Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] [Embodiment] Regarding the learning management device, learning management system, and program according to the present embodiment, suitable embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or similar parts are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals. Note that the present embodiment is not limited to these embodiments, and also includes those with various modifications or improvements. That is, the components described below include those that can be easily assumed by those skilled in the art and substantially the same ones, and the components described below can be combined as appropriate. Also, in the present embodiment, various omissions, substitutions, or changes of the components may be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0017] In all the drawings for explaining the embodiments, those having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated explanations are omitted. Further, as used in the present application, "based on XX" means "based on at least XX", and includes cases where it is based on another element in addition to XX. Further, "based on XX" is not limited to the case where XX is directly used, and includes cases where it is based on something obtained by performing operations or processing on XX. "XX" is an arbitrary element (for example, arbitrary information). Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the device configuration of the learning management device 10 according to the embodiment. The learning management device 10 according to the present embodiment enhances the learning motivation of a learner by performing a predetermined display for the learner. In the present embodiment, a learner is, for example, a person who is young in terms of age, such as a lower elementary school student, a kindergarten child, or a nursery school child. A learner may be referred to as, for example, a first user. Further, in the present embodiment, a supervisor who manages the learning of a learner may be referred to as a second user. A supervisor may be, for example, a guardian of a learner or a teacher who gives educational guidance to the learner.

[0019] The learning management device 10 includes an arithmetic unit 11 and a storage unit 17. The learning management device 10 includes an arithmetic unit 11 and a storage unit 17. The arithmetic unit 11 includes a central processing unit (CPU), operates based on programs and data stored in the storage unit 17, and provides various functions. The storage unit 17 is constituted by, for example, a hard disk drive, a semiconductor memory (flash memory, RAM, ROM), etc., and stores various kinds of information such as programs and data read by the arithmetic unit 11. Note that the storage unit 17 may be realized by a virtual storage device such as a cloud server outside the learning management device 10. The learning management device 10 may be an information processing device such as a smartphone, a tablet, or a personal computer, or may be a device that performs information communication with the information processing device.

[0020] The calculation unit 11 of the learning management device 10 includes a communication unit 12, an operation reception unit 13, a display control unit 14, a learning result acquisition unit 15, and an authentication reception unit 16 as its functional units.

[0021] The communication unit 12 communicates with other information processing devices, etc., as needed.

[0022] The operation reception unit 13 receives operations from learners, supervisors, etc. The operation reception unit 13 has, for example, a first user operation reception unit 131 that receives operations from learners and a second user operation reception unit 132 that receives operations from supervisors as its functional units. The operation reception unit 13 may have the first user operation reception unit 131 and the second user operation reception unit 132 separately and independently, or it may be a single functional unit that encompasses these functions.

[0023] The learning management device 10 includes a display unit (not shown). The learning management device 10 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display and displays various images. In the following description, the display of an image by the learning management device 10 is also referred to as presenting an image to the learner or supervisor. For example, the display unit of the learning management device 10 may include, for example, a touch panel that also serves as an operation unit, and may detect operations by the learner or supervisor.

[0024] The display control unit 14 controls the display of the learning management device 10 and the display of an information processing device (not shown) that performs information communication. Specifically, the display control unit 14 may generate a screen to be displayed on the display unit of the learning management device 10 and transmit it to the information processing device (not shown) via the communication unit 12. In this case, the information processing device (not shown) displays the screen generated by the display control unit 14. The display control unit 14 includes a first display control unit 141 and a second display control unit 142 as its functional units. The display control unit 14 may include the first display control unit 141 and the second display control unit 142 separately and independently, or it may include a functional unit that encompasses either of these functional units.

[0025] Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation of the learning management device 10 of the embodiment. In addition to Figure 2, the operation of the learning management device 10 will be specifically explained with reference to Figures 3 to 8.

[0026] Figure 3 shows a first display screen D1, which is an example of a first display screen for the learning management device 10 of the embodiment. The first display screen D1 has a lesson selection field D101 and a lock display D102 as part of its screen configuration.

[0027] The first display screen D1 is a display screen that is shown when the learner has not yet performed any learning. Not performing any learning may mean that the learner has not performed any learning using the learning management device 10, that the learner has not performed any learning since the display by the first display control unit 141 and the second display control unit 142 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the reaction function) was made, or that the learner has not performed any learning within a predetermined period (for example, every day).

[0028] (Step S101) The learner operates the learning management device 10 to perform the learning.

[0029] The lesson selection field D101 is for selecting lessons that are learned using the learning management device 10. Multiple types of lessons are displayed in the lesson selection field D101. These multiple types of lessons differ, for example, in difficulty level, unit, or subject. The learner operates the learning management device 10 to select a lesson and solve the problems.

[0030] The lock indicator D102 indicates that the unlock indicator D201 (described later), which transitions to a screen displayed by the first display control unit 141 and the second display control unit 142, cannot be operated. Specifically, the lock indicator D102 displays a key icon, indicating that the function of the unlock indicator D201 has not been deactivated. In addition, if the lock indicator D102 is operated, a message encouraging learning, such as "Not yet available. Let's start by studying!" may be displayed.

[0031] (Step S201) The learning outcome acquisition unit 15 of the learning management device 10 acquires information about the learner's learning outcomes based on the learner's operations received by the first user operation reception unit 131. The learning management device 10 stores the acquired information about the learning outcomes in the storage unit 17. As a result, the storage unit 17 stores information about the learner's learning outcomes to date.

[0032] Information regarding learning outcomes may simply be referred to as learning outcomes. Learning outcomes may include various pieces of information about the learner's learning, such as the amount of time the learner spent studying over a specified period (e.g., one day, one week, one month, the entire period), the number of units (lessons) the learner studied during the specified period, the number of problems the learner solved during the specified period, the learner's accuracy rate for each lesson, and the number of consecutive days the learner has studied up to the present.

[0033] (Step S202) When the learning management device 10 acquires a learning outcome, it determines that the learner has completed the learning. When the learning management device 10 determines that the learner has completed the learning, it removes the restriction on the use of the reaction function.

[0034] (Step S203) The learning management device 10 generates a learning outcome display D301, which will be described later, based on the learning outcome. The learning outcome display D301 may be determined according to the learner's learning outcome by, for example, comparing it with the correspondence information stored in the memory unit 17, or it may be determined according to the learner's learning result according to a predetermined logic. The correspondence information is information that associates a learning outcome with the learning outcome display D301 that will be displayed in the case of that learning outcome, for each example of a learning outcome.

[0035] Figure 4 shows a second display screen D2, which is an example of a second display screen for the learning management device 10 of the embodiment. The second display screen D2 is a display screen that is displayed as a result of the first display screen D1 being updated by the learner's learning. The second display screen D2 has an unlock display D201 as a component instead of a lock display D102.

[0036] When the unlock indicator D201 is operated, it displays the display screen of the reaction function implemented by the first display control unit 141 and the second display control unit 142 (also referred to as the "Done!" screen).

[0037] (Step S102) The learner operates the unlock indicator D201 to transition the display screen of the learning management device 10 to the "Done!" screen.

[0038] Figure 5 shows the third display screen D3, which is an example of the third display screen for the learning management device 10 of the embodiment. Figure 6 shows the fourth display screen D4, which is an example of the fourth display screen for the learning management device 10 of the embodiment. The first display control unit 141 of the learning management device 10 displays the third display screen D3 and the fourth display screen D4 when the unlock display D201 is operated. The third display screen D3 is an example of the "Done!" screen that is displayed when the unlock display D201 is operated. The third display screen D3 has as its components a free input field D300, one or more learning result displays D301, and a pen selection field D302. The fourth display screen D4 has as its component a sticker selection field D401.

[0039] The free input field D300 displays one or more learning outcome indicators D301. Learners may use the learning management device 10 to attach stickers or stamps (described later) or draw pictures or designs in the free input field D300. In other words, learners can freely draw pictures or make other designs in the free input field D300 as a reward after completing a learning task.

[0040] Learning Outcome Display D301 displays information related to learning outcomes. Information summarizing the learner's learning outcomes is provided separately to the supervisor. This information includes, for example, data necessary for managing the learner's academic ability and progress, and may include the learner's correct answer rate, the percentage of units completed by the learner out of multiple units, and study time. Learning Outcome Display D301 is intended for learners. Therefore, it displays information about acquired learning outcomes that has been processed for the learner. The target audience for Learning Outcome Display D301, which is young learners, are just beginning their studies. To prevent learners from developing a negative attitude towards learning, Learning Outcome Display D301 does not display competitive content such as scores, rankings, or correct answer rates. Learning Outcome Display D301 displays content that praises the fact that young learners have studied. For example, the learning outcome display D301 may show information indicating that learning has been achieved, such as perfection or completion, as well as the number of lessons completed, lesson numbers, study time, and continuous study time, etc., but it does not need to display information that measures the learner's academic ability or information that allows them to imagine future units.

[0041] Furthermore, for example, the learning outcome indicator D301 may display stickers or other items determined according to the learning outcome. It is desirable that the display for the learning outcome indicator D301 has an appearance that appeals to young learners.

[0042] The relationship between the content displayed on Learning Outcome Display D301 and the content presented to the supervisor will be explained in detail below, using the example of the learner's correct answer rate for a certain unit and the display on Learning Outcome Display D301. If the learner's correct answer rate is 100%, Learning Outcome Display D301 will display "Perfect." If the learner's correct answer rate is between 0% and 100%, Learning Outcome Display D301 will display "Cleared." Young learners often lack study habits, so it is desirable to convey that studying is a commendable thing and to increase their motivation to study. Therefore, Learning Outcome Display D301 does not display the correct answer rate, but rather indicates that the learning has been achieved. Furthermore, by changing the content displayed on Learning Outcome Display D301 when the correct answer rate is above a predetermined threshold (for example, 100%), it is possible to further motivate learners to improve their correct answer rate.

[0043] The pen selection field D302 is a selection field for selecting the settings of the pen to be used when drawing pictures, designs, etc. in the free input field D300. The pen settings may include, for example, color and thickness. Learners may select any pen from the pen selection field D302 and draw pictures, designs, etc. in the free input field D300.

[0044] The sticker selection field D401 is a selection field for selecting the type of sticker to be placed in the free input field D300. Placing a sticker in the free input field D300 means displaying the selected sticker at any position in the free input field D300. The types of stickers that can be selected from the sticker selection field D401 may be predetermined by the designer of the learning management device 10, may vary depending on the learning outcome, or may be added based on the operation of the learner or supervisor. Learners may freely select any sticker from the sticker selection field D401 and place it. In other words, learners can freely place stickers in the free input field D300 as a reward after learning. While the fourth display screen D4 shows an example of how stickers can be placed in the free input field D300, this embodiment is not limited to this example; for example, stamps may also be used.

[0045] (Step S103) The learner operates the learning management device 10 to draw or stick stickers in the free input field D300. The first user operation reception unit 131 of the learning management device 10 receives the learner's input operation to the free input field D300 using a pen, sticker, or stamp. In the following description, the input operation in which the learner inputs into the free input field D300 using a pen, sticker, or stamp may be referred to as the first input operation.

[0046] The above description shows an example in which a learning outcome display D301 is pre-displayed in the free input field D300, and the learner performs a first input operation associated with the displayed learning outcome display D301 (learning outcome). However, this embodiment is not limited to this example. The first input operation associated with the learning outcome may include an operation in which the learner displays any learning outcome display D301. For example, the third display screen D3 and the fourth display screen D4 may further display a learning outcome display selection field (not shown). The learning outcome display selection field is a selection field for selecting the type of learning outcome display D301 to be displayed in the free input field D300. The types of learning outcome displays D301 that can be selected from the learning outcome display selection field may be determined according to the learner's learning outcome. With the learning outcome display selection field, the learner can select any learning outcome display D301 from the learning outcome display selection field and display any type of learning outcome display D301 at any position.

[0047] Figure 7 shows a fifth display screen D5, which is an example of a fifth display screen for the learning management device 10 of the embodiment. The fifth display screen D5 is a display screen showing the results of the learner drawing or sticking stickers on the third display screen D3 and the fourth display screen D4. The fifth display screen D5 has a pen first display D501, a sticker first display D502, and a completed button D503 as its screen configuration.

[0048] Pen Display 1 D501 is an illustration or drawing that appears when the learner performs a first input operation using a pen in the free input field D300. Sticker Display 1 D502 is a sticker that appears when the learner places a sticker in the free input field D300. In the following explanation, displays that appear in response to learner operations, such as Pen Display 1 D501 and Sticker Display 1 D502, may be collectively referred to as "First Display."

[0049] When the completed button D503 is pressed, it ends the learner's drawing or sticker application. When the completed button D503 is pressed, it may also display a message prompting the learner to hand over the learning management device 10 to a supervisor, such as "Please hand this over to a parent / guardian."

[0050] (Step S104) The supervisor, upon receiving the learning management device 10, operates the learning management device 10 to react to the learning outcome display D301, the first pen display D501, and the first sticker display D502. The supervisor's reaction may be in the form of free writing with a pen, etc., or it may be in the form of attaching stickers or stamps. If the sticker or stamp method is used, the supervisor can easily react without having to think about the text or design of the reaction. A stamp is a predetermined design that is displayed by the supervisor selecting a position in the free input field D300, and may be a display such as the appearance of a seal being stamped. In the following explanation, an example of the supervisor reacting using stickers or stamps will be described. Note that reacting is also referred to as providing feedback on the learning outcome and drawings, etc. In addition, the input operation in which the supervisor enters the reaction content into the free input field D300 using a stamp may be referred to as the second input operation.

[0051] Figure 8 shows a sixth display screen D6, which is an example of a sixth display screen for the learning management device 10 of the embodiment. The sixth display screen D6 is a display screen in which the supervisor reacts after the learner has operated the completed button D503. The sixth display screen D6 has a stamp selection field D601, a second display D602, and a completion button D603 as its screen configuration.

[0052] The stamp selection field D601 is a selection field for selecting the type of stamp to be stamped in the free input field D300. Note that stamping in the free input field D300 means displaying the selected stamp at any position in the free input field D300. One or more types of stamps can be displayed in the stamp selection field D601. The types of stamps that can be selected from the stamp selection field D601 may be predetermined by the designer of the learning management device 10, or they may be selected based on the supervisor's operation. Note that one or more stamps may be stamped in the free input field D300. Note that the sixth display screen D6 may also display a sticker selection field (not shown) for selecting a sticker to be placed in the free input field D300.

[0053] The second display D602 is a sticker or stamp that appears when the supervisor performs a second input operation using a sticker or stamp in the free input field D300.

[0054] The completion button D603 is a button that, when pressed, ends the supervisor's reaction.

[0055] (Step S105) The supervisor operates the learning management device 10 to end the reaction and complete the drawing, etc. The second display control unit 142 of the learning management device 10 displays the completed image.

[0056] Figure 9 shows the seventh display screen D7, which is an example of the seventh display screen for the learning management device 10 of the embodiment. The seventh display screen D7 displays the learning outcome display D301, the first pen display D501, the first sticker display D502, and the second display D602. In other words, the seventh display screen D7 displays the learner's learning outcome, the learner's drawings and sticker application, and the supervisor's reactions to them.

[0057] Learners and supervisors may save the 7th display screen D7 or post it on social networking services (SNS). They may also save and record each day's 7th display screen D7 for later review.

[0058] Since the learners are young, they may be required to obtain authentication from a supervisor before posting the seventh display screen D7 to SNS. The supervisor inputs authentication information, for example, by operating the learning management device 10. When the learning management device 10 accepts the supervisor's authentication based on the supervisor's operation, the display control unit 14 displays a screen that can be posted to SNS. A screen that can be posted to SNS is, for example, a screen that displays the content to be posted and a button to execute the post.

[0059] In the above description, an example is shown in which the reaction function according to the embodiment is completed by a single device, the learning management device 10. However, this embodiment is not limited to this example. For example, the reaction function according to the embodiment may be implemented by multiple devices. For example, the information processing device in which the learner performs a first input operation and the information processing device in which the supervisor performs a second input operation may exist separately and independently. In this case, the reaction function can be implemented by a learning management system comprising an information processing device in which the learner performs a first input operation and an information processing device in which the supervisor performs a second input operation. The information processing device operated by the learner may be equipped with at least a communication unit 12, a first user operation reception unit 131, a first display control unit 141, and a second display control unit 142, while the information processing device operated by the supervisor may be equipped with at least a communication unit 12, a second user operation reception unit 132, and a first display control unit 141.

[0060] [Summary of this embodiment] According to the embodiment described above, the learning management device 10 includes a learning outcome acquisition unit 15 that acquires the learner's learning outcomes, a first display control unit 141 that displays a free input field D300, a first user operation reception unit 131 that receives a first input operation related to the learning outcome for the free input field D300 based on the learner's operation, a second display control unit 142 that receives a second input operation that reacts to a first display (pen first display D501, sticker first display D502, etc.) displayed in response to the first input operation based on the supervisor's operation, and a second display control unit 142 that displays a first display (pen first display D501, sticker first display D502, etc.) displayed in response to the first input operation, and a second display D602, etc., displayed in response to the second input operation. Young learners, even if their learning outcomes are presented all at once, are unlikely to be very interested. Furthermore, if scores or standard scores are presented, they may develop a negative attitude towards learning and their motivation to learn may decrease. The learning management device 10 according to this embodiment displays the learner's learning outcomes and the supervisor's reactions to the learner's drawings and sticker placement. By receiving the supervisor's reactions to their learning outcomes and drawings, learners can communicate with the supervisor after learning. This motivates learners to learn in order to receive these reactions.

[0061] Furthermore, if the reaction is merely a stamp of approval regarding learning outcomes, the learning process and the presentation of learning results may become mere tasks, potentially diminishing the learner's motivation to learn. By reacting to the learner's drawings and stickers in addition to the learning outcomes, the learner can share the enjoyment of drawing and stickering with the supervisor after learning. By reacting to the learner's drawings and stickers in addition to the learning outcomes, it ceases to be merely a stamping process, and the learner is motivated to learn in order to share the enjoyment of drawing and stickering with the supervisor. Therefore, the learning management device 10 according to this embodiment can enhance the learning motivation of young learners.

[0062] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the free input field D300 displays a learning outcome display D301 related to learning outcomes either in advance or in response to the first input operation. Among the learning outcome displays D301, the learning outcome display D301 based on the learner's correct answer rate does not display the correct answer rate, but displays different information depending on the learner's correct answer rate. While the content presented to the supervisor indicates the learner's academic ability and progress, the content displayed in the learning outcome display D301 indicates to the learner that they have worked hard at learning. Therefore, the learning outcome display D301 should not display anything that might make the learner feel that learning is difficult and could cause them to develop a negative attitude towards learning. Also, since young learners often do not have established study habits, it is preferable to convey that studying is a commendable thing and to increase their motivation to learn without causing them to develop a negative attitude towards learning. By displaying what has been achieved regardless of the answer rate, the learning management device 10 of the embodiment can increase the learner's motivation to learn without diminishing the learner's motivation to learn.

[0063] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the learning outcome display D301 is a sticker or stamp, which is determined according to the learning outcome. It is desirable that the display shown as the learning outcome display D301 has an appearance that young learners like. By displaying stickers or stamps, it is possible to stimulate learners' desire to collect things. Therefore, learners will be motivated to study in order to collect these stickers or stamps. Accordingly, the learning management device 10 according to the embodiment can increase the learning motivation of young learners.

[0064] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the second display D602 is a sticker or stamp, which is one or more stickers or stamps displayed in response to the second input operation. That is, the supervisor may press multiple stamps or attach multiple stickers. By being able to press multiple stickers or stamps, the supervisor can communicate with the learner by pressing the stickers or stamps. This can motivate the learner to study in order to engage in this communication, thereby increasing their motivation to learn.

[0065] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the second display D602 is a sticker or stamp, which is at least one of one or more predetermined types of stickers or stamps selected based on the supervisor's actions. Having multiple types of stickers or stamps allows the supervisor to communicate with learners by using different stickers or stamps. This motivates learners to study in order to communicate, thereby increasing their motivation to learn.

[0066] Furthermore, according to the embodiment described above, the first display control unit 141 does not display the free input field D300 to learner users who are not learning. In other words, learners are aware that there is a reaction function, but they cannot use it unless they learn. Therefore, learners are motivated to learn in order to use the reaction function. Accordingly, the learning management device 10 according to the embodiment can increase the learning motivation of young learners.

[0067] The functions of the learning management device 10 may be implemented using electronic circuits as needed. Furthermore, the functional units that implement these functions do not necessarily have to be contained within a single device; the learning management device 10 may be composed of multiple devices. At least some of the functions of the learning management device 10 can be implemented using a computer. This computer consists of a central processing unit, RAM, input / output ports, input / output devices, a bus, etc. The computer itself can be implemented using existing technologies. The central processing unit executes instructions contained in programs read from RAM, etc. According to each instruction, the central processing unit writes data to RAM, reads data from RAM, and performs arithmetic and logical operations. RAM stores data and programs. Each element in RAM has an address and can be accessed using that address. RAM stands for "Random Access Memory." Input / output ports are ports for the central processing unit to exchange data with external input / output devices, etc. Input / output devices exchange data with the central processing unit via input / output ports. A bus is a common communication path used inside a computer. For example, the central processing unit reads and writes data to RAM via the bus. Also, for example, the central processing unit accesses input / output ports via the bus. Furthermore, all or part of the functional units of the learning management device 10 may be implemented using hardware such as ASICs, PLDs, or FPGAs. Furthermore, all or part of each functional unit may be implemented by a combination of software and hardware.

[0068] Furthermore, the entirety or part of the functions of each component of the learning management device 10 in the above-described embodiment may be realized by recording a program for realizing these functions on a computer-readable recording medium, having a computer system read the program recorded on this recording medium, and executing it. The term "computer system" here includes hardware such as an operating system and peripheral devices.

[0069] Furthermore, "computer-readable recording media" refers to portable media such as flexible disks, magneto-optical disks, ROMs, and CD-ROMs, as well as recording units such as hard disks built into computer systems. In addition, "computer-readable recording media" may include those that dynamically hold programs for a short period of time, such as communication lines used when transmitting programs over networks such as the Internet or communication lines such as telephone lines, and those that hold programs for a certain period of time, such as volatile memory inside computer systems that act as servers or clients in such cases. Moreover, the above-mentioned program may be for the purpose of realizing some of the functions described above, and may also be able to realize the above-mentioned functions in combination with programs already recorded in the computer system.

[0070] Although one embodiment of this invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to that described above, and various design changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this invention. Furthermore, the configurations described in each embodiment and example above may be combined. [Explanation of Symbols]
