With the rapid development of science and technology, robots have gone into theclassrooms of school from the lab. Robotics education is receiving increasingattention。But, in the information age, how to use the network platform to dig tap theeducational value of the robot, will become a focus of education field. As B. Trillingand P. Hood said: " While information technology is an important catalyst for learningmethod in the knowledge age, but we must always remember: an important influenceis the practice model and results, rather than tools." Teaching model, which is amethodological problem, is significative for improving the teaching quality, and playan important role in teaching process.So, in this paper, the main research works are, in the Moodle network teachingplatform, supported by people - machine interaction environment, how to designsuitable teaching model according to characteristics of robotics instruction. Thereason choosing the Moodle as the network platform is as an open source software, inthe concentric product, the users, who come from 175 countries, all play complimentsto Moodle. Moodle owns perfect function and module, for example, learning service,safety management, sustains for learning activity, sustains for teacher activity,teaching management, and backstage database management for shared. So the writerstudy and analyze the function and module of Moodle, at the same time install andgive a tryout. In the paper, we discussed event, group, cooperation discussion whichall used in the research about teaching method.Relative to the researches on the teaching model mostly develop in the traditionalteaching process, the special researches on the teaching mode on Internet are less thanthe former. The writer thinks, on network environment, that the researches on teachingmodel can develop in what the elements of teaching model is, how to design andpractice, the sustain from the technology, the function of the video teaching, how totrack and control the learning process of students and so on.In this paper, the writer put forward the improved projects about'Rotation - mutualeducation'learning model which used in Moodle, the contents are listed below:1. Explain the concept of'Rotation - mutual education'learning model2. Sorted out theoretical basis for the "rotation - mutual education" teaching model 3. Summed up the implementation of the main points of the "rotation - mutualeducation" teaching model;4. Design a teaching process of "rotation - mutual education" teaching model;At the same time, the writer chose the text the movement of robot, as an exampleand designed the activity according to the improved execution program, and put it intopractice. After the experiments, we obtain some results of the experiments on theimproved teaching model and some modified opinions about execution program.The research's achievement and innovation can be concludes as below:1. Constructed under the support of Moodle network platform, suitable for primaryand secondary education in robotics, "rotation - mutual education" teaching mode;2. By the analysis of learning environment, author put forward six kinds ofcooperative learning classroom in robot;3. Through the analysis of cooperative learning, according to characteristics ofrobot teaching, author clearly put forward "quality duo group" for robot teaching.
