Description

The present invention relates to a real-time proficiency support system for increasing the proficiency level of a user for proficiency target software.
The “learning support system” as used in this specification refers to the user's proficiency with the proficiency target software when the user actually operates the proficiency target software and the user obtains a response according to the operation. A system that supports It is a different concept from a “learning support system” for simply learning how to use and an “evaluation system” for simply evaluating user operations. The system that supports the user's proficiency in the proficiency target software by allowing the user to actually operate the proficiency target software and obtaining a response according to the operation. This is equivalent to a “learning support system”.

  The “real-time learning support system” referred to in this specification refers to a learning support system that can determine in real time the operation of the learning target software by the user. It does not matter whether or not there is a determination button, but what is determined only when the user presses the determination button is not the “real-time learning support system” in this specification.

  Even if it is a test system as a superficial appearance, it is not just a test of the user's ability, but the user actually operates the learning target software, and the user learns the learning target software. The system that can determine the operation in real time during the test, and the user can get a response according to the operation, so that the proficiency level for the target software can be increased during the test. It corresponds to "support system".

  The “learning target software” referred to in the present specification refers to software that is a target of learning by the user and is not included in the learning support system. Typical examples are commercially available software such as word processor software, spreadsheet software, presentation software, and drawing software.

In the past, it was mainstream to learn the operation method as knowledge based on manuals, usage books, etc.
However, when the applicant actually operates the learning target software under the concept of “get used to learning”, the control program different from the learning target software sends a response on the computer according to the user's operation. The software “Narello” (registered trademark) has been developed.

  In addition, although not a “learning support system”, an “evaluation system” for evaluating a file created by a user is an “file creation capability automatic evaluation device” described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-256088. However, in the “learning support system”, although the learning target software is running as a process, it is not only left to the operation by the learning target software, but also returns a response according to the operation of the user, Since it is necessary to support the proficiency with the target software, complex software is required. For this reason, there is no background technology other than “Narello” developed by the applicant as the “learning support system”.

  The conventional “learning support system” (Narello) received input from the user using a control program different from the proficiency target software, and determined whether the user's operation of the proficiency target software was appropriate. . In the conventional “learning support system”, the control program obtains the object of the learning target software (including objects such as graphics included in the document being operated on the learning target software), and sets it as the object property at the time of determination. It is a natural premise to make a determination based on this, and those skilled in the art have no doubts about this point.

  In addition, in the conventional “learning support system” (Narello), real-time determination that further complicates the control is not considered, and it is natural to make the determination only when the user presses the determination button. It was assumed that the person skilled in the art had no doubt about this point.

  In addition, the conventional “learning support system” is determined by accessing the objects and properties of the learning target software using VBA (Visual Basic for Application) or COM (Component Object Model) and controlling the learning target software. It was done.

  VBA is a program for controlling application software such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint of Microsoft, and operates on these application software. COM is a means for controlling these application software from an external program.

  However, even if VBA or COM is used, not all objects and properties can be directly acquired due to the specifications of application software. Examples of such application software include Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

  However, even in the conventional “learning support system”, not all objects and properties can be directly acquired, but the software to be acquired is determined as the learning target software. Otherwise, it may be necessary to present a problem that cannot be correctly determined. In that case, the conventional “learning support system” gave up obtaining such an object or property, and made a correct / incorrect determination assuming that the object or property had a correct value. Even if configured in this way, in the conventional “learning support system”, the correctness / incorrectness is determined when the user presses the determination button, and the correctness / incorrectness is not displayed while the user is inputting, so there is no particular problem. It was. However, in the real-time judgment that makes correct / incorrect judgment in the middle of inputting the answer to the question, if the problem cannot be judged correctly unless such an object or property is judged correctly, Even when the user has entered the value, even if the user intends to enter the value, it will be displayed as a correct answer, causing a problem of misleading the user.

  As described above, the “real-time learning support system” does not exist at all in the conventional technology, and there is no related prior art.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a “real-time learning support system” that has never existed in the prior art.

  The present invention is a real-time proficiency support system for supporting proficiency in proficiency target software in real time, and displays problem generation means for generating a problem for the user and problems generated by the problem generation means to the user. A display means, a control means having a control program for acquiring data relating to the state of the learning target software, an operability storage unit for receiving data that can be directly acquired by the control program upon receiving an output of the control means; A non-operability storage unit that stores at least data that cannot be directly acquired by the control program, data stored in the operability storage unit, and data stored in the non-operability storage unit, Determining means for determining in real time the operation for the problem.

  The present invention is also a method of operating a real-time learning support system that supports real-time learning of the learning target software, the step of generating a problem for the user, and the step of displaying the generated problem to the user A step in which the control program acquires data relating to the state of the learning target software, a step in which data that can be directly acquired by the control program is stored in the operability storage unit, and at least the control program directly acquires. Storing the data that cannot be stored in the non-operability storage unit, and using the data stored in the operability storage unit and the data stored in the non-operability storage unit, the determination on the operation for the user problem Performing steps. The operation method of the real-time learning support system does not have to be in the order of each step, and may include each step regardless of the presence or absence of other steps (for example, “store in the operability storage unit”). "Use the stored data and the data stored in the non-operational storage unit" is not necessary to use both simultaneously in one problem, and may be used in a plurality of problems). The real-time learning support system and the operation method thereof may be realized by applying a program or a storage medium storing the program to a computer.

According to the present invention, there is an effect that it is possible to provide a “real-time learning support system” that has never existed in the prior art.
By providing the “real-time learning support system” according to the present invention, the following derivative effects can be obtained.

  In self-study, unlike teacher-instructed classes, teachers are not motivated or forced by learners, so whether they can continue to learn without frustration Depends largely on the learners' desire to learn. In other words, it is important to maintain the learner's willingness to learn independently. Maintaining the learner's willingness to learn in a self-study learning environment is important for enhancing the learning effect. In order to increase the learner's willingness to learn, a technique that incorporates a game element called “gamification” has been used, and results in improving learning willingness. By realizing a real-time proficiency support system, gamification can also be incorporated in the proficiency support system, and the effect of improving the learner's willingness to learn can be expected. In addition, since correct / incorrect evaluations are made in response to user operations, the user feels immersive in his / her own operation (how consciousness is poured into the object and how others are not concerned) I can expect to improve my motivation and learning motivation.

  As an embodiment of the real-time proficiency support system of the present invention, a real-time proficiency support system related to proficiency of presentation software will be described as an example. In addition, embodiment described here is an example of implementation of this invention, and this invention is not limited to an Example.

  FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a real-time proficiency support system 100 related to proficiency of presentation software (for example, Microsoft PowerPoint). The outline of the system will be described below with reference to FIG.

  The input unit 101 is a part where the user actually operates the real-time learning support system 100. Specific examples of the input unit 101 include a keyboard, a mouse, and a voice input device.

  The control unit 102 is an example of a “control unit”, includes a control program that is a program different from the presentation software to be mastered, and operates in response to a user operation from the input unit 101. The “control means” in this specification refers to a part that controls the learning support system.

  One example of a language for creating a control program is Microsoft's VB (Visual Basic). VB mentioned here is a different type of programming language from VBA described above. VBA is a language with a description method similar to VB for the purpose of controlling software such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint of Microsoft, and is a program different from these software. Is executed. On the other hand, VB is a language for creating a general-purpose program, and is not a language used for a specific purpose.

The control program is not limited in the language to be created, and can be created in a general-purpose language such as C # or C ++.
FIG. 15 is a general explanatory diagram showing the relationship between various programming languages and COM.

  The control program can control the learning target software by accessing an object model constituting the learning target software. As an example of a method for accessing this object model, for example, there is a method using VBA that operates on the learning target software, or a method that uses COM from a program that operates outside the learning target software. The method for the control program to control the learning target software is not limited to the VBA method and the COM method.

  The operability storage unit 103 is an example of an “operability storage unit”, and stores object properties that can be directly acquired by the control program as data related to the state of the learning target software operated by the user. It is a storage unit. The “operability storage unit” in this specification refers to a part that stores data that can be directly acquired by the control program.

  In this specification, “the control program can directly acquire” means that the control program can acquire data (object, property, etc.) related to the state of the learning target software by operating the object.

  For example, when the control program controls the PowerPoint using COM, the control program can operate the PowerPoint object to obtain the properties of the object included in the slide of the PowerPoint (FIG. 5, FIG. 6). The fact that the control program can be acquired using COM in this way is an example of “the control program can be acquired directly”. However, as described above, even if COM is used, the properties of all objects cannot be acquired. Examples that cannot be obtained will be described later.

As the operability storage unit 103, any storage unit such as a memory, a hard disk, or a storage device on the cloud can be used.
The display unit 104 is a part that displays the output of the real-time learning support system 101. Specific examples of the display unit 104 include a display, a projector, and a terminal remotely connected through the Internet.

  The problem generation unit 105 is a part that generates a problem to be presented to the user. The problem generation unit 105 generates a problem to be presented to the user by selecting a problem from a plurality of problems stored in an internal database or an external database connected via a network or the like. Alternatively, the problem stored in the database may be corrected, and a problem that is created on the spot and presented to the user may be generated. Further, a problem to be presented to the user may be generated according to the user's selection, or the problem may be generated in a random order. The problem generated by the problem generation unit 105 is displayed on the display unit 104.

  The non-operability storage unit 106 is an example of a non-operability storage unit, is a storage unit different from the operability storage unit 103, and stores data including data that cannot be directly acquired by the control program of the control unit 102 This is a storage unit. The “non-operability storage unit” in this specification is a part that stores at least data that cannot be directly acquired by the control program. In this specification, “data that cannot be directly acquired by the control program” means data that does not correspond to “data that can be directly acquired by the control program”.

  For example, the control program saves the contents of the user's operations in the learning target software to a file, and the data obtained by analyzing the file is based on the specifications of the learning target software. Since the round property cannot be directly acquired, it may include “data that cannot be directly acquired by the control program”, such as a value indicating the roundness of a rounded rectangle described later.

  As the non-operation storage unit 106, any storage unit such as a memory, a hard disk, or a storage unit on the cloud can be used. Further, the non-operability storage unit 106 and the operability storage unit 103 may be different parts (for example, different files) of the same storage device (for example, a hard disk).

  The determination unit 107 is an example of a “determination unit”, and is a part that determines whether or not the user's operation on the learning target software is appropriate using at least the contents stored in the non-operability storage unit 106. . The “determination means” in this specification refers to a portion that performs a determination on the operation of the user's learning target software.

  For example, in the case of making a judgment on the proficiency target software for the problem “Please insert a rounded rectangle and change the roundness of the corners”, the conventional control program makes a judgment by acquiring a graphic object. I will try. However, the properties that indicate the type of shape and the properties that indicate the size and position of the shape are retained in the shape object, but the properties that indicate the roundness of the rounded rectangle are directly related to the specifications of the software to be mastered. Since it cannot be acquired, the control unit 102 cannot make a determination with respect to the problem of “insert a rounded rectangle and change the rounded corners”. Then, as I mentioned earlier, there was a limit that we couldn't create problems that needed to analyze such properties.

The determination unit 107 uses the data stored in the non-operability storage unit 106 to make a determination, which makes it possible to make a determination that was not possible until now.
In this embodiment, many problems are recorded in the learning support system, and the determination unit 107 stores the contents stored in the operability storage unit 103 and the non-operability storage unit 106 according to the question to be presented. The determination can be made using either one or both of the stored contents.

  As an example of data stored in the non-operability storage unit 106, a file that can be saved in the format of Office Open XML that is operated by the user in the learning target software (Created based on Office Open XML) The file is composed of a plurality of XML files, and these are compressed into a single document by compressing them with ZIP. In this case, the determination unit 107 uses decompression means for decompressing the compressed file. For example, it is conceivable that the determination unit 107 uses a decompression program (including an executable file, a DLL, a routine in a control program, etc.) of a compressed file such as a ZIP file. Note that “decompression” in the present specification means that compressed data is not compressed.

  In this example, the determination unit 107 decompresses the compressed file and analyzes the XML file. As an example of analysis, by searching for and analyzing attributes related to the value of rounded corners, the problem of "Please insert rounded squares and change rounded corners" Judgment can be made. In addition, a control program may be used for a determination and analysis, and another program may be used.

  In this way, by using the stored contents of the non-operability storage unit 106, it is impossible to determine with the conventional learning support system, “Please insert a rounded rectangle and change the rounded corners” A decision can be made on the problem.

  In order to realize real-time determination, the determination unit 107 can acquire in real time the work state performed by the user on the learning target software and monitor whether or not the evaluation criterion is satisfied. In the present embodiment, real-time monitoring of the working state is realized by applying a technique called polling.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, the determination unit 107 can periodically acquire the user's work state and check whether the evaluation standard is satisfied. Although the real-time property can be improved by shortening the determination interval, the load on the personal computer increases.

  Therefore, as another embodiment, the load on the personal computer can be reduced while improving the real-time property by the following device. The determination is not performed while the user is performing an input operation using a mouse or a keyboard, and the determination is performed when the user is not performing an input operation.

  For example, it is monitored whether or not the user is performing an input operation. If the input operation is being performed, the determination is interrupted. The determination is resumed when the user has not performed an input operation for a certain period of time.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of a screen of the real-time learning support system 101. An example of the screen will be described below with reference to FIG.
The learning target software window 201 is a window for outputting a screen of the learning target software. The actual screen output depends on the operation of the learning target software.

  The problem window 202 displays problems to be presented to the user. In this example, referring to the completed example in the upper left, the question “Please insert a rounded rectangle and change the roundness of the corner” is given.

  The determination result window 203 displays a determination result for a user operation. In this example, the center rectangle drawn by the user's operation is not the correct rounded rectangle in the upper left corner of the completed example, so the determination result is determined to be an incorrect answer, and the determination result is × Is displayed.

  The learning target software menu 204 displays various commands of the learning target software. Users can execute arbitrary commands and operations, and can become familiar with the target software.

  The real-time learning support system menu 205 displays various commands of the real-time learning support system 101. The user can perform various operations such as requesting display of a comment on the problem, requesting determination, or moving to another problem.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an example of a process for determining whether an operation performed by the user on the application is correct in the determination using the determination button. The real-time proficiency support system 101 can be configured to press the determination button when the correct answer is not known or the like (note that the determination is performed before pressing the determination button also when the determination by the determination button is used together). Corresponds to real-time determination), and determination that is not real-time (determination only when the determination button is pressed) can be used in combination according to the problem to be asked. An example of processing will be described below with reference to FIG.

In step S1, a question sentence as a task is displayed.
In step S2, the learning target software (Office as an example) corresponding to the problem is activated to obtain an Office object. For example, if the problem is related to PowerPoint, PowerPoint is started. If the problem is related to Excel, Excel is started.

In step S3, the input state of the user's mouse or keyboard is acquired.
In step S4, it is determined whether the user presses the determination button.
In step S5, the work state performed by the user is acquired.

In step S6, the work state performed by the user is compared with the evaluation criteria.
Whether the user's work state is correct is determined by comparing the evaluation criteria set in advance with the user's work state and satisfying the evaluation criteria. A plurality of criteria can be set for one problem. When a plurality of determination criteria are provided, a partial point may be given if all the determination criteria are not correct but partially correct. For example, the partial points may be displayed on the screen, and the user may be prompted to select whether to continue answering (shift to step S3) or to move to the next question (shift to step S8).

In step S7, a determination is made based on the comparison in step S6, and the determination result is displayed. If the answer is incorrect, the process returns to step S3. If the answer is correct, the process proceeds to step S8.
In step S8, it is determined whether this problem is the last problem. If it is not the last problem, the process returns to step S1 to display the next problem. If it is the last problem, exit.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of real-time determination processing. Steps S3 to S10 are determination processes. Differences from the determination using the determination button of FIG. 3 will be described. In step S3, the input state by the user's mouse, keyboard, or the like is acquired, and information on the time when there is no input is acquired. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the user is in the middle of the operation. If in the middle of the operation, the determination is temporarily interrupted in step S5. If there is no input for a certain time, the determination is restarted in step S6. In step S7, determination is waited for a determination interval (for example, 2 seconds), and when the determination interval elapses, the process proceeds to next step S8. In step S8, the work state of the user is acquired, and in step S9, the work state is compared with the evaluation criteria. In step S10, a determination is made based on the comparison in step S9. If the answer is correct, the result is displayed and the process proceeds to the next step S11. The subsequent steps are the same as those in FIG. If the result of determination in step S10 is incorrect, the process returns to step S3 and repeats determination.

  The above processing flow is an example. For example, the application may be activated first. Further, it is not necessary to use a fixed determination interval, and the determination may not be interrupted when the user is performing an input operation such as a mouse or a keyboard. In addition, the user can use the menu of the real-time learning support system 101 as appropriate to see various explanations about the problem or move to another problem.

The details of the step (step S8) of acquiring the user's (worker) work condition will be described in comparison with a conventional learning support system (Narello).
Generally, when acquiring the work state performed by the user using Office, as described above, a program language called VBA for automating Office is used. In the conventional learning support system, VBA was initially used, but since a program had to be created for each individual learning target software, VB, a general-purpose programming language, was used as a learning target from outside COM. By using software control technology, it is possible to handle multiple types of proficiency target software.

  COM is a technology for reusing software proposed by Microsoft. It is used for communication between application software and API (Application Programming Interface) between an operating system and application software.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a program for starting Office (here, PowerPoint) using COM. An Office object (in this case, a PowerPoint object) is stored in the variable App. By manipulating this variable App, an attribute (property) of PowerPoint can be acquired.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which the working state is acquired using the properties of the Office object using COM. In this program, “the type of figure inserted in the slide of PowerPoint (AutoShapeType property of Shape object)” is acquired. As a result, it is possible to acquire a working state indicating what type of figure the user has inserted.

  However, in this work state acquisition method, there are cases where objects and properties cannot be acquired due to the specifications of the learning target software, so there are restrictions on the acquisition of the work state, and there are also restrictions on the setting and determination of evaluation criteria.

  In the present embodiment, as a new method of acquiring a work state that cannot be acquired by this method of acquiring the work state, an additional step of saving to a file is performed, and further, a step of changing the file name and decompressing the file is performed. Added.

First, a method for acquiring a work state according to the present embodiment will be described.
Microsoft Office has used a unique binary format for storing data, but since Office 2007 released on January 30, 2007, the standard described in XML has been adopted as a standard file format. That is Office Open XML.

A file created based on Office Open XML is composed of a plurality of XML files, and these are compressed into a single document by compressing them in the ZIP format.
If a file created based on Office Open XML is decompressed in ZIP format, a plurality of XML files constituting the file can be acquired.

  For example, the extension “.zip” is given to “test.pptx”, which is a PowerPoint file, and the name is changed to “test.pptx.zip”. Since Office Open XML is in the ZIP format, when this file is decompressed with decompression software or the like corresponding to the ZIP format, it can be seen that it is composed of a plurality of XML files. FIG. 7 shows the structure of the XML file.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of acquisition of a work state in a conventional learning support system. Get the working status from the Office object and properties. Also in this embodiment, the work state acquisition flowchart of FIG. 8 can be used according to the problem to be asked.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of acquisition of a work state in the present embodiment. In step S1, the Office document is stored in a file. The saved file is in the Office Open XML format. In step S2, the file name is changed to a ZIP file. Note that decompression may be performed without changing the file name. In step S3, the ZIP file is decompressed, and the XML file is obtained by decompression. In step S4, the XML file is analyzed to obtain the work state.

According to the present embodiment, it is possible to acquire a work state that is impossible with the conventional learning support system.
Next, a method for obtaining an evaluation criterion that is a premise of the present embodiment will be described. Note that such an evaluation standard acquisition method is used in a document file saved in the Office Open XML format, in addition to the document content itself, information such as the document creator and the document creation date and time is also included. This is because if the document creator and the creation date / time are different, the document files will be different even if the document contents themselves match. For example, if you evaluate by simply comparing the correct document file and the document file created by the user, even if the user answers correctly, the correct document file and the document file created by the user are Since they do not match, it cannot be determined as a correct answer. Although it may be possible to analyze and determine the difference between the two, the real-time property may be lowered. Therefore, in this embodiment, an evaluation criterion that can improve real-time performance is created in advance.

An evaluation criterion is a condition for determining a correct answer, and a plurality of evaluation criteria can be provided for one problem.
The evaluation standard is obtained by analyzing an XML file that is a document file for which a correct operation has been performed. XML is composed of elements, attributes, and values. An element in which the work state relating to the correct work is described is searched from the document file that has performed the correct work, and the attribute or value of the obtained element is acquired. That is, even if it cannot be acquired as an object or a property, it can be acquired as an XML element, attribute, or value.

It takes time to find out which element describes the correct work state. This is because the document file is large.
Therefore, the target element can be found by comparing the work state before performing the work that is the correct answer and the work state after performing the work and examining where the difference (different part) is.

  An example of obtaining evaluation criteria will be shown. Assume that an evaluation criterion indicating roundness of a rounded quadrangular corner is obtained. The left side of FIG. 13 is an XML file “before work” and the right side “after work”. In “Before work”, the element itself does not exist because an operation related to rounding of the rounded rectangle is not performed. In the boldface “after work”, elements relating to operations related to rounding of rounded rectangles are described. By comparing “before work” and “after work” in this way, it is possible to narrow down candidates for which elements the values necessary for the evaluation criteria are described in.

In this example, the bold portion of “after work”, ie, the “a: gd” element whose name attribute is ““ adj ”, and the value of the attribute“ fmla ”is“ val 4598 ”are described. I understand that.
The location of an element can also be described in a language syntax called XPath (XML Path Language). XPath is a language syntax that specifies a specific part of a document that conforms to XML. For example, ““ \ ppt \ slides \ slide1.xml, / p: sld / p: cSld [1] / p: spTree [1] / p: sp [1] / p: spPr [1] / a: prstGeom [ “1] / a: avLst [1] / a: gd [1]” is an example in which the location of the element in the bold part “after work” is described in XPath.

  When expressed using XPath in this way, “\ ppt \ slides \ slide1.xml, / p: sld / p: cSld [1] / p: spTree [1] / p: sp [1] / p: spPr [ 1] / a: prstGeom [1] / a: avLst [1] / a: gd [1] “The location is specified, and the value of the attribute“ fmla ”of the element whose name attribute is“ adj “is“ val 4598 The condition of “is the evaluation criterion.

Next, determination according to the present embodiment will be described.
The determination as to whether the user's work status is correct is made by comparing the evaluation criteria set in advance with the user's work status and satisfying the evaluation criteria. In the case where a plurality of evaluation criteria are provided, a determination is made based on the individual evaluation criteria, and even if all the evaluation criteria are not correct, partial points are given if they are partially correct.

(1) Evaluation criteria (2) Acquisition of a user's work state (3) determination in this embodiment will be described using a specific example.
Here, the problem of “sharp the corner of the figure“ rounded rectangle ”on the slide 1 of PowerPoint” is used as an example. FIG. 10 shows a state before work and FIG. 11 shows a state after work for the same problem as FIG.

(1) Evaluation Criteria As described above, the evaluation criteria indicating the roundness of a rounded quadrangular rectangle is “\ ppt \ slides \ slide1.xml, / p: sld / p: cSld [1] / p” when XPath is used. : spTree [1] / p: sp [1] / p: spPr [1] / a: prstGeom [1] / a: avLst [1] / a: gd [1] The location is specified and the name attribute is The value of the attribute “fmla” of the element ““ adj ”is“ val 4598 ”.

  It may be necessary to provide an acceptable range for the evaluation criteria. For example, this is a case where it is difficult for the user to perform an operation so as to completely match the evaluation standard value. In such a case, for example, the allowable range of roundness of the corner is set to + -50, and if the user's operation falls within the allowable range, the correct answer is obtained.

(2) Acquisition of the user's work state The method for acquiring the user's work state is as described in the above-mentioned "Method for acquiring the work state according to this embodiment". It is only about evaluation criteria. That is, “\ ppt \ slides \ slide1.xml, / p: sld / p: cSld [1] / p: spTree [1] / p: sp [1] / p: spPr [1] / a: prstGeom [1 ] / a: avLst [1] / a: gd [1] The location is specified by the XPath, and the value of the attribute “fmla” of the element whose name attribute is ““ adj ”is acquired.

FIG. 14 shows an example of acquisition of a user's work state, and the bold portion relates to the evaluation criteria. It can be seen that the value is “val 4578”.
(3) Determination Although the value of the user's work state is “val 4578”, it does not completely match the evaluation standard value “val 4598”. Here, the allowable range is set to + −50, and it falls within this range, so that it is determined as the correct answer.

By analyzing the XML file in this way, it becomes possible to make a determination regarding the roundness of the rounded quadrangle that was not possible with the conventional learning support system.
The above description is an example of a learning support system, and those skilled in the art can implement the present invention in various other embodiments. Any statement in this specification should not be construed as an expression of intent to exclude various embodiments (including the scope of equivalence) that can be implemented by those skilled in the art from the scope of the present invention.

  As an example of another embodiment, a person skilled in the art can naturally assume that the learning support system is not only operated by a single computer system, but also by a plurality of computers connected via a network. . For example, the problem generation unit 105 may be executed by a computer on the server, and the problem may be displayed on the display unit 104 of the client terminal via the network.

  It should be noted that those skilled in the art can naturally assume that a program that causes a computer to operate as a proficiency support system is compatible with a network and a cloud as well as a program that causes a computer to operate on a stand-alone computer.
