The following is an excerpt from Digital Government
Source.What is "learningBOX," the popular e-learning system that focuses on price and ease of use [interview]?
-What makes you different or differentiates you from other services?
We offer pricing plans starting at 33,000 yen per year for 100 users at 27.5 yen per person per month, which is extremely competitive compared to the industry market price. In addition, up to 10 users can use almost all functions free of charge indefinitely.
As for ease of use, the intuitive system UI allows for smooth implementation of e-learning without requiring specialized IT knowledge. Our strength lies in the fact that personnel training and education staff, or faculty members, can easily create learning content by themselves.
What are the specific advantages of -learningBOX from the perspective of both the administrator and the learner?
Administrators can create and manage teaching materials, manage members, and save and view grades on the Web without requiring IT knowledge. Even when management is shared by multiple people, detailed authorization settings can be configured for each person in charge, allowing for efficient creation and management of teaching materials while ensuring information management.
For learners, the abundant content formats and intuitive UI are appealing and allow them to continue learning without getting bored. For example, there are 13 different types of quizzes to choose from, allowing learners to enjoy learning while having fun. In addition, you can analyze your own learning history and grades, which is useful for visualizing areas of weakness.
