  Here, the student means a user of the student terminal. The information indicating the student may be any information that can uniquely identify the student, such as a student ID or a student name.

  The progress status is information indicating the progress status of the test when an answer is input by the student. The element indicating the progress is not particularly limited, and various elements related to the progress of the test can be considered. Examples of elements indicating the progress of the test include the time required for the answer, the elapsed time from the start of the test, and the success or failure of the answer. In this example, the progress is stored when the test is performed.

  The student information DB 13 has a function of storing student information that is information relating to students. The student information is various types of information related to students who use the system 100 and belong to a school or a cram school that is a system administrator of the system. Specifically, the student information includes information such as a student ID for uniquely identifying a student, a name, an address, a telephone number, a school year, a class to which the student belongs, and a grade.

  Note that the test information DB 11, the history information DB 12, and the student information DB 13 may be provided inside the learning support server 10, or may be provided outside.

  Each of the plurality of student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33 is managed by a registered user of the system 100, and is configured by an information processing apparatus such as a mobile phone terminal or a personal computer. Note that what is managed by the system administrator of the present system may be lent out to students who are users.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the three student terminals 21 to 23 are used in a class 6A classroom, and the other three student terminals 31 to 33 are used in a class 6B classroom. That is, in this example, it is assumed that six student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33 are used by students in a classroom such as a school or a cram school. Note that any number of student terminals may be used in each class. There may also be any number of classes. Furthermore, a plurality of student terminals may be used in a plurality of school buildings.

  Next, the operation of the learning support system 100 in this example will be described. Note that detailed descriptions of processes not particularly related to the present invention may be omitted.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of learning support processing executed by the learning support server 10 of the learning support system 100. In the learning support processing executed by the learning support server 10 (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “test information provision processing” in order to distinguish from the learning support processing executed by each of the plurality of student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33). A process for providing test information to a plurality of student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33 is executed.

  The test information providing process in this example is started in response to an operation by the system administrator A, for example.

  The learning support server 10 receives the student information when the test information providing process is started (step S101). In this example, the learning support server 10 receives student information corresponding to each student from the six student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33 used by the six students who start the test. Note that the contents of the test questions to be performed at this time may be specified on the terminal side or may be specified on the server side.

  When receiving the student information, the learning support server 10 generates BOT information (step S102). In this example, the learning support server 10 generates BOT information that is information related to the BOT that operates according to the answer status at the student terminal based on the history information.

  Here, the BOT means a program that is automatically executed regardless of a user operation. In this example, the learning support server 10 uses the history information to generate a BOT that operates based on the behavior of the student who solved the test problem to be answered in the past.

  When the learning support server 10 generates the BOT information, the learning support server 10 generates a team (step S103). In this example, the learning support server 10 generates a team to which some or all of a plurality of students belong according to a predetermined rule. In this example, when the number of members in the team is insufficient, the learning support server 10 refers to the BOT information and adds the BOT to the team member.

  When the learning support server 10 generates a team, it generates test information (step S104). In this example, the learning support server 10 generates test information based on the received student information and history information. Specifically, the learning support server 10 generates test information in which the progress status of the test of another student corresponding to the history information is displayed according to the answer status at the student terminal. More specifically, the learning support server 10 refers to the generated BOT information, and generates test information that causes the student terminal to display a test screen on which the BOT operates as the progress status of the test of another student.

  When the learning support server 10 generates the test information, the test information generated for the test information provision target is transmitted to the student terminal (step S105), and the process here ends. For providing test information, the learning support server 10 may be configured to simultaneously distribute test information to a plurality of student terminals (simultaneous distribution), or to individual student terminals that have received distribution requests. It is good also as a structure to deliver to (at an individual timing) (individual delivery).

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of learning support processing executed by each of the plurality of student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33 included in the learning support system 100. In the learning support processing executed by each of the plurality of student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33 (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “test execution processing” in order to be distinguished from the learning support processing executed by the learning support server 10). A test screen is displayed, and processing for receiving an answer to the question displayed on the test screen from the user is executed. Hereinafter, the student terminal 21 operated by the user S who is a registered user will be described as an example.

  The test execution process is started, for example, when the student terminal 21 determines that a test information reception request has been received in accordance with the operation of the user S.

  After starting the test execution process, the student terminal 21 transmits student information to the learning support server 10 (step S201). In this example, the student terminal 21 receives an input of a student ID by the user S, and transmits the received student ID and its identification information to the learning support server 10.

  When the student information is transmitted, the student terminal 21 receives the test information transmitted from the learning support server (step S202), and displays a test screen corresponding to the received test information on the display screen of the display device provided therein. (Step S203).

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a test screen. As shown in FIG. 6, the test screen in this example includes an other student progress status display area 101 for displaying the progress status of other students, a question display area 102 for displaying a question, an answer input area 103, and an answer to the question. A pass button 104 that receives an operation (pass operation) that omits input of an answer and a memo field display area 105 that displays a memo field (free memo space) that can be used as a memo field by the user S are provided.

  The configuration of the test screen is not limited to this. For example, a button (end button) for accepting an answer end operation (in other words, accepting a display operation for the next question) or an operation for displaying a question once answered again is displayed. It is preferable that an area for displaying various buttons and information (for example, the remaining time of the test) that are considered necessary for the test, such as a button to be received, is provided. In addition, even if it is not considered necessary for the test, there are provided areas for displaying various buttons and information that are considered useful for raising the motivation for the test, such as a button for accepting the user's confidence in the answer. Is preferred.

  In this example, the other student progress status display area 101 displays the problem number and the progress status. Specifically, a check mark indicating that the question has been answered by another student is displayed below the number indicating the question number.

  The answer input area 103 is an area for the user S to input an answer using, for example, a touch pen. The input receiving method is not particularly limited, and various methods such as button operation and voice input can be employed. However, regarding the input reception method, it is preferable that the learning efficiency is good for the user S, and an input reception method capable of receiving handwritten input is taken into consideration that an answer can be made with a feeling similar to a general test. It is preferable to adopt. In this example, the touch screen is provided in the display screen portion, and the student terminal 21 recognizes the answer input to the answer input area 103 by the user S using a touch pen or the like and converts it into electronic data. It shall have a function.

  The memo column display area 105 is an area for the user S to input a memo using, for example, a touch pen or the like, and is an area for displaying the memo input by the user S. The input receiving method is not particularly limited. In addition, the memo entered in the memo field may be associated with the problem displayed in the problem display area 102 when the memo is input, or the memo field may be input regardless of the change in the problem. A configuration may be adopted in which the display of the memo is maintained. Note that the memo entered in the memo field may be stored in the history information DB 12.

  When the student terminal 21 displays the test screen, the student terminal 21 receives an answer (step S204). If it is determined that an answer has been input by accepting an operation on the answer input area 103 (Y in step S204), the student terminal 21 displays the answer in which the input has been received in the answer input area 103 (step S205). .

  When the student terminal 21 displays the answer that has been accepted, the student terminal 21 transmits answer information to the learning support server 10 (step S206). In this example, the student terminal 21 has the student ID of the user S as the answer information, the problem identification information displayed in the question display area 102 when it is determined that the answer has been completed, and the answer input area 103. The displayed answer information is transmitted to the learning support server 10.

  When the student terminal 21 transmits the answer information, the student terminal 21 updates the test screen based on the test information (step S207). In this example, when there is a next problem, the student terminal 21 displays a test screen indicating the next problem on the display screen. Here, when there is no next problem, the student terminal 21 determines that the test has ended (Y in step S208), and displays an end screen indicated by the test information (or a predetermined) on the display screen. (Step S211), the process here ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the test has not ended (N in step S208), the student terminal 21 determines whether or not to update the progress of other students (step S209). In this example, the student terminal 21 determines whether or not to update the progress status of other students based on the operation of the BOT and the answer status of other users of the team to which the user S belongs. Note that the student terminal 21 specifies the BOT operation based on the information received from the learning support server 10. On the other hand, the method for specifying the answer status of other students who are taking the test at the same time as the user S is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the progress status of the test is updated in real time. . Examples for the student terminal 21 to specify the answer status of other students include a configuration for receiving necessary information from the learning support server 10 and a configuration for transmitting / receiving answer information between student terminals.

  Here, for example, when there is no change in the answer status of the user S and other students of the same team and the BOT, the student terminal 21 determines not to update the other student progress status (N in step S209), and the process of step S204 Migrate to

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the other student progress status is to be updated (Y in step S209), the student terminal 21 updates the test screen (step S210), and proceeds to the processing in step S204. In addition, although the update content of the screen at this time is not specifically limited, It is preferable that it is the structure which the user S can recognize the progress of another student intuitively. In this example, in order to indicate the progress status of other students, a check mark indicating the progress status is displayed in the other student progress status display area 101. The display form of the other student progress status is not limited to this. For example, the progress status of a plurality of other students (for example, several students at the top of the team) may be displayed. It is good also as a structure by which the average (for example, average of the number of answers) of progress is displayed.

  As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the student terminal used by the student (for example, the plurality of student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33, respectively) includes a test question, an answer column, and other students. The learning support server 10 that provides the test information for displaying a test screen (for example, see FIG. 6) provided with a display area for displaying the progress of the test of the test via the communication network 40 , A history information DB 12 for storing history information including students, answers by the students, and grades, and receiving student information relating to students who are newly tested, and test information based on the received student information and history information Learning support technology that can improve learning motivation and enhance learning effects. It will be able to provide.

  That is, the student who solves the test problem by operating the student terminal proceeds with the learning while grasping the progress of the other students, so that a sense of fighting can be obtained. This can be expected to improve students' willingness to learn.

  In the embodiment described above, the history information includes the progress of the test when the answer is input by the student, and the learning support server 10 corresponds to the history information according to the answer status at the student terminal. Since it is configured to generate test information that displays the progress of the student's test, it provides the student who is taking the test with a sense of playing (or competing with) other students in real time while using the history information. Will be able to.

  Also, if the number of classes is increased, participating students and school buildings will be dispersed, so the number of participants and school buildings will decrease if the battle type (synchronous battle) starts at the same time, and the motivation due to competition will decline There is. However, according to the above-described embodiment, the number of players can be increased by using the information of students who have been tested in the past (asynchronous battle).

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the learning support server 10 generates BOT information that is information regarding the BOT that operates according to the answer status in the student terminal based on the history information, and refers to the generated BOT information. Since the test information for generating the test screen on which the BOT operates as the progress status of the test of other students is displayed on the student terminal, the user can be tested in a situation closer to a real-time battle. Become.

  Regarding the operation of BOT, for example, the history information corresponding to the user who will be tested (for example, a user who has made multiple entries in the same course) and the organization to which the user belongs is excluded from the reference target. It is preferable to make it indistinguishable from students participating in.

  In the embodiment described above, when the learning support server 10 receives the student information of a plurality of students, the team to which some or all of the plurality of students belong is generated according to a predetermined rule, and the generated team is Since the test information for displaying the corresponding test screen on the student terminals belonging to the team is generated, motivation can be improved by making the user aware of intra-team competition.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the history information includes a rank set for the student as a relative evaluation with other students, and the learning support server 10 refers to the rank to identify the team. It is good also as composition to generate. Note that the timing for setting the rank for each student is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the timing at which the student's motivation for studying can be improved by the vertical movement of the rank. An example of the rank setting timing is the end point of the student's answer. The rules for generating a team with reference to the rank are not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the rules allow the student to be aware of his / her rank. An example of this rule is a rule in which students with similar ranks are given priority in the same team.

Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, it is preferable that the team generation logic is modularized into a program that is easy to add and modify. In this case, it is preferable to leave what operates in the same way as the team generation logic adopted in the past. Moreover, team generation logic may be capable of configuration specified for each course. By adopting such a configuration, even when a lesson-less lesson is conducted and a sufficient number of BOTs cannot be generated, a team can be configured according to the situation.

  Further, the content of the team composition logic is not particularly limited, but the operation is based on the balance among students belonging to each of a plurality of teams, and “students to be tested (real students)” and “BOT information” between the plurality of teams. It is preferable that the content considers the balance (for example, numerical balance) with the “virtual student (BOT)”.

  Note that when a team is created, if there are students (late participants) who are late for the test, it is not necessary to allocate them equally, and BOT may be added to the amount that is not allocated for each class. That is, for example, the learning support server 10 may be “team 3 is real 10 people, team 4 is real 2 people and BOT 1 person”.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the learning support server 10 receives answer information including an answer by the student from the student terminal 21, and the history information is based on the received answer information and history information. The grade information indicating the grade of the answer information for the grade contained in is generated, the history information is updated based on the generated grade information, and when new test information is sent to the student terminal, it is within a predetermined period. The test information may be generated based on the updated history information. Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the learning support system 100 in the case where the history information is generated and the history information is updated will be described. Note that detailed descriptions of processes not particularly related to the present invention may be omitted.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of history information management processing executed by the learning support server 10 of the learning support system 100. In the history information management process executed by the learning support server 10, a process for receiving answer information from the student terminal and updating the history information is executed.

  The history information management process in this example is started in response to the test information being provided to the student terminal by the learning support process, for example.

  When the history information management process is started, the learning support server 10 receives answer information from the student terminal (step S301). In this example, the learning support server 10 starts a process for receiving answer information transmitted by a student terminal used by a student who is taking a test.

  When learning support server 10 starts accepting answer information, it determines whether or not to generate grade information (step S302). Although the timing which produces | generates results information is not specifically limited, It is suitable that it is a timing when the processing load of the learning assistance server 10 does not become excessive. In this example, the learning support server 10 accumulates the answer information, and determines that the grade information is generated when a predetermined time (for example, 24:00) is reached.

  Here, if it determines with producing | generating grade information (Y of step S302), the learning assistance server 10 will produce | generate grade information (step S303). The configuration for generating the grade information is not particularly limited, but a configuration that can improve the user's desire to study is suitable. Examples of the configuration for generating the grade information include a configuration for generating in-team results, in-group results, and the like. Regarding the generation of results, it is preferable to adopt a configuration that does not hinder the sense that the user has tested the results in real time.

  When the learning support server 10 generates the result information, the learning support server 10 updates the history information stored in the history information DB 12 based on the generated result information (step S304). In this example, the learning support server 10 generates BOT information based on the updated history information.

  When the learning support server 10 updates the history information and generates the BOT information, when the test information is newly provided, the learning support server 10 refers to the history information and the BOT information, and based on the history information updated within a predetermined period, (Not shown). Here, the length of the predetermined period is not particularly limited. Examples of the predetermined period include “up to one day before the test”, “up to one week before”, and “one year or more”.

  As described above, the learning support server 10 receives the answer information including the answer by the student from the student terminal 21, and based on the received answer information and the history information, the answer information for the grade included in the history information When the test information is newly transmitted to the student terminal, the history information is generated based on the history information updated within a predetermined period. By configuring the test information to be generated, a time difference can be provided between the process for preparing information and the process for providing information, and the load on the server can be reduced.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the learning support server 10 may be configured to prepare a school building order including a past attendance history. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to relatively grasp the abilities of students in units of school buildings.

  Although not specifically mentioned in the above-described embodiment, a history is required to realize an asynchronous battle (or asynchronous class). For this reason, it is considered effective to implement a course for creating a history for new test questions. However, for example, the learning support server 10 may generate temporary history information and delete the temporary history information in response to the accumulation of a predetermined amount of history information of students who have actually tested. . In this case, the learning support server 10 may generate temporary history information based on, for example, an input by the system administrator A.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the learning support server 10 includes a course information DB that stores course information including a course and a combination of a plurality of test questions, and includes a combination of a plurality of test questions. For example, when corresponding BOT information is generated and a request for selecting a course is received from a student terminal or a system administrator, test information may be generated with reference to the course information. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to improve the efficiency of course planning work including tests that can be performed by the learning support system 100.

  In this case, the course information may have a configuration in which a combination of a plurality of test questions with different number of combinations and the same test content is associated with one course. By adopting such a configuration, for example, it is possible to create a course with two and four periods with the same course contents.

  Here, the period is a concept corresponding to the “test question” in the above-described embodiment. That is, a course with two periods means a course in which two tests are performed in one course. That is, when creating a course with 2 periods and 4 periods with the same course content, a course with 4 periods has a configuration in which the test questions used in the course with 2 periods are divided. However, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the test questions used in the course with two periods and the course with four periods are integrated.

  In addition, by generating the same BOT information for a course with two periods (two editions) and a period with four periods (four editions) with the same course contents, the history in the two and four editions It becomes possible to play in, and it becomes possible to increase the variation of asynchronous battle. In addition, when it is set as such a structure, as a grade information, it is good also as a structure which a 4th edition school building comes out to the grade (for example, ranking according to school building) of 2nd edition.

  In addition, if the course in which the test is conducted (or if the course is composed of multiple classes, the nth class, where n is an arbitrary natural number, hereinafter referred to as the class number) is a set of periods, the class It is preferable that only one combination of periods can be registered at one time. In this case, it is preferable that the registration contents are basically not allowed to be changed.

In addition, when a plurality of types of classes (for example, two-time version and four-time version classes ) are realized, a period type may be newly provided in a class frame (schedule). Here, the period type means a period type. Three types of full, 2A, and 2B can be set as the period type. Here, “full” means that all the periods set in the lesson frame are implemented. Moreover, 2A means that only the first half of the set period is implemented. Further, 2B means that only the latter half of the set period is executed.

  Moreover, when considering a period, it is good also as a structure in which the learning support server 10 produces | generates a class turn order for every period type of a class time instead of a class time. That is, three school building rankings are generated for class times in which three types of period types are set. In this case, it is good also as a structure which uses what recorded the point and the number of students for every period according to school building for every class time for order generation.

  Moreover, the structure of the order of generation is not particularly limited. The generation methods are listed below. First, the order may be configured to generate a rank for each period instead of a report result. The full ranking can be generated by integrating the history of 2A and 2B. However, in this case, school buildings that have taken only 2A or 2B at the time of generation are not counted. Further, the order of 2A and 2B may be generated for the full order. In this case, it is good also as a structure which totals what matched the period of 2A and 2B from full. In addition, when there is a school building that has been attended with the full, 2A and 2B, the results may be combined into one (the number of attendance at that school building increases). In addition, for example, “the last lesson date and time table generation date and time items are added to the class times, and if the last lesson date is less than the rank table generation date, the generation process is not performed”. As long as the processing for generating the ranking is not generated, it is preferable that the processing is not performed.

  Although not specifically mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the learning support server 10 may be configured to prepare before class. That is, for example, the learning support server 10 generates information for each school building order, copies the generated information for a schedule for implementing the information (for example, generates a schedule-specific temporary order table), and the copied record In contrast, the grade of the real school building at the interval may be updated or inserted. By dividing in this way, it becomes possible to avoid the occurrence of contradiction when the same class times overlap. At the end of the lesson (end of the report phase), the temporary ranking table by schedule is discarded.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example of the test screen has been described. However, the screen displayed on the student terminal is not limited to the test screen, and various screens related to the test (or lesson) may be displayed. It is done. Examples of the screen displayed on the student terminal include a screen displayed in an entry phase, an interval phase, a report phase, and the like. That is, for example, the student terminal 21 displays the previous school building ranking in the entry phase, and displays it in combination with the ranking that has generated the statistical results of the participants who are actually teaching in the interval phase ( At this time, priority is given to the result of the school building where the lesson was conducted in real time.For example, if it already exists in the ranking table generated by school A, the generated ranking will be replaced with the order in which the lesson was actually taught.), Trial in the report phase It is good also as a structure which performs the process similar to.

  Moreover, when considering a period, it is good also as a structure which the learning assistance server 10 supports the setting of the lesson by the system administrator A, for example. In this case, for example, considering that the schedule setting becomes complicated and the Web screen becomes very strict, the system administrator creates a class setting tool using a general spreadsheet software function, etc., and CSV It is good also as a structure which implement | achieves a CSV registration function by producing. With such a configuration, it becomes possible to perform class setting via the Web by CSV. In addition, about CSV, it is good also as a structure which can receive a format convenient for a user side and can produce a suitable tool according to it. On the other hand, the learning support server 10 may be configured such that classes can be individually set using a Web tool, and a period type may be set. However, since it is not necessary to be aware of the course that mixes the 4th and 2nd editions, it is almost full.

  Moreover, when considering a period, it is good also as a structure which the learning support server 10 transmits to the student terminal the schedule information for displaying the screen (schedule screen) which displays a lesson schedule on a student terminal. It is desirable that the display be conscious of the type of this period. That is, for example, it is preferable that the schedule screen is provided with a table provided with an “execution period column” and an area for displaying the period type itself.

Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the learning support server 10 disables the BOT corresponding to the school building to which the student to be tested belongs, so that realistic team organization and ranking consistency can be achieved. It is also suitable to plan. In this case, regarding the processing when a student arrives late in a school building where BOT has already participated, a process that guarantees real-time properties, such as receiving a schedule after 5 minutes, can be provided. Is preferred. In addition, examples of configurations that can be provided for late students include a configuration in which the user BOT of the school building will not use it afterwards if there is a participation from a school building that is not participating in real time due to late participation. There is a configuration in which the screen member is not notified to that effect even when entering.

  In addition, when a late student enters the school where the BOT was issued, data other than the student who was late in the ranking (for example, the rank in the school building) will appear. It is good also as a structure played with. Moreover, when it is set as the structure which accept | permits a late student, for example, the learning support server 10 is good also as a structure which makes only a real user the object of ranking. Hereinafter, the learning support server operation that can be executed when the late student participation is permitted will be briefly described.

The learning support server that allows late students to participate uses, for example, BOT because no school building (School A) to which late students belong is participating. In the ranking by school building in the first period, it is assumed that the past tallying ranking is displayed for school A. In this case, for example, when receiving a two-period first participation request by the students of A school building in (late participation request), learning support server, that displays the Position by students of A school building as a two-period day of school building by rank (real ). In addition, the learning support server displays real period statistics of school A in the report phase (the first period is not covered).

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the learning support server 10 associates the class at the time of dividing the team with the class of the previous lesson for BOT and the class for the user (student). A configuration using the current class may be used. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the ability from deviating between the initial class and the current class when the BOT user rapidly improves the grade.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the learning support server 10 may be configured to update the BOT class at a predetermined frequency (for example, daily). In this case, as the update criterion, for example, the time when the last lesson was performed can be used. Further, the information regarding the BOT may be configured such that the old information (for example, information regarding the BOT generated before a certain reference date) is discarded and updated each time.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the learning support server 10 determines whether or not the test newly received by the student is completed based on a predetermined termination condition, and the test is terminated. If it is determined, referring to the history information corresponding to the same test problem as the new test taken by the student, the rank of the newly tested student and the rank of the student corresponding to the history information are mixed. A configuration may be adopted in which rank table information for displaying the rank table on the student terminal is generated, and the generated rank table information is transmitted to the student terminal. With such a configuration, a ranking table is displayed on the student terminals used in the test, and it can appear as if it is competing with all students on the history in real time. The range of students included in one rank table is not particularly limited, and various ranges such as a team, a school building, and a school building can be considered. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which can set the conditions which determine whether it is the same test on the system administrator side. The configuration for mixing the ranks of the students who have undergone the test and the ranks of the students corresponding to the history information is not particularly limited, but is preferably a configuration in which real-time characteristics can be expressed in the rank table. In the example of the configuration for mixing, the identification information (for example, name) of the newly tested student is inserted into the ranking table generated in advance for the student corresponding to the history information based on the grade. There is a configuration.

  Note that the configuration of the learning support system 100 is not limited to the above-described configuration, and the other may have a part or all of the functions included in either the learning support server 10 or the student terminal 21. That is, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the test information includes the test problem. However, a test question is stored in advance in a storage medium included in the plurality of student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33, and the test information includes a test question ID indicating the test question, and the student terminals 21 to 23, 31 to 31 33 may read the test question from the storage medium based on the received test information and display it.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the learning support server 10 and the student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33 are in accordance with a processing program (learning support processing program) stored in a storage medium included in the learning support server 10 and the student terminals 21 to 23 and 31 to 33. The various processes described above (see, for example, FIGS. 4, 5, and 7) are executed.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is useful for providing a learning support technology that can improve the learning motivation of a registered user (student) and enhance the learning effect.
