[0027] [Teacher processing] The teaching process will now be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the teaching process in step ST12 shown in FIG. Each step will be explained. STEP ST21: In response to the teacher's operation of teacher terminal device 13 , electronic book teaching material system 11 reads out teacher's electronic book teaching material data of teaching materials designated by the teacher from database 57 and transmits it to teacher terminal device 13 . Teacher terminal device 13 displays on a display, for example, teacher's electronic book screen 71 shown in FIG. Within the teacher's electronic book screen 71, a link button 73, an answer button 75, and a test creation button 77 are located. When the teacher operates the answer button 75, the teacher's electronic book screen 71 with the correct answer written in red in the answer column as shown in FIG.

[0028] STEP ST22: The electronic book teaching material system 11 judges whether or not the teacher has operated the test creation button 77 on the teacher's electronic book screen 71 shown in FIG. 5, and if it judges that the teacher has operated the test creation button 77, the process proceeds to step ST23.

[0029] STEP ST23: The electronic book teaching material system 11 displays a teacher's test question creation screen 79 shown in FIG. A check box 83 is positioned corresponding to each question on the teacher's test question creation screen 79. The check box 83 can be selected by the teacher. Furthermore, a test download button 85 is located on the teacher's test question creation screen 79 .

[0030] STEP ST24: When the teacher has completed the selection of questions to be tested, he or she designates the test download button 85 . When electronic book teaching material system 11 determines that test download button 85 has been specified, it proceeds to step ST25.

[0031] STEP ST25: The electronic book teaching material system 11 generates editable test question data including the question selected by the selection instruction in step ST24, and answer column data indicating the layout of the answer column. The electronic book teaching material system 11 uses the converted data in the student processing.

[0032] The conversion data indicates question data, answer definition data, and answer column definition data in association with each other for each question. The question data is data related to questions to be displayed on the teacher's test question creation screen 79 . The test question data includes a description of the position where each question is displayed and the position where graphics used in the questions are inserted.

[0033] The answer definition data indicates the display format of the answer column for the question. Different structures of the answer column can be defined depending on the question. The answer column definition data indicates the point allocation of the question.

[0034] 8 to 10 are diagrams for explaining an example of the conversion data of the present embodiment. By carrying out the above-mentioned teaching process, the electronic book teaching material system 11 can select questions on the electronic book and generate test questions.

[0035] [Student Processing] The student processing will now be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the student processing in step ST14 shown in FIG. Each step will be explained. Steps ST21 to ST24 shown in FIG. 11 are basically the same as the steps with the same reference numerals in FIG. 4 of the above-mentioned teaching process.

[0036] In step ST35, the following process is carried out. That is, the electronic book teaching material system 11 generates test question data that is not editable and includes the question selected in the selection instruction in step ST24, and answer column data that indicates the layout of the answer column. The electronic book teaching material system 11 uses the converted data in the student processing.

[0037] In the student processing, when a student user inputs an answer on a screen or in the answer field corresponding to the electronic book teaching material data, the electronic book teaching material system 11 performs a marking process based on the input answer and correct answer data, and displays the results of the marking process to the student user.

[0038] Furthermore, the electronic book teaching material system 11 performs a process of displaying the results of the grading process for the student user on the teacher terminal device 13 of the teacher user corresponding to the student user. This eliminates the need for students to submit teaching materials (books, paper media) to teachers. Teachers can create test questions by referring to students' study history (mistake history).

[0039] Furthermore, the electronic book teaching material system 11 generates new electronic book teaching material data showing the questions answered by the student users and the results of the answers, and displays the generated electronic book teaching material data on a screen corresponding to the generated electronic book teaching material data. This allows the student user to know the questions he or she has answered and the results of their answers on the screen of the electronic book teaching material, thereby improving the effectiveness of learning.

[0040] Furthermore, the electronic book teaching material system 11 may process the problems in the electronic book to be used as problems in a digital drill provided by a dedicated app. This allows the efforts in the digital drill to be reflected in the electronic book. For example, the problems and results solved in the digital drill are displayed in the place of the corresponding problem in the electronic book, improving the learning effect.

[0041] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. In other words, those skilled in the art may make various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions of the components of the above-described embodiment within the technical scope of the present invention or an equivalent scope.

[0042] For example, electronic books may be provided with ruby ​​and voice reading functions to accommodate students who require special support. In addition, the problems in the e-books may be made available as digital drills (dedicated apps). This allows the efforts made in the digital drills to be reflected in the e-books (for example, the problems and results solved in the digital drills will be displayed in the corresponding places in the e-books).

[0043] Also, it may be possible for anyone to use the functions of electronic book teaching material system 11 to upload electronic book teaching material data to electronic book teaching material system 11 by themselves. Once the e-book has been created, a URL will be issued. The user will be the teacher, and students who want to take the class can register as "student users" and make the book viewable by anyone. Classes can be taught using the e-book teaching material system 11 anywhere, whether in the classroom or online. [Industrial Applicability]
