JP3742014B2 - Learning content acquisition confirmation system - Google Patents

Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a review test for a learning item already taken in a learning content acquisition level confirmation system, particularly a network learning system via a communication network.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In this type of learning, the learner is connected to the server of the learning center via the Internet with a terminal such as a personal computer, and basically the learner proceeds through interaction with the server. This is a very convenient learning method for busy modern people because they can learn anytime, anywhere as long as they have a terminal.
[0003]
On the other hand, in the case of collective learning, learning progresses under the supervision of a teacher or instructor, and in correspondence learning, regular report submission and testing are imposed, and the learner's omission is not allowed. Network learning has a drawback that learning is easy to flow freely compared to collective learning, etc., because of the deep color of self-learning.
[0004]
An invention that eliminates this type of drawback is proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-248171 as a “review method, review information providing server, and review program via the Internet”. This Internet review method uses a user terminal device to access a review homepage established on the Internet, and conducts a review test to determine the items that need to be reviewed. The corresponding part of the instructor supplementary explanation information is automatically displayed on the user terminal device.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the review method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-248171 described above, the learner voluntarily performs the review test. However, whether or not to take the review test is left to the learner's intention. Therefore, there is a first problem that the learning effect is not confirmed and there is a possibility that the learning progresses while the learning content is insufficiently digested. Since the above-mentioned invention is intended for a single workshop, such a problem may not be so serious, but in the case of Internet learning that learns over a period of time, learning is effective. Accumulation of understanding is important in order to proceed.
[0006]
In addition, although the patent application 2001-248171 does not have any description regarding the subject of the review test, it is presumed that it is a part of the lecture text part and the supplementary explanation information of the lecturer at the time of the course judging from the purpose of the whole description, and the learner It seems that the questions were not included. However, since the questionnaire is a part that is particularly difficult for the learner to understand, it is often the case that it is an obstacle to the progress of learning. There is a second problem that cannot be said.
[0007]
The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and a first object of the present invention is to provide a learning content acquisition confirmation system for forcing a learner to perform a review test. is there.
[0008]
A second object of the present invention is to provide a learning content acquisition level confirmation system that imposes a question test for confirming an understanding of matters asked by a learner on the learner.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  The learning content acquisition level confirmation system of the present invention is a learning content acquisition level verification system in which a learner terminal and a learning center server are connected via a communication network. The learning center server is configured to complete completion of learning for each learner, learning course, and unit. There is a learning history database for storing presence / absence, a teaching material database for storing teaching materials, a test database for storing review test questions and answers, and access to start unit learning from the learner's terminal And means for referring to the completion of the course from the learning history database for the unit learned last time, and means for transmitting the review test of the unit from the test database to the learner terminal when there is no storage of the completion of the course as a result of the reference; When confirming that the answer of the review test returned from the learner's terminal has reached a predetermined score And having a means for Osamu transmitting the Unit of teaching materials fill the complete time access from materials database to the learned terminal.
[0010]
  The learning history database stores a course registration mark that is entered by a course completion report from the learner terminal for each learner, course, and unit, and a course completion mark that is entered by course certification by the learning center server. The learning center server sends the review test for the unit from the test database to the learner's terminal when the registration mark is entered and the completion mark is not entered as a result of referring to the learning history database. If there is a declaration mark and a completion mark, the teaching material for the current access unit will be sent to the learner terminal, and the review test answer returned from the learner terminal has reached the prescribed score If you confirm, you may enter a completion mark.
[0011]
  In the present invention, the registration mark entered by the course completion registration from the learner terminal and the course completion mark entered by the course authorization by the learning center server are registered in the learning history database. To do. When there is access to start learning of the unit from the learner's terminal, refer to the learning history database for the unit registration mark and the completion mark of the unit that was learned, and as a result of reference, the course registration mark is filled in and the course is completed When the mark is not entered, the review test for the unit is transmitted from the test database to the learner terminal. Further, when there is an entry of a course registration mark and a course completion mark as a result of reference, the teaching material for the unit of access this time is transmitted to the learner terminal. Then, when it is confirmed that the answer of the review test returned from the learner terminal has reached a predetermined score, a registration completion mark is entered, and the teaching material for the unit accessed this time is transmitted from the teaching material database to the learning terminal.
[0012]
  In this way, when the learner wants to start learning, the review test is forced to be performed on the learner, so even in the case of network learning that learns over a period of time, Unless the learning effect is confirmed, it is not possible to proceed to the next learning stage. Therefore, it is possible to prevent learning from progressing with insufficient digestion and to realize effective network learning.
[0013]
  In addition, the learning center server includes a question and answer database that stores a question submitted by a learner and an answer created by the learning center server, a means for extracting a keyword included in the question from the question and answer database, a review test And a means for automatically searching a test database for a confirmation test question, which is a basic problem for confirming an understanding of the content of a unit, including a predetermined number of the keywords, and the confirmation test There may be means for creating a question test question as part of the review test by changing the question with a question.
[0014]
  In the present invention, a confirmation test question, which is a basic problem for confirming the understanding of the content of a unit, is registered in the test database in advance, and the question and answer to the question given by the learner are stored in the question and answer database. sign up. Then, the keywords included in the question are extracted from the question and answer database, and the confirmation test questions included in the review test are automatically searched from the test database for those including a predetermined number of keywords, and the confirmation test is performed. A question test question may be created as part of the review test by changing the question with a question.
[0015]
  Furthermore, the instructor terminal is connected to the communication network, the question stored by the learning center server in the question-and-answer database and the answer by the learning center server creation are sent to the instructor terminal, and the instructor terminal creates the question and the learning center server for it. When the answer is received from the learning center server, the question and the answer may be corrected by the inspector's review and transmitted to the learning center server.
[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0017]
[Configuration of Example]
The learning targeted by the present invention is assumed to be network learning in which learning is performed over a certain period of time, such as “Introduction to Computers”, “Bookkeeping Level 1 Course”, and “Basics of Civil Code”. is there. FIG. 1 shows a system configuration of an embodiment of the present invention configured to take such a learning course. Referring to FIG. 1, in this Internet learning system, a plurality of learner terminals 10, a learning center server 20, and a lecturer terminal 30 are connected via the Internet 40. In place of the Internet 40, for example, an intranet may be used.
[0018]
The learner terminal 10 is an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer used by the learner. The learner terminal 10 accesses a learning homepage established by the learning center server 20 on the Internet 40, obtains learning contents, receives an e-mail, and obtains / receives homepage screen information, It includes means for displaying learning content, electronic mail, etc., manual input means, and voice input / output means.
[0019]
The learning center server 20 is an information processing apparatus provided on the side of an educator who performs Internet learning, and opens a learning home page on the Internet 40. The learning center server 20 includes a control unit 21, a attendance guidance database 22, a learner database 23, a learning history database 24, a teaching material database 25, a question and answer database 26, a test database 27, and a lecturer database 28. These control part 21 and each database 22-28 are implement | achieved when the computer and memory which comprise the learning center server 20 are controlled by a program.
[0020]
The control unit 21 is connected to the learning center server 20 from the learner terminal 10 and the lecturer terminal 30 in addition to the transmission / reception means for transmission / reception with the learner terminal 10 and the lecturer terminal 30 and the access means for accessing the databases 22 to 28. Authentication means for determining whether or not to access a learning homepage via the Internet 40, means for determining whether or not a review test is necessary, means for scoring a review test, means for generating a question test, and the like.
[0021]
Specifically, the transmission / reception means transmits a list of learning courses, disapproval of attendance, ID and password, contents of the learning course, previous learning items, review test questions, answers to questions, etc. to the learner terminal 10 Then, a learning course browsing request, learner attributes, learning course selection, learning item selection, review test answer, question, class registration, etc. are received from the learner terminal 10. The transmission / reception means also transmits permission for attendance, questions, information for creating a question test, etc. to the instructor terminal 30, and receives answers to questions, created question test questions, etc. from the instructor terminal 30.
[0022]
Specifically, the access means registers initial data such as learning guidance data, teaching material data, confirmation test questions, instructor data in the database in advance, and learner attributes, IDs and passwords, course histories, and questions according to subsequent processing. , Q & A questions, lecturer data, etc. are registered in the database. The access means reads the learning course, the table of contents of the learning course, the learning item, the review test question, the question, the answer / answer of the question, and the like from the database.
[0023]
In the attendance guidance database 22, for each learning course to be provided, the ID, summary, instructor ID, preliminary knowledge that is a prerequisite for learning, text to be used, impressions and advice of students already attended, tuition, etc. Pre-registered by the side.
[0024]
In the learner database 23, learner attributes such as a learner name, address, e-mail address, ID, and password are registered for each learner permitted to attend. The general user declares the learner name, address, e-mail address, etc. from the learner terminal 10 to the learning center server 20 at the time of enrollment application, and notifies the learner terminal 10 of the ID, password, etc. from the learning center server 20.
[0025]
A learning history is stored in the learning history database 24 for each ID of the learner and for each learning course as the learning progresses. For example, when the basic text of the learning material can be subdivided into editions, chapters, sections, and sections, the learning history is shown in FIG. 2, with a course registration mark S and a course completion mark for each section as a unit. It is managed by entering K. The term is displayed in units of one screen of the learner terminal 10, and the course registration mark S is entered by the self-report of the learner. On the other hand, the registration completion mark K is entered by the control unit if it passes a review test imposed at the next learning.
[0026]
In this Internet learning system, a review test is compulsorily imposed on the learner every day when learning begins, and if the student cannot complete a certain grade, the completion mark K corresponding to the previous course registration mark S is entered. First, the previous review is forced. Therefore, since the teaching material of the day is not sent to the learner terminal 10, the student confirms the course registration until the next time.
[0027]
The teaching material database 25 stores character, figure, image, and voice information that has been digitized in advance by the educator for the basic text for each learning course. The basic text is edited so that one term as a unit becomes one screen unit of the learner terminal 10. The basic text is displayed on the screen of the learner terminal 10 as characters, diagrams, and images, and can be output as voice from the speaker of the learner terminal 10. The teaching material database 25 holds keywords included in the basic text for each unit (term). Keywords are selected by the creator of the material.
[0028]
The question-and-answer database 26 stores a question given by the learner at the time of learning, an answer by the learning center server 20 and an answer by the lecturer. The answer by the learning center server 20 is for a previously asked question and is stored in the question and answer database 26 in advance. On the other hand, the answer by the instructor is for an unanswered question. Such a question is transferred to the instructor terminal 30 by e-mail, and is stored in the question-and-answer database 26 when it is answered from the instructor terminal 30.
[0029]
In the test database 27, a confirmation test for confirming the content of the previous learning linked to the ID of the learning item, and questions and correct answers of the comprehensive test for each edition, chapter, section, and the entire learning course are stored in advance. ing. These measures the level of mastery of basic texts and are uniformly imposed on all learners. In the present invention, these are created on the basis of the contents of the questions during the previous learning and their answers. The question test questions specific to the learner are also stored in the correspondence between the learner ID and the learning item ID. The question test questions and answers are created from the questions and answers stored in the question and answer database 26. As described later, the creation is performed automatically by a relatively simple one or semi-automatically or manually by a lecturer at a lecturer terminal 30 for a complicated one.
[0030]
In the instructor database 28, instructor attributes such as an instructor name, an address, an e-mail address, an ID, and a password, and a learning course in charge are stored in advance by the learner side. In addition, since the number of learners who have taken the learning course in charge of the instructor is added in a timely manner, the instructor can easily grasp his or her burden.
[0031]
The lecturer terminal 30 is an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer used by the lecturer. The instructor terminal 30 accesses a learning homepage established by the learning center server 20 on the Internet 40, obtains a learner's course, a means for receiving an e-mail, and a homepage obtained / received. It includes means for displaying screen information, course content, e-mail, etc., manual input means for making comments and answering unanswered questions, and voice input / output means.
[0032]
Next, an operation when a general user learns in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0033]
[Preparation for study]
Initially, the educational practitioner side provides attendance guidance for the learning courses that can be provided, the attendance guidance database 22, the teaching material database 25 for the basic text of the learning courses that can be provided, the test database 27 for the confirmation test questions and answers, and the instructor database for the lecturer attributes. (Step A1 in FIG. 3). At this stage, the question test questions and answers in the learner database 23, the learning history database 24, the question and answer database 26, and the test database 27 remain empty.
[0034]
A general user who is interested in learning using the Internet learning system accesses the learning home page established by the learning center server 20 on the Internet 40 from the learner terminal 10 and requests browsing of the provided learning course. (Step A2). The control unit 21 of the learning center server 20 reads out the course names of the learning courses stored in the attendance guidance database 22, creates a list, and transmits an overview of the attendance guidance to the learner terminal 10 (step A3).
[0035]
Since a list of learning courses is displayed on the screen of the learner's terminal 10, when a general user finds a learning course that he or she wants to learn, the name, address, e-mail address, etc. The learner attribute is transmitted to the learning center server 20 (step A4). The control unit 21 registers the learner attribute with the learner ID in the learner database 23, and exchanges with the learner terminal 10, the attendance guidance database 22, and affiliated financial institution servers (not shown). Then, whether or not to attend the course is determined by checking learning start requirements such as preliminary knowledge and payment of tuition, which are prerequisites for learning (step A5).
[0036]
In the case of non-permission (NO in step A6), the control unit 21 notifies the learner terminal 10 to that effect (step A7). If the permission is granted (YES in step A6), the ID and password are transmitted to the learner terminal 10 (step A8), and the password and the course name are registered in the learner database 23 in association with the ID. (Step A8). The control unit 21 notifies the lecturer terminal 30 by e-mail with the learning course and the learner attribute that the learner has been added (step A9). As a result, the general user becomes a learner, and the conditions for starting learning at any time using the learner terminal 10 are in place.
[0037]
[Summary of learning]
When the learner inputs the ID and password at the learner terminal 10 and logs in to the learning center server 20 (step B1 in FIG. 4), the control unit 21 authenticates and the learning course name registered by the learner is registered. The list is read from the learner database 23 and transmitted to the learner terminal 10 (step B2). The learner selects a learning course that is about to be learned from the learning course list screen and transmits it to the learner center server 20 (step B3).
[0038]
The control unit 21 refers to the teaching material database 25 and transmits the table of contents of the learning course to the learner terminal 10 (step B4). When the learner looks at the table of contents and selects a learning item to be learned this time (step B5), the control unit 21 refers to the learning history database 24 to determine whether or not it is necessary to impose a review test. Learning items to be transmitted to the terminal 10 are determined (steps B6 and B7). A decision table for making this determination is shown in FIG. In this decision table, there are cases depending on whether or not the course registration mark S and the course completion mark K are entered in the entry column at the time of previous learning. If there is no previous entry field, the review test is unnecessary because the current study is the first study in the study course.
[0039]
In FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, if “Course registration mark is present” (YES in step B6) and “Course completion mark is absent” (YES in step B7), this means that the previous learning has been completed in a normal state. This time, the review test process (shown in FIG. 6) is executed (step B8) since the review test for the previous learning item should be started this time. If you pass the review test, “No Course Completed Mark” will change to “Class Completed Present”. In FIG. 4, presence / absence is indicated by “1” and “0”.
[0040]
Also, if “Course registration mark is present” (YES in step B6) and “Course completion mark is present” (NO in step B7), it means that the review of the completed study items has been reported, The selected learning item (step B5) is transmitted (step B9) and, of course, no review test is required.
[0041]
Also, if there is no “Course Registration Mark” (NO in Step B6), it may be the case that the study was terminated just by taking the review test in the previous time, or the study started, but the registration mark was declared It means that it was a case that did not. At this time, the review test is not necessary, and a message “Please learn the previous learning item” is displayed (step B10).
[0042]
[Review test]
If the review test is required (steps B6 and B7) and the review test is required (YES in step B7), the review test process shown in FIG. 6 is executed (step B8). The control unit 21 extracts a predetermined review test question from the test database 27 based on the processing results of steps B6 and B7, and transmits it to the learner terminal 10 (step C1 in FIG. 6).
[0043]
In this case, there are two methods for selecting the review test questions, and either method may be adopted. One of them is to extract a predetermined number of questions from among the confirmation test questions and the question test questions to which the previous learning item ID is attached. This method has an advantage that the question test question based on the questions from other learners can be diverted when the number of questions from the learners who are going to take this review test and the number of good quality questions are small.
[0044]
The other is that the confirmation test question is given the ID of the previous learning item, the question test question is assigned the previous learning item ID, and the learner is going to take this review test A predetermined number of problems are extracted from those assigned IDs. This method has an advantage that the question and answer of the learner who is going to take this review test can be more strongly reflected in the question and answer test question.
[0045]
Also, the total number of questions to be given is fixed, and all questions and questions are given as long as they do not exceed the total number of questions. If it exceeds, all questions will be Q & A questions, and if not, the remainder will be confirmation test questions. On the other hand, a certain number of basic confirmation test questions (but less than the total number of questions) may be given priority over the question test questions. This is because basic confirmation test questions may be more important than question test questions.
[0046]
The learner cannot circumvent the imposed review test. When the review test is received and the answer is transmitted to the learning center server 20 (step C2), the control unit 21 refers to the test database 27 and scores the answer by comparing it with the correct answer (step C3). As a result, if the score reaches a predetermined score or more (in the case of YES at step C4), the control unit 21 enters the previous registration completion mark K in the learning history database 24 (step C5), and the selected learning The item (step B5 in FIG. 4) is read from the teaching material database 27 and transmitted to the learner terminal 10 (step C6). On the other hand, if the predetermined score is not reached (NO in step C4), the control unit 21 reads the previous learning content from the teaching material database 27 and transmits it to the learner terminal 10 to force review (step C7). .
[0047]
[Learning / Q & A]
The learner terminal 10 that has received the learning item from the learning center server 20 in step B8 in FIG. 4 or steps C6 and C7 in FIG. 6 communicates with the learning center server 20 via the Internet 40 using the respective teaching material contents. While learning. In addition to text, diagrams, and images (including moving images), educational material content can be provided by voice.
[0048]
The learner learns from the provided teaching material contents (step D1 in FIG. 7), but can ask the learning center server 20 by text input or voice at the appropriate time (step D2). You can experience the realism of learning similar to that in This question is made in units of content (one term or part of one term) displayed on one screen of the learner terminal 10 in the basic text.
[0049]
When there is a question (YES in step D2), the control unit 21 that has received the question registers the question in the question and answer database 26 with the ID of the learning item (step D3). Then, the question content is analyzed, and for example, a similar question is searched from the question and answer database 26 using a keyword included in the question content (step D4). If the result is a hit (YES in step D5), the answer to the question is transmitted to the learner terminal 10 (step D6). If the learner thinks that the answer does not match the contents of the question, the student may be able to obtain a satisfactory answer by repeating the question with a different expression (YES in step D2).
[0050]
Even if the control unit 21 searches the question and answer database 26, a corresponding answer cannot be detected (NO in step D5), and the contents of the question are transmitted to the instructor terminal 30 by e-mail (step S5). D7). The control unit 21 acquires the lecturer ID by searching the attendance guidance database 22 using the learning course ID as a key, and then searches the lecturer database 28 using the lecturer ID as a key to obtain the e-mail address of the lecturer. You can get it. Questions from a plurality of learner terminals 10 are sent to the instructor terminal 30 at random from the learning center server 20. The instructor sees this, answers it, and transmits it to the learning center server 20 (step D8). The control unit 21 associates the answer with the corresponding question and registers it in the question and answer database 26 (step D9) and transmits it to the learner terminal 10 (step D10).
[0051]
The learner progresses in learning and has no questions (NO in step D2). When the learning is finished, the learner declares the course to the learning center server 20 in units of items (step D12). For this purpose, a registration declaration mark may be clicked on the screen of the learner terminal 10. When the control unit 21 receives the signal, the control unit 21 enters the course declaration mark S of the corresponding item in the learning history database 24 (step D13). In addition, the control unit 21 adds a check mark or a color different from the non-taken place to the place where the course has been taken in the table of contents of the teaching material database 25 (step D14). By doing so, the learner can easily find out where the student has not taken when looking at the table of contents, which is convenient when the term to be studied is designated (step B5 in FIG. 4).
[0052]
In the above description, when the review test fails, it is required to learn about the previous learning item (step C7 in FIG. 6 and step D1 in FIG. 7), and the learning of that time is completed by itself (FIG. 6). 7 step D11). Therefore, the learning of the learning item that was actually desired to be learned is carried over to the next time. However, this is so severe that even if the passing score is not reached due to the result of scoring (step C3 in FIG. 6), if it is close to it, the review test will be taken again within the day after the end of the previous learning item An opportunity may be given (step C1 in FIG. 6). The review test questions are often shuffled to avoid duplication with previous review test questions.
[0053]
[Create a question test question]
Next, a process in which the control unit 21 creates the question test question automatically and semi-automatically from the question and answer with reference to the question and answer database 26 will be described with reference to FIG. When the answer to the question is registered in the test database 27 (step D9 in FIG. 7), the control unit 20 immediately starts creating a question test question and an answer as shown in FIG. This is because the question-and-answer test question is included in the review test that is performed during the next learning (step C1 in FIG. 6) or within the day.
[0054]
A question test may be just a question of a question. For example, in the section on the right to substituting in the “Basics of Civil Law” course, the student asked, “Can a delegated agent act on his / her own behalf when a proxy is appointed?” There shall be. This question is directly used as a review test problem. In this case, it can be said that the memory of the learner is merely confirmed, but the establishment of the memory can be said to be a proof of understanding, so that it is meaningful. In particular, the content that the learner did not understand and bothered to ask questions is particularly important because it often affects the progress of learning.
[0055]
The control unit 20 reads the question and answer corresponding to the ID of the learning item from the question and answer database 26, and transmits the question and answer to the instructor terminal 30 in association with the ID of the learning item as the question and answer of the question and answer test (FIG. 8). Step E1). The instructor inspects the question and answer on the instructor terminal 30 (step E2), and those that are appropriate as the question-and-answer test are corrected, and those that are inappropriate are corrected and registered in the test database 27 (step of FIG. 8). E3). At this time, a mark for distinguishing from the confirmation test question is added.
[0056]
In addition, since the question is performed in units of screens on which the basic text is displayed on the learner terminal 10, keywords included in the question content are extracted (step E4), and a confirmation test question including a certain number of them is tested. The data is read from the database 22 and transmitted to the instructor terminal 30 together with the question (step E5). The keyword is extracted by comparing the contents of the question with the keyword of the item in the teaching material database 25.
[0057]
In addition, when learning is completed without any questions from the learner (NO in step D2 in FIG. 7 and YES in step D11), the completion of the course is notified. The instructor compares the question with the confirmation test question, and creates a question test question and an answer in which the confirmation test question is changed (step E6). In that case, you may divert the problem creation method currently used with the existing problem creation tool.
[0058]
In addition, referring to the question test question automatically generated from the question and answer registered in the test database 27 (step E3) (step E7), if combined with the question test question semi-automatically generated (step F6) Check whether it is enough as a question test. If it is determined that the result is insufficient (NO in step E8), a question test question and an answer are created using an existing question creation tool (step E9). Thus, the question test questions and answers created semi-automatically and manually are transmitted to the learning center server 20 (step E10), and are registered in the test database 27 corresponding to the learning item ID and the learner ID. (Step E11).
[0059]
A method for semi-automatically creating question and answer questions and answers (step E6) will be described by taking as an example the question of resurrection rights in the above-mentioned "Basics of Civil Code" course. The control unit 21 can extract five keywords such as delegation, agent, sub-agent, appointment, and proxy action from the question contents. The basic text section to which this question is linked via the screen of the learner's terminal 10 includes: “When an agent by delegation elects a sub-agent with the consent of the principal, In order to confirm this, there is a description of Article 105, Paragraph 1 of the Civil Code, which includes four common keywords (delegation, agent, sub-agent and appointment). Confirmation test with the right and wrong of "a proxy agent by delegation is responsible for the appointment and supervision of a proxy when a proxy agent is appointed with his / her permission". The problem should be stored in the test database 22.
[0060]
The instructor changed the question of this confirmation test, for example, “If a delegated agent appointed a subagent with the permission of the principal, he paid considerable attention, Can you create a question-and-answer test such as "Is there any responsibility for the person?" In this question-and-answer test, “substantial attention” is inserted into the confirmation test, but this term is a common phrase in the legal world, and such an insertion often appears in the text. In addition, “act of sub-agent” is replaced with “election and supervision”. The former means general action, while the latter means special action. The problem creation is a routine technique, and any teacher should be able to recall it easily. Therefore, according to such a semi-automatic method, it does not impose a special burden on the instructor to create a question test question.
[0061]
In addition, as for the changed problem mentioned above, “substantial attention” plays a role as a hook, and the correct answer is not confused by this. It is meaningful to ask whether the text itself is accurately memorized and understood, including the interpretation of the text. If created automatically, an insignificant problem may be generated, but this can be avoided by the teacher's intervention.

【The invention's effect】
The first effect of the present invention is the case of network learning where learning is performed over a period of time because the review test is forced to be performed when the learner wants to start learning. However, since it is not possible to proceed to the next learning stage without confirming the effect of the previous learning, it is possible to prevent the learning from proceeding with insufficient learning content and to realize effective network learning. That's what it means.
[0063]
The second effect of the present invention is to automatically and semi-automatically generate a question test for confirming the understanding of the question asked by the learner and to include it in the review test of the learner. It is a part that is particularly difficult for learners to understand, and it can facilitate a complete understanding of questions that are often an obstacle to the progress of learning.
