In this workshop, there were presentations on cases where students were able to raise the level of academic ability of the entire student body by "thoroughly" learning through a course that progressively increased in difficulty and eventually culminated in all the questions being answered correctly.

President Nagayasu Toyoda of Suzuka University of Medical Science commented, "Until now, we have focused on implementing classes using e-learning, but I think we are now entering a phase in which we are looking at how we can create high-quality content that students can enjoy learning. In the future, we would like to promote the sharing of high-quality teaching materials that have been devised in various ways by teachers.

At the end of the session, Suzuka University of Medical Science asked questions to learningBOX Corporation. The students also asked questions such as "Since the number of classes using learningBOX is increasing, it seems that students are having difficulty finding the content they are looking for" and "Is it possible to link with the database of national exam questions? A lively exchange of opinions took place.

Yoichiro Nishimura, Representative Director of learningBOX Corporation, commented, "We would like to continue to receive requests for new functions. We will take the time to consider each and every request and will do our best to accommodate as many as possible.

Some functions have been implemented in learningBOX at the request of Suzuka University of Medical Science, and we will continue to work on solving various issues as part of our joint research.
