Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic and policies such as the “Academic Management Guidelines” by the Ministry of Education, higher education institutions (mainly Universities and Professional Training Colleges) have recognized the need for Digital Transformation. In this situation, NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE WEST CORPORATION, Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd., NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE EAST CORPORATION, established “NTT EDX Co., Ltd” in October 2021. NTT EDX initiated the business of providing “EDX UniText,” a digital e-textbook and educational materials distribution platform for higher education institutions. This platform has viewer functions developed for effective learning modalities, and contributes to the provision of novel learning methods and teaching styles that cannot be achieved with paper textbooks. In particular, the ability to maintain a learning activity log of students is a more valuable function of this platform, and it is considered that it can contribute to the versatility of learning support tailored to each individual student. This literature describes the direction of NTT EDX's goal as "realizing new learning modalities."
