Description

The present invention relates to a system that supports the evaluation of information transmission activities. The "information transmission activity" here is performed between the sender and the receiver of information, including not only the activity of unilaterally transmitting information but also the case of sharing and exchanging information. It shall broadly include actions related to information. For example, learning guidance activities (referring to all learning guidance activities in a wide range of fields including highly specialized education such as classes, guidance and exercises in school education, training and lectures for working adults) are typical. However, it broadly includes not only learning guidance activities but also cases of providing information to a plurality of persons and exchanging information with a plurality of persons at meetings and meetings. And what is the system that supports the evaluation of information transmission activities? It is a support system for multifaceted evaluation of how it was understood.

Here, the background technology will be explained mainly by taking learning guidance activities as an example. Traditionally, the outcome of learning instruction activities has been evaluated by tests given to learners at the end of a semester or unit, such as a final test. However, the final exam only evaluates the learners, and does not necessarily reflect the results of learning guidance activities throughout the semester or unit. The final test cannot be expected to have the effect of increasing the understanding of the teaching content. Also, if the results of the final exam do not reflect the results expected by the instructor, it is difficult to pursue the cause based on the results of the final exam or to retroactively improve the guidance. ..

One of the solutions to such a problem is to perform an interim evaluation. The intermediate evaluation is an evaluation activity that evaluates how well the learner understands the contents of the instruction so far in the middle of the learning instruction. Based on the information obtained from the interim evaluation, the instructor changes the content of the learning instruction, and provides supplementary instruction to the learner who does not understand or does not understand. Will be possible. Learners can also enjoy the benefits of receiving those improved instruction. However, it cannot be said that the mid-term evaluation is widely implemented at present because there is a concern that the implementation of the interim evaluation will increase the burden on the instructor's work.

On the other hand, in order to improve the results of learning guidance activities, it is considered effective not only to improve on the learner side but also to improve the content and method of the lesson on the instructor side. As a prerequisite for improvement on the part of the instructor, an appropriate evaluation of the lesson is required. However, it is hard to say that appropriate evaluations have been carried out for classes in the past. For example, a questionnaire may be given to the learner asking for an evaluation of the lesson, which may be a superficial evaluation or a one-sided evaluation of the instructor. In addition, many of these types of surveys are conducted at the end of learning instruction activities, so while instructors can use the results of the questionnaire next time, the learners who respond to the questionnaire may not always benefit directly. The problem remains that there is no such thing. As described above, in order to solve the implementation / operational problems of the tests conducted by existing instructors and the questionnaires conducted to learners, it is carried out in the process of learning instruction activities, and the results can be reflected at any time. It is necessary to develop support tools for evaluation.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the applicant has proposed the system described in Patent Document 1 below and has already obtained a patent. In this system, the information transmitted by the sender is registered in advance in the form of keywords and their explanations, while the receiver participates in the information transmission place and then the transmitted information is also referred to as the keywords and their explanations. By posting in the form, both can be compared, and how the recipient understands the information can be evaluated efficiently and accurately. Since the sender evaluates and comments on each recipient who posted the keyword, it is possible to provide detailed response (supplementary guidance and advice) to each recipient, and also to carry out their own information transmission activities. You can browse the analysis results of the information, obtain useful information about your own qualities, and improve the quality of information transmission activities. In addition, the recipient participates in the information transmission place with a sense of tension by participating in the information transmission place on the premise of posting keywords and their explanations, and organizes the content of the information at the time of posting. By doing so, you can expect the effect of deepening your understanding, and by viewing the comments from the sender for your own posts, and by viewing the posted information and comments on it by yourself and other recipients that are open to the public. It can be used to improve the understanding of the content of information and to improve one's own qualities.

Before going into these detailed explanations, the outline of this system will be described from the viewpoint of the user (sender and receiver) with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. In FIG. 8, (T1) to (T6) are operations on the caller side, (R1) to (R2) are operations on the receiver side, two-dot chain lines are reflections of data, and dotted lines are caller or receiver. Shows the screen confirmation operation by.

The caller presets important elements to be communicated to the receiver in the information transmission activity (class, lecture, brainstorming, etc.) performed to the receiver in a specific class as a keyword (T1). The caller can set one or more keywords. It is also possible to set one or a plurality of sub-keywords for each main keyword with each keyword as the main keyword. These keywords are stored in the setting main keyword information storage unit 34-2 and the setting sub-keyword information storage unit 34-3.

On the other hand, the sender uses image files of materials used in the information transmission activity (for example, photographs of blackboards and whiteboards, documents and image files created by documents and illustration creation software, presentation creation software, etc.). , In a specific format (for example, JPEG format), assigns a unique file name and saves the file in the image material storage unit 35 of the database server 3 (T2).

In order to evaluate the information transmission activity, the caller installs a transmission point setting image as a frame for setting information for carrying out the evaluation of the related image material stored in the image material storage unit 35. It is registered in the transmission point setting image information storage unit 36-1 of the database server 3 (T3).

In the set transmission point setting image, the caller specifies the area corresponding to the keyword (sub-keyword if further set) as the transmission point in the information transmission activity, and about the coordinates and related text for each specified area. , The necessary data is registered in the transmission point keyword information storage unit 36-2 and the transmission point sub-keyword information storage unit 36-3 of the database server 3 (T4).

The system server 2 generates and outputs the storage point designation screen S1 based on the data registered in the database server 3 in relation to the transmission point setting image by the caller. When the receiver displays the storage point designation screen S1 on the terminal device 4 and specifies the points memorized during the lecture on the screen (R1), the data is stored in the storage point information storage unit 37 of the database server 3. Be remembered. The caller can output the storage status confirmation table S2 that displays the ratio and the like stored by the receiver for each set keyword by the system server 2, and can confirm the result of his / her information transmission activity. (T5).

The caller inputs supplementary information about the transmission point while checking the output storage status confirmation table S2 or the like (T6), and the data is stored in the transmission point supplementary information storage unit 39. The system server 2 has a storage point designation screen S1 that has already been generated, data related to the screen stored in the storage point information storage unit 37 in relation to the class screen, and the transmission point supplementary information storage unit 39. Based on the data stored in relation to the class screen, the result browsing screen S3 that displays the information transmission status and supplementary information is generated and output, and the recipient can browse this screen (R2). ..

About each function of h, supplementary information input function i-1, comment / question answer function i-2, and result viewing function j, what kind of processing is executed by the system server 2 and the database server 3 will be described.

3-1 Keyword setting function d
The keyword setting function d is a function for registering in advance important elements that the sender tried to convey in the information transmission activity performed to the receiver as keywords and using them for the subsequent processing. When setting a keyword, the caller selects the class from the class list shown in FIG. 9 displayed on the caller's terminal device 4 (the class ID is specified by this), and the caller is for the caller. On the operation screen, select the transmission keyword setting (T1) from the class menu. Upon receiving this, the system server 2 causes the terminal device 4 of the caller to display the screen for setting the transmission keyword shown in FIG. On this screen, the caller first selects "1 main keyword only" or "2 main + sub-keyword" in the keyword composition selection menu. FIG. 10A shows a display when 1 is selected, and FIG. 10B shows a display when 2 is selected. When 1 is selected, the caller can set one or more keywords in the information transmission activity using one image. When 2 is selected, the caller can set one or more main keywords and one or more sub-keywords for each main keyword in the information transmission activity using one image. The procedure for setting keywords will be described below.

First, when the caller selects "1 main keyword only" or "2 main + sub-keyword" displayed in the pull-down menu of the "1. Keyword configuration selection" menu of FIG. 10 displayed on the terminal device 4, this is selected. As shown in FIG. 4, the received system server 2 informs the keyword configuration information storage unit 34-1 belonging to the keyword setting related information storage unit 34 of the database server 3 according to the caller's selection, the caller's user ID and the caller's user ID. Generates a record that stores the keyword configuration (1: main only or 2: main / sub) associated with the class ID.

Next, when 1 is selected according to the selected keyword configuration, the system server 2 displays the main keyword input field and the registration button in the "2. Keyword input" menu as shown in FIG. 10 (a). When 2 is selected, the main keyword input field and registration button, and the sub-keyword input field and registration button are displayed in the "2. Keyword input" menu as shown in FIG. 10 (b). And the button for adding the sub-keyword and the button for adding the main keyword are displayed on the terminal device 4 of the caller, respectively.

In the keyword input menu shown in FIG. 10A, when the caller inputs the text of the keyword in the main keyword input field and operates the registration button, the system server 2 that receives this inputs the database as shown in FIG. Keyword setting of server 3 Setting belonging to the related information storage unit 34 The main keyword information storage unit 34-2 has the caller's user ID, class ID, and main keyword serial number (serial number automatically assigned in the order of registration, here. Then, since it is the first registration, a record that stores the text of the input main keyword is generated in association with 1). When entering the next keyword, when the caller operates the add button, the same main keyword input field and registration button are displayed at the bottom of the already entered field, and the add button is displayed at the bottom. It has become like. When the input of the second main keyword is completed and the registration button is operated, the caller's user ID, class ID, and main keyword serial number are displayed in the setting main keyword information storage unit 34-2 in the same manner as the first input. In association with (here, 2), a record for storing the text of the input main keyword is generated. In this way, the caller registers all the keywords to be set in order.

In the keyword input menu shown in FIG. 10 (b), when the caller inputs the text of the keyword in the main keyword input field and operates the registration button, the system server 2 that receives this is the example of FIG. 10 (a). As described above, the setting main keyword information storage unit 34-2 belonging to the keyword setting related information storage unit 34 of the database server 3 has the caller's user ID, class ID, and main keyword serial number (automatically in the order of registration). Since the serial number given is the first registration here, it is associated with 1) to generate a record that stores the text of the input main keyword.

Next, the caller sets the sub-keyword related to the main keyword input immediately before by using the sub-keyword input field displayed at the bottom of the main keyword input field. When the caller inputs the text of the sub-keyword in the sub-keyword input field and operates the registration button, the system server 2 that receives the text enters the keyword setting related information storage unit 34 of the database server 3 as shown in FIG. In the setting sub-keyword information storage unit 34-3 to which the caller belongs, the user ID and class ID of the caller, the main keyword serial number (1 in this case) of the main keyword entered immediately before, and the sub-keyword serial number (automatically in the order of registration). Since the serial number given is the first registration here, it is associated with 1) to generate a record that stores the text of the input subkeyword. When the caller subsequently registers the sub-keywords belonging to the main keyword one by one until the end, the system server 2 similarly generates a record in the setting sub-keyword information storage unit 34-3, but the sub-keyword sequence The number is incremented by 1 for each registration. When the displayed sub-keyword field is insufficient, the caller can display the sub-keyword input field and the registration field in succession by operating the button for adding the sub-keyword, and further input the sub-keyword. Is possible. If you want to enter the next main keyword after completing the entry and registration of all the sub-keywords that belong to one main keyword, you can operate the main keyword addition button to display the main keyword input field at the bottom. The registration button, sub-keyword input field, and registration button can be displayed as a set at the bottom.

The records generated in each storage unit of the keyword configuration information storage unit 34-1 belonging to the keyword setting related information storage unit 34, the setting main keyword information storage unit 34-2, and the setting sub-keyword information storage unit 34-3 are Records are managed by specifying multiple keys instead of managing by assigning a primary key, but these records are used only by the transmission point setting function f described below and are not used in other processes. Therefore, there is no particular need to assign a primary key for management.

3-2 Transmission point setting image installation function e
The transmission point setting image setting function e specifies the file name of the image material used in the information transmission activity (class, lecture, brainstorming, etc.) performed by the sender to the receiver, and is used for information transmission. This is a function for setting a frame on the image for performing evaluation.

As a premise, the sender stores the image material in a specific format (for example, JPEG format) in the image material storage unit 35 of the database server 3 with a unique file name. Since it is sufficient that the image material can be called by specifying the file name, the image material storage unit 35 only means an area for storing the image material in the database server 3, and is in a specific folder or the like. It is not always necessary to save them all together. As shown in FIG. 5, since the image data storage unit 35 only stores the image data in relation to the unique file name, it is not necessary to save the image data from the class menu shown in FIG.

When installing the transmission point setting image, the caller selects the class from the class list shown in FIG. 9 displayed on the caller's terminal device 4 (the class ID is specified by this), and the caller selects the class. On the caller operation screen, select the transmission point setting image setting (T3) from the class menu. On the transmission point setting image installation screen transmitted from the system server 2 that receives this, the file name of the image material for which the transmission point setting image is installed from the image material stored in the image material storage unit 35 by the caller. When is selected, the system server 2 that receives this sets a unique transmission point setting image ID (hereinafter referred to as "class image ID" because the target is the information transmission activity carried out in each class in this embodiment). As shown in FIG. 5, the transmission point setting image information storage unit 36-1 is set to display the file name, class ID, and selected image material of the image material in the x-axis direction. Generate a record including the number of grids, the number of grids in the y-axis direction, and the set date and time, and set the layer managed by this record. That is, the transmission point setting image is a grid as a layer that can be superimposed on the image material in order to specify the area necessary for evaluating the information transmission and display the text on the image material. It is the image data in which is set, and visually, it can be said that it is a work frame that is overlaid on the image material. Hereinafter, as an example of the image material, the transmission point setting function f, the memory point designation function g-1, the comment / question input function g-2, the storage status table confirmation function h, and the supplementary information input are used by using the image shown in FIG. Each function of the function i-1, the comment / question input function i-2, and the result viewing function j will be described. By installing the transmission point setting image, the operation screen of the transmission point setting function f displays a screen in which a grid as shown in FIG. 12 is superimposed on the image shown in FIG. 11, and this grid is used. You will be able to specify the area.

3-3 Transmission point setting function f
The transmission point setting function f is used to set an area corresponding to the keyword (and sub-keyword) set by the keyword setting function d on the transmission point setting image installed by the transmission point setting image setting function e. It is a function of. The area on the image corresponding to the keyword and sub-keyword set by the caller is hereinafter referred to as "transmission point".

When the caller sets the transmission point on the transmission point setting image, the caller selects the class from the class list shown in FIG. 9 displayed on the caller's terminal device 4 (the class ID is specified by this). When the transmission point setting (T4) is selected from the class menu, the system server 4 that receives this selects the keyword configuration information storage unit 34-1, the setting main keyword information storage unit 34-2, and the setting sub-keyword information storage unit 34-2. Access to the transmission point setting image information storage unit 36-1 of unit 34-3, acquire the necessary information using the class ID as a key, and display the transmission point setting screen shown in FIG. 13 on the caller's terminal device 4. Let me. As shown in FIG. 13, on the transmission point setting screen, the keyword display field of the keyword registered in relation to the class ID and the transmission point setting image registered in relation to the class ID are image data. An image display field that is combined and displayed is provided.

FIG. 13 shows an example in which “with main / sub” is set as the keyword configuration. In the keyword display column, the first registered main keyword "how to determine the final line" and the "too much 1 calculation" and "too much 2 calculation" registered as subkeywords of the first main keyword, "Calculation of 3 too much" is displayed. Further, in the image display column, a screen is displayed in which a grid is superimposed on the image used by the caller in the information transmission activity of the class by the transmission point setting image.

Next, the procedure for setting the transmission point using the transmission point setting screen will be described. The caller specifies the area of the corresponding part of the image displayed in the image field according to the order of the keywords displayed in the keyword display field. For example, select the first "how to determine the final line" displayed in the keyword display field of FIG. 13, and the corresponding area on the image displayed in the image display field (here, the characters of the final line calculation are The area is specified by drawing the displayed boxed portion) with a pointing device from the upper left vertex of the boxed portion as a starting point toward the lower right vertex. When selecting a line corresponding to a keyword, the line is specified by moving the pointing device from the departure point to the end point of the line and returning the pointing device to the departure point while continuing the operation as it is.

FIG. 14 shows a state in which the designation of the area corresponding to the first main keyword “how to determine the final line” is completed. In the keyword display field, the selected keyword is shaded, and in the image display field, the area specified for the keyword is shaded. By completing the area designation for the first keyword in this way, the system server 2 assigns a unique transmission point keyword ID to the transmission point keyword information storage unit 36-2 as shown in FIG. The text of the keyword, the class image ID, the display order (same as the main keyword serial number stored in the setting main keyword information storage unit 34-2), the user ID of the caller, and the area corresponding to the specified keyword. Generates a record including the start position of the coordinates in the x direction, the number of grids in the x direction, the start position of the coordinates in the y direction, the number of grids in the y direction, and the set date and time.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, sub-keywords are set for the first main keyword "how to determine the final line". Therefore, when the area designation of the main keyword is completed, the sub-keyword is displayed on the image. Specify the area in the same procedure as the main keyword in the order of setting. Each time the area is specified for the sub-keyword, the system server 2 assigns a unique transmission point sub-keyword ID to the transmission point sub-keyword information storage unit 36-3 as shown in FIG. Corresponds to the text, class image ID, display order (same as the sub-keyword serial number stored in the setting sub-keyword information storage unit 34-3), transmission point keyword ID of the main keyword to which the sub-keyword belongs, and the specified sub-keyword. A record including the start position of the coordinates in the x direction, the number of grids in the x direction, the start position of the coordinates in the y direction, the number of grids in the y direction, and the set date and time is generated.

As described above, the transmission points are set in order for all the set keywords (main keyword and sub-keyword). On the transmission point setting screen, in order to distinguish the display of the main keyword and the sub-keyword, for example, the main keyword may be displayed in a dark color, and the sub-keyword may be displayed in a light color of a similar color.

In the embodiment described above, the keyword is first set and saved, and the transmission point is set while using this information. On the other hand, as another embodiment, the keyword display field displayed in FIG. 13 is used as a keyword input field, and keywords are input while looking at the keyword structure described in a memo or the like without saving the keyword settings in advance. By designating the area on the image, it is possible to create a system in which records are generated in the transmission point keyword information storage unit 36-2 and the transmission point sub-keyword information storage unit 36-3.
