Continuing from an earlier 2015 project, reported in Sakai et al. [5], we assigned our students voluntary learning tasks in addition to the required homework in the course “ICT Exercise” in 2016. A learning advisor and student tutors were employed to support the students in tackling outside the class. The number of visits for consultation increased 2.0 times compared to that of 2015. Most of the consultations were related to the required homework or the voluntary learning tasks. Comparing the data from the two years, we see that the number of submissions increased largely for a simple task on character input, whereas decreased by half for a difficult task on a practice drill. The student group that completed the voluntary learning tasks showed higher learning outcomes than the group that did not. However, the learning outcomes for all students show gradually decline over three years (2014 to 2016), though the number of visits to the learning advisor and the submission rate for the voluntary learning tasks increased every year. This could be because students have recently tended to avoid using PCs because of the spread of personal smart tablets in Japan. We discuss methods to support learning outside the class and to improve the learning outcomes of all students.
