Abstract(in English) In this paper, we present the two new functions, the keyword submission function and the Web quiz function, for NOBASU. NOBASU is the Web-based learning management system (LMS) that has been developed by our research group to improve educational services in our department. The keyword submission function requests students to submit three keywords in each class before and after the class from the course materials so as to encourage them to prepare and review it. These keywords are disclosed to all the students after the submission deadline so that they can refer them for self-study. The Web quiz function enables students to take short tests about contents in classes on NOBASU. The test results are automatically graded after the student submits them. The teacher can easily register a new Web quiz by uploading a CSV file that describes the questions and the answers following the newly defined format. This CSV file can be completed at any place without Internet connections. We have implemented the two functions and have applied them to one class for freshmen at Department of Communication Network Engineering in Okayama University. From the results of the questionnaire from students about their usability, we confirm that they are very effective to improve motivations and understanding of students for this class.
