     In response to problems in the open campus (OC) tour support system constructed in[1],in this paper,(1) we implement an authentication function by using cookies and implement a notification function of OC information to make the system easier to use. (2) We propose a Position Measurement Correction Method (PMCM) that uses Beacon terminals (BC) to solve the problem of degradation of position measurement accuracy in buildings. (3) We make the BC function and the LINE application working together organically on the system,enabling users to actively receive information provided by the system to improve the efficiency of transmission. Then,we conduct experiments for the PMCM to clarify the effectiveness of the method. We also conducted for the participants in two OC events held at Konan University to performance evaluations regarding the use of this system,and clarify the effectiveness of improvement. Finally,we perform position positioning and flow line analysis to show that the data can be used for effective use of campus facilities superimposed on time.

     In recent years,interest in learning analytics that analyzes big educational data has increased.,and research using deep learning technology has also been conducted. Our research team has also constructed AI models that automatically and in real time add coding label to collaborative learning data,verified its accuracy and its usefulness. However,it has been a challenge to create supervised data from big data,requiring enormous human power and time. In addition,it will cost more if a new supervised data has to be constructed for each research subject and needs for practical use. In this study,we verified how much human labeling work can be reduced by conducting pre-training as transfer learning before the supervised learning.

     This study aimed to develop effective educational methods to encourage the appropriate use of social games in high school students. To accomplish this objective,a questionnaire survey was conducted on second-year high school students with varying academic achievements. The analysis of the results elucidated the following two points:

    ① Some students use high-frequency and high-priced social games regardless of which school they belong to,and the analysis found almost no differences in this result with regard to school type or career preference.

    ② Students who make impulsive purchases tend to exhibit high usage and frequency of usage of social games. Moreover,such respondents are unaware of their inappropriate consumption behaviors and do not know whether they have acquired accurate information.The findings suggest that instructions on how to acquire knowledge,how to exercise judgment as a consumer,and how to value and use money must be imparted to high school students in order to teach them about the appropriate use of social games.

    In the future,we would like to investigate and analyze the actual state of the instructions imparted in schools on the topic of the use of social games and to consider more effective educational methods.
