The Applied Research Of Mashup In E-learning

With the development of Web2.0and Web3.0related technologies, a new kind of network information aggregation-Mashup begins to enter people’s vision.Mashup originated in the field of popular music, which refers to the mix and match different genre of songs to form a new song.It has been given a new meaning in the field of Internet, it usually refers to the aggregation of different types of resources by the relevant network protocols and technologies, thereby creating a new application. On the one hand, the building of Mashup applications enrich the manifestation of the Internet applications, on the other hand, it makes the reorganization and appreciation of the information more convenient and efficient.In the field of education, especially in the on-line learning environment, the trend of using mashup applications is increasingly evidently. Related study both at home and abroad mainly includes:The mode and feasibility of Mashup in the field of eudcation, the discussion of personal learning environment and the combination of the specific discipline which can carry out research on Mashup applications, and these applied researches have made many meaningful exploration to the Mashup application in the field of education.Based on the existing research foundation, this paper focuses on how to use Mashup aggregating resources in the online learning environment. For this reason, the paper takes the network course of Microcomputer Principle in Central China Normal University for example, and analyzes the general function and structure of the course, and combines with the use of the course, and finally, sums up the course modules that can be improved by using Mashup. Meanwhile, in order to verify the aggregated results, this paper gives three examples, the first instance is the text resources that can be aggregated by Mashup, this function is mainly used to extract and aggregate the text from the "course tutorship" page of the network course so as to achieve the secondary purpose of reuse. The second instance is the validation and use of the book research, and the aggregation application is mainly used to improve the function of book list in the "teaching resources" page of the network course, in the term of implementation, it uses APIs provided by Google Book Service, to some extent, it facilitates the learners’ accessing to relevant books in the network course. The final application example aims at the multimedia resources in the E-learning platform,and mainly used for addding videos to network course resources.In this part, the author makes use of Sohu HD video API as the data source, through the registration service and aggregation,we can get some Sohu HD videos concerning the network course of Microcomputer Principle.The implementation of the above three instances verifies the possibility of using Mashup aggregating resources to support learning in the E-learning environment such as the online courses.
