Education Support System for Student Progress Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Educators face challenges in assessing individual students' comprehension and achievement levels when using digital learning content, particularly with students who have difficulty reading electronic books based on the DAISY standard, as progress statuses are hard to track and assess accurately.
Innovation Solution
An education support system that includes terminal devices and a server device, where terminal devices record and transmit reproduction log data, including time and frequency of digital content reproduction, allowing the server to display this data visually, enabling educators to monitor and support students' comprehension and achievement levels over time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital learning content is distributed to students via e-learning, then learning accessibility is improved, but tracking and assessing individual student progress becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automated feedback by collecting reproduction log data from terminal devices and providing it to educators through a web interface. This feedback mechanism enables continuous monitoring of student progress without increasing operational complexity for educators, as the system automatically aggregates and presents comprehension and achievement level data.
Solution Approach 2:
A server acts as an intermediary between terminal devices and educators. The server collects reproduction log data from multiple terminals, processes the data to calculate comprehension and achievement levels, and presents this information through a web interface. This intermediary layer simplifies the complexity for educators by centralizing data aggregation and analysis.
2Measurement precision
If digital content reproduction is monitored individually, then assessment accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments assessment into two distinct metrics: comprehension level (based on voice output reproduction) and achievement level (based on text display reproduction). This segmentation allows precise measurement of different learning aspects while maintaining simple data collection methods at the terminal level, with automated calculation on the server.
3Loss of information
If comprehensive reproduction data is collected from all students, then assessment capability is improved, but data processing burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary data processing by automatically calculating comprehension and achievement levels from reproduction log data as it is collected. This preliminary action prepares assessment-ready information in advance, reducing the time burden on educators who receive pre-processed, actionable insights rather than raw data requiring manual analysis.

AI summary
To provide an education support system that allows educators to conduct adequate assessments considering handicaps or characteristics of individual students and to offer effective and efficient learning. Solving means includes: a plurality of terminal devices (40) including: a terminal display unit (41) that displays digital content; a voice output unit (47) that outputs voice data by voice; a reproduction log data memory unit (46) that memorizes ID information of phrases and phrase reproduction start times as reproduction log data; and a transmitter unit (42) that transmits the reproduction log data; and a server device (30) including: a digital content memory unit (60) in which digital content is memorized; a receiver unit (62) that receives reproduction log data from the respective terminal devices (40); a data conversion unit (64) that converts the received reproduction log data into times spent on reproduction and numbers of times of reproduction by phrase; a server display unit (63) that displays the times spent on reproduction and numbers of times of reproduction by phrase; and a display control unit (64) that causes the server display unit to display a plurality of sets of the times spent on reproduction and numbers of times of reproduction by phrase at different times and dates in the same terminal device and for the same digital content simultaneously on a same screen.
