The Development For System Of Quick Multimedia Courseware

With the rapid development of education information and the innovation of teaching methods, multi-media technology has played a very important role in teaching. However, making courseware is difficult for most teachers who are inexperienced in program designing. Although large funds are invested in multi-media equipment, teaching through multi-media cannot be widely used in teaching except in open-classes. In order to solve existing problems, a multi-media courseware developing system is developed in this article: all kinds of interactive and the whole frame structures of courseware are included in this system, which also includes all kinds of page modules that enable various source materials to be made into a courseware rapidly and conveniently. Using this system, teachers can make a courseware by introducing various source materials with no need to carry out complicated programming.The characteristics of this system lie in separating the content and structure of a courseware and devising structure into an intelligent and general one. It enables teachers' prepared source materials to be transformed into a courseware automatically and enables source materials to be used repeatedly and shared commonly, thus improving the efficiency of developing a courseware.Various kinds of modules are devised in this system to diversify source materials of courseware, and each can be used to control and play a specific multi-media file, such as graphs file(.jpg, .bmp, .tif, .tga, .pic,) , Video File (.avi, .mpg, .mov), sound files (.wav, .mp3, .mid, .rmi),text files (.txt) , flash (.swf), Anim files (.gif, .flc, .fli) , frontpage (.htm, .htm) , powerpoint (.ppt) , Executable File (.exe) and Authware programs (.a6r, .a5r, .a4r, .app)This system provides great convenience for teachers to develop multi-media courseware by themselves, thus attracting more teachers to make courseware and relevant source materials. It can also promote the innovation of teaching medium and the development of modern education technology.
