Description

  The present invention relates to an e-learning system.

  In recent years, diversity advanced companies have introduced training on unconscious bias (unconscious bias) as part of in-house training. Unconscious bias refers to unconsciously biasing things unconsciously due to the past circumstances, local culture, customs, and other factors.

  For training on unconscious bias, a form of group training in which a lecturer and a plurality of participants gather at the same venue is widely adopted. However, if the training can be performed in the form of e-learning, the instructor and the trainee do not need to gather at the same venue, which can reduce costs such as venue costs and eliminate the need to adjust the time for the trainer and the trainee. It is convenient.

  In training on unconscious bias, there are many contents that mainly promote understanding of unconscious bias, and there are few contents that go into recognizing and reducing the existence of unconscious bias in practical situations.

International Publication No. WO 2017/154215

  An IAT (Implicit Association Test) may be used to recognize unconscious bias. The IAT can measure the level of unconscious bias. Therefore, if the student is caused to perform the IAT and the result of the IAT is presented to the student, the student can be notified of the unconscious bias possessed by the student. If the trainee can recognize (accept) his / her own unconscious bias, the trainee can be taught and learned how to control (manage) the unconscious bias.

  However, in e-learning training, it is difficult to simply present the results of the student's own IAT to the trainee until the trainee recognizes their own unconscious bias. Can not learn.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an e-learning system that enables a student to satisfactorily recognize information that the student should recognize.

  In order to achieve the above object, an e-learning system according to the present invention is an e-learning system including an e-learning server communicably connected to a plurality of student terminals operated by each student via a communication network. The e-learning server includes a communication unit, a storage unit, and a control unit, and the control unit transmits a question regarding information to be recognized by the student to one of the student terminals from the communication unit. A question transmission process, a response reception process in which the student operates the student terminal from the student terminal receiving the question, and receives an answer input in the communication unit, and that the response is received in the communication unit in the response reception process. The answer storage process for storing the answer in the storage unit in accordance with the answer, and a student different from the student who has input the answer received in the answer receiving process from the answers stored in the storage unit. Terminal The answer selection process of selecting one of the answers input by operating one of the two, and the answer transmission process of transmitting the answer selected in the answer selection process to the student terminal to which the answer received in the answer reception process from the communication unit is transmitted I do.

  According to this configuration, a screen including a question regarding information to be recognized by the student himself is transmitted from the e-learning server to one of the student terminals. In response, a screen containing a question regarding the unconscious bias is displayed on the student terminal. Then, when the student operates the student terminal and inputs an answer to the question, the answer is transmitted from the student terminal to the e-learning server. In the e-learning server, the answer received from the student terminal is stored in the storage unit. In the e-learning server, an answer input by another student different from the student inputting the received answer is selected. Then, the selected answer is transmitted from the e-learning server to the student terminal. In response, the student terminal displays a screen including the answer entered by the other student.

  The student can confirm the answers of the other students, and the confirmation allows the student to well recognize the information to be recognized by the student. The control unit, in the answer selection process, based on the attribute information including at least one of the age, gender, and the number of subordinates of the student who has input the answer received in the answer receiving process, the answer stored in the storage unit. From among them, a predetermined number of answers by another student having attribute information close to the attribute information may be selected.

  Further, in the answer selection process, the control unit may select a predetermined number of answers from the answers stored in the storage unit in order from the newly stored answer by another student.

  The information to be recognized by the students themselves may be unconscious bias.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, a student can be made to recognize the information which a student should recognize well. In addition, it is possible for the student to gain the ability to appropriately control the judgment and behavior of the student through practical opportunities.

Further, the student terminal 3 includes a display 14 for displaying various information, and an operation unit 15 for inputting various information. The display 14 is, for example, a liquid crystal display. The operation unit 15 may be a keyboard and a mouse, or may be a touch panel provided on the screen of the display 14.

<Login>
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the login screen 20.

  A student who attends e-learning provided by the e-learning system 1 operates the student terminal 3 to access the server 2 (web site of an e-learning distributor) via the Internet 4. In response to this access, the information of the login screen 20 is transmitted from the server 2 to the student terminal 3, and the login screen 20 is displayed on the display 14 of the student terminal 3.

  On the log-in screen 20, a user ID input box 21 and a password input box 22 are displayed in two rows above and below. A login button 23 is displayed below the password input box 22. The user ID input box 21 is a box for inputting a user ID. The password input box 22 is a box for inputting a login password. When the operation unit 15 is operated to input a user ID in the user ID input box 21 and a login password in the password input box 22, and then press the login button 23, the input user ID and login password are input. Is determined. Then, the user ID and the login password are transmitted from the student terminal 3 to the server 2.

  The server 2 that has received the user ID and the login password performs login authentication. In the storage unit 11 of the server 2, user IDs and login passwords for all e-learning students are registered in association with each other. In the login authentication, it is determined whether or not the combination of the user ID and the login password received from the student terminal 3 is registered in the storage unit 11. When the combination of the user ID and the login password is registered in the storage unit 11, the server 2 determines that the login authentication is successful, and when the combination is not registered, it determines that the login authentication has failed. When the user authentication is successful, distribution of the e-learning content from the server 2 to the student terminal 3 is started.

<Content selection screen>
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the content selection screen 30.

  When the login authentication is successful, a content selection screen 30 is displayed on the student terminal 3. On the content selection screen 30, a list of contents distributed by e-learning is displayed. The e-learning on unconscious bias includes, for example, a total of 10 lectures (contents). In the content list, the title of each content, the content, and the estimated time required from the start to the end of the content are displayed. In addition, a time limit for attending each content and a progress rate of each content are displayed. On the content selection screen 30, by clicking the content title, it is possible to instruct the start of each content.

  This e-learning (program) allows the students to first understand the unconscious bias as knowledge, then notices that the students themselves have an unconscious bias, and then reduces the students' unconscious bias. It is characterized by a series of processes for learning how to control it, and it is a new one that is not available in group training (classroom training) as well as conventional e-learning.

<Introduction>
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the self-check screen 40. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the self-check result screen 50.

  The first content is positioned as “introduction” to make the unconscious bias understood as knowledge. When the first (first) content title is clicked on the content selection screen 30, distribution of the confectionery content is started. This content includes a “self-check”, and a self-check screen 40 is displayed on the display 14 of the student terminal 3 during the progress of the content.

  On the self-check screen 40, a question for "self-check" is displayed. The questions for the “self-check” are designed to make the students feel that the students are conscious of controlling the answers. To be specific, if the student does not actually think so, but should answer so, it is proof that the proper use of the real intention and the premise is evidence that the unconscious bias can be controlled. It is designed to make it easier to control the bias. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the arrangement of the questions is designed to make it easy to recognize an unconscious bias, such as the same question but different genders.

  Each question on the self-check screen 40 is created by a multiple choice method. When the answer to each question is clicked, information (answer information) corresponding to the clicked answer is transmitted from the student terminal 3 to the server 2. In the server 2 that has received the answer information, the answer information is collected and stored in the storage unit 11.

  When the “self-check” is completed, a self-check result screen 50 is displayed on the display 14 of the student terminal 3. On the self-check result screen 50, as shown in FIG. 5, the result obtained by collecting the answers obtained from the students up to that time for each question for "self-check" is displayed. For example, the question "Do you consult a female employee with a one-year-old child on an overseas business trip?" And the question "Do you consult a male employee with a one-year-old child on an overseas business trip?" For the answer, "YES", "NO", and "I am lost" are prepared, and the ratio of each answer is displayed in the form of a bar graph as a result of the aggregation of the past student's answers.

  By displaying the self-check result screen 50, the student can compare with the answer result of another student, and understand that it is quantitatively shown that he / she is not necessarily unconsciously biased. Create a feeling.
