We assume that the system is used in distance classes with multiple live-streaming videos. Our system has functions to change the screen layout to best suit for the current learning situation for each of the participants in a class. The system also has a function to efficiently monitor the behavior of many students at a time. These functions enable us to adapt various learning activities in distance learning classes. We implemented a prototype of the proposed system and evaluated it in experimental classes. We confirmed that our system improved the activities in the experimental classes. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagatakiHiroyuki en-aut-sei=Nagataki en-aut-mei=Hiroyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NoguchiKoji en-aut-sei=Noguchi en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatsumaRyo en-aut-sei=Katsuma en-aut-mei=Ryo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamauchiYukiko en-aut-sei=Yamauchi en-aut-mei=Yukiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShibataNaoki en-aut-sei=Shibata en-aut-mei=Naoki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YasumotoKeiichi en-aut-sei=Yasumoto en-aut-mei=Keiichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=ItoMinoru en-aut-sei=Ito en-aut-mei=Minoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Center for Faculty Development, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Financial Systems Division, Hitachi Solutions, Ltd. affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Information Science, Nara Institute of Science and Technology affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Information Science, Nara Institute of Science and Technology affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Information Processing and Management, Shiga University affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Information Science, Nara Institute of Science and Technology affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Information Science, Nara Institute of Science and Technology en-keyword=Distance learning kn-keyword=Distance learning en-keyword=Computer-supported education kn-keyword=Computer-supported education en-keyword=User interface kn-keyword=User interface en-keyword=Learning situation kn-keyword=Learning situation en-keyword=Screen layout kn-keyword=Screen layout END
