The program may also be stored in a recording medium. Using this recording medium, the program can be installed in a computer, for example. Here, the recording medium storing the program may be a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM.

In this embodiment, children or students at an educational institution such as a school are the learners, and homeroom teachers or teachers in charge of each subject act as instructors to provide learning guidance. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the learners may be, for example, students at a cram school, students taking a course, or individuals. Furthermore, the instructors may be the learners' parents, cram school teachers, private tutors, senior students, etc.

In this embodiment, learning content includes lessons, workbooks, reference books, textbooks, books, handouts, videos (including live and on-demand streaming), learning applications including e-learning, and videos and materials from school and cram school information sessions. In addition, content may be either digital or analog content, such as electronic media, paper media, and actual lessons.

Figure 1 shows a functional block diagram of the learning support system in this embodiment. The learning support system in this embodiment is embodied as learning support system 1. The learning support system 1 includes a learning support device 2 that manages and processes data related to learning content, a learner terminal 3 operated by a learner, and an instructor terminal 4 operated by an instructor, which are communicatively connected via a communication network NW. Note that while only one learner terminal 3 and one instructor terminal 4 are shown in Figure 1, there may be multiple learner terminals 3 and instructor terminals 4. The communication network NW is composed of an IP (Internet Protocol) network such as the Internet. Note that in the following explanation, the inclusion of the communication network NW will be omitted unless it is unclear.

The learning support device 2 includes, as functional components, a tag storage means 201 for storing data related to unit tags, a content data registration means 202 for accepting registration of data related to content, a distribution means 203 for distributing data related to content, a learning plan creation means 204 for creating a learning plan using data related to content, a learning history data storage means 205 for storing learning history data learned using content, a display processing means 206 for displaying a screen based on the data processing results, a user data storage means 207 for storing user data that stores data related to the user, a data acquisition means 208 for acquiring specific data, and a database DB.

In this embodiment, the database DB includes a tag DB that stores data related to tags, a content DB that stores data related to content, a learning plan DB that stores data related to learning plans, a learning history DB that stores data related to learning histories, and a user DB that stores data related to users who use the learning support system 1, including learners and instructors. Note that some or all of the above-mentioned databases may be placed outside the learning support device 2 and connected to the learning support device 2 by wired or wireless communication to use various data.

In this embodiment, the learning support system 1 has, as specific applications, functions such as creating management lists of various contents, e-learning, live and on-demand video distribution, question and answer tools, chat tools, schedulers, assignment/submission tools, evaluation tools, learning records, instruction records, test data records, and statistical data processing. For example, the content data registration means 202 creates management lists by storing the learner's behavioral history regarding the content in association with the content, and registers data regarding the content such as e-learning and live streaming videos together with the type of content and the distribution date and time. Also, for example, the learning plan creation means 204 functions as a scheduler, and the learning history data storage means 205 functions as a tool for executing learning records, instruction records, and statistical data processing.

The learning data used in these specific applications is assigned a common unit tag that is stored in the tag DB, and is aggregated and stored in the database DB. This allows the learning support system 1 to be realized as a platform that can aggregate, manage, and analyze learning data that was previously distributed across various applications and media using common tags.

The learner terminal 3 and instructor terminal 4 each have input means and output means, and input and output various data. The learner terminal 3 or instructor terminal 4 inputs data related to the content and stores it in the content DB. The registered content data is processed for display in the learning support device 2, and is displayed on a display unit by the output means of the learner terminal 3, for example. The learning support device 2 can accept data input related to the content from an external device (not shown) connected via the communication network NW, and store it in the content DB.

Figure 2 is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of the learning support device 2. The learning support device 2 includes a main memory device (RAM) 21, a calculation device (CPU) 22, an auxiliary memory device 23 such as a HDD, SSD, or flash memory, a communication interface (IF) unit 24 for communicating with external devices via a communication network NW, and a communication control unit 25 for controlling the communication. The auxiliary memory device 23 also stores an operating system (OS) 26, a learning support program 27 that works in conjunction with the operating system 26 to perform its functions, various information (including data), and the like.

The learner terminal 3 and the instructor terminal 4 may be general-purpose computers such as personal computers, smartphones, tablet terminals, etc., equipped with hardware components such as a calculation device such as a CPU, a main memory device such as a RAM, an auxiliary memory device such as a HDD, SSD, or flash memory, a means for connecting to the communication network NW, and various input/output devices including a display unit such as a display. The learner terminal 3 and the instructor terminal 4 can receive the display processing results of the various screens sent from the learning support device 2, and display the various screens on the display unit by processing based on the display processing results.

The tag storage means 201 accepts input of data related to tags in advance and stores the data in the tag DB. It is preferable that tags stored in the tag DB can be registered, changed, and deleted only by users with specified access rights. FIG. 3(a) shows an example of the data structure of subject tags related to learning subjects. FIG. 3(b) shows an example of the data structure of unit tags related to learning units into which subjects are subdivided. Unit tags may be classified into major unit tags, medium unit tags, and minor unit tags depending on the degree of subdivision. In this embodiment, data related to content, data related to learning plans, and data related to learning history are assigned unit tags and are stored in the database DB so that they can be compiled and managed by unit.

The tag storage means 201 also stores data on numerous tags, such as time tags, deadline tags, affiliation tags, and difficulty level tags, in the tag DB. The tag storage means 201 also stores tags related to user attributes, such as the status, inclinations, tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses of learners and instructors, in the tag DB. The various tags stored in the tag storage means 201 are attached to data related to content and data related to users, and are used for identifying, searching, filtering, and the like. The various tags may be classified into tags that can only be registered, changed, and deleted by users with specified access rights, and tags that can be registered, changed, and deleted by any user.

The content data registration means 202 accepts registration of data related to learning content associated with unit tags via the learner terminal 3, instructor terminal 4, and external device, and stores the data in the content DB. Furthermore, the data related to the content is not limited to learning content, and may include news, topics, and the like. Content is classified into digital content and analog content. The data related to the content is assigned a content ID for uniquely identifying each piece of data. The content data registration means 202 can associate the data related to the content with tags and various data stored in the tag DB as metadata and store the data in the content DB.

Digital content is stored in the content DB as video data, audio data, image data, text data, etc. Digital content may also be stored in a database of an external device, and the content DB may store data indicating the address of the digital content. The learner terminal 3 and the instructor terminal 4 can access the digital content stored in the database of the external device via the communication network NW by using the address of the digital content. The content data registration means 202 acquires tags stored in the tag DB, assigns one or more tags including at least a unit tag to the digital content or data indicating the address of the digital content, and stores it in the content DB. Note that various tags may be included in the file format of the digital content.

Analog content includes paper textbooks, workbooks, actual lessons, etc., and data indicating these analog contents is stored in the content DB. The data indicating the analog content is composed of a combination of tags stored in the tag DB and text data explaining the contents of the analog content. For example, if an elementary school math class is treated as analog content, the data indicating the analog content is composed of tags such as the affiliation tag "elementary school", the type tag "class", the subject tag "math", the unit tag "arithmetic operations", the date tag "May 10th", and the time tag "third period". Some of the tags may be composed of text data.

The data related to the content includes reference book data in which unit tags can be set on a page-by-page basis. For example, in the reference book data, unit tags are set on a page-by-page basis, such as the unit tag "Arithmetic Operations" on pages 1 to 6 and the unit tag "Divisors and Prime Numbers" on pages 7 to 11. The reference book data is stored in the content DB as, for example, electronic book data related to study reference books, workbooks, textbooks, etc. Note that when the reference book data is a paper reference book, the name of the reference book, pages by unit tag, etc. are stored as data, and the learner can check the units and pages displayed on the learner terminal 3 and study using the paper reference book.

The user data storage means 207 accepts input of data relating to users, including learners and instructors, and stores it in a user DB. Data relating to learner users includes profile information such as learner ID, age, grade, gender, place of residence, deviation score, learning orientation, personality, and preferred school, as well as affiliation information such as school name, class name, cram school name, and club name. These data may be input using various tags stored in the tag DB. Data relating to learner users is associated with data relating to the learner's instructor users, as well as learning plan data and learning history data, which will be described in detail later.

Next, the process of registering data related to content and the process of distributing data related to registered content will be explained using Figure 4.

Figure 4 (a) shows an example of the content registration screen W1 displayed on the instructor terminal 4. The content registration screen W1 includes a distribution destination addition section W11, a data input section W12, and a setting button W13. The content registration screen W1 is configured to be able to simultaneously accept input related to the registration of content and input related to the distribution of the registered content, but each input may also be accepted separately.

When the destination addition unit W11 is pressed, it transitions to a destination selection screen W2 for selecting a learner to whom data related to the content is to be delivered. FIG. 4(b) shows an example of the screen display of the destination selection screen W2. The filter W21 accepts the selection of the learner's affiliation, obtains data on the learner extracted based on the selected affiliation from the user DB, and displays it in the destination display selection unit W22. The destination display selection unit W22 displays data on the learner and accepts the selection of whether or not to add them as destinations. The destination display selection unit W22 is also configured to allow all displayed learners to be added as destinations all at once. When the selection completion button W23 is pressed, it sets the learner selected for addition in the destination display selection unit W22 as a destination. The destination is information that identifies the learner's terminal 3.

The data input unit W12 accepts input of data related to the content, tags corresponding to the content, and instruction data related to the instruction from the instructor to the learner. The data input unit W12 accepts data related to the content as an attachment. It can also accept the specification of content that has already been registered in the content DB. It can also accept the address of the content by text input.

The data input unit W12 accepts input of the title, type, date and time, deadline, subject, textbook, unit, estimated time, level, content, and the like as associated data associated with the content. In this embodiment, some data including the delivery destination, deadline, textbook, estimated time, level, and the like are classified as instruction data. In this embodiment, at least some of the data associated with the content corresponds to various tags stored in the tag DB. In this embodiment, the data input unit W12 does not require input of data for all items, but the input of the unit is required. When specifying registered content, it is preferable that some of the data associated with the content is automatically input. When the setting button W13 is pressed, the data input on the content registration screen W1 and the delivery destination selection screen W2 is transmitted to the learning support device 2. Note that the data may be transmitted directly to the delivery destination input via the delivery destination selection screen W2.

The content data registration means 202 acquires data input via the content registration screen W1, and stores data relating to the content associated with associated data including the unit tag in the content DB. Among the associated data associated with the data relating to the content, the instruction data is assigned an instructor ID.

The distribution means 203 distributes data relating to the content associated with the instruction data input via the instructor terminal 4 to the learner terminal 3 set as the distribution destination. The distributed data relating to the content can be accessed using the learner terminal 3. The distribution means 203 also accepts, via the learner terminal 3, a search instruction and a distribution instruction for data relating to the content registered in the content DB, and distributes the data relating to the searched content to the learner terminal 3.

The data related to the content to which the instruction data distributed by the distribution means 203 is associated is initially assigned a status of unapproved. When the data related to the content in the unapproved state is viewed or approved on the learner terminal 3, the status is changed to approved. Furthermore, the data related to the content in the approved state is used to create learning plan data on the learner terminal 3, and is changed to a status of created learning plan data. Furthermore, the status assigned to the data related to the content is changed to a status of completed when the learner terminal 3 accepts input of learning history data, which will be described later. The content data registration means 202 stores the above-mentioned statuses of unapproved, approved, created learning plan data, and completed as behavioral data of the learner with respect to the instruction data, in association with the data related to the content. When the status is changed to approved, the content data registration means 202 counts the number of views, and when the status is changed to completed, the content data registration means 202 counts the number of implementations, and stores them respectively.

The display processing means 206 processes and displays a distribution content list screen based on the associated data and behavioral data corresponding to the data related to the content. FIG. 5(a) shows an example of the display of the distribution content list screen on the instructor terminal 4. The distribution content list screen displays the distribution date, distribution time, deadline, content type, title, unit, number of shares, number of views, and implementation status for each content. The number of shares indicates the total number of learners set as the distribution destination. The number of views indicates the total number of viewers of the content. The implementation status indicates the total number of people who have studied using the content. By accepting the selection of content via the instructor terminal 4, the display processing means 206 processes and displays the implementation status list screen based on the behavioral data for each learner to whom the data related to the content was distributed (see FIG. 5(b)).

The content data registration means 202 generates lists by status according to the status assigned to the data related to the content. The display processing means 206 displays the data related to the content as different lists based on the lists generated by status, and transmits the display processing results to the learner terminal 3. The learner terminal 3 displays each list based on the display processing results.

The learning plan creation means 204 creates learning plan data including date and time using data related to the content distributed by the distribution means 203, and stores it in the learning plan DB. The learning plan creation means 204 accepts the selection of content displayed as a list via the learner terminal 3, and accepts the input, change, and deletion of data including date and time for the selected content. The learning plan creation means 204 may automatically create learning plan data according to data related to date and time or deadlines accompanying data related to the content. The learning plan data includes daily timetable data and data related to the content including date and time. The timetable data is further composed of free time data and planned time data. The learning plan creation means 204 determines whether learning plan data can be created based on the free time data and the data related to date and time.

The display processing means 206 processes and displays the learning plan screen W4 based on the learning plan data. The learner terminal 3 acquires the display processing result from the learning support device 2 and displays the learning plan screen W4 illustrated in FIG. 6. The learning plan screen W4 displays the learning plan for any period such as a month, week, or day, and accepts input regarding the addition, change, or deletion of content.

The learning plan screen W4 includes a learning plan display section W41, a learning plan creation section W42, and the like. Content C1 indicates content including data on date and time (learning plan data created state). Content C2 indicates content not including data on date and time (unapproved state or approved state). Contents C1 and C2 display content names, deadlines, units, and the like based on associated data stored in association with data on the content. Furthermore, the learning plan creation means 204 is configured to be able to accept input, change, and deletion of data on date and time for contents C1 and C2 via the learning plan screen W4. Furthermore, the learning plan creation section W42 stores new learning plan data in the learning plan DB by accepting input of data on content type and date and time from new schedule C3.

The learning history data storage means 205 accepts input of learning history data using data related to the content via the learner terminal 3, and stores it in the learning history DB. The learning history data includes the learner's user ID, content ID, learning date and time, implementation status, level of understanding, attached files, learning time, question answers, number of implemented contents, number of planned contents, etc. The learning history data is tallied as a cumulative total of the level of understanding, learning time, and number of implemented contents, but may also be tallied by subject or unit. In this embodiment, the learning history data is directly input by the learner, but for example, when digital content is used, the learning time and level of understanding can be automatically input based on the answer time and answer result. For example, if the answer result is a predetermined correct answer rate or higher, the learning history data storage means 205 judges the level of understanding to be acceptable, and if the correct answer rate is lower than the predetermined correct answer rate, judges it to be unacceptable, and stores it in the learning history DB. Note that a numerical value indicating the level of understanding may be calculated based on the correct answer rate and stored in the learning history DB.

In this embodiment, the learning history data storage means 205 stores data on scores on mock exams and past entrance exam questions in the learning history DB. Learners take mock exams at various examination institutions, and data on their scores is stored in a database managed by the examination institutions. As data on scores, the learner's user ID and answer results for each question are stored in association with each other. In addition, questions are tagged with unit tags. The learning history data storage means 205 retrieves data on scores from the examination institution's database periodically or in response to instructions from the administrator. The data on scores stored in the learning history DB is reflected in the level of understanding for each unit of the learning history data.

The content data registration means 202 stores the instruction data and the learner's behavioral data in response to the instruction data in association with data related to the content. The behavioral data includes the status of the unapproved state, the approved state, the created state of the learning plan data, and the implemented state, as well as any data such as the level of understanding, attachments, and learning time in the learning history data.

The display processing means 206 judges whether the content has been viewed (assignment confirmation), whether it has been registered in the calendar, and whether it has been implemented (implementation status) based on the behavioral data of each learner to whom the content-related data is delivered. The display processing means 206 judges that the content has been viewed in the case of the approved state, the created state of the learning plan data, and the implemented state, judges that the content has been registered in the calendar if there is a history of the status of the learning plan data being changed to the created state, and judges that the content has been implemented in the case of the implemented state. The display processing means 206 displays the implementation status list screen shown in FIG. 5(b) based on the above-mentioned judgment result, and transmits the display processing result to the instructor terminal 4, which is the distribution source. As a result, for example, an instructor can use the implementation status list screen to grasp the implementation status of each learner for the content delivered as an assignment.

The instructor terminal 4 displays behavioral data for each distributed content and for each learner to whom the content was distributed. The behavioral data for each content indicates, for example, aggregated results such as the number of distributions, number of views, and number of implementations. The behavioral data for each learner indicates the behavioral status for each learner, such as the approval status of the content, unapproved status, whether the learning plan data has been created, learning time, level of understanding, and attachments. This allows the instructor to grasp, for example, the implementation status of the content distributed as an assignment for each learner.

The display processing means 206 processes and displays the learning history screen W5 based on the learning history data of each individual learner. The display processing result is sent to the learner terminal 3 or the instructor terminal 4 registered as the instructor, and the learning history screen W5 is displayed. FIG. 7 shows an example of the screen display of the learning history screen W5. In this embodiment, the learning history is displayed by a cumulative total of all learning history data and a cumulative total by subject tag and unit tag. The learning history may also be displayed by the results of compilation by any period. The display processing means 206 displays, for example, the level of understanding and learning time by unit tag using numerical values or graphs. Furthermore, units with insufficient level of understanding or learning time are highlighted and displayed. This allows the learner to understand the learning priority and continue learning.

An embodiment in which learning plan data is created using reference book data will be described. FIG. 4(c) shows an example of a screen display of the content registration screen W3 displayed on the learner terminal 3. The content registration screen W3 includes a reference book data display selection unit W31 and a setting button W32. Note that the description of the parts overlapping with the content registration screen W1 will be omitted. The reference book data display selection unit W31 accepts the selection of any reference book from the reference book data stored in the content DB. The reference book data display selection unit W31 displays the corresponding page by unit tag based on the reference book data related to the selected reference book. In addition, the learning priority is calculated based on the understanding level by unit, the learning time, the number of implemented contents, etc. in the learning history data, and is displayed in parallel on the page. The reference book data display selection unit W31 accepts the selection of a page of any reference book. The setting button W32 transmits the information input via the content registration screen W3 to the learning support device 2 when pressed. The study plan creation means 204 creates study plan data including the date and time using the pages of the reference book entered via the content registration screen W3, and stores the data in the study plan DB.

When an attachment is input via the content registration screen W3, the content data registration means 202 stores data related to the content in the content DB. This allows the content stored in the content DB to be shared between learners.

In this embodiment, data related to the content includes information session data. Information sessions are held at schools or cram schools for the purpose of recruiting applicants. The information session data is stored in association with information about the organizer of the information session. The information about the organizer is the name of the school or the name of the cram school, and corresponds to information about the affiliation of the learners stored in the user DB. For example, a school that holds a information session and a learner who is a current student or graduate of the school that holds the information session are associated by a common school name.

The data acquisition means 208 acquires learning history data of the learner having information about the organizer and information about a common affiliation. The data acquisition means 208 acquires data about the content used by the learner for learning based on the acquired learning history data. The data acquisition means 208 is preferably configured to acquire data about the content used by the learner for learning during a specific period of time. For example, in the case of junior high school information session data, the data acquisition means 208 is preferably configured to acquire only data about the content used by the learner during the period before entering junior high school. The data about the content acquired by the data acquisition means 208 is stored in the content DB in association with the information session data.

The distribution means 203 distributes information session data associated with data related to the content acquired by the data acquisition means 208. Learners can search for information sessions and receive information session data by, for example, entering the name of a school via the learner terminal 3. Furthermore, learners can study using the data related to the content associated with the information session data. This allows them to efficiently acquire content used by current students and graduates for study, and use it as a guide for studying for entrance exams to their preferred schools.

The distribution means 203 may be configured to receive information including the school name input via the learner terminal 3, and distribute data related to the content acquired by the data acquisition means 208 described above to the learner terminal 3.

The data acquisition means 208 generates a roadmap based on the data on users for each learner and the learning history data. FIG. 8 shows an example of a roadmap. The roadmap is a diagram in which the contents used in the learner's study, the learner's affiliation, the learner's personality, and the learning tendency are arranged in chronological order. The data acquisition means 208 accepts input of information including the name of the school input via the learner terminal 3, thereby acquiring roadmaps of current students and graduates of the school, and transmits them to the learner terminal 3. At this time, the data acquisition means 208 acquires roadmaps of current students or graduates who have a certain amount of data in common with the roadmap of the learner of the learner terminal 3 into which the school name was input, and transmits them to the learner terminal 3.
