Description

  The present invention relates to a learning support system when learning is performed using a computer.

  In recent years, so-called e-learning, in which education is performed using a computer, is being expanded in education at educational institutions and training at companies. In particular, with the advent of tablet computers, it is expected to spread because it can be directly written on a touch panel display device without using a keyboard.

  There are two types of e-learning. The first method is a method in which the contents of a lesson are recorded in advance, distributed as streaming, and viewed by students and students (hereinafter simply referred to as “learners”). The second method is a place where a class or lecture (hereinafter simply referred to as “class”) is being held, a communication terminal such as a tablet computer operated by the learner, and a teacher or lecturer (hereinafter simply “ This is a method of conducting classes while exchanging various data with a communication terminal operated by a teacher.

  In the second method, the teacher and the learner interact with each other using the communication terminal on the spot. Unlike the first method, which is merely watching the screen of the communication terminal, the conventional method is more effective. There are features that make it interactive. In this case, for example, operations performed by the teacher on the communication terminal are distributed to each learner's communication terminal, or operations performed by the learner are distributed to the teacher's communication terminal. It needs to be shared between teachers and learners. Therefore, a system sharing such information processing is disclosed, for example, in Patent Document 1 below.

Japanese Patent No. 5086486

  By using the information output sharing system of Patent Document 1, information can be shared between a teacher and a learner. However, in a class, there is a case where it is desired to perform an operation for distributing information only to a specific learner or only to learners belonging to a specific group. In this case, in the information output sharing system disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to specify in advance to which client the distribution source client distributes. Or it may be set to know in advance what your clients belong to which group, must specify the destination by specifying the group that has been set.

  That is, as represented by Patent Document 1, in a conventional information sharing system, the distribution source specifies the information to be distributed at the time of distribution, or the distribution destinations are grouped in advance, and the group is determined at the time of distribution. The method of specifying is taken.

  For example, in learning at school, there is a case where a learner can solve a problem in order to improve the degree of understanding. Then, the learner who has finished answering the question uploads the answer to the answer by a predetermined method. In this case, both learners who have already completed the answer and learners who are still answering are mixed. For learners who have completed the answer, there is a method of waiting in the seat as it is, but this is a waste of time. Therefore, it is preferable to distribute the model answer only to the learners who have completed the answer and to examine it.

  However, in the information output sharing system of Patent Document 1 and the conventional method, the teacher must identify the learner who has completed the answer by some method, and distribute the model answer individually to the learner. I must. In addition, since the answers are made on the learner's computer, in order to prevent fraudulent acts, such as obtaining the model answer after submitting (uploading) the answer, referring to it, and correcting the submitted answer again. However, some or all of the operations must be prohibited, but this is difficult with Patent Document 1 and the conventional method. Therefore, teachers must always monitor the system, which is a heavy burden.

  There are also cases where classes are divided into a plurality of groups and work is performed for each group. In such a case, it is necessary to give an instruction for each group. However, in the case of an information output sharing system such as Patent Document 1, a teacher must set a group in advance. And setting which learner belongs to which group is a burden for teachers, and changing it is also a burden.

  In view of the above problems, the present inventors have invented a learning support system.

A first invention is a learning support system for supporting learning of a learner, wherein the learning support system includes a submission information storage unit that stores the submission information of the learner in a storage area divided for each group, A group identification processing unit for identifying a group to which the learner and / or learner's terminal having the submission information stored in the submission information storage unit belongs based on a storage area in which the submission information is stored; and the learner The teacher uses the group management unit that stores the learner's terminal and the identified group in association with each other , and the information distributed to the learner's terminal and the information of the group that distributes the information. Based on the group management unit, the learner and / or the learner terminal that is received from the teacher terminal is identified based on the group management unit. Against learner terminal, and the information distribution unit for distributing the information received from the teacher terminal, a learning support system having a.

  In the present invention, the storage area to be submitted is divided into groups, and when the submission information is stored in the storage area, the learner who submitted (stored) the submission information is automatically set as the group. To manage. Conventionally, when performing grouping, the teacher needs to register the learner for each group on the system, but the configuration of the present invention eliminates such a burden on the teacher.

  In the above-described invention, the information distribution processing unit generates control information generated based on control instruction information received from the teacher terminal with respect to a learner and / or a learner terminal managed by the group management unit. Can be configured like a learning support system including a control information distribution processing unit for distributing.

  In the above-described invention, the information distribution processing unit distributes screen information displayed on the teacher terminal to learners and / or learner terminals managed by the group management unit. Can be configured like a learning support system.

  There are various types of information distributed to the learner's terminal, and the above can be used. For example, if it is control information, predetermined control can be performed on the learner's terminal of the learner who submitted the submission information. Therefore, if control information such as “execution of operation lock” is sent, the learner This makes it impossible to operate the terminal and prevents fraud. In addition, if you send part or all of the shared information, for example, a “model answer” for an exam question as information, the model answer is delivered only to the learner who submitted the submitted information, and the extra time is considered. I can keep it. Furthermore, by sending the information on the screen displayed on the teacher's terminal, for example, even if the model answer is not uploaded as shared information as a file, it is possible to view it as long as it is displayed. Is possible.

Moreover, each above-mentioned learning support system is realizable by running the program of the following invention on a computer. That is, for a learner and / or a learner's terminal that stores submission information in a storage area divided for each group, the group to which the computer belongs is specified based on the storage area in which the submission information is stored , A group identification processing unit that associates and stores the learner and / or learner's terminal and the identified group in a group management unit, information distributed to the learner's terminal, and information on a group that distributes the information; Is received from the teacher terminal used by the teacher, the learner belonging to the group and / or the learner terminal is identified based on the group management unit, and the identified learner and / or learner terminal is identified. , Configured as a learning support program that functions as an information distribution processing unit that distributes information received from the teacher terminal Door can be.

  The learning support system of the present invention does not simply share information uniformly between the teacher and the learner. For example, in the case of performing an examination, the learner who has completed the answer uses a predetermined method to determine the answer. By uploading data to the folder (directory), it is necessary to share information with a time difference, such as distributing model answers to only learners who have completed their answers, and grouping tasks on the teacher side. It can be done without.

  Further, when the learners are divided into a plurality of groups, the learners can be grouped without the teacher setting in advance which learner belongs to which group. As a result, faculty members can share information for each group without setting up grouping.

  An example of the overall conceptual diagram of the learning support system 1 of the present invention is shown in FIG. Moreover, the conceptual diagram of an example of the system configuration | structure of the learning assistance system 1 is shown in FIG.

  The learning support system 1 is a learning server that executes control processing based on a control server 2 used by a company managing the system, a teacher terminal 3 used by a teacher, and a control instruction issued by the teacher terminal 3. A user terminal 4. Note that the functions of the teacher terminal 3 and the learner terminal 4 to be described later are based on a function for giving a control instruction in the teacher terminal 3 and a control instruction received in the learner terminal 4 for convenience of explanation. Although the case where it has the function for performing control processing is demonstrated, not only one-way control is performed but bi-directional control may be performed. That is, by providing each function in the teacher terminal 3 and each function in the learner terminal 4 in each communication terminal, in some cases, it becomes the teacher terminal 3, and in other cases, it becomes the learner terminal 4. It can be constituted as follows.

  The management server 2, the teacher terminal 3, and the learner terminal 4 of the learning support system 1 are realized by various computers such as a server, a personal computer, and a portable communication terminal equipped with a touch panel display device. FIG. 3 shows an example of a hardware configuration of a normal computer (a computer other than a computer having a touch panel display device). When the management server 2, the teacher's terminal 3, and the learner's terminal 4 in the learning support system 1 are ordinary computers, an arithmetic device 70 such as a CPU that executes arithmetic processing of a program, a RAM that stores information, a hard disk, and the like Storage device 71, display device 72 such as a display, input device 73 such as a keyboard and pointing device (mouse, numeric keypad, etc.), processing results of arithmetic device 70 and information stored in storage device 71 such as the Internet and LAN And a communication device 74 for transmitting and receiving via the network.

  Of the computers constituting the learning support system 1, the teacher terminal 3 or the learner terminal 4 may be a portable communication terminal provided with a touch panel display device 82. FIG. 4 shows an example of a hardware configuration of a computer that is a portable communication terminal provided with a touch panel display device 82. In this case, an arithmetic device 80 such as a CPU that executes arithmetic processing of a program, a storage device 81 such as a RAM or a hard disk that stores information, a touch panel display device 82 such as a touch panel display that can be input by a touch panel, A communication device 83 that transmits and receives processing results of the arithmetic device 80 and information stored in the storage device 81 via a network such as the Internet or a LAN.

  The arithmetic devices 70 and 80, the storage devices 71 and 81, the communication devices 74 and 83, etc. in FIGS. 3 and 4 have the same functions. The touch panel display device 82 is a display in which the display device 72 and the input device 73 are integrated, and has the same function in terms of displaying. The touch panel type display device 82 is an apparatus in which the functions of the display device 72 and the input device 73 are integrated in that input can be performed directly on the display by a predetermined input device (such as a touch panel pen).

  1 and 2 show the case where the management server 2 is realized by a single computer, the functions may be distributed and realized in a plurality of computers.

  Each means in the present invention is only logically distinguished in function, and may be physically or virtually the same area.

  The teacher terminal 3 includes a shared information setting receiving unit 30 and a shared information transmission processing unit 31.

  The shared information setting reception unit 30 receives shared information to be shared by each learner's terminal 4, accepts setting of distribution timing, and receives control information to be performed by each learner's terminal 4. The shared information is information that should be distributed in common to each learner's terminal 4 and includes, for example, information such as test questions and model answers, but is not limited thereto. The shared information may include date / time information.

  The shared information transmission processing unit 31 sends the shared information received by the shared information setting receiving unit 30 to the management server 2. In this case, the shared information may be sent all at once, or may be sent in multiple times.

  The management server 2 controls the shared information reception processing unit 20, the shared information storage unit 21, the shared information distribution processing unit 22, the submission information monitoring processing unit 23, the submission information storage unit 24, the specific processing unit 25, the distribution destination management unit 26, and the control. And an information distribution processing unit 27.

  The shared information reception processing unit 20 receives the shared information sent from the teacher terminal 3 and stores a part or all of the shared information in the shared information storage unit 21 described later.

  The shared information storage unit 21 stores part or all of the shared information received by the shared information reception processing unit 20. For example, the test information in the shared information, its model answer, control information, and information on the conditions for sending the shared information at which timing are stored. FIG. 6 schematically shows an example of the shared information storage unit 21.

  The shared information distribution processing unit 22 distributes a part or all of the shared information stored in the shared information storage unit 21 to the learner terminal 4 at a predetermined timing. At this time, distribution is performed at the timing with reference to the distribution condition of the shared information stored in the shared information storage unit 21. In the case of FIG. 6, for the test questions, when the control information for distributing the test questions is received from the teacher terminal 3, the test questions to be stored in the shared information storage unit 21 are distributed to each learner terminal 4. When the answer is stored in the submission information storage unit 24, the model answer and the control information are distributed.

  The submission information monitoring processing unit 23 monitors whether information to be submitted by the learner (submission information) is stored from the learner terminal 4 in the submission information storage unit 24 described later. As information to be submitted, for example, when shared questions include exam questions, there is answer information for the exam questions. Further, when the submission information storage unit 24 is provided in the management server 2, the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 receives the learner's submission information from the learner's terminal 4 and stores it in the submission information storage unit 24.

  In order for the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 to monitor whether or not the submission information is stored in the submission information storage unit 24, for example, operation log information is obtained from the learner's terminal 4, and a specific storage is obtained from the operation log information. It is determined that the submission information is stored in the area (submission information storage unit 24). As another method, access log information indicating that the learner's terminal 4 has accessed the management server 2 (or a file server including the submission information storage unit 24) can be acquired and determined. As another method, it is also possible to determine that the submission information is stored by searching for data included in a predetermined file name or metadata among the submission information stored in the submission information storage unit 24. . Further, when the submission information storage unit 24 is provided in the management server 2, the submission information is received by the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 and stored in the submission information storage unit 24, thereby storing the submission information. Can also be determined. In addition, if any change is made to the storage area of the submission information storage unit 24, it may be determined. Note that the monitoring method in the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 is not limited to these.

  The submission information storage unit 24 stores submission information to be submitted by the learner. The submission information monitoring processing unit 23 monitors whether the submission information is stored. The submission information storage unit 24 may not be provided in the management server 2 and may be provided in any file server, computer, or the like. If the management server 2 has the submission information storage unit 24, the submission information received by the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 is stored in the submission information storage unit 24. An example of the submission information storage unit 24 is schematically shown in FIG.

  When the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 determines that the submission information is stored in the submission information storage unit 24, the specific processing unit 25 learners and / or learner terminals operated by the submitter who submitted the submission information. 4 is specified and stored in the delivery destination management unit 26 described later. This is because the learner and each terminal are stored in association with each other by inputting and selecting their identification information (name, ID, etc.) when a teacher or learner logs in to each terminal. Identification can be performed based on the information.

  As a method for specifying the learner or the learner's terminal 4 in the specific processing unit 25, for example, the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 acquires operation log information from the learner's terminal 4, and stores specific information from the operation log information. When it is determined whether the submission information is stored in the submission information storage unit 24 by determining that the submission information is stored in the area (submission information storage unit 24), the following processing is performed. First, the management server 2 acquires operation log information from each of the learner terminals 4 and stores the acquired operation log information in an operation log information storage unit (not shown). As schematically shown in FIG. 8, the operation log information storage unit includes date and time information, terminal identification information, operation details, access destination folder name (folder identification information of the folder to be accessed), and stored file name (file Identification information). Then, the specific processing unit 25 searches the operation log information stored in the operation log information storage unit based on the file name of the subject submission information and the folder name to be accessed, thereby matching the operation log information. And the learner's terminal 4 is specified by extracting terminal information from the operation log information. Then, the learner and / or the learner's terminal 4 is stored as a delivery destination in the delivery destination management unit 26 described later.

  In addition, the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 obtains and determines access log information indicating that the learner's terminal 4 has accessed the management server 2 (or a file server including the submission information storage unit 24). When monitoring whether the submission information is stored in the submission information storage unit 24, the following processing is performed. First, the management server 2 acquires access log information from each of the learner's terminals 4 and stores the acquired access log information in an access log information storage unit (not shown). As schematically shown in FIG. 9, the access log information storage unit includes date and time information, terminal identification information, access destination identification information, and the like. The identification processing unit 25 searches the access log information stored in the access log information storage unit based on the access destination information, identifies the matching access log information, and obtains the terminal information from the access log information. By extracting, the learner's terminal 4 is specified. Then, the learner and / or the learner's terminal 4 is stored as a delivery destination in the delivery destination management unit 26 described later.

  Further, the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 searches the submission information stored in the submission information storage unit 24 for data included in a predetermined file name or metadata, whereby the submission information is stored in the submission information storage unit 24. When monitoring whether submission information has been stored, the following processing is performed. The submission information storage processing unit 23 monitors the submission information storage unit 24 periodically or at a predetermined timing to determine whether a file (submission information) or a folder has been generated. When a new file (submission information) or folder is generated, the specific processing unit 25 specifies the learner or the learner's terminal 4 according to a predetermined rule from the name of the submission information or the folder. Alternatively, for the learner used by the identified learner by extracting the metadata (creator identification information, terminal identification information, editing date, etc.) in the submitted information and identifying the learner based on it The terminal 4 is specified.

  In addition, the specific process of the learner and the learner's terminal 4 in the specific process part 25 is not limited to these.

  The delivery destination management unit 26 stores the learner's terminal 4 specified by the specifying processing unit 25 as a terminal used by the learner who has finished submitting the submission information. An example of the delivery destination management unit 26 is schematically shown in FIG.

  The control information distribution processing unit 27 distributes the control information to the learner's terminal 4 registered in the distribution destination management unit 26 when the condition set as shared information is satisfied. For example, when the information of “Ichiro Suzuki” is registered in the delivery destination management unit 26, the control information stored in the shared information storage unit 21 is sent to the learner's terminal 4 “tablet1” to be used. In the case of FIG. 6, the control information “execution of operation lock” is sent.

  The submission information storage unit 24 described above is not provided in the management server 2 but may be provided in another computer. For example, the storage device of the learner's terminal 4, the storage device of the teacher's terminal 3, a storage device of a file server, or the like may be used. When the learner's terminal 4 is provided, a submission folder is provided in the storage device of the learner's terminal 4, which is used as the submission information storage unit 24 to store the submission information. Then, in response to the submission information acquisition request from the teacher terminal 3 to the management server 2, the management server 2 acquires the submission information stored in the submission information storage unit 24 of each learner terminal 4 and sends it to the teacher terminal 3. . Further, the management server 2 receives the operation log information of the learner terminal 4, and the identification processing unit 25 identifies the learner terminal 4 that stores the submission information in the submission folder from the operation log information, and the terminal Are grouped as distribution destinations and stored in the distribution destination management unit 26.

  The learner terminal 4 includes a shared information acquisition processing unit 41, a submission information transmission processing unit 40, a control information acquisition processing unit 42, and a control information execution processing unit 43.

  The shared information acquisition processing unit 41 acquires shared information sent from the management server 2. For example, when the shared information sent is a test question, the information is acquired and displayed on the learner's terminal 4.

  The submission information transmission processing unit 40 sends the submission information to be submitted to the teacher to the management server 2. For example, when the submitted information is an answer to the test question, the answer information is sent to the management server 2.

  The control information acquisition processing unit 42 acquires control information sent from the management server 2.

  The control information execution processing unit 43 executes control processing corresponding to the operation content in the control information acquired by the control information acquisition processing unit 42. For example, when the operation content in the acquired control information is “operation lock execution”, a process of “operation lock” on the learner's terminal 4 is executed.

  In the present invention, examples of information distributed to the learner's terminal 4 include document information, control information, and screen information. The document information includes all electronic files that can be viewed and operated on a computer including a tablet computer, such as a document file, a spreadsheet file, a text file, and a PDF. The control information includes not only information on control processing that causes a computer including a tablet computer to execute a predetermined operation, but also information on control processing that prevents the computer from operating. Examples of control processing information for executing a predetermined operation include opening a predetermined file and accessing a predetermined website. Information on control processing that does not execute a predetermined operation includes, for example, an operation lock that disables execution of the predetermined operation, and a screen lock that displays only a predetermined screen. Further, the screen information is information displayed or displayed on the display device 72 of the computer and the touch panel display device 82 of the tablet computer.

  Next, an example of the processing process of the learning support system 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In this embodiment, a case where a teacher distributes an examination question to each learner's terminal 4, accepts an answer to it, and locks the operation of the learner's terminal 4 of the learner who submitted the answer to prevent fraud. explain.

  First, the faculty member sets the test questions, model answers to the shared information, control instructions indicating how the learner's terminal 4 will function when accepting the answers, distribution conditions for each information, and inputs the settings. The shared information setting receiving unit 30 of the teacher terminal 3 receives the information (S100). For example, “test1.pdf” is received as test question information, “answer1.pdf” is received as an exemplary answer, and “execution of operation lock” is received as a control instruction. The received shared information is sent to the management server 2 by the shared information transmission processing unit 31 when the teacher performs a predetermined operation on the teacher terminal 3.

  The shared information reception processing unit 20 of the management server 2 stores the received shared information in the shared information storage unit 21.

  The shared information does not have to be registered in advance by the teacher. For example, after the management server 2 receives the submitted information from the learner's terminal 4, the shared information may be sent to the management server 2 at an arbitrary timing determined by the teacher after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  When starting the examination, the teacher performs a predetermined operation on the teacher terminal 3 and a control instruction for distributing the examination questions, and the teacher terminal 3 that has received the instruction instructs the management server 2 to perform the control instruction. Send information. Upon receiving the control instruction information, the shared information distribution processing unit 22 extracts the test question “test1.pdf” from the shared information stored in the shared information storage unit 21 in S100, and sends it to each learner's terminal 4. (S110).

  The shared information acquisition processing unit 41 of the learner's terminal 4 acquires information on the test questions sent from the management server 2 and displays it on the learner's terminal 4. An example of the state in which the distributed test questions are displayed on the learner's terminal 4 is shown in FIG. Each learner answers the test question (S120).

  Then, after completing the answer, the learner performs a predetermined operation on the learner's terminal 4 and submits it as an answer. That is, an operation for sending the answer information created by the learner's terminal 4 as submission information from the submission information transmission processing unit 40 to a predetermined storage area (submission information storage unit 24) such as the management server 2 is performed. As the answer information to be submitted, for example, the screen displayed on the display device 72 and the touch panel display device 82 of the learner's terminal 4 may be sent as image information, or the test question file (for example, PDF file) is overwritten. The information may be sent in the same file format. FIG. 12 schematically shows an example of a state in which the answer information to be submitted is displayed on the learner's terminal 4. The answer information sent here is stored in the submission information storage unit 24, and the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 of the management server 2 that monitors the submission information storage unit 24 determines it (S130).

  If answer information is memorize | stored in the submission information storage part 24, the specific process part 25 will perform the process which specifies the terminal 4 for learners of the learner who submitted the answer information (S140). That is, based on the identification information of the learner who submitted the answer information stored in the submission information storage unit 24, the learner's terminal 4 used by the learner is specified. Then, the specified terminal and learner are stored in the delivery destination management unit 26 and grouped as learners who have submitted the answer (S150). The grouping means that the learners and / or learner terminals 4 to be distributed are listed.

  When a learner is newly registered as a delivery destination, the delivery condition of the model answer stored in the shared information storage unit 21 is satisfied, so that the learner terminal 4 (the learner terminal 4 specified in S140) Then, the model answer is extracted from the shared information storage unit 21 and distributed. Further, since the condition for transmitting the control information is also satisfied, the control information distribution processing unit 27 distributes the control information stored in the shared information storage unit 21 to the learner terminal 4 (S160).

  The learner's terminal 4 that has received the model answer distributed in this way by the shared information acquisition processing unit 41 displays the model answer. FIG. 13 schematically shows an example of a state in which the model answer is displayed on the learner's terminal 4. Further, when the control information is received by the control information acquisition processing unit 42 (S170), the control information execution processing unit 43 performs control information corresponding to the control information, for example, “execution of operation lock” (S180). As a result, the learner's terminal 4 is locked in operation and cannot be operated.

  When the teacher sends a model answer that is shared information from the teacher terminal 3 to the management server 2 afterwards, the control information distribution processing unit 27 of the management server 2 performs distribution destination management immediately before performing the distribution processing. The learner's terminal 4 stored in the unit 26 is extracted and the control information is distributed. Thus, when the distributed control information is received by the control information acquisition processing unit 42, the control execution processing unit 43 performs the corresponding control processing. By performing such processing, the control information can be distributed to the distribution destination when the teacher registers the shared information. As a result, the distribution destination can be dynamically changed, for example, the number of distribution destinations increases according to the date and time information on which the shared information is registered. For example, as the model answer is sent to the management server 2 later than the test start time, the student can spend more time answering, so the number of answer submitters may increase accordingly. In other words, the distribution destination may increase depending on when the teacher registers shared information. Even in such a case, in this process, the delivery destination can be changed dynamically, so that it is possible to cope with it.

  In the present embodiment, the delivery of the model answer and the delivery of the control information are performed, but only one of them may be performed.

  Also, when delivering model answers, learners or learner terminals 4 may be grouped according to the date / time information, timing, and contents (answered / unsuccessful, amount written) of submission of answer information. . As a result, when there are a plurality of model answers to be distributed, model answers corresponding to the grouping can be distributed.

  In this case, the following processing is preferably executed.

  In advance, the teacher inputs the shared information and its distribution conditions from the teacher terminal 3 and receives them in the shared information setting receiving unit 30. Then, the shared information transmission processing unit 31 sends the shared information and its distribution condition from the teacher terminal 3 to the management server 2. Then, the shared information and its distribution condition are received by the shared information reception processing unit 20 and stored in the shared information storage unit 21. A conceptual diagram of the shared information storage unit 21 at this time is shown in FIG.

  In addition, the teacher sets a group distribution condition from the teacher terminal 3, which is stored in the specific processing unit 25. An example of group distribution conditions in this case is shown in FIG.

  When the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 determines that the learner has stored the submission information in the submission information storage unit 24 from the learner's terminal 4 in the same manner as described above, the specific processing unit 25 The learners and / or learner terminals are sorted into groups on the basis of the date / time information in which the submission information is stored and the group sorting conditions shown in FIG. 15, and stored in the delivery destination management unit 26 as delivery destinations. Let An example of the distribution destination management unit 26 in this case is shown in FIG. By doing in this way, the learner and / or learner's terminal 4 used as a delivery destination can be managed separately for each group.

  Then, when the learner and / or the learner's terminal 4 is newly registered as a delivery destination, the shared information to be delivered for each group with reference to the delivery condition of the model answer stored in the shared information storage unit 21 Then, additional tasks according to each group are extracted and distributed to each learner's terminal 4.

  By configuring in this way, for example, when shared information is a task, a learner who has been able to submit the task quickly (a learner who has stored the answer information in the submission information storage unit 24 early) and the task Different shared information can be further distributed with learners who took time to submit. For example, a large amount of additional assignments can be distributed as shared information to learners who have submitted early, and a small amount of additional assignments can be distributed as shared information to learners who have required time. This makes it possible to provide detailed guidance according to each individual's abilities.

  In addition, learners who have been able to submit earlier will have more time, so it is possible to prevent them from spending time by distributing a large amount of additional assignments as shared information.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the case of a problem that can be automatically scored or an answer (for example, a choice type question), scoring is automatically performed, and the learner or the learner's terminal 4 is set according to the score. It may be divided into groups. For example, when delivering the model answer, the learner or the learner's terminal 4 is grouped according to the date and time information, the timing, and the content (answered / not-answered, amount written) of the answer information. As a result, when there are a plurality of model answers to be distributed, model answers corresponding to the grouping can be distributed.

  In this case, the following processing is preferably executed. In the case of this learning support system 1, a scoring processing unit (not shown) that automatically performs scoring processing (for example, evaluation of score and description amount) for answer information as submission information is provided. In the specific processing unit 25, group distribution conditions corresponding to the scoring results in the scoring processing unit are received and set in advance from the teacher terminal 3. In other words, it is classified into a plurality of ranks according to the result of the submission, and the group is sorted for each rank.

  Then, a scoring processing unit (not shown) performs scoring processing on the answer information stored in the submission information storage unit 24. As a result, the identification processing unit 25 identifies the learner who submitted the answer information and / or the group of the learner terminals 4 according to the scoring result of the answer information, and distributes them to each group according to the group. Is stored in the distribution destination management unit 26. By doing in this way, the learner and / or the learner's terminal 4 as the delivery destination can be managed separately for each group according to the score result of the answer information.

  Then, when the learner and / or the learner's terminal 4 is newly registered as a delivery destination, the shared information to be delivered for each group with reference to the delivery condition of the model answer stored in the shared information storage unit 21 Then, additional tasks according to each group are extracted and distributed to each learner's terminal 4.

  By comprising in this way, the shared information delivered according to the result of the answer information submitted by the learner can be changed. For example, the model 1 answer to question 1 can be sent to a learner who has made a mistake in question 1.

  In the above-described embodiment, after the submission information (answer information) is stored in a predetermined storage area, the model answer is delivered to the learner's terminal 4 and / or the operation lock control information is sent. However, the screen displayed on the teacher terminal 3 may be displayed as image information. That is, a process of reflecting the operation performed on the teacher terminal 3 on the learner terminal 4 may be performed. A conceptual diagram in this case is schematically shown in FIG. FIG. 18 shows a conceptual diagram of an example of the system configuration of the learning support system 1 in the present embodiment.

  In the case of the present embodiment, the teacher terminal 3 further includes a screen information generation processing unit 32 and a screen information transmission processing unit 33.

Since the information displayed on the screen is stored in a VRAM or the like, it may be acquired as image information, but other methods may be used. A format other than image information may be used.

  The screen information transmission processing unit 33 sends the screen information acquired by the screen information generation processing unit 32 to the management server 2.

  Screen information acquisition and transmission processing may be performed at any timing. For example, when an operation is performed on the teacher terminal 3, or when an operation for acquiring or transmitting screen information is accepted on the teacher terminal 3. There is.

  The management server 2 includes a screen information distribution processing unit 28 instead of / in addition to the control information distribution processing unit 27.

  The screen information distribution processing unit 28 displays the screen information sent from the teacher terminal 3 when the conditions set as shared information are satisfied for the learner terminal 4 registered in the distribution destination management unit 26. Receive and distribute the screen information. For example, when the information of “Ichiro Suzuki” is registered in the delivery destination management unit 26, the screen information received from the teacher terminal 3 is sent to the learner terminal 4 “tablet 1” to be used, and the screen information is Display.

  The learner terminal 4 includes a screen information acquisition processing unit 42 and a screen information display processing unit 43 in place of / in addition to the control information acquisition processing unit 42 and the control information execution processing unit 43.

  The screen information acquisition processing unit 42 acquires screen information sent from the management server 2.

  The screen information display processing unit 43 displays the screen information acquired by the screen information acquisition processing unit 42 on the display device 72 or the touch panel display device 82 of the learner's terminal 4.

  Next, an example of the processing process of the learning support system 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Note that the processing from S200 to S250 is the same as in the case of the first embodiment (FIG. 5), and the description thereof is omitted.

  When a learner is newly registered at the distribution destination, the distribution destination management unit 26 notifies the teacher terminal 3 of the registered notification (S260). In the teacher terminal 3 that has received this notification, the screen information generation processing unit 32 acquires the image information of the screen displayed on the display device 72 or the touch panel display device 82 of the teacher terminal 3. Then, the screen information acquired by the screen information transmission processing unit 33 is sent to the management server 2 (S270).

  The screen information distribution processing unit 28 distributes the screen information acquired from the teacher terminal 3 to the learner terminal 4 specified in S240 (S280). Then, the screen information acquisition processing unit 42 of the learner's terminal 4 that acquired the screen information from the management server 2 acquires the screen information, and the screen information display processing unit 43 displays the display device 72, touch panel type display device of the learner's terminal 4. It is displayed at 82 (S290).

  As a result, the screen displayed on the teacher terminal 3 can be displayed on the learner terminal 4. For example, if the model answer is displayed on the teacher terminal 3, it can be displayed on the learner terminal 4.

  Also, the second embodiment can be executed in combination with the first embodiment.

  Furthermore, here, the image information of the screen displayed on the teacher's terminal 3 is displayed on the learner's terminal 4 that has submitted the answer information, but the learner's terminal 4 that does not submit the answer information within a certain time, The image information of the screen displayed on the teacher terminal 3 may be displayed. That is, all learners and learner terminals 4 are registered in advance, and the learner and learner terminals 4 that have submitted answer information within a certain period of time (registered in the distribution destination management unit 26) are identified. Other learners and learner terminals 4 may be specified as distribution destinations. In this way, for example, a hint for the test can be given.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, a learner submits a file for submission to each storage area (stores a file) in a predetermined storage area (for example, a folder in this embodiment) divided into groups. A case will be described in which each learner can be automatically grouped and grouped dynamically by grouping the learners into groups associated with storage areas. An example of an overall conceptual diagram of the learning support system 1 in this embodiment is schematically shown in FIG. FIG. 21 shows a conceptual diagram of an example of the system configuration of the learning support system 1 in the present embodiment.

  In addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, the teacher terminal 3 of the present embodiment further includes a control instruction information generation processing unit 34 and a control instruction information transmission processing unit 35.

  The control instruction information generation processing unit 34 receives the control instruction information including the operation content for the learner terminal 4 and the condition indicating the operation content for the learner terminal 4 belonging to which group, received by the teacher terminal 3. Generate. For example, when it is desired to control the operation lock of the learner's terminal 4 for the group B, the operation content “operation lock” and the condition “group B” as an operation condition are accepted by the teacher terminal 3. Control instruction information is generated based on the received contents.

  The control instruction information transmission processing unit 35 sends the control instruction information received by the control instruction information generation processing unit 34 to the management server 2.

  In the management server 2 of the present embodiment, in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, a control instruction information reception processing unit 50, a control instruction information storage unit 51, a control information processing unit 52, a group specification processing unit 53, a group management unit 54, Is provided.

  The control instruction information reception processing unit 50 receives control instruction information sent from the teacher terminal 3 and stores it in the control instruction information storage unit 51 described later.

  The control instruction information storage unit 51 stores the control instruction information received by the control instruction information reception processing unit 50. FIG. 22 schematically shows an example of the control instruction information storage unit 51.

  The control information processing unit 52 generates control information to be distributed to the learner's terminal 4 based on the control instruction information. For example, at least the operation content in the control instruction information is extracted and used as control information.

  The group identification processing unit 53 indicates that the submission information has been stored in a storage area associated with the group in advance (for example, a storage area distinguished for each group in the submission information storage unit 24). If it determines by 23, the terminal 4 for learners which the learner who submitted the submission information will operate is specified, and it is memorize | stored in the delivery destination management part 26. FIG. For example, when a learner stores a file as submission information in the storage area (for example, folder) of group A in the submission information storage unit 24, the learner is determined to be group A, and the distribution destination management unit 26 The learner (and the learner's terminal) is identified as the learner of group A (and the learner's terminal). When another learner stores a file as submission information in the storage area of group B in the submission information storage unit 24, the learner is determined to be group B, and the distribution destination management unit 26 , The learner (and the learner's terminal) is identified as a learner of group B (and the learner's terminal).

  The group management unit 54 in the present embodiment stores learners and / or learner terminals 4 in association with each group. FIG. 23 schematically shows an example of the group management unit 54.

  Next, an example of the processing process of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In this example, a teacher delivers a task to each learner, accepts submission of results for that task from learners divided into groups in advance, and for learners in a specific group. A case where operation lock control is performed on the terminal 4 from the teacher terminal 3 will be described. In this case, the learners are divided into groups in advance, but the learners and groups are not registered in advance on the system. Here, learners 1 to 4 exist as learners, and groups A and B exist as groups. In group A, learner 1 (Saburo Takahashi) and learner 2 (Hanako Yamada) are grouped, and in group B, learner 3 (Ichiro Suzuki) and learner 4 (Jiro Sato) are grouped. . The learner's assignments are submitted to the group A folder for the group A learners and to the group B folder for the group B learners.

  The teacher sets the assignment and the distribution condition of the information as shared information, and receives the input of the setting at the shared information setting reception unit 30 of the teacher terminal 3 (S300). For example, “Study Learning.pdf” is accepted as an assignment, and “Everyone” is accepted as a condition. The received shared information is sent to the management server 2 by the shared information transmission processing unit 31 when the teacher performs a predetermined operation on the teacher terminal 3.

  The shared information reception processing unit 20 of the management server 2 stores the received shared information in the shared information storage unit 21.

  When an assignment is distributed, the teacher performs a predetermined operation on the teacher terminal 3 and a control instruction operation for distributing the assignment, and the teacher terminal 3 that has received the instruction instructs the management server 2 to perform the control instruction. Send information. When the control instruction information is received, the shared information distribution processing unit 22 extracts the task “examined learning.pdf” from the shared information stored in the shared information storage unit 21 in S300, and sends it to each learner's terminal 4. (S310).

  In the shared information acquisition processing unit 41 of the learner terminal 4, the information on the assignment sent from the management server 2 is acquired and displayed on the learner terminal 4. Each learner examines this task.

  Then, after completion of the study, the learner performs a predetermined operation on the learner's terminal 4 and submits it as a study result (S320). That is, an operation for sending information created by the learner's terminal 4 as submission information from the submission information transmission processing unit 40 to a predetermined storage area (submission information storage unit 24) of the management server 2 is performed. Here, each learner submits submission information to the storage area of the group to which he belongs. That is, since learner 1 and learner 2 belong to group A, since learner 3 and learner 4 belong to group B in the folder of group A in the submission information storage unit 24 of management server 2, The information is stored in the group B folder in the submission information storage unit 24 of the management server 2. The submission information sent here is stored in the submission information storage unit 24, and the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 of the management server 2 that monitors the submission information determines that new submission information has been stored (S330).

  When the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 determines that the submission information is stored in the submission information storage unit 24, the group identification processing unit 53 performs a process of identifying the learner's terminal 4 for the learner who submitted the submission information. Execute (S340). That is, based on the identification information of the learner who submitted the submission information stored in the submission information storage unit 24, the learner's terminal 4 used by the learner is specified. Then, the identified terminal and learner are stored in the group management unit 54 in association with the group associated with the folder in the submission information storage unit 24 (S350). For example, when the learner 3 (Ichiro Suzuki) stores the submission information in the folder of the group B, the group identification processing unit 53 identifies the learner terminal 4 based on the identification information of the learner 3 (Ichiro Suzuki). Then, learner 3 (Ichiro Suzuki) is grouped as group B. When learner 2 (Hanako Yamada) stores the submission information in the folder of group A, the group identification processing unit 53 determines the learner's terminal 4 based on the identification information of learner 2 (Hanako Yamada). Identify and group learner 2 (Hanako Yamada) as group A.

  In this manner, when the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 determines that the submission information is stored in the storage area determined for each learner, the group identification processing unit 53 is based on the group to which the learner belongs. Are identified and grouped automatically.

  For example, when the teacher controls the operation lock of the learner's terminal 4 in a predetermined group, the operation content of “execute operation lock” and the condition of “group B” are set in the teacher's terminal 3. I do. When the setting is accepted by the teacher terminal 3, the control instruction information generation processing unit 34 generates control instruction information using "execution of operation lock" and "group B", and the control instruction information transmission processing unit 35 The control instruction information is sent to the management server 2.

  The sent control instruction information is received by the control instruction information reception processing unit 50 of the management server 2 and stored in the control instruction information storage unit 51 (S360). Then, the control information processing unit 52 extracts at least the operation content in the received control instruction information, and generates control information to be sent to the learner's terminal 4 based on the extracted operation content (S370). Then, the control information distribution processing unit 27 refers to the group management unit 54 and distributes the control information to terminals that satisfy the conditions in the received control instruction information (S380). In the above case, since control information is sent to the learner terminals 4 in group B, the learner terminals 4 of learners belonging to group B are identified from the group management unit 54 and learning belonging to group B Control information including the operation content of “execution of operation lock” is sent to the user.

  As described above, the control information is distributed to the learner's terminal 4 of the group B. In the learner's terminal 4 of the group B, the distributed control information is acquired by the control information acquisition processing unit 42. Based on the control information acquired by the control information acquisition processing unit 42, the control information execution processing unit 43 executes a control process corresponding to the control information (S390). In the above case, the control process of “execution of operation lock” is executed.

  By executing the processing as described above, the teacher does not need to execute the registration processing for the learner group in advance. As a result, the group is spoken verbally, and if the folder is instructed to submit the file, accepting the submission will register each learner in the specified group on the system. , The burden can be reduced.

  At this time, the subfolders may be further grouped into groups. Moreover, it may be set to belong to a plurality of groups by registering submission information such as files in a plurality of folders.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the case where the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 monitors whether the submission information is stored in the submission information storage unit 24 has been described. Further, once stored, the submission information is deleted from the submission information storage unit 24. You may monitor what has been done.

  In this case, the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 acquires operation log information from the learner's terminal 4 as in the first embodiment, and submits the submission information from a specific storage area (submission information storage unit 24) from the operation log information. It is determined that is deleted. It is also possible to obtain and determine access log information indicating that the learner's terminal 4 has accessed the management server 2 (or a file server including the submission information storage unit 24) and deleted the file. Furthermore, the storage area of the submission information storage unit 24 is monitored, and the determination can also be made by deleting the submission information with a predetermined file name or the like.

  When it is determined in the submission information monitoring processing unit 23 that the submission information stored in the submission information storage unit 24 has been deleted, the specific processing unit 25, like the first embodiment, learners who have deleted the submission information and / or Alternatively, the learner terminal 4 is specified, and the learner and / or the learner terminal 4 is deleted from the delivery destination from the delivery destination management unit 26.

  As a result, the student who submitted the submitted information once but deleted it can be excluded from the distribution destination. As a result, the control process corresponding to the operation content in the control information executed on the learner's terminal 4 for the learner is stopped.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the case where the shared information storage unit 21 is provided has been described, but the shared information storage unit 21 may not be provided in the management server 2. In this case, when shared information is sent from the shared information transmission processing unit 31 of the teacher terminal 3 to the management server 2, the shared information reception processing unit 20 receives the shared information, which is received by each learner's terminal of the group to be distributed. 4 is delivered as it is.

  Embodiments 1 to 5 can be appropriately combined.

  The learning support system 1 of the present invention does not simply share information uniformly between the teacher and the learner. For example, when performing an examination, the learner who has finished answering the answer uses a predetermined method. By uploading data to a predetermined folder (directory), timely sharing of information, such as distributing model answers to only learners who have completed their answers, and grouping on the teacher side It can be done without need.

  Further, when the learners are divided into a plurality of groups, the learners can be grouped without the teacher setting in advance which learner belongs to which group. As a result, faculty members can share information for each group without setting up grouping.
