Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 uses the input reception unit 281 to receive from the teacher terminal 300 the designation of the class day (class day) that is the homework submission deadline (step S1103).

Next, when the class date is designated, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the homework list acquisition unit 284 to refer to the homework database 220, acquires a list of homework information for the subject corresponding to this class, and generates a screen generation unit. 287 causes the teacher terminal 300 to display a list of homework information (step S1104).

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 determines whether or not the input reception unit 281 has received selection of homework information from the teacher terminal 300 (step S1105). If the selection of homework information is not accepted in step S1105, the assignment management processing unit 280 waits until the selection of homework information is accepted.

In this embodiment, the homework information is registered in advance, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the present embodiment, for example, instead of displaying a list of homework information, a screen for creating homework information may be displayed, and the teacher may select, for example, which questions to set as homework.

In step S1105, when the selection of homework information is accepted, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the teacher terminal 300 to display a homework list screen showing a list of homework already presented for the specified grade/class (step S1105). S1106). Details of the processing in step S1106 will be described later.

Here, the selected homework information is the assignment to be assigned to the students of the designated grade/class. Also, the deadline set on the deadline setting screen is the deadline for assignments to be assigned to students in the designated grade/class.

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the screen generation unit 287 to display a confirmation screen on the teacher terminal 300 for selecting whether or not to present the homework (step S1107).

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 determines whether or not homework presentation is selected by the input receiving unit 281 (step S1108). In step S1108, if the homework presentation selection is not accepted, the assignment management processing unit 280 proceeds to step S1116, which will be described later.

In step S1108, when the homework presentation selection is received, the assignment management processing unit 280 updates the take-home learning database 260 by the take-home learning update unit 286, and updates the progress management database 270 by the progress update unit 285 (step S1109). ). Details of the processing in step S1109 will be described later.

Next, the task management processing unit 280 refers to the updated take-home learning database 260 and progress management database 270, and causes the teacher terminal 300 to display the homework list screen including the newly presented homework (step S1110). Details of the processing in step S1110 will be described later.

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the homework amount determination unit 289 to determine whether or not the amount of homework on the day when homework presentation is selected (the homework presentation date) is equal to or greater than the specified amount on the homework list screen. (step S1111).

In FIG. 11, it is determined whether or not the amount of homework on the day of homework presentation is equal to or greater than a specified amount, but the present invention is not limited to this. Assignment management processing unit 280 may proceed to processing described later according to the result of determining whether or not there is a day on which the amount of homework is equal to or greater than the specified amount on the homework list screen displayed in step S1110.

In step S1111, if the amount of homework is less than the specified amount, the assignment management processing section 280 proceeds to step S1114, which will be described later.

In step S1111, if the amount of homework is equal to or greater than the specified amount, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the screen generation unit 287 to display a warning screen against the addition of homework on the teacher terminal 300 (step S1112). Details of the warning screen will be described later.

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 determines whether or not the input reception unit 281 has received a selection of homework presentation (step S1113). In step S1113, if the homework presentation selection is not accepted, the assignment management processing unit 280 proceeds to step S1117, which will be described later.

In step S1113, when the selection of presenting the homework is received, the assignment management processing unit 280 confirms the status of the take-home learning database 260 and the progress management database 270 updated in step S1109 (step S1114). In other words, assignment management processing unit 280 stores the take-home learning information generated based on the homework information newly added in step S1109 and the progress management information in take-home learning database 260 and progress management database 270, respectively. .

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 terminates the display of the homework list screen (step S1115), and terminates the process.

In step S1108, when the homework presentation selection is not accepted, the assignment management processing unit 280 cancels the setting of the homework submission deadline specified in step S1103 (step S1116), and proceeds to step S1115.

In step S1113, if the homework presentation selection is not accepted, the assignment management processing unit 280 restores the take-home learning database 260 and the progress management database 270 to their original states (step S1117), and proceeds to step S1115. In other words, assignment management processing unit 280 deletes the take-home learning information and progress management information held in take-home learning database 260 and progress management database 27 in step S1109, and proceeds to step S1115.

Next, referring to FIG. 12, the process of displaying the homework list screen will be described. FIG. 12 is a flow chart illustrating processing for displaying a homework list screen according to the first embodiment. The processing shown in FIG. 12 shows the details of the processing in steps S1106 and S1110 in FIG.

The assignment management processing unit 280 of this embodiment refers to the take-home learning database 260 by the screen generation unit 287, and selects the homework presentation ID associated with the designated grade/class (step S1201).

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the screen generation unit 287 to divide the homework required time included in the take-home study information including the selected homework presentation ID by the number of days from the homework presentation date to the deadline, and divides the homework presentation date. The time required for homework is calculated for each day from 1 to the due date (step S1202).

Next, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the screen generation unit 287 to divide the estimated homework time included in the take-home study information including the selected homework presentation ID by the number of days from the homework presentation date to the deadline, and divides the homework presentation date. Calculate the estimated homework time for each day from to the deadline (step S1203)
Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 determines whether or not the processing of steps S1202 and S1203 has been performed for all homework presentation IDs associated with the designated grade/class in the take-home learning database 260 ( step S1204).

In step S1204, if all applicable homework presentation IDs have not been processed, assignment management processor 280 selects the next homework presentation ID in take-home learning database 260 (step S1205), and returns to step S1202.

In step S1204, when all applicable homework presentation IDs have been processed, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the screen generation unit 287 to sum up the homework presentation IDs of the same day and the corresponding daily homework required time. , the total homework required time for each day is calculated (step S1206).

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the homework amount calculation unit 288 to refer to the maximum time database 250, and calculates the ratio of the total required time for homework for each day to the maximum time corresponding to the designated grade. (step S1207). The calculated amount of homework may be stored in the take-home learning database 260 as part of the take-home learning information.

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the screen generation unit 287 to generate a homework list including a list of estimated homework time for each homework presentation ID, a list of total homework required time by day, and a list of amount of homework by day. Data for displaying the screen is generated (step S1208).

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 outputs the generated data, causes the teacher terminal 300 to display the homework list screen (step S1209), and ends the process of displaying the homework list screen.

Next, referring to FIG. 13, the process of updating the take-home learning database 260 and the progress management database 270 will be described.

FIG. 13 is a flow chart illustrating processing for updating the database according to the first embodiment. FIG. 13 shows details of the processing in step S1109 of FIG.

The homework presentation ID, homework presentation date, set deadline, and homework are presented to the selected homework ID by the take-home learning updater 286. Generate take-home learning information in which the subject and time period of the class are associated with each other. Then, the take-home learning update unit 286 holds the generated take-home learning information in the take-home learning database 260 (step S1301).

Next, the assignment management processing unit 280 selects a student ID corresponding to the designated grade/class from the student database 240 (step S1302).

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the progress update unit 285 to refer to the student database 240 and obtains the answer time coefficient of the selected student ID (step S1303). At this time, the progress updating unit 285 acquires the answering time coefficient of the subject corresponding to the selected homework ID.

Subsequently, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the progress update unit 285 to refer to the homework content database 230 corresponding to the selected homework ID, and acquires the estimated time for each added homework presentation ID and corresponding problem ID. (Step S1304).

Subsequently, the task management processing unit 280 multiplies the estimated time for each question ID by the answer time coefficient, calculates the required time for each question (step S1305), are associated with each other and stored in the progress management database 270 (step S1306).

Subsequently, the progress updating unit 285 determines whether or not the processing from step S1303 to step S1306 has been performed for all students corresponding to the designated grade/class in the student database 240 (step S1307).

In step S1307, if processing has not been performed for all applicable student IDs, the assignment management processing unit 280 selects the next student ID (step S1308) and returns to step S1303.

In step S1307, when all applicable student IDs have been processed, the assignment management processing unit 280 causes the take-home learning updating unit 286 to refer to the progress management database 270 and associate each student ID with the homework presentation ID. The total required time for each question obtained is calculated (step S1309).

In other words, in step S1309, the time required to answer all the questions included in the homework content indicated by the selected homework ID is calculated for each student.

Subsequently, the take-home learning updating unit 286 acquires the median value of the total required time for each question for each student ID (step S1310). Subsequently, the take-home learning update unit 286 stores this median in the take-home learning database 260 as the homework required time associated with the homework presentation ID (step S1311).

Next, the take-home learning updating unit 286 refers to the homework content database 230 associated with the selected homework ID, and calculates the total estimated time for each question ID (step S1312). Subsequently, the take-home learning update unit 286 causes the take-home learning database 260 to hold the total estimated time for each question ID as the estimated homework time associated with the homework presentation ID (step S1313), and the take-home learning database 260 and progress The process of updating the management database 270 ends.

As described above, in this embodiment, when a homework ID is selected on the teacher terminal 300 and a selection is made to present the homework, the take-home learning database 260 and the progress management database 270 are created based on the selected homework ID. Updated.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the processing in step S1106 of FIG. 11 before the homework is presented and the processing in step S1110 after the new homework is presented are the same processing.

Next, display examples on the teacher terminal 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 19. FIG.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a deadline setting screen according to the first embodiment. A screen 141 shown in FIG. 14 shows an example of the deadline setting screen displayed on the teacher terminal 300 in step S1102.

The screen 141 includes a grade/class display field 142 , a timetable display field 143 , and an operation button 144 .

The designated grade/class is displayed in the grade/class display field 142 . The timetable display column 143 displays timetable information for the designated grade/class. The operation button 144 is a display component for transitioning the screen 141 to a screen displaying a list of homework information.

On the screen 141, for example, when the display column 145 for the first period of Monday displayed in the timetable display column 143 is selected, the first-year class 3 displayed in the grade/class display column 142 is displayed on the following Monday. The first Japanese language class is set as the homework submission deadline.

In other words, the date on which the screen 141 was displayed is set as the presentation date, and the date corresponding to Monday indicated by the display field 145 is set as the deadline.

Although the date when the screen 141 was displayed (presentation date) is not displayed on the screen 141 , information indicating the presentation date may be displayed on the screen 141 . Also, in the timetable display field 143 of the screen 141, a display indicating the class being conducted when the screen 141 is displayed may be made. For example, when the screen 141 is displayed on the teacher terminal 300 during the Japanese language class in the first period on Monday, the column for the fifth period on Monday in the timetable display column 143 may be highlighted.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displaying a list of homework information according to the first embodiment. A screen 151 shown in FIG. 15 shows an example of a screen of a list of homework information displayed on the teacher terminal 300 in step S1104.

The screen 151 may be displayed on the teacher terminal 300 when the operation button 144 is operated on the screen 141, for example.

The screen 151 includes a subject display field 152 , a content display field 153 , a homework content display field 154 and operation buttons 155 .

The subject display field 152 displays the subject of the time limit set as the homework submission deadline. The content display column 153 displays a list of content data corresponding to the subject. The homework content display field 154 displays a list of homework content included in the content data. The operation button 155 is an operation button for transitioning the screen 151 to a homework list screen to be displayed next.

On the screen 151, since the subject specified in the subject display field 152 is "national language", the content display field 153 displays a list of content data of which the subject is "national language" among the content data stored in the content database 210. is displayed.

When a content ID is selected in the content display field 153, a list of homework information included in the selected content data is displayed in the homework content display field 154. FIG.

Since the content ID "K001" is selected on the screen 151, the homework content display column 154 displays a list of homework IDs and homework content associated with the content ID "K001" in the homework database 220. .

In this embodiment, when a homework ID is selected in the homework content display field 154, it is accepted as a selection of homework information.

FIG. 16 is a first diagram showing an example of a homework list screen according to the first embodiment. A screen 161 shown in FIG. 16 is an example of a homework list screen displayed on the teacher terminal 300 in step S1106 of FIG.

The screen 161 has a homework list display field 162 and operation buttons 163 . The homework list display field 162 displays a list of homework assigned to the student for each subject. The operation button 163 is an operation button for changing the screen 161 to a homework presentation confirmation screen to be displayed next.

The homework list display field 162 will be described below.

The homework list display column 162 of the present embodiment includes a display column 165 for displaying the estimated homework time for homework already assigned for each subject, a display column 166 for displaying the total homework required time for each day, and a display column 166 for displaying the total homework required time for each day. and a display field 167 in which the amount of homework is displayed.

Also, in the example of FIG. 16, the column 162W for Wednesday is highlighted, indicating that the day of the week when the screen 161 was displayed on the teacher terminal 300 is Wednesday.

First, the display for each subject in the homework list display field 162 will be described.

The homework list display field 162 displays, for each subject, an arrow indicating the number of days from the homework submission date to the homework submission deadline, the estimated homework time, and the estimated homework time for each day. The arrow, estimated homework time, and estimated daily homework time are displayed based on the take-home learning information stored in the take-home learning database 260 .

In the example of FIG. 16, in the homework list display field 162, an arrow 168 is displayed in the field corresponding to the subject "English".

The arrow 168 is displayed based on the take-home study information including the homework presentation ID "ST002" in the take-home study database 260 (see FIG. 8). The presentation date in the take-home study information including the homework presentation ID "ST002" is 4/19 (Wednesday), and the deadline is 4/22 (Saturday). Therefore, the arrow 168 is displayed in the homework list display field 162 in association with the three days from 4/19 to 4/21.

Also, the estimated homework time included in the take-home learning information including the homework presentation ID "ST002" is 60 minutes. Therefore, in the column corresponding to the subject "English" in the display column 165, 60 minutes is displayed with the homework presentation ID "ST002" as the estimated homework time.

Also, the estimated homework time for each day of the homework presentation ID “ST002” is 20 minutes, which is the time obtained by dividing 60 minutes by 3. Therefore, the estimated daily homework time “20 minutes” is the estimated daily homework time associated with each of the three days from April 19 to April 21 associated with the arrow 168 in the homework list display field 162. 169.

In this way, in the homework list display column 162 of the present embodiment, for each subject, the arrow corresponding to the take-home learning information stored in the take-home learning database 260, the estimated homework time, the estimated daily homework time, is displayed.

In the example of FIG. 16, when the screen 161 is displayed, homework is presented in five subjects: English, mathematics, science (chemistry), social studies (history), and art.

Next, the daily display in the homework list display field 162 will be described.

In the homework list display field 162, for each day, the total homework required time, which is the total of the homework required time for each day calculated from the homework presentation ID and the corresponding homework required time, and the maximum time of the maximum time database 250 and all homework The amount of homework calculated based on the required time and is displayed.

For example, in display field 166 of screen 161, Wednesday's total homework required time is 65 minutes, and in display field 167, Wednesday's homework amount is 92.9%.

Here, the time required for all homework on Wednesday will be specifically explained. On the screen 161, the subjects indicated by arrows in the column for Wednesday are the five subjects of English, Mathematics, Science (Chemistry), Society (History), and Art.

Therefore, the assignment management processing unit 280 acquires the required homework time, the homework presentation date and deadline from the take-home study information for these five subjects. Then, for the five subjects, the homework required time for each day is calculated by dividing the homework required time by the number of days from the presentation of the homework to the deadline.

The total homework required time for each day of the five subjects is the total homework required time.

In the take-home learning database 260, the required homework time corresponding to the homework presentation ID "ST002" is 63 minutes. Therefore, the daily homework time required for the English homework already presented as of Wednesday is 21 minutes, which is 63 minutes divided by 3 days.

Similarly, for the other four subjects, the required homework time for each day of the homework already presented on Wednesday is calculated. The total homework required time for each day of the five subjects is the total homework required time “65 minutes” displayed in the column for Wednesday in the display column 166 .

On the screen 161, the total homework required time for each day is similarly calculated for the other days of the week, and displayed in the display field 166 for each day of the week (every day).

Next, the amount of homework on Wednesday will be specifically explained. On the screen 161, the total homework time required for Wednesday displayed in the display field 166 is 65 minutes.

On the other hand, the longest time stored in the longest time database 250 and corresponding to the first year of junior high school is 70 minutes.

Since the amount of homework in this embodiment is the ratio of the total homework required time to the maximum time, the amount of homework on Wednesday is 92.9%.

Therefore, the amount of homework on Wednesday is the amount of homework estimated to be completed in less time than the maximum time, and is less than the prescribed amount. On the screen 161, the amount of homework for each day is similarly calculated for other days of the week, and displayed in the display column 167 for each day of the week (every day).

Thus, according to the present embodiment, by displaying the amount of homework (load) for each day, the teacher can grasp the degree of the daily load assigned to the student. be able to.

Note that the specified amount in this embodiment is 100%. In other words, in the present embodiment, the prescribed amount is the amount of homework that can be completed in the same amount of time as the longest period of time. Therefore, in this embodiment, if the total homework required time per day is shorter than the maximum time, the amount of homework is determined to be less than the specified amount.

Note that the prescribed amount in this embodiment may not be 100%, and may be, for example, approximately 80%. The value of the prescribed amount may be arbitrarily set by the administrator of the assignment management system 100 or the like.

Also, the homework required time for each homework in this embodiment is updated each time the progress management information in the progress management database 270 is updated. In other words, the homework required time for each homework decreases as the number of questions included in the homework that have already been answered increases.

Therefore, on the homework list screen of the present embodiment, as the number of homework questions that have already been answered increases, the amount of homework becomes a smaller value. In other words, the daily load displayed on the homework list screen of the present embodiment is reduced according to the progress of the homework (assignment).

Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible for the teacher to grasp how much time is required to complete the assigned homework in the designated grade/class. Further, according to the present embodiment, it is possible for the teacher to grasp how much the amount of homework already assigned has been reduced.

Also, the homework required time for each homework is the median value of the sum of the required time for each problem for each student. For example, it is assumed that the English homework presentation ID "ST002" and the corresponding homework ID "S002" include three problems with an assumed time set to 10 minutes.

In this case, the total time required for each problem of each student becomes smaller in a class that has more students whose English answer time coefficients in the student database 240 are smaller. Therefore, the required homework time corresponding to the homework presentation ID "ST002" also becomes a smaller value in a class having more students with a smaller answer time coefficient for English.

Also, for example, in a class that has more students with excellent academic ability than other classes, the answer time coefficient values for all subjects may be smaller than those of students in other classes. In such a case, the required homework time for each homework is shorter than that of the other classes, so the total homework required time is also shorter than that of the other classes. Therefore, the amount of homework for students in this class is smaller than the amount of homework for students in other classes.

In this way, the amount of homework in the present embodiment and the total homework required time, which is one of the criteria used to calculate the amount of homework, differ depending on the subjects that the students belonging to the class are good at and the academic ability of each student. In other words, the load in this embodiment and the criteria for calculating the load differ depending on the attributes of the students belonging to the class.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the teacher terminal 300 can display the amount of homework according to the attributes of the students belonging to the class.

Display columns 181 and 182 are provided in the homework list display column 162 . The display column 181 displays the total estimated homework time for each subject displayed in the display column 165 and the total required homework time for each day displayed in the display column 166 .

On the screen 161, the display field 181 displays 230 minutes associated with the estimated homework time and 230 minutes associated with the total required homework time. Therefore, according to the display in the display column 181, it is assumed that the time required for the students of Class 1-3 to finish all the already assigned homework is 230 minutes, and it takes 230 minutes to finish all the already assigned homework. It can be seen that the time is 230 minutes.

A display field 182 displays the amount of homework for one week. The amount of homework per week is the ratio of the total amount of time required for all homework for one week to the maximum time for one week. For example, if the maximum time in a day is 70 minutes, the maximum time for one week is 490 minutes, which is 7 times 70 minutes. Also, the total time required for all homework for one week is the total time required for all homework displayed in the display column 181 .

According to the display in the display column 182, it can be seen that the amount of homework for one week displayed on the screen 161 is 46.9%. In this way, in this embodiment, by displaying the amount of homework for one week (for a predetermined period), the teacher can grasp the magnitude of the load on a weekly basis.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a homework presentation confirmation screen according to the first embodiment. A screen 171 shown in FIG. 17 is an example of a confirmation screen displayed on the teacher terminal 300 in step S1107 of FIG.

A screen 171 includes a message 172 and operation buttons 173 and 174 . The message 172 is a message notifying the amount of homework on the day when the screen 161 was displayed. In the example of FIG. 17, the message 172 on the screen 161 notifies the amount of homework "92.9%" on Wednesday, which is the day when the screen 161 was displayed.

When the operation button 174 is operated on the screen 171, the assignment management processing unit 280 proceeds from step S1108 to step S1116.

FIG. 18 is a second diagram showing an example of the homework list screen according to the first embodiment. A screen 161A shown in FIG. 18 is an example of a homework list screen displayed on the teacher terminal 300 in step S1110 of FIG.

18, the homework list displayed on the teacher terminal 300 when the operation button 173 shown in FIG. 17 is operated to select to present the homework information selected on the screen 151 (see FIG. 15) as homework. showing the screen.

The homework information selected in FIG. 15 is the homework ID “S001”, and the homework submission deadline indicated by this homework information is set to the next Monday on the deadline setting screen (see FIG. 14). ing. Therefore, in the take-home learning database 260, the homework presentation ID "ST001" is given to the homework information indicated by the homework ID "S001", and the deadline is set to 4/24, which is the date corresponding to the next Monday. The take-home learning information is newly held.

On the screen 161A, an arrow 183 and an estimated daily homework time are displayed in the field of the subject "Japanese" based on the homework presentation ID "ST001" newly added to the screen 161 shown in FIG. 184 and an estimated homework time 185 are additionally displayed.

Here, the estimated homework time 185 of the newly added Japanese homework in the display column 165 is 180 minutes, and the estimated daily homework time 184 is 30 minutes.

Also, the take-home learning database 260 and the progress management database 270 are updated by adding the take-home learning information of the homework presentation ID "ST001".

Therefore, the daily total homework required time displayed in the display field 166 of the screen 161A and the amount of homework displayed in the display field 167 are both updated.

As a result, on the screen 161A, it can be seen that the amount of homework on Wednesday, the day on which the homework indicated by the homework presentation ID "ST001" was presented, is 135.7%, which is greater than or equal to the prescribed amount of 100%.

In the present embodiment, for example, in the display fields 166 and 167, the field of the day when the amount of homework was equal to or greater than the specified amount may be highlighted.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, by registering the content data, a plurality of teachers can share the content data and create homework information.

(Second embodiment)
A second embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a list of homework amounts for each student is displayed. Therefore, in the following description of the second embodiment, the differences from the first embodiment will be described. The same reference numerals as the used reference numerals are given, and the explanation thereof is omitted.

FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining the functions of the assignment management processing section of the second embodiment. The assignment management processing unit 280A of this embodiment includes an input reception unit 281, a timetable acquisition unit 282, a homework setting unit 283, a homework list acquisition unit 284, a progress update unit 285, a take-home learning update unit 286, a screen generation unit 287, and an amount of homework. It has a calculation unit 288 , a homework amount determination unit 289 , an output unit 290 , a homework registration unit 291 , and a progress list calculation unit 292 .

When the amount of homework on the homework presentation date is specified on the homework list screen, the progress list calculation unit 292 of the present embodiment refers to the take-home learning database 260 and the progress management database 270, and calculates all the homework for each student on the presentation date. Calculate the required time and the amount of homework for each student. The processing of the assignment management processing unit 280A of this embodiment will be described below. FIG. 22 is a flowchart for explaining the processing of the assignment management processing section of the second embodiment.

Since the processing from step S2201 to step S2206 in FIG. 22 is the same as the processing from step S1101 to step S1106 in FIG. 11, description thereof is omitted.

In step S2206, when the homework list screen is displayed on the teacher terminal 300, the assignment management processing unit 280A determines whether or not the input reception unit 281 has received a selection of the amount of homework for the presentation date (step S2207).
If the selection is not accepted in step S2207, the assignment management processing unit 280A proceeds to step S2209, which will be described later.

In step S2207, when the selection is accepted, the assignment management processing unit 280A causes the progress list calculation unit 292 to calculate a list of the total homework required time and amount of homework for each student on the specified presentation date, and A progress status list is displayed on the teacher terminal 300 (step S2208), and the process proceeds to step S2209. Details of the processing in step S2208 by the progress list calculation unit 292 will be described later.

Since the processing from step S2209 to step S2212 is the same as the processing from step S1107 to step S1110 in FIG. 11, description thereof is omitted.

Also, the processing in steps S2213 and S2214 is the same as the processing in steps S2207 and S2208, so the description thereof is omitted.

Also, the processing from step S2215 to step S2220 is the same as the processing from step S1111 to step S1117 in FIG. 11, so the description is omitted.

Next, with reference to FIG. 23, the process of displaying the progress status list screen by the progress list calculation unit 292 of the present embodiment will be described.

FIG. 23 is a flowchart for explaining the process of displaying the progress status list screen according to the second embodiment. FIG. 23 shows the details of the processing in steps S2208 and S2214 of FIG.

When the homework amount selection is received on the homework list screen, the assignment management processing unit 280A of the present embodiment causes the progress list calculation unit 292 to extract the student ID of the designated grade/class from the student database 240 (step S2301). ).

Subsequently, the progress list calculation unit 292 selects a student ID from the extracted student IDs (step S2302).

Subsequently, the progress list calculation unit 292 refers to the progress management database 270 associated with the selected student ID, and calculates the total required time for each problem corresponding to the extracted homework presentation ID as an individual required time. (step S2303). That is, in step S2303, the time required for the student indicated by the selected student ID to finish the homework that has already been assigned and has not been completed on the presentation date is calculated.

Subsequently, the progress list calculation unit 292 refers to the longest time database 250 and calculates the ratio of the individual required time to the longest time as the amount of individual homework (step S2304). That is, in step S2304, the student indicated by the selected student ID calculates the amount of homework that has already been assigned and has not been completed on the presentation date.

Subsequently, the progress list calculation unit 292 determines whether or not the processing of steps S2303 and S2304 has been performed for all student IDs included in the designated grade/class (step S2305).

In step S2305, if processing has not been performed for all applicable student IDs, the progress list calculation unit 292 selects the next student ID (step S2306), and returns to step S2303.

In step S2305, when processing has been performed for all applicable student IDs, the progress list calculation unit 292 divides the extracted student IDs into student IDs whose individual homework amount is equal to or greater than the prescribed amount, student IDs whose individual homework amount It is grouped into student IDs that are less than (step S2307).

Subsequently, the progress list calculation unit 292 generates data for displaying a list of the individual required time and the amount of individual homework for each group, outputs the data through the output unit 290 (step S2308), and ends the process.

A display example of the progress status list screen will be described below with reference to FIG. 24 . FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating an example of a progress status list screen according to the second embodiment. A screen 241 shown in FIG. 24 is an example of a progress list screen displayed on the teacher terminal 300 in steps S2208 and S2214 of FIG.

Further, the screen 241 of FIG. 24 is displayed when, for example, the display field 187 in which the amount of homework displayed is equal to or greater than the specified amount is selected on the screen 161A displayed on the teacher terminal 300 (see FIG. 18). It may be a screen displayed after transitioning from 161A.

The screen 241 has display fields 242 , 243 , 244 and 245 and an operation button 246 .

The display column 242 displays the content indicating that the display column 243 is a list of students whose individual homework amount is less than the specified amount. The display column 243 displays a list of the individual homework amount and the individual required time for each student included in the group whose individual homework amount is less than the specified amount.

The display column 244 displays the content indicating that the display column 245 is a list of students whose individual homework amount is equal to or greater than the specified amount. The display column 245 displays a list of individual homework amount and individual required time for each student included in the group whose individual homework amount is equal to or greater than the specified amount.

Thus, in this embodiment, the amount of individual homework and the individual required time for each student are displayed as the progress of homework for each student on the specified date (presentation date).

Further, when the operation button 246 is operated on the screen 241, the screen 241 on the teacher terminal 300 is switched to the screen 161A, which is the homework display screen.

In the screen 241, a display column 243 and a display column 245 display the student's name, grade/class, individual required time, answer time coefficient, and individual homework amount in association with each other.

In the example of FIG. 24, the individual required time displayed in the display field 247-1 of the display field 243 may be shorter than the individual required time displayed in the display field 247-2 of the display field 245. Recognize. Also, it can be seen that the amount of individual homework displayed in the display field 248-1 of the display field 243 is smaller than the amount of individual homework displayed in the display field 248-2 of the display field 245. FIG.

Therefore, according to the screen 241, it can be seen that in order to reduce the amount of homework for the entire class, the students whose names are displayed in the display column 245 should be instructed to work on their homework.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible for the teacher to easily grasp the student to be instructed to work on the homework.

Note that the display fields 243 and 245 of this embodiment may also display the grades of the students. In this case, the assignment management device 200 may store grade information indicating the student's grade.
