Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a system and a program for displaying the progress of a learner's study plan. [Background technology]

[0002] A learning support system is known in the art (see Patent Document 1). According to the technology of Patent Document 1, the learning progress of a learner can be displayed in the form of a radar chart. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2019-113865 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] FIG. 1 shows an example of a learner's learning progress displayed as a radar chart using technology such as that in Patent Document 1. Multiple study subjects are classified into each of the fields A to S. The left is an example of a conventional radar chart showing the progress rate of learning in the later stage, and the right is an example of an earlier stage. As shown in FIG. 1, in the later stage, the portion displayed by the radar chart is large, occupying most of the display area, making it easy for the user of the learning support system (e.g., the learner or the learning administrator; the same applies below) to recognize a sense of achievement in learning.

[0005] On the other hand, in the early stages when only a few subjects have been completed, if the total number of subjects to be studied is large, as in this example, the portion displayed on the radar chart is small, making it difficult for the user to recognize a sense of accomplishment that their studies are progressing.

[0006] When displaying the progress rate of learning using the conventional display method in this way, there is an issue that, for example, when there are many subjects to study, it is difficult for the user to recognize a sense of accomplishment until the learning progresses to the later stages, i.e., in the early to middle stages of learning.

[0007] In addition, since users vary in their level of expertise in operating computer systems, there is a demand for a mechanism that allows even users who are not skilled in operating computer systems to operate them intuitively.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a learning progress display system and a learning progress display program that can allow a user to recognize a sense of accomplishment in their learning, regardless of the progress of their study plan, through intuitive operations. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In view of the above problems, the learning progress display system of the present invention is A system for displaying the progress of a learner's learning plan, The present invention comprises a display element for displaying information, a storage element for storing information, and an information processing element for processing information, the storage element stores learning progress information in which learning item identification information identifying each of a plurality of learning items to be studied by the learner during a study period, a score value to be given when the learner completes the study of each of the learning items, deadline information indicating a time when the learner should complete the study of each of the learning items, and completion information indicating a time when the learner completes the study of each of the learning items are associated with each other; The information processing element includes: a two-dimensional coordinate system is displayed on the display element, the first axis being a time axis from the start point to the end point of the learning period, and the second axis being an axis showing the actual score given by the learner for completing the learning of the learning item by each time point, or the planned score to be given if the learner completes the learning of the learning item that should be completed by each time point; a band-like display that is arranged to extend from the end of the two-dimensional coordinate system on the end time point side toward the end of the two-dimensional coordinate system on the start time point side, with the length of the band-like display indicating the amount of the actual score that has been given to the learner up to each time point based on the end information for the period before the processing time point, and indicating the amount of the planned score for each time point for the period after the processing time point; displaying a first icon at the position of the processing time so as to straddle the strip display in the second axis direction; displaying a second icon movable in the first axis direction at a position between the first icon and an end portion of the two-dimensional coordinate system on the end time point side so as to straddle the band-like display in the second axis direction; when an operation to move the position of the second icon is received, the expected score at a time point corresponding to the position after the second icon is moved is recognized based on the time limit information; A ratio display showing the ratio of the actual score to the planned score recognized according to the position of the second icon is displayed together with the two-dimensional coordinate system.

[0010] According to the present invention, a percentage display showing the ratio of the actual score awarded up to the time of processing to the planned score that will be awarded if the learner completes the learning items that the learner should have completed by any given time can be displayed in response to user operation, making it possible to allow the user to recognize a sense of accomplishment in learning not only in the later stages of learning but also in the early stages of learning.

[0011] The length of the band in the second axis direction indicates the amount of the actual score or the planned score at each point in time, and the first icon and the second icon are displayed so as to straddle the band in the second axis direction.

[0012] This allows the user to see the length in the second axis direction of the portion where the first icon and the second icon overlap across the strip display, allowing the user to move the position of the second icon while recognizing the approximate values ​​of the actual score at the time of processing and the planned score corresponding to the position to which the second icon is to be moved.

[0013] Furthermore, the operation of this system is simple since it can be performed simply by moving the second icon on the strip. For these reasons, the operation to display the ratio display can be performed intuitively.

[0014] In this way, the learning progress display system of the present invention allows the user to recognize a sense of accomplishment in learning through intuitive operations, regardless of the progress of the learning plan.

[0015] In the present invention, The information processing element includes: When an operation to move the position of the second icon is received, a length of the strip between the first icon and the second icon in the first axis direction is changed so as to follow the length of the second icon; and It is preferable that the length in the first axis direction of the band-like display between the second icon and the end portion on the end time point side is changed so as to follow the second icon.

[0016] According to the present invention, when an operation to move the position of the second icon is received, the length in the first axial direction of the strip display between the first icon and the second icon and the length in the first axial direction of the strip display between the second icon and the end on the end time side are displayed by changing so as to follow the operation to move the position of the second icon.

[0017] This allows the user to intuitively recognize how densely they should complete the study of scheduled subjects if they are trying to obtain the planned score that should be awarded by completing the study from the time of processing to the time corresponding to the position of the second icon before the move, by the time corresponding to the position of the second icon after the move.

[0018] In the present invention, the learning item identification information is stored in the learning progress information in association with classification identification information that identifies a classification of the learning item; The information processing element includes: the band-like display for each of the categories is arranged in the two-dimensional coordinate system so as to be aligned in the second axis direction, and the length in the second axis direction indicates the amount of the actual score for each of the categories that has been given to the learner up to each time point based on the completion information before the processing time point, and indicates the amount of the planned score for each of the categories at each time point after the processing time point; displaying the first icon and the second icon so as to straddle the second axial direction from the stripe display arranged at one end side in the second axial direction to the stripe display arranged at the other end side; when an operation to move the position of the second icon is received, the estimated score for each category at a time point corresponding to the position of the second icon after the movement is recognized; It is preferable that the ratio display is displayed together with the two-dimensional coordinate system so as to indicate the ratio of the actual score for each of the categories to the planned score for each of the categories recognized according to the position of the second icon.

[0019] According to the present invention, the study subjects are categorized and the bands are arranged and displayed by category. By viewing the length in the second axis direction for each category of the portion where the first icon and the second icon overlap across the band, the user can move the position of the second icon while recognizing the approximate values ​​for each category of the actual score at the time of processing and the expected score corresponding to the destination position of the second icon.

[0020] Furthermore, the progress rate for each category is also displayed in the percentage display, so that the user can recognize the progress rate of learning for each category.

[0021] Even when the study items are categorized in this way, the intuitive operability is not lost and the user can feel a sense of accomplishment in their studies regardless of the progress of their study plan.

[0022] In the present invention, The information processing element includes: Displaying the first icon so as to be movable in the first axis direction; when an operation to move the position of the first icon is received, the actual score given to the learner up to a time point corresponding to the position after the first icon is moved or the planned score at that time point is recognized as a provisional score; It is preferable that the ratio display is displayed together with the two-dimensional coordinate system so as to indicate the ratio of the provisional score to the planned score recognized according to the position of the second icon.

[0023] According to the present invention, in addition to the second icon, the first icon can also be moved. Therefore, in response to the operation, a percentage display can be displayed showing the percentage of a provisional score at an arbitrary time point inputted by the first icon to a planned score to be given if the learner finishes the study of the study item that the learner should finish by the arbitrary time point inputted by the second icon, so that the user can recognize the progress rate of the study at various combinations of times.

[0024] Furthermore, the operation of this system is simple since it can be performed simply by moving the first icon and the second icon on the strip.

[0025] In this way, the learning progress display system of the present invention can allow the user to recognize a sense of accomplishment in learning regardless of the progress of the learning plan, without compromising intuitive operability, and can also recognize the progress rate of learning for a combination of various points in time.

[0026] The learning progress display program of the present invention comprises: A program for causing a computer having a display element for displaying information, a storage element for storing information, and an information processing element for processing information to execute a process for displaying a progress status of a learner's learning plan, comprising: storing in the storage element learning progress information recorded in association with learning item identification information identifying each of a plurality of learning items to be studied by the learner during a study period, a score value to be given when the learner completes the study of each of the learning items, deadline information indicating a time when the learner should complete the study of each of the learning items, and completion information indicating a time when the learner completes the study of each of the learning items; a two-dimensional coordinate system is displayed on the display element, the first axis being a time axis from the start point to the end point of the learning period, and the second axis being an axis showing the actual score given by the learner for completing the learning of the learning item by each time point, or the planned score to be given if the learner completes the learning item that should be completed by each time point; a band-like display that is arranged to extend from the end of the two-dimensional coordinate system on the end time point side toward the end of the two-dimensional coordinate system on the start time point side, with the length of the band-like display indicating the amount of the actual score that has been given to the learner up to each time point based on the end information for the period before the processing time point, and indicating the amount of the planned score for each time point for the period after the processing time point; displaying a first icon at the position of the processing time so as to straddle the strip display in the second axis direction; displaying a second icon movable in the first axis direction at a position between the first icon and an end portion of the two-dimensional coordinate system on the end time point side so as to straddle the band-like display in the second axis direction; when an operation to move the position of the second icon is received, the expected score at a time point corresponding to the position after the second icon is moved is recognized; A ratio display showing the ratio of the actual score to the planned score recognized according to the position of the second icon is displayed together with the two-dimensional coordinate system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0028] <Configuration of learning progress display system> First, the configuration of the learning progress display system of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 2 and 3. Note that the same components are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof may be omitted.

[0029] The learning progress display system of this embodiment is a system in which a computer comprising a display element 10, a memory element 30, an information processing element 50, and an input element 70 reads the learning progress display program of the present invention and executes the necessary processing to display the progress of a learner's learning plan.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the learning progress display system functions as a learning progress display system in cooperation with a terminal 1 operated by a user of the system, such as a learner or a learning administrator, and a server 3 connected via a communication network 5.

[0031] Terminal 1 may be, for example, a personal computer, a tablet terminal, or a smartphone, and is equipped with a display element 10 and an input element 70, as well as a processor for performing the necessary processing by terminal 1, and a memory mechanism for storing information necessary for processing, etc. (none of which are shown in the figure).

[0032] The display element 10 is a display that displays information to a user. The input element 70 is a device that accepts input from a user, such as a touch panel, a mouse or other pointing device, or a keyboard.

[0033] The server 3 includes a storage element 30 and an information processing element 50. The server 3 may be configured with a plurality of computers connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0034] The storage element 30 is composed of a storage mechanism such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), etc. The storage element 30 stores the learning progress information 310, as well as the processing results of the learning progress display system and information used for processing.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3, the learning progress information 310 records, in association with each other, learning item identification information (learning item ID) that identifies each of the multiple learning items that the learner should study during the study period, the score value that will be assigned when the learner completes the study of each of the learning items, deadline information indicating the time when the learner should complete the study of each learning item, and completion information indicating the time when the learner has completed the study of each learning item.

[0036] "Completing the study of a subject" means, for example, finishing solving a problem associated with the subject, solving the problem and getting the correct answer, solving the problem and obtaining a passing grade, or completing a lecture associated with the subject.

[0037] The "score value" may be set appropriately for each learning item, i.e., depending on, for example, the difficulty of the learning item, the time required, and other factors. Alternatively, for example, all the score values ​​may be the same value, i.e., "1." In this case, the "score value" is synonymous with the "number of subjects."

[0038] 3, information for identifying a learner (learner ID) and classification identification information (classification ID) for identifying a classification of a learning item may be further associated and stored in the learning progress information 310. As shown in the first and second data in FIG. 3, one learning item identification information (learning item ID) may be associated with multiple classification identification information (classification IDs). In this case, the score values ​​assigned according to the associated classification IDs may be different or the same, such as a score of "1" for classification ID "a" and a score of "3" for classification ID "b."

[0039] The information processing element 50 is a so-called processor that is composed of an arithmetic processing device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory, an I / O (Input / Output) device, etc. The information processing element 50 reads and executes the learning progress display program of the present invention, thereby executing the processing required to display the progress of the learner's learning plan.

[0040] <Processing Overview> Next, the processing contents of the learning progress display system and the learning progress display program of this embodiment will be described. A series of processing by the learning progress display system and the learning progress display program will be described with reference to Figs.

[0041] In the following, an embodiment will be described in which strip displays 115 for each classification of learning items are displayed aligned along the second axis in a two-dimensional coordinate system, and a percentage display 130 showing the progress of learning is displayed as a radar chart showing the progress rate for each classification.

[0042] The learning progress display system and learning progress display program of this embodiment start processing by starting an application for using the functions of the learning progress display system on the terminal 1, for example.

[0043] When the process starts, the information processing element 50 displays a two-dimensional coordinate system 110 on the display element 10 (FIG. 4 / S10). As shown in FIG. 5, the two axes of the two-dimensional coordinate system 110 are, for example, a first axis 111, which is the horizontal axis, which is a time axis from the start point to the end point of the learning period, and a second axis 113, which is the vertical axis, which is an axis indicating the actual score given by the learner having completed the learning of the learning items by each time point, or the planned score to be given if the learner has completed the learning of the learning items that should be completed by each time point.

[0044] The information processing element 50 then displays the strip display 115 on the display element 10 (FIG. 4 / S30). To this end, the information processing element 50 refers to the learning progress information 310 stored in the storage element 30, and recognizes the actual score value that has been given when the learner has completed the learning of the learning item at each time point up to the processing time point t1, and the planned score value that will be given if the learner completes the learning of the learning item that he or she should have completed by each time point after the processing time point t1 (FIG. 6 / S31). The processing time point t1 is, for example, the date on which the processing is being performed (in this embodiment, 2023 / 7 / 31).

[0045] The information processing element 50 extracts from the learning progress information 310, among the learning items associated with the learner's learner ID, those for which completion information is stored, and totals the score values ​​associated with the extracted learning subjects by category according to the unit of the time axis of the two-dimensional coordinate system 110 (for example, by day, week, month, etc. The unit may be appropriately selected and adopted; the same applies below), thereby recognizing the actual score values ​​for each category that were assigned when the learner completed the study of the learning items at each point in time up to the processing time t1.

[0046] The information processing element 50 also refers to the learning progress information 310 and aggregates the score values ​​associated with the learning items associated with the learner's learner ID by category according to the unit of the time axis of the two-dimensional coordinate system 110, thereby recognizing the planned score values ​​for each category that will be assigned if the learner completes the learning items that he or she is supposed to complete by each time point after the processing time point t1.

[0047] Based on the values ​​thus recognized, the information processing element 50 generates a band-like display 115 for each category to be displayed in the two-dimensional coordinate system 110 (FIG. 6 / S33). Fig. 7 is an enlarged view of one of the band-like displays 115. For the portion before processing time t1, i.e., the left portion including processing time t1 in Fig. 7, the information processing element 50 generates the band-like display 115 based on the value of the achievement score for each category that was assigned when the learner finished learning the learning item at each time point, as recognized above.

[0048] More specifically, for example, if the value of the performance score at processing time t1 is "8", the information processing element 50 generates a band-shaped display 115 so that the length L1 in the second axial direction of the band-shaped display 115, which corresponds to the position of processing time t1, is the length that indicates "8" in the two-dimensional coordinate 110.

[0049] In addition, for the portion after processing time t1, i.e., the portion to the right of processing time t1 in Figure 7, the information processing element 50 generates a band-shaped display 115 for each category based on the value of the planned score for each category that will be assigned if the learner completes the learning items that he or she should complete by each time point, as recognized above.

[0050] More specifically, for example, if the planned score value for each category to be assigned when a learner finishes learning a learning item that he or she should finish learning at time t2 (e.g., January 31, 2024) is "14," information processing element 50 generates strip display 115 so that length L2 of strip display 115 in the second axis direction corresponding to the position of time t2 is the length that indicates "14" in two-dimensional coordinate 110.

[0051] By generating the band-like display 115 in this manner, the band-like display 115 is arranged to extend from the end of the two-dimensional coordinate system 110 on the end time point side (right side in FIG. 5) to the end of the two-dimensional coordinate system 110 on the start time point side (left side in FIG. 5), and its length in the second axis direction (up and down direction in FIG. 5) indicates the amount of the actual score given to the learner up to each time point based on the end information before the processing time point t1, and indicates the amount of the planned score at each time point after the processing time. Therefore, the length of the band-like display 115 in the second axis direction becomes longer (i.e. the width of the band becomes wider) from the start time point side to the end time point side.

[0052] 5 and 7, when a perpendicular line is drawn from a vertex on the start time side of the strip 115 to a base on the end time side, the information processing element 50 generates the strip 115 so that the strips are symmetrical with respect to the perpendicular line. Also, each strip 115 is arranged with a predetermined gap between it and the adjacent strip 115 so that they do not overlap.

[0053] Furthermore, the information processing element 50 causes the display element 10 to display a first icon 121 and a second icon 123 (FIG. 4 / S50). The first icon 121 and the second icon 123 are displayed in a line or bar shape parallel to the second axis 113 as shown in FIG. 5, for example, but various shapes may be adopted as long as the visibility of the length in the second axis direction for each classification of the portion where the first icon 121 and the second icon 123 overlap across the band-like display 115 is not impaired.

[0054] The first icon 121 is displayed at the position of the processing time t1 so as to straddle the strip 115 in the second axis direction. The second icon 123 is displayed at an arbitrary position between the first icon 121 and the end of the two-dimensional coordinate system 110 on the end time side (the right side in FIG. 5) so as to straddle the strip in the second axis direction. The second icon 123 is displayed as an icon that can move in the first axis direction on the strip. The initial display position of the second icon 123 may be appropriately determined by a predetermined algorithm, or may be specified in advance by the user and stored in the storage element 30.

[0055] In this embodiment, in which a band-like display 115 for each classification is displayed, the information processing element 50 displays the first icon 121 and the second icon 123 so as to straddle the second axis direction from the band-like display 115 arranged at one end side in the second axis direction (e.g., the upper side of Figure 5) to the band-like display 115 arranged at the other end side (e.g., the lower side of Figure 5).

[0056] Then, when the information processing element 50 receives an operation by the user to move the position of the second icon 123 on the input element 70 of the terminal 1 (FIG. 4 / S70: Yes), the information processing element 50 recognizes the estimated score for each category at the time corresponding to the moved position of the second icon 123 based on the deadline information (FIG. 4 / S90).

[0057] An "operation to move the position of the second icon 123" is an operation to slide the displayed second icon 123 in the first axis direction, for example, an operation in which the user touches the position on the touch panel where the second icon 123 is displayed, swipes, and then releases the touch, or an operation in which the user selects the second icon 123 via a pointing device such as a mouse, drags it, and then releases the selection.

[0058] On the other hand, while the information processing element 50 does not determine that an operation to move the position of the second icon 123 has been accepted (FIG. 4 / S70: No), it repeatedly determines whether or not an operation to move the position of the second icon 123 has been accepted, and waits for the operation by the user.

[0059] As a specific example of a method for the information processing element 50 to recognize the planned score for each classification at the time corresponding to the position of the second icon, a case will be described in which the position after the second icon 123 is moved is the position of time t2 in Figure 7, and the length L2 in the second axis direction of the band display 115 for classification a, which corresponds to the position of time t2, is the length that indicates "14" in the two-dimensional coordinate 110.

[0060] That is, for example, when the information processing element 50 generates the band-like display 115 (FIG. 6 / S33), it stores the expected score values ​​for each category at each time point including the time point t2 as a reference table as shown in FIG.

[0061] Then, when the information processing element 50 receives an operation to move the position of the second icon 123, it recognizes that time point t2 has been specified by the user based on the position of the second icon 123 after it has been moved, and by referring to the above-mentioned reference table, recognizes that the planned score value of category a at time point t2 is "14." The information processing element 50 executes such processing for each category, thereby recognizing the planned score value for each category at time point t2.

[0062] Alternatively, for example, a correspondence table or function indicating the correspondence between the length of the band display 115 in the second axis direction for each category at each time point and the value of the predetermined score for each category is stored in advance in the storage element 30.

[0063] The information processing element 50 may be configured, when receiving an operation to move the position of the second icon 123, to recognize the length of the second axis direction of the strip display 115 of each classification at the position after the second icon 123 is moved using a predetermined method, and to recognize the value of the planned score for each classification corresponding to the recognized length of the strip display 115 of each classification in the second axis direction using the above-mentioned correspondence table or function.

[0064] The information processing element 50 then displays on the display element 10 a ratio display 130 indicating the ratio of the actual score to the planned score for each category recognized according to the position of the second icon 123 as described above, together with the two-dimensional coordinate system 110 (Figure 4 / S110).

[0065] 8, the information processing element 50 recognizes that the value of the actual score of category a at processing time t1 is "8." Since the planned score value of category a recognized in accordance with the position of the second icon 123 above (i.e., the planned score value of category a at time t2) is "14," the information processing element 50 calculates "8÷14=0.57" and recognizes that the ratio of the actual score of category a at processing time t1 to the planned score of category a recognized in accordance with the position of the second icon is "0.57." The information processing element 50 recognizes the ratio for each category by performing such processing for each category.

[0066] Based on the percentage values ​​for each category thus recognized, the information processing element 50 generates a radar chart as shown on the left side of Fig. 5 as a percentage display 130, and displays it on the display element 10 together with the two-dimensional coordinate system 110. Fig. 5 shows a state in which a second percentage display 150 indicating the percentage of the actual score at the processing time t1 relative to the score (final score) to be awarded to the learner by the end of the learning period is also displayed as shown on the right side. Note that as shown in Fig. 5, a radar chart (represented by a dashed line) indicating the percentage of the expected score recognized according to the position of the second icon 123 relative to the final score may also be displayed in the second percentage display 150.

[0067] The display of the second percentage display 150 may be omitted, but as can be seen by comparing the percentage display 130 with the second percentage display 150, the percentage display 130 displayed in the present invention has a large portion displayed as a radar chart even at the processing time t1, which is the initial stage of learning, and can allow the user to intuitively recognize the sense of accomplishment of learning up to that point. Alternatively, for example, a radar chart showing the ratio of the actual score at the processing time t1 to the planned score recognized according to the position of the second icon 123 may be displayed together in the second percentage display 150, similar to the percentage display 130.

[0068] The display method of the ratio display 130 and the second ratio display 150 is not limited to a radar chart, and various graphs capable of visually showing the ratios, such as a bar graph, a pie chart, etc., may be appropriately selected. Alternatively, for example, the ratio display 130 and the second ratio display 150 may display a character string indicating the ratio of the actual score for each classification to the planned score (e.g., "Classification A: 57%").

[0069] Thereafter, the information processing element 50 repeatedly executes the processes of FIG. 4 / S70 to S110 while it is not determined that an operation to end the display by the user has been received (FIG. 4 / S130: No). On the other hand, when an operation to end the display by the user has been received (FIG. 4 / S130: Yes), the information processing element 50 ends the series of processes of the present invention. <Other embodiments> Modified embodiments of the present invention will now be described.

[0070] First modified embodiment A first modified embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In this embodiment, the information processing element 50 further has a function of performing processing to change and display the length in the first axis direction of the band-like display 115 between the first icon 121 and the second icon 123 and between the second icon 123 and the end portion on the end time point side so as to follow the second icon 123, when an operation to move the position of the second icon 123 is accepted.

[0071] Whether or not to operate to perform the processing of this modified embodiment is determined by the information processing element 50, for example, by receiving an instruction operation to switch the operation mode from a user. That is, for example, the information processing element 50 is configured to display a button for switching the operation mode on the display, and to perform the following processing when an operation to move the position of the second icon is received after the button is pressed. Then, when the button is pressed again, the switching of the operation mode is released, and the state returns to the operation in the operation mode described above with reference to FIG. 4.

[0072] Fig. 9 shows the display process in this modified embodiment. Note that the first icon 121 and the second icon 123 are omitted in Fig. 9. The upper diagram shows the time point when the operation of moving the second icon 123 is started, with the first icon 121 being placed at the position of processing time point t1 and the second icon being placed at the position of time point t2.

[0073] At this time, the length in the second axis direction of the overlapping portion between the first icon 121 and the strip-like display 115 is L1, the length in the second axis direction of the overlapping portion between the second icon 123 and the strip-like display 115 is L2, and the length in the first axis direction between the first icon 121 and the second icon 123 of the strip-like display 115 is L3.

[0074] 9 shows a state in which the second icon 123 has been moved to a position at time t3. At this time, the information processing element 50 maintains the length in the second axis direction of the overlapping portion between the first icon 121 and the strip-like display 115 as L1, and also maintains the length in the second axis direction of the overlapping portion between the second icon 123 and the strip-like display 115 as L2, while changing and displaying the length in the first axis direction of the strip-like display 115 between the first icon 121 and the second icon 123 so that it is shortened by the length L4 by which the second icon 123 has moved.

[0075] Furthermore, the information processing element 50 maintains the length in the second axis direction of the overlapping portion of the second icon 123 and the strip display 115 between the second icon 123 and the end on the end time side as L2, and also maintains the length in the second axis direction of the strip display 115 at the end on the end time side (not shown in Figure 9), while changing and displaying the length in the first axis direction of the strip display 115 between the second icon 123 and the end on the end time side so that it is longer by the length L4 that the second icon 123 has moved.

[0076] By changing the display of the band-like display 115 in this manner, the information processing element 50 changes and displays the length of the band-like display 115 in the first axis direction between the first icon 121 and the second icon 123 so as to follow the second icon 123, and also changes and displays the length of the band-like display 115 in the first axis direction between the second icon 123 and the end portion on the end time point side so as to follow the second icon 123. As a result, to the user, the band-like display 115 between the first icon 121 and the second icon 123 shrinks by the amount that the second icon 123 is moved (or stretches, if the second icon 123 is moved in the opposite direction to the above example), and it appears that the band-like display 115 between the second icon 123 and the end portion on the end time point side has stretched (or shrunk). In addition, the gradient of the side of the band display 115 located between the processing time t1 and the position of the second icon 123 changes suddenly when the second icon 123 is moved closer to the processing time t1, and changes gradually when the second icon 123 is moved away from the processing time t1.

[0077] Second Modified Embodiment A second modified embodiment of the present invention will be described below. The processes other than S75, S83, and S115 in Fig. 10 are the same as those described with reference to Fig. 4, and therefore will not be described. In this embodiment, the first icon 121 is also displayed so as to be movable in the first axis direction.

[0078] Then, when an operation to move the position of the first icon 121 or the second icon 123 is received on the input element 70 of the terminal 1 (FIG. 10 / S75: Yes), the information processing element 50 recognizes the actual score awarded to the learner up to the point corresponding to the position after the movement of the first icon 121 or the value of the planned score at that point in time as a provisional score (FIG. 10 / S83).

[0079] That is, for example, when the first icon 121 is moved to a position corresponding to a time point prior to processing time t1, the information processing element 50 refers to a reference table such as that shown in FIG. 8 to obtain the performance score value for each field at the time point corresponding to the position after the move, and recognizes the obtained value as a provisional score for each category.

[0080] Alternatively, when the first icon 121 is moved to a position corresponding to a time point after the processing time t1, the information processing element 50 refers to a reference table such as that shown in FIG. 8 to obtain the planned score value for each field at the time point corresponding to the position after the movement, and recognizes the obtained value as the provisional score for each category.

[0081] Thereafter, the information processing element 50 displays on the display element 10, together with the two-dimensional coordinate system 110, a ratio display 130 indicating the ratio of the provisional score for each category to the planned score for each category recognized according to the position of the second icon 123, as described above for the processing of S90 in FIG. 4 (FIG. 10 / S115).

[0082] More specifically, the provisional score value for each category is divided by the planned score value for each category recognized according to the position of the second icon 123 (i.e., the planned score value at the time corresponding to the position of the second icon 123), thereby recognizing the ratio of the provisional score for each category to the planned score for each category recognized according to the position of the second icon 123.

[0083] Then, based on the percentage values ​​for each classification thus recognized, the information processing element 50 generates a radar chart as shown on the left side of FIG. 5 as a percentage display 130 in a manner similar to that described above for FIG. 4 / S110, and displays it on the display element 10 together with the two-dimensional coordinate system 110.

[0084] Furthermore, while the information processing element 50 has not determined that it has received an operation to move the position of the first icon 121 or the second icon 123 (FIG. 10 / S75: No), it repeatedly executes the processing of S75 and waits for the user's operation to move the first icon 121 or the second icon 123.

[0085] Although modified embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above, and various further modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0086] That is, for example, although the above describes a case where the learning items are classified into one of a plurality of categories, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, all of the learning items may correspond to one category, or may not be classified at all.

[0087] In this case, one strip display 115 is displayed in the two-dimensional coordinate system 110, and the first icon 121 and the second icon 123 are displayed so as to straddle the strip display 115 in the second axis direction. Also, in the ratio display 130, the ratio for each category is not displayed.

[0088] Alternatively, in the above description, an embodiment has been described in which each strip 115 is arranged with a predetermined gap between adjacent strips 115 so as not to contact each other, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, for example, the strip 115 of the two-dimensional coordinate system 110 may be a so-called stacked area graph.

[0089] In the above, an embodiment has been described in which the terminal 1 operated by the user and the server 3 connected via a communication network 5 work together to function as a learning progress display system, but each element may be provided on a single terminal 7, for example, as shown in FIG. 11.

[0090] Alternatively, for example, in addition to the two-dimensional coordinate system and the percentage display, a list of learning items that the learner should finish studying within a predetermined period (e.g., one week. The length of the period may be set appropriately) from the processing time point t1 may be displayed. Note that in the first modified embodiment, the number of learning items that the learner should finish studying within the predetermined period may increase or decrease depending on the operation of moving the position of the second icon 123. In that case, the information processing element 50 refers to the learning progress information 310 and increases or decreases the number of learning items to be displayed in the list depending on the operation of moving the position of the second icon 123.

[0091] The information processing element 50 determines provisional deadline information for each learning item using a predetermined algorithm, for example, so that the learning of a learning item that should be completed by the time indicated by the position of the second icon 123 before it is moved is completed by the time indicated by the position of the second icon 123 after it is moved, and recognizes learning items that should be added to (or removed from) the list based on the determined provisional deadline information, and increases or decreases the number of learning items displayed in the list.
