[0033] Such a learning support system allows a student to view the access and viewing status of other students to the video materials, thereby understanding the progress of other students in viewing the video materials. This allows a student to understand how far along they are in viewing the video materials compared to other students taking the same course. Students who are behind other students in viewing the video materials will develop a desire not to fall behind, which will motivate them to catch up. In this way, students' viewing of the video materials can be shared and mutually improved, thereby maintaining or increasing their motivation.

[0034] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a learning assistance system according to this embodiment. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the functional configuration of the learning assistance system according to this embodiment. The learning assistance system 1 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 mainly comprises an attendance information management unit 11 and an attendance information display control unit 12. The learning assistance system 1 also comprises an attendance information storage unit 13, a video teaching material storage unit 14, a video teaching material display control unit 15, an attendance information update unit 16, a goal information management unit 17, a goal information storage unit 18, and a goal information display control unit 19.

[0035] Students S1, S2, and S3 connect to this learning assistance system 1 using communication terminals T1, T2, and T3, respectively, which are capable of communicating via a network N such as the Web. When students S1, S2, and S3 access or view video teaching materials, they input their access to the video teaching materials and their viewing status from their respective communication terminals T1, T2, and T3. The access to the video teaching materials and their viewing status thus input are communicated via the network N and acquired by an attendance information acquisition unit (not shown) of the assistance system 1, which is configured to acquire attendance information, for example, and stored as an attendance information database (described later) and managed by an attendance information management unit 11. An attendance information display control unit 12 controls the display of the access to the video teaching materials and the viewing status of the video teaching materials of each student S1, S2, and S3 so that they can be viewed. That is, in such a learning assistance system 1, student S1 is able to view the access to the video materials of students S2 and S3, student S2 is able to view the access to the video materials of students S3 and S1, and student S3 is able to view the access to the video materials of students S1 and S2. As will be described later, one student may be able to view the access to the video materials of all other students and the viewing status of the video materials, but it may also be able to view only the access to the video materials of some of the other students and the viewing status of the video materials.

[0036] Such a learning support system 1 is used by a provider of video learning materials when providing such video learning materials.

[0037] (Course Information Management Department) The attendance information management unit 11 is configured to manage attendance information indicating the status of access to and / or viewing of video learning materials by a plurality of students for each student.

[0038] Video teaching materials are teaching materials in the form of videos, and students are educated by giving lectures through these video teaching materials. Although the entire course may be provided as a single video, it is preferable that the video teaching materials be divided into multiple short videos according to some division rule, such as a unit, chapter, lecture theme, or time.

[0039] When the video teaching material is provided in multiple video segments, the attendance information management unit is preferably configured to manage attendance information indicating the status of access to and / or viewing of the video teaching material by multiple students for each video segment. This configuration allows one student to grasp in detail the progress of other students in viewing the video teaching material for each video segment.

[0040] "Access to video materials" refers to whether or not a student has taken action to open the video materials (clicking the play button on the video, clicking the video link, etc.) or to download the video materials. "Video material viewing status" refers to how much of the video was viewed (for example, what percentage of the video was viewed, how many minutes were viewed, etc.), or whether the student has finished viewing the video.

[0041] The attendance information management unit 11 may include only the current status of access to the video teaching materials and viewing of the video teaching materials (whether or not the video teaching materials have been accessed or viewed), but it is preferable to include these statuses in correspondence with the date or date and time of access, the date or date and time of start of viewing, and the date or date and time of completion of viewing. In other words, it is preferable that the attendance information indicates whether or not the video teaching materials have been accessed and the date (or date and time) of access, and / or whether or not the video teaching materials have been viewed and the date (or date and time) of viewing. By including these dates and dates in the attendance information, one student can more specifically grasp the progress and pace of other students' viewing of the video teaching materials, which can further increase one's motivation to learn.

[0042] The attendance information is not particularly limited, and may be self-reported by the student or their representative, entered and updated via the reception unit of the student's terminal or a shared terminal, or may be automatically updated in conjunction with the access and viewing of the video using the attendance information update unit 16 described below.

[0043] The attendance information is not particularly limited, but preferably includes the ID of each student. In particular, the attendance information preferably includes the status of access to the video teaching materials and viewing of the video teaching materials, and the student's ID, each of which corresponds to the status of access to the video teaching materials and viewing of the video teaching materials. By including the status of access to the video teaching materials and viewing of the video teaching materials in association with (linking to) the student's ID as attendance information, it becomes easier to manage and store the attendance information for each student. Note that in one embodiment, the student's ID may be the student's real name.

[0044] The attendance information may be stored and managed as a database, for example, as an attendance information database. This attendance information database includes a student ID, access and viewing information, and goal information (goal information for each video clip if the video teaching material is divided into video clips). Here, the student ID identifies the student and may be, for example, numbers, alphabets, hiragana, katakana, or a combination thereof. One (identical) student ID cannot be assigned to multiple students. The access and viewing information indicates the status of access to and viewing of the video teaching material. If the video teaching material is divided into video clips, it indicates the status of access to and viewing of each video clip. Furthermore, the goal information indicates the goal regarding the date or time for accessing and viewing the video teaching material. In other words, the goal information is the goal regarding when the video teaching material is planned to be accessed and viewed. In one embodiment, the attendance information database may be in a tabular format.

[0045] (Course information display control section) The attendance information display control unit 12 is configured to control the display so that one student can view the attendance information of other students.

[0046] The attendance information display control unit 12 may control the display so that one student can view the attendance information of at least one of the other students, but it may also control the display so that the attendance information of two or more other students can be viewed, or it may control the display so that the attendance information of all other students can be viewed.

[0047] (Attendance information storage unit) The attendance information storage unit 13 is configured to store attendance information for each student. The attendance information is as described above.

[0051] (Video teaching material display control unit) The video teaching material display control unit 15 is configured to control the display of the video teaching material so that it can be viewed by the students.

[0052] The video teaching material display control unit 15 may make the video teaching material viewable to all students, or may make it viewable only to some of the students (for example, in the case of a course that can only be viewed by students who have purchased it, such as an additional course), etc. In the latter case, access may be restricted so that only specific students can view it, for example, by using a password or the like.

[0053] (Course Information Update Department) The attendance information update unit 16 is configured to update attendance information indicating the status of access to and / or viewing of the video educational material.

[0054] As mentioned above, the attendance information may be updated by the student or their representative, who may self-report and input and update the information via the reception unit of the student's terminal or a shared terminal. However, by using the attendance information update unit 16 in this manner, it is possible to prevent input errors or false input of the status of video access and / or video teaching material viewing, and it is possible to obtain more accurate status of video access and / or video teaching material viewing, as well as eliminating the need for students to update their attendance information.

[0055] For example, when a video teaching material is accessed and / or viewed, the attendance information update unit 16 detects this access to and / or viewing of the video teaching material and updates the attendance information stored in the attendance information storage unit 13. The update may be performed immediately when the video teaching material is accessed and / or viewed, or may be performed periodically upon detecting access to and / or viewing of the video teaching material.

[0056] The course information may be updated for each student individually, or may be updated simultaneously for multiple students if, for example, the students access and / or watch the video materials on a regular basis as described above.

[0057] As a method for updating the attendance information by the attendance information update unit 16, the attendance information may be updated so as to hold only the current state without holding past information, or the attendance information may be updated while holding past information.

[0058] (Target Information Management Department) The goal information management unit 17 is configured to manage goal information indicating the goals of a plurality of students in accessing and / or viewing video learning materials for each student.

[0059] The goal information is the target date for accessing and / or viewing the video teaching materials. The goal information is entered by the student before taking the course. The goal information indicates a certain time unit, such as month, week, day, or hour, for accessing and / or viewing the video teaching materials, or a deadline for that unit. An example of goal information is that the deadline for viewing the video teaching materials is August 31st. Note that if the video teaching materials are provided in multiple short videos, "video teaching materials" should be read as "short videos."

[0060] The goal information may be, for example, self-reported by a student or a representative thereof and input via a reception unit of the student's terminal or a shared terminal.

[0061] (Target information storage unit) The goal information storage unit 18 is configured to store goal information for each student. The goal information is as described above.

[0062] The target information storage unit 18 is not particularly limited as long as it can store target information, and various types of memory can be used, for example.

[0063] (Target information display control unit) The goal information display control unit 19 is configured to control the display so that one student can view the goal information of other students.

[0064] The goal display control unit 19 may control the display so that one student can view the goal information of at least one of the other students, but it may also control the display so that the goal information of two or more other students can be viewed, or it may control the display so that the goal information of all other students can be viewed.

[0065] The learning assistance system 1 according to this embodiment can be used for mock exams of written exams, etc. Examples of written exams include, but are not limited to, entrance exams, civil service exams, and qualification exams (Small and Medium Enterprise Management Consultant Examination, Patent Attorney Examination, Bar Examination, Certified Public Accountant Examination, Tax Accountant Examination, Judicial Scrivener Examination, Administrative Scrivener Examination, Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Examination, Surveyor Examination, Construction Management Engineer Examination, etc.).

[0066] [Learning assistance device] The learning assistance device according to this embodiment comprises an attendance information management unit and an attendance information display control unit.
