure period”) in which the number of days until the test implementation date is less than the test countermeasure period. May be judged. The intensive countermeasure period is a period from the designated test implementation date to a specific number of days before, and is shorter than the test countermeasure period. As for the specific number of days, the number of days from the designated test implementation date is less than the predetermined number of days that defines the test preparation period.

  When the date on which the activation notification is acquired is included in the concentration measure period, the question content for determination is extracted with reference to the teaching material database 310. The question content for determination is preferably extracted for each course in order to determine the degree of understanding regarding the contents of all courses corresponding to the examination range. Then, the server 110 transmits the extracted problem content for determination to the operation terminal 120 that is the transmission source of the activation notification.

  When receiving the determination question content transmitted from the server 110, the operation terminal 120 reproduces the determination question content and receives an input of an answer to the determination question content. When the operation terminal 120 receives an input of an answer, the operation terminal 120 transmits information about the answer that has received the input to the server 110.

  The server 110 acquires information regarding the answer to the question content for determination transmitted to the operation terminal 120 from the operation terminal 120, and determines whether the answer to the question content for determination is correct based on the acquired information regarding the answer. . The determination of whether the answer to the question content for determination is correct or not is not limited to that performed in the server 110 but may be performed in the operation terminal 120. In this case, the operation terminal 120 transmits to the server 110 information regarding the answer that has received the input and the determination result of the correctness of the answer.

  In the concentration countermeasure period, in addition to the learning content transmitted in the test countermeasure period, the server 110 emphasizes the course corresponding to the problem content for determination determined as an incorrect answer in the operation terminal 120 in the learning content. The learning content to be reproduced is transmitted to the operation terminal 120 that is the transmission source of the activation notification.

  The operation terminal 120 emphasizes and reproduces the course corresponding to the problem content for determination determined as an incorrect answer among the learning content received during the concentration countermeasure period. Specifically, the operation terminal 120 displays the icon of the corresponding course with emphasis over the icons of the other courses. As a result, during the concentration countermeasure period, the operation terminal 120 can easily guide the course to be learned to the learning target person in an easy-to-understand manner.

(Example of display screen of operation terminal 120)
Next, various display screen examples displayed on the operation terminal 120 will be described. 4-1, FIG.4-2, FIG.4-3, FIG.4-4, FIG.4-5, FIG.4-6, FIG.4-7, FIG.4-8, FIG.4-9, FIG.4-10, 4-11, FIG. 4-12, FIG. 4-13, FIG. 4-14, FIG. 4-15, FIG. 4-16, FIG. 4-17, FIG.

The display screens shown in FIGS. 4-1 to 4-19 are displayed on the display 227 provided in the computer device that implements the operation terminal 120.

(Unit selection screen, part 1)
In FIG. 4-1, a unit selection screen corresponding to a subject, such as “Mathematics” or “Science”, in which course months are uniquely assigned according to the order edited in the textbook corresponding to the subject, etc. An example is shown. When the operation terminal 120 receives an operation of selecting any subject from the list of subjects displayed on the home screen in a state where the home screen (not shown) is displayed at the time of startup or the like. The unit selection screen (course selection screen) of the selected subject is displayed. FIG. 4A shows a unit selection screen 401 when the activation date is September and “math” is selected as the subject.

  On the unit selection screen 401, the operation terminal 120 displays a list 401A of courses to be taken in the month including the start date. As described above, by transmitting learning content corresponding to the month of study from the server 110, a teaching material list such as a textbook and a list 401A of courses in accordance with the progress of the class using the teaching material are displayed on the operation terminal 120. Can be displayed.

  The operation terminal 120 displays an icon 401a indicating each course constituting the list 401A in the course list 401A. The operation terminal 120 displays the title of the course to which the icon 401a corresponds in each icon 401a. Each icon 401a has a launcher function. When the operation terminal 120 receives an operation for selecting one icon 401a on the unit selection screen 401, the operation terminal 120 activates a course reproduction application and reproduces the learning content of the corresponding course by the course reproduction application.

  On the unit selection screen 401, the operation terminal 120 displays information regarding the progress of learning related to the course for each course. In the unit selection screen 401, for example, when all of the question contents included in the course are correctly answered, the icon 401a of the corresponding course is displayed in a color different from the icon 401a of the course before learning, and the icon 401a A comment 401b such as “100%” or “PERFECT” is displayed in association with the URL.

  Further, on the unit selection screen 401, for example, when the correct answer rate for the question content included in the course reaches a predetermined threshold, the operation terminal 120 displays the corresponding course icon 401a as the class icon 401a before learning. A different color is displayed, and a comment 401b such as “GOOD” is displayed in association with the icon 401a. In response to the activation request transmitted from the operation terminal 120 to the server 110 at the time of activation, the operation terminal 120 displays the comment 401b based on the information regarding the progress of learning transmitted from the server 110.

  In this manner, the lecture icon 401a whose degree of understanding has reached a predetermined threshold or higher is displayed in a different color from the class icon 401a before learning, or the comment 401b indicating that the degree of understanding has exceeded a predetermined threshold. By displaying, it is possible to give a sense of achievement to the learning target person, and it can be expected to tackle the problem voluntarily and continuously.

  In addition, the operation terminal 120 displays information on the unit selection screen 401 that guides courses that should be preferentially learned among the incomplete courses on the unit selection screen 401. Specifically, for example, a comment 401c such as “Let's start today?” Is displayed in the vicinity of the icon 401a of a course that is preferably studied with priority.

  In response to the activation request transmitted from the operation terminal 120 to the server 110 at the time of activation, the operation terminal 120 displays the comment 401c based on the information regarding the learning progress status transmitted from the server 110. By displaying such a comment 401c and making the icon 401a of a course that is desired to be learned preferentially stand out, learning can be performed in an efficient order without making the learning subject particularly aware.

  On the unit selection screen 401, the operation terminal 120 displays an operation key 401d for displaying the unit selection screen 401 of the previous month of the displayed month or the unit selection screen 401 of the next month of the displayed month. When the operation terminal 120 receives an operation for selecting the operation key 401d, the unit selection screen 401 being displayed is the same subject as the subject indicated by the unit selection screen 401, and the previous month or display of the month being displayed. The screen is switched to the unit selection screen 401 for the next month of the middle month.

  The operation terminal 120 displays a subject key 401e for selecting a subject to be learned on the unit selection screen 401. In FIG. 4A, a unit selection screen 401 displaying a subject key 401e for selecting “mathematics”, “English”, “national language”, “science”, “society”, “Kanken drill”, and “memorization card”. Is shown. When the operation terminal 120 receives an operation for selecting any of the subject keys 401e, the operation terminal 120 displays a list 401A of courses in the corresponding month of the subject or the exercise problem corresponding to the selected subject key 401e.

  In the above description, the case where an arbitrary subject in the learning subject is selected has been described as an example. However, the operation terminal 120 receives an operation of selecting the subject key 401e of “Kanken drill” or “Memorization card”. The operation is the same as when an arbitrary subject in the learning subject is selected. When the operation terminal 120 receives the operation of the subject key 401e for selecting “Kanken drill” or “memorization card” in the learning material while the home screen or the unit selection screen 401 of each learning subject is displayed, A unit selection screen 401 similar to the unit selection screen 401 for the learning subject is displayed. The learning material unit selection screen 401 displays a list 401A in which icons 401a indicating problems for one month of the corresponding learning material are arranged in the same manner as the unit selection screen 401 of the above learning subject.

  The operation terminal 120 displays a mark 401f including a comment such as “Deepen understanding” or “Let's fix” in the vicinity of a predetermined icon 401a among courses displaying the icon 401a on the unit selection screen 401. May be. The operation terminal 120 displays a mark 401f according to the progress of learning of each course.

  A mark 401f with a comment “Deepen understanding” is displayed in the vicinity of the icon 401a of a course for which it is preferable to deepen the understanding of the content by solving the topic. When the operation terminal 120 accepts an operation of selecting the icon 401a on which the mark 401f including a comment “Deepen understanding” is displayed, the operation terminal 120 issues a question that has already been answered among the question content of the corresponding course. The problem presentation screen (see Fig. 4-4) is displayed.

  A mark 401f with a comment “Let's fix” is displayed in the vicinity of the icon 401a of a course for which it is preferable to trace back the past problem. When the operation terminal 120 accepts an operation for selecting the icon 401a on which the mark 401f including a comment “Let's fix” is displayed, a problem presentation screen (see FIG. 4-4) that presents the problems already presented in the corresponding course.

The operation terminal 120 emphasizes the memorization card 419b having an item that needs to be learned one day before the test implementation date on the unit selection screen 419 for the test measures so that it is more conspicuous than the other memorization cards 413B. indicate. This makes it possible for the learning subject to easily and accurately grasp the learning content and learning amount required one day before the test implementation date, that is, immediately before the test.

  In the distance learning system 100, some problem content can be reproduced on a specific portable information terminal device such as a smartphone owned by the person to be learned. Specifically, for example, when the “to portal” key 407d on the scoring result screen 407 is operated, the question content of the corresponding course is transmitted from the server 110 to the portable information terminal device. A specific portable information terminal device can be specified for each learning target person with reference to the subscriber database 320.

  In the correspondence education system 100, the problem transmitted from the server 110 to the specific portable information terminal device is installed by installing the application for reproducing the problem content transmitted from the server 110 in the specific portable information terminal device. The content can be reproduced on the portable information terminal device.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a learning method using the operation terminal 120A that realizes a specific portable information terminal device. In FIG. 5, the problem content transmitted from the server 110 is displayed on the display 245 in the format described on the card. The learning subject visually recognizes the problem content displayed on the display 245 of the portable information terminal device, and operates to distribute the card on which the problem content is described to the left and right according to the degree of understanding.

  Specifically, for example, when the user has already memorized or is confident in the answer, flick the card on which the question content is written to the right side of the display 245 (figure 5). See A). Specifically, for example, when the user does not memorize or is not confident in the answer, flick the card on which the question content is written to the left so as to distribute the card to the left of the display 245 (in FIG. 5). (See arrow B).

  For example, when the portable information terminal device accepts an operation to end the corresponding application, the portable information terminal device outputs, to the server 110, information related to the distribution result of the problem content distribution performed in the portable information terminal device. When the server 110 receives the information related to the distribution result, the server 110 specifies the person to be learned based on the address of the portable information terminal device that is the transmission source of the information related to the received distribution result, and specifies the information based on the information related to the distribution result. The information on the progress status stored in association with the learning target person identification information is updated.

  Thus, in the distance learning system 100, a part of problem content is reproduced on a specific portable information terminal device, and the information on the progress is updated according to the reproduction result, thereby using the portable information terminal device. And learning performed using the operation terminal 120 can be linked. As a result, the person to be learned can perform learning along textbooks and other teaching materials by freely using the portable information terminal device and the operation terminal 120 in accordance with his / her own lifestyle. In the distance learning system 100, it is possible to always perform learning using a common teaching material while freely using the portable information terminal device and the operation terminal 120 in accordance with their own lifestyle.

(Functional configuration of server 110)
Next, a functional configuration of the server 110 in the distance learning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a functional configuration of the server 110 in the distance learning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

A generation unit 606, a transmission unit 607, a determination unit 608, an understanding level calculation unit 609, a communication control unit 610, and a response information extraction unit 611 are provided. Each unit 600 to 611 that realizes each function of the server 110 can be realized by each unit included in a computer device that realizes the server 110.

  The storage unit 600 stores various databases such as the teaching material database 310 and the subscriber database 320. In the correspondence education system 100, the subscriber database 320 can realize the first storage unit and the second storage unit according to the present invention. In the distance learning system 100, the teaching material database 310 can realize the third storage unit and the fourth storage unit according to the present invention.

  The acquisition unit 601 acquires identification information of the learning target person from the operation terminal 120. For example, when the activation notification transmitted from the operation terminal 120 is received, the acquisition unit 601 acquires the identification information of the learning target person by extracting the identification information of the learning target person included in the activation notification. Further, the acquisition unit 601 acquires information related to the test implementation date and information related to the test subject or test subject from the operation terminal 120.

  For example, the acquisition unit 601 acquires the information related to the test execution date by receiving the information related to the test execution date transmitted from the operation terminal 120 when the “save” key 408d on the schedule designation screen 408 is operated. For example, the acquisition unit 601 acquires the information related to the test implementation date by receiving the information related to the test range transmitted from the operation terminal 120 when the “save” key 410h on the range designation screen 410 is operated. The acquisition unit 601 acquires information on the examination range in the teaching material from the operation terminal 120 for each examination subject or each examination subject. Specifically, the acquisition unit 601 can be realized by the network I / F 216, for example.

  The learning material specifying unit 602 refers to the subscriber database 320 (first storage unit) in the storage unit 600 and specifies the learning material used by the learning target person identified by the identification information acquired by the acquisition unit 601. The learning material specifying unit 602 specifies the learning material identification information stored in the subscriber database 320 in association with the identification information of the learning target person acquired by the acquisition unit 601, for example, so that the learning target person uses the learning material. Is identified.

  The progress specifying unit 603 refers to the subscriber database 320 (second storage unit) in the storage unit 600 and specifies the learning progress of the learning target person identified by the identification information acquired by the acquiring unit 601. . For example, in the subscriber database 320, the progress status specifying unit 603 specifies information related to the learning progress status stored in association with the identification information of the learning target person acquired by the acquiring unit 601. Identify the materials to use.

  When the acquisition unit 601 acquires the identification information of the learning target person, the determination unit 604 determines whether or not the date when the identification information of the learning target person is included in the examination preparation period for each test subject or test subject. Judge every. For example, when the acquisition unit 601 acquires the activation notification, the determination unit 604 determines, for each test subject or each test subject, whether or not the date when the activation notification is acquired is included in the examination preparation period.

  Furthermore, when the acquisition unit 601 acquires the identification information of the learning target person, the determination unit 604 may determine whether or not the date on which the identification information is acquired is included in the concentration countermeasure period. For example, when the acquisition unit 601 acquires the activation notification, the determination unit 604 determines whether or not the date when the activation notification is acquired is included in the concentration countermeasure period.

  The extraction unit 605 refers to the learning material database 310 (third storage unit) in the storage unit 600 and sets the progress status specified by the progress status specifying unit 603 for each course corresponding to the learning material specified by the learning material specification unit 602. The problem content of the difficulty level or importance level that corresponds is extracted. The extraction unit 605 extracts, from the problem content related to the learning material specified by the learning material specifying unit 602, the problem content having the difficulty level or the importance according to the progress status specified by the progress status specifying unit 603.

  Based on the determination result of the determination unit 604, when there is a test subject or a test subject in which the date when the acquisition unit 601 acquires the identification information of the person to be learned is included in the test preparation period, the extraction unit 605 For each of the courses related to the test subject, problem content of difficulty or importance corresponding to the progress specified by the progress specifying unit 603 is extracted.

  Based on the determination result of the determination unit 604, when the date when the acquisition unit 601 acquires the identification information of the person to be learned is included in the test preparation period, the extraction unit 605 determines that the test based on the acquired information about the test range. For each course corresponding to the range, problem content having difficulty or importance according to the progress specified by the progress specifying unit 603 is extracted.

  When the date when the acquisition unit 601 acquires the identification information of the person to be learned is included in the test preparation period, the extraction unit 605 refers to the teaching material database 310 (fourth storage unit) in the storage unit 600 and enters the test range. The problem content for determination related to the corresponding course is extracted. When the date when the acquisition unit 601 acquires the identification information of the person to be learned is included in the test preparation period, the extraction unit 605 extracts the question content for determination related to the course corresponding to the test range.

  Based on the determination result of the determination unit 604, when the date when the acquisition unit 601 acquires the identification information of the person to be learned is included in the concentration countermeasure period, the extraction unit 605 determines based on the progress status specified by the progress status specifying unit 603. Then, the problem content related to the course that does not reach the predetermined threshold is extracted.

  The transmission information generation unit 606 generates transmission information to be transmitted to the corresponding operation terminal 120 based on the problem content extracted by the extraction unit 605. Specifically, the transmission information generation unit 606 generates learning content that causes the operation terminal 120 to reproduce the problem content extracted by the extraction unit 605. When the extraction unit 605 extracts the problem content for determination, the transmission information generation unit 606 generates learning content that causes the operation terminal 120 to reproduce the extracted problem content for determination.

  The transmission unit 607 transmits learning content that causes the problem content extracted by the extraction unit 605 to be reproduced on the operation terminal 120 to the operation terminal 120 that is a transmission source of the activation notification including the identification information of the person to be learned. The transmission unit 607 transmits the learning content generated by the transmission information generation unit 606 to the corresponding operation terminal 120. Said acquisition part 601 acquires the information regarding the answer with respect to the question given by the problem content contained in the learning content which the transmission part 607 transmitted from the operation terminal 120. FIG.

  When the extraction unit 605 extracts the problem content for determination, the transmission unit 607 transmits the learning content including the extracted problem content for determination to the operation terminal 120 that is the transmission source of the identification information of the person to be learned. For example, the transmission unit 607 transmits the extracted question content for determination to the operation terminal 120 that is the transmission source of the activation notification including the identification information of the person to be learned.

  When receiving the problem content for determination transmitted by the transmission unit 607, the operation terminal 120 displays the unit selection screen 418 for the above-described test countermeasures. Then, when a predetermined input operation by a learning subject or the like is received, the question content for determination is reproduced, and an “answering speed check” is performed by receiving an answer input. The operation terminal 120 transmits information related to the answer of “rewarding speed check” to the operation terminal 120 that is a transmission source of the question content for the determination.

  The acquisition unit 601 acquires information related to the answer to the question content for determination transmitted to the operation terminal 120 from the corresponding operation terminal 120 as a result of the transmission of the question content for determination by the transmission unit 607. The determination unit 608 determines whether the answer to the question content for determination is correct or incorrect based on the information about the answer acquired by the acquisition unit 601. The determination unit 608 determines whether the answer relating to the “priority check” or “reward speed check” is correct.

  Based on the determination result of the determination unit 608, the transmission unit 607 emphasizes and reproduces the learning content corresponding to the problem content for determination determined as an incorrect answer on the operation terminal 120 in the identification information of the person to be learned. It transmits to the operation terminal 120 which becomes a transmission source. As a result, during the test preparation period, the operation terminal 120 can highlight and display the course to be preferentially learned.

  The operation terminal 120 reproduces the learning content including the question content transmitted from the server 110 when a predetermined input operation by a learning target person or the like is received. For example, the operation terminal 120 reproduces the learning content corresponding to the learning content transmitted from the server 110 when the learning target person receives the designation of the course and the instruction to reproduce the learning content related to the designated course. To do.

  Furthermore, the operation terminal 120 accepts an input of an answer to the question during reproduction of the learning content. For example, the operation terminal 120 accepts an input of an answer to a question when an operation for selecting the answer column 404b is accepted on the question presentation screen 406 displayed by reproducing the question content in the learning content. In addition, the operation terminal 120 receives an input of an answer relating to, for example, “priority check” or “reward speed check”.

  In addition, when a predetermined input operation by a learning target person or the like is received, the operation terminal 120 transmits information regarding the content of the reproduced learning content and the content of the answer to the problem in the learning content. Specifically, the operation terminal 120, for example, each time the learning content of one course is completed and every time a problem related to the course is scored, the content of the reproduced learning content and the degree of understanding of the learning content are related. An instruction to send report information is accepted.

  Whenever the report information transmitted from the operation terminal 120 is received, the understanding level calculation unit 609 calculates an understanding level for the learning content reproduced on the operation terminal 120, that is, the content of the course, based on the report information. Specifically, the degree of understanding can be expressed by, for example, a correct answer rate (or an incorrect answer rate) of a standard difficulty question (standard question). Alternatively, the degree of understanding may be expressed by, for example, whether or not a specific question used for determining the degree of understanding is correct.

  The above-described storage unit 600 classifies the understanding level calculated by the understanding level calculation unit 609 for each learning target person's identification information and stores it for each course. In addition, the storage unit 600 stores the understanding level calculated by the understanding level calculation unit 609 for each date and time when the operation terminal 120 reproduces the learning content.

  The communication control unit 610 communicates with the parent terminal device 130. For example, the communication control unit 610 receives a browsing request transmitted from the parent terminal device 130. The browsing request includes identification information of the person to be learned. When the parent terminal device 130 receives a predetermined input operation, the parent terminal device 130 generates a browsing request using an application installed in the parent terminal device 130 in advance, and transmits the generated browsing request to the server 110.

  When the communication control unit 610 receives a browsing request from the parent terminal device 130, the response information extraction unit 611 refers to the subscriber database in the storage unit 600 and stores it in association with the identification information of the corresponding learning target person. Information regarding the progress of learning of the learning subject is extracted as response information. The extracted response information is transmitted by the communication control unit 610 to the parent terminal device 130 that is the transmission source of the browsing request.

(Processing procedure of server 110)
Next, the processing procedure of the server 110 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the server 110. In the flowchart of FIG. 7, first, the process waits until an activation notification transmitted from the operation terminal 120 is received (step S701: No). In step S701, when the activation notification is received (step S701: Yes), the learning target person identification information included in the received activation notification is acquired (step S702).

  Next, based on the identification information of the person to be learned acquired in step S702, the learning material is specified (step S703), and the progress of learning is specified (step S704). In step S703, for example, referring to the subscriber database 320, the learning material is specified by specifying information related to the learning material stored in association with the identification information of the learning target person acquired in step S702. In step S704, for example, by referring to the subscriber database 320, by specifying information related to the learning progress stored in association with the identification information of the learning target acquired in step S702, the corresponding learning target The progress of learners.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the date and time when the identification information of the learning target person is acquired in step S702 is included in the test measure period from the activation notification received in step S701: Yes (step S705). In step S705, for example, referring to the subscriber database 320, information related to the test execution date stored in association with the identification information of the learning target person acquired in step S702 is extracted, and based on the test execution date. To calculate the test preparation period. Then, it is determined whether or not the date and time when the identification information of the learning target person is acquired in step S702 is included in the calculated test measure period.

  In step S705, when the date when the identification information of the person to be learned is acquired is not included in the examination measure period (step S705: No), the question content is extracted with reference to the teaching material database 310 (step S706). In step S706, for example, the subscriber database 320 is referred to, and based on the learning target person identification information acquired in step S702, the grade of the corresponding learning target person is calculated. Then, with reference to the teaching material database 310, from the course corresponding to the calculated grade among the courses related to the teaching material specified in step S703, the learning month corresponding to the date when the identification information of the learning subject was acquired in step S702 Identify the courses. And the problem content concerning the specified course is extracted.

  In step S706, for example, out of the problem content related to the specified course, the problem content related to the reference difficulty or importance problem (standard problem) is extracted. Or in step S706, you may extract the problem content according to the difficulty or importance specified based on the progress of learning specified in step S704 from the problem content concerning the specified course.

  Next, learning content including the problem content extracted in step S706 is generated (step S707), and the learning content generated in step S707 for the operation terminal 120 that is the transmission source of the activation notification received in step S701: Yes. Is transmitted (step S708), and the series of processing ends.

  In step S705, when the date when the identification information of the person to be learned is acquired is included in the test countermeasure period (step S705: Yes), it is determined whether or not the date is included in the concentration countermeasure period (step S709). In step S709, for example, referring to the subscriber database 320, information related to the test implementation date stored in association with the identification information of the learning target person acquired in step S702 is extracted, and based on the test implementation date. To calculate the concentration measure period. Then, it is determined whether or not the date and time when the identification information of the learning target person is acquired in step S702 is included in the calculated concentration countermeasure period.

  In step S709, when the date when the identification information of the person to be learned is acquired is not included in the concentration countermeasure period (step S709: No), the question content for determination related to the “priority check” is obtained by referring to the teaching material database 310. Extract (step S710), the process proceeds to step S707. In step S710, for example, the subscriber database 320 is referred to, and the test range is specified based on the learning target person identification information acquired in step S702. Then, the question content for determination corresponding to the specified test range is extracted.

  In step S709, when the date on which the identification information of the learning target person is acquired is included in the concentration countermeasure period (step S709: Yes), the question content for determination regarding “speed check” is extracted with reference to the teaching material database 310 (Step S711), the process proceeds to step S707. In step S711, as in step S710, for example, the subscriber database 320 is referred to, and the test range is specified based on the identification information of the learning subject acquired in step S702. Then, the question content for determination corresponding to the specified test range is extracted.

  In step S710 and step S711, for example, from the problem content for determination corresponding to the test range, the problem content for determination related to the standard difficulty or the problem of difficulty (standard problem) is extracted. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden of extracting problem content for determination related to “priority check” or “speed check”, and to perform processing quickly.

  Alternatively, in step S710 and step S711, the determination content corresponding to the difficulty level or importance level specified based on the progress of learning specified in step S704 is selected from the problem content for determination corresponding to the test range. Problem content may be extracted. As a result, the understanding level of the person to be learned can be determined in more detail.

  The learning content generated based on the question content for determination extracted in Step S710 or Step S711 does not include a work, and can be configured only by the question content and the answer content. Thereby, it is possible to shorten the time required for “priority check” and “speed check” performed on the operation terminal 120 and to secure the learning time corresponding to the check result.

  In the distance learning system 100, by specifying all pages of textbooks and other teaching materials as examination ranges, entrance exams (admission exams) for exams other than exams with limited examination ranges, such as regular examinations, for example Can learn for. Specifically, for example, in the case of a junior high school student who takes a high school examination, the distance learning system 100 can designate all pages of all textbooks from the first year of junior high school to the third year of junior high school as a test range, thereby It is also possible to use a method such as finding a weak content in the learned range and understanding the weak content before the high school entrance examination.

The learning subject inputs the answer by handwriting in each corresponding answer input field 901b, and then operates the “answer matching” key 404c.

  In the answer input screen 901, when the answer matching mode switching key 901c is displayed as “conversion OFF”, the operation terminal 120 determines whether the answer by hand is correct or not based on the judgment of the person to be learned (learning target). Indicates that it is in a mode in which a person judges correctness and inputs a symbol indicating correctness. Under the setting of this mode, when the operation terminal 120 accepts an operation of selecting the “answer matching” key 404c, each answer input field 901b corresponds to the answer input field 901b as shown in the answer input screen 902. The correct answer 902a is displayed.

  The learner looks at the correct answer displayed for each answer entry field 901b, determines whether the answer is correct, and inputs a “○” mark and a “× (or check mark)” sign for each answer entry field 901b. The determination result is input by operating the key 902c. When the operation terminal 120 completes the input of the determination result by the operation of the key 902c in all the answer input fields 901b, as shown in the answer input screen 903, “○” according to the determination result on the answer input screen 901 is displayed. A mark (or “× (or check mark)” mark) 903a and an explanation 903b for the answer are displayed in a superimposed manner.

  On the other hand, when the answer matching mode switching key 901c is displayed as “conversion ON” on the answer input screen 901, the operation terminal 120 automatically determines whether the answer by handwriting is correct (digitized answer and answer). It shows that the operation terminal 120 is in a mode of comparing the correct answer with the correct answer. When the operation terminal 120 accepts an operation of selecting the “answer matching” key 404c under the setting of this mode, the operation terminal 120 acquires stroke data indicating the locus of the pointing device touching the touch panel 228 for each answer input field ( Digitize handwritten answers). Then, as shown in the answer input screen 904, the acquired stroke data is compared with the text data group for comparison, text data that approximates the acquired stroke data is identified from the text data group, and the answer is input. The handwritten answer input in the column is replaced with the specified text data, and the replaced text data 904a is displayed.

  Then, the correctness of the input answer is determined by referring to the teaching material database 320 and determining whether or not the text data indicating the correct answer matches the replaced text data 904a. Thereafter, as shown in the answer input screen 905, the “◯” mark (or “x (or check mark)” mark) 905a according to the determination result and the explanation 903b for the answer are displayed in a superimposed manner. Thereby, it is possible to immediately notify the correctness of the inputted answer to the learning target person.

  In the distance learning system 100, the learning target person himself / herself may be allowed to make a correct / incorrect determination on the answer that has received the input. In this case, after receiving an operation for inputting an answer, the operation terminal 120 receives an operation for selecting an “answer matching” key 404c (see FIG. 4-4). The correct answer corresponding to is displayed. The operation terminal 120 may receive designation of an input field for displaying a correct answer, and may display only the correct answer corresponding to the designated input field when the designation is accepted. In this case, it is preferable that the operation terminal 120 displays a correct answer at a position corresponding to the corresponding input field such as the vicinity of the corresponding input field.

  Then, the learning subject looks at the correct answer displayed for each input field, determines whether the answer is correct, and inputs the determination result for each input field. As the determination result, for example, a key for inputting “◯” mark and “× (or check mark)” mark is displayed on a part of the display 227, and “○” mark or “× ( Alternatively, it can be entered by selecting a check mark) ”mark. The operation terminal 120 performs scoring based on the input determination result, and displays the scoring result on the display 227. Thereby, it is possible to immediately notify the correctness of the inputted answer to the learning target person.

  Whether the answer by hand is automatically judged (correction is made by comparing the digitized answer with the correct answer, the operation terminal 120 judges correctness) or by the judgment of the person to be learned (the person to be learned judges whether the answer is correct) It can be set as appropriate. For example, when the answer is an option (for example, “A”, etc.) determined to be a correct answer from a plurality of presented options (for example, “A”, “B”, “C”, etc.), By setting so that the correct / incorrect determination is automatically performed, the burden on determining the answer can be reduced. In addition, for example, in the case of a mathematical proof problem, it can be set to determine whether the answer is correct or not based on the judgment of the person to be learned.

  In the distance learning system 100, points may be issued to the learning target person according to the learning amount performed using the operation terminal 120. Specifically, for example, when the learning content of the designated course is reproduced to the end on the operation terminal 120, or when an input of an answer to a problem included in the learning content is received, or the determination of the answer Based on the result and the like, the points to be issued to the learning subject can be calculated. On the unit selection screen 803 for test measures, for example, the remaining days 803c until the test implementation date of a subject that does not take special test measures such as “music” or “art” may be displayed.

  In this case, in the distance learning system 100, a predetermined privilege may be received according to the number of points acquired. Specifically, the privilege can be realized by, for example, a game played using the operation terminal 120 or browsing a WEB site established on the Internet. In the distance learning system 100, for example, the game time that can be played on the operation terminal 120 and the length of time for browsing the WEB site are adjusted according to the number of points acquired. Thereby, the privilege according to the number of acquired points can be enjoyed.

  The points issued to the learning target person may have an expiration date such as “limited to the learning day”, for example. Thus, by providing an expiration date on the points acquired by the person to be learned, it is possible to limit the time during which the privilege can be enjoyed, that is, the time during which the game can be played. Thereby, it can suppress that the situation where learning object person is absorbed in a game for a long time arises.

  In the distance learning system 100, for example, when the remaining usage time corresponding to the points issued to the learning target is reduced on the operation terminal 120, a warning to that effect is displayed and the usage time is lost. Shutdown for restart may be performed. Thereby, it can suppress that the situation where learning object person is absorbed in a game for a long time arises.

  In the distance learning system 100, for example, “if a good result is obtained by one answer and a good result is obtained by a plurality of answers, the same points are given. By assigning points every time each stage passes, it is possible to reward efforts to continue learning in addition to obtaining good results with a single answer. In addition, in the distance learning system 100, when all courses delivered in the month are taken for each subject of the regular course, a predetermined number of points are additionally given as a full course bonus regardless of the course status. It may be.

  As described above, in the correspondence education system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the answer can be input by handwriting by pen input by using a predetermined writing member. Thereby, the learning content can be memorized firmly. Further, in the correspondence learning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, various handwritten input methods such as “answering with kanji” and “answering with mathematical formula”, which are asked in tests such as a periodic test and an entrance examination, etc. You can acquire "genuine descriptive power" that can cope with.

  Further, in the correspondence education system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the operation terminal 120 that communicates with the server 110 analyzes the weakness from the learning history managed in the cloud, and matches each learning with the regular test range. So-called tailor-made learning materials tailored to the target can be provided. As a result, the person to be learned can easily and clearly understand "when", "what", and "how to do". Specifically, for example, “when” is the time when learning using the operation terminal 120 is performed, such as “daily preparation / review”, “before regular test”, “immediately before regular test”. Further, “normal learning”, “periodic test preparation”, “emphasis on memorization”, and the like correspond to “what”. In addition, "I will work with my work, retrospectives, and themes", "Solve the regular test preparation courses with priority given to weak points and poor understanding", "Final confirmation of important words that often appear in tests" It corresponds to.

  Further, in the correspondence education system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the examination countermeasure period (periodic test countermeasure period) is entered, the portal is changed from the normal learning mode (see FIG. 4-1, etc.) to the regular test countermeasure mode ( By switching to the test countermeasure period (periodic test countermeasure period), it is possible to encourage the switching of the feelings of the learning target person (students).

  In the correspondence education system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, as a test measure (periodic test measure), as described above, the operation terminal 120 displays a display screen according to the learning history and results of the person to be learned. By displaying and guiding the contents and amount of learning, it is possible to guide the learning direction of the learning target person so that the score of the learning target person is increased in a test (periodic test or the like). In the correspondence education system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to guide a so-called “shortest route to achievement improvement” in which the number of learning subjects increases most efficiently.

  Specifically, for example, the correspondence education system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention specifies the test range (periodic test range) announced by a school teacher or the like, the test execution date, and the subject by the table of contents or page of the textbook. It is possible to select a countermeasure course narrowed down to the content of the corresponding examination range without making troublesome preparation for the person to be learned.

  In addition, the distance learning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention uses the usage method of setting an approximate test range determined by the school teacher before announcing the regular test range, for example. You may start learning for test preparations before the test range is disclosed, and reset the test range (test range) after the teacher announces the test range (regular test range). it can. In this case, in the correspondence education system 100, it is preferable to maintain the course attendance state for the test measures (periodic test measures) taken so far, even if the test range (test range) is reset.

  In addition, when the correspondence learning system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention specifies a course to be learned for a test measure (periodic test measure), for example, the learning history in the normal learning mode and the start of the regular test measure Based on the result of the priority diagnosis (see Fig. 4-12), the individual difficulty level of the course to be studied for the test preparation is classified into "basic to standard" and "standard", and the questions to be asked according to the classification You can sort the content and difficulty level and give questions according to your proficiency level.

  Specifically, for example, for students with poor grades, focus on basic consolidation by solving basic problems, and for students with good grades, skip basic problems. Waste can be saved by solving problems that are more difficult than basic problems and problems that are less important (more detailed contents). As described above, a course given as “basic to standard” can be encouraged to be taken by giving a “priority” mark to the portal. According to the correspondence education system 100, it is possible to expect a score-up effect by leading from a state in which the foundation is not solidified to a state in which the foundation is solidified.

  In the correspondence education system 100, the proficiency level is determined for each unit (course) of the subject. Specifically, for example, if you are a student who is not good at simultaneous equations in mathematics but is good at spatial graphics, simultaneous equations will be given from basic problems, and spatial figures will be given from standard problems. In addition, it is possible to sort and adjust the degree of difficulty and importance of the questions to be asked for each unit (course). Furthermore, in the distance learning system 100, as a result of solving the problem of the countermeasure course, it is possible to additionally give a challenge problem having a higher degree of difficulty to a learning subject who has good grades. As a result, even if it is a unit (course) in which the degree of comprehension (skill level) does not exceed the predetermined threshold in the first course, it is possible to learners who have exceeded the threshold as a result of repeated resolving On the other hand, you can ask and solve challenge questions.

  In addition, in the test preparation (periodic test preparation) in the correspondence education system 100, it is possible to perform learning with particular emphasis on memorization as a shortcut for increasing points. Specifically, in the operation terminal 120, for example, the memorization problem of terms in the test range (test range) can be given with importance, and the mistaken terms are repeatedly asked until they are memorized. The measures can be promoted.

  In addition, in the test measures (periodic test measures) in the correspondence education system 100, as a measure for weakness, a problem that has not been solved in the past (not answered correctly) is recorded as a weak point, necessary measures are taken, and the operation terminal 120 is used. You can make a suggestion to overcome a weak unit (course). Suggestions provided by the distance learning system 100 can be performed by displaying them in the problem result screen and the “normal learning mode”. In the distance learning system 100, it is possible to prompt students to take the course again. Specifically, for example, the distance learning system 100 can prompt a student to retake a course regarding a unit (course) determined to have insufficient understanding. Thereby, the understanding with respect to the learning content can be deepened, and the learning content that has been understood can be fixed.

  As described above, the correspondence education system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention causes the computer device that implements the server 110 to execute the learning support program, thereby obtaining the learning target person identification information acquired from the operation terminal 120. Based on this, the learning material used by the learner is identified and the learning progress of the learner is identified, and the degree of difficulty or importance corresponding to the identified progress for each course corresponding to the identified material The problem content is extracted, and the learning content for reproducing the extracted problem content on the operation terminal 120 is transmitted to the operation terminal 120 that is the transmission source of the identification information of the person to be learned.

  According to the learning support program of the embodiment according to the present invention, the learning target person's learning progress is determined according to the contents of the learning material (learning person's learning material) used by the learning object in school lessons and the like. The problem content of the difficulty level or importance level combined can be reproduced on the operation terminal 120 of the person to be learned. This makes it possible to easily and reliably provide problem content suitable for each learning target person, that is, tailor-made problem content for each learning target person, without performing manual management.
