MoonJapan’s Inquiry Platform 'MoonShot' Integrates with WANTO’s AI Portfolio System 'Memoria'

MoonJapan (based in Toshima, Tokyo; Co-CEO: Gaku Fujita) has announced a partnership with WANTO (based in Kameoka, Kyoto; CEO: Yuki Nishizaka) to integrate MoonJapan's inquiry-based learning platform for schools, 'MoonShot,' with WANTO's canvas-type AI portfolio system, 'Memoria.'

This integration allows educators to consistently store and organize learning history generated during inquiry projects and lessons. It enables the system to capture where and what specific learning or insights students gained, facilitating a better environment for reflection, self-understanding, and career guidance.

Background

'MoonShot' is a comprehensive platform for schools to effectively facilitate 'Integrated Studies' in elementary/junior high schools and 'Integrated Inquiry' in high schools. It is designed as an inquiry DX platform for teachers to manage the entire lifecycle of inquiry-based learning: design, operation, and assessment.

'Memoria' is a canvas-type AI portfolio that supports the storage and utilization of learning experiences from inquiries, classes, and extracurricular activities. It is characterized by its focus on organizing learning in a searchable and traceable format.

Benefits of Integration

This partnership realizes a new form of education data: 'Lesson Design (MoonShot) × Learning Accumulation (Memoria) = Contextualized Learning History.' Key use cases include:

1. Records start from the first day: Learning data and non-cognitive skill records are accumulated across grade levels. 2. Defining inquiry themes in the student's own words: Using past interests as a starting point, records can be organized through various formats such as voice, handwriting, and text. 3. Turning interviews into dialogues: Combining MoonShot’s progress data with Memoria’s records allows teachers to provide individualized support based on an understanding of the student's thinking process.
