Study Of The Design Of The Online Video Course

With the development of network technologies and multi-media technologies, Internet has been evolving from the preliminary stage that is marked by html-based E-mail and E-chat to a new stage dominated by Network Video. Network Video is becoming a multi-way communication mainly of the expression of people's personality and interactive participation from the one-way transmission.

The reasons why the problems above exist in China's Network Video Courses are the influence of the traditional face-to-face teaching on the designers of Network Video Courses, which leads to the out-dated design concepts and the lack of scientific design.Taking Network Video Courses for senior high school Information Technologies teachers training for instance, the paper discusses the design of Network Video Courses in terms of selection of contents, form of representation and script writing under the guideline of theory of teaching design.
