Description

Method of providing educational content that can increase learning efficiency.}

The present invention relates to a method of providing educational contents capable of increasing learning efficiency, and more particularly, to a method and system for providing educational contents capable of providing efficient learning according to an educational engineering design method, and to implementing the same It is about a recording medium on which a program for

In the past, education was mainly centered on books at school, but with the universal spread of computers and the development of the Internet, anyone can receive educational information anywhere through a network such as the Internet.

The provision of educational contents through a network is referred to as e-Learning. IDC, a market research institute, defines e-learning as learning that synchronously or asynchronously delivers education and training to end users through a network. According to the e-learning industry development law recently enacted in Korea, e-learning is defined as 'learning that is carried out using electronic means, information communication and radio waves, and broadcasting technology'.

In the past, e-learning was only at the level of simply delivering text-based lecture contents to users, but recently, with the development of network transmission technology and digital data processing technology, multimedia education contents are being provided.

In line with this trend, standardization work is in progress for the creation, management, and service of educational contents, which means a process to ensure compatibility of educational contents.

In the present invention, in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, a method and system for providing educational contents that enable developers or instructors who do not know educational engineering to easily and quickly produce educational contents according to educational engineering design, and to implement them I would like to propose a recording medium on which a program for

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for providing educational contents that enable re-use of previously produced educational contents, and a recording medium on which a program for implementing the same is recorded.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for providing educational contents that enable instructors to easily create metadata based on XML, and a recording medium on which a program for implementing the same is recorded. To provide a method and system for providing educational contents that can increase the learning efficiency of learners by providing other educational contents to educational engineering instructional design, and a recording medium on which a program for implementing the same is recorded.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for providing educational contents that can increase learning efficiency by enabling instructors to create, edit, modify, and package educational contents on the web.

Currently, SCORM (Sharable Contents Object Reference Model) is almost a standard for e-learning, which means e-learning technology developed by ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning), an American standard-setting body.

The demand for compatibility of educational content has so far differed in the way of exchanging data between the e-learning operating system (LMS) and the content depending on the educational content provider, so it is almost impossible to operate the content provided by various providers in a specific LMS. There was a problem that had to be corrected, and there was a big obstacle in terms of cost and time. However, if the SCORM standard support system is established, content providers can accept and operate any content without any problems as long as it is based on the SCORM standard.

After SCORM version 1.0 was released in January 2000, SCORM version 1.2 was released in October 2001, and SCORM 2004 is currently released. SCORM is largely divided into three parts: Overview, Content Aggregation Model, Run-Time Environment, and Sequencing and navigation. The Overview part deals with the overall overview of SCORM, and the Content Aggregation Model part contains the content model, meta data that is information about learning contents, and specifications for packaging to deliver learning contents. The environment part describes the execution and termination of the learning object, the mechanism for communication between the learning object and the system, the API, and the data model.

Currently, XML-based metadata is created according to the above-mentioned SCORM standard, and HTML-based educational contents are created. According to the prior art, when an instructor wants to create a lecture plan, to create metadata and contents There was a problem of having to separately understand the meta data specification of SCORM 2004 and performing a very cumbersome and tricky task of writing it according to XML grammar and SCORM specification.

In addition, the most important part in developing educational contents for e-learning is to find a method for teaching, that is, what to teach, in what order to teach, and how to teach. This is called instructional design. Recently, in order to increase the learning efficiency of learners in providing online educational contents, the necessity of configuring individual item placement learning courses according to these educational engineering teaching designs is increasing. According to this, there was a problem that the teaching plan could not be produced.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is an advantage in that developers who do not know educational technology or teachers who are not familiar with instructional design can easily and quickly produce educational contents according to educational engineering design.

In addition, according to the present invention, since previously produced educational contents are stored in a database, there is an advantage that other instructors can reuse them later.

In addition, according to the present invention, there is an advantage in that an instructor who does not know XML grammar can easily create XML-based meta data.

In addition, according to the present invention, since educational content is created using a template based on educational engineering design, there is an advantage in that learner's learning efficiency can be increased.

In addition, according to the present invention, there is an advantage in that teaching plans can be conveniently prepared on the web without the need to install a separate application program in the instructor's terminal.

Maintaining in a database; (b) storing a combination including one or more of the plurality of design templates in the database as a package according to first sequencing information defining an application sequence of design templates according to each lecture sequence. (c) receiving lecture order selection information from the instructor terminal; (d) transmitting interface output control information for inputting lecture contents according to the selected lecture order to the instructor terminal; (e) transmitting the lecture order selection information to the instructor terminal; Receiving lecture content information from a terminal; and (f) matching the received lecture content information with a design template corresponding to the selected lecture sequence.

According to the present invention, the design template matched in step (f) may be a design template according to the first sequencing information in the selected lecture sequence.

In addition, the step (f) includes generating at least one learning entity and maintaining second sequencing information defining a connection method between learning entities; and granting second sequencing information according to the instructor's learning object connection selection information to the plurality of learning objects, wherein the second sequencing information is determined according to the measurement result after the understanding level is measured (post-test). A connection to at least one of supplemental learning, repetition learning, and next time learning may be defined.

Alternatively, the second sequencing information may define a connection to a learning entity classified according to difficulty according to a measurement result after a post-test of comprehension.

In the method according to the present invention, the lecture content received in step (e) includes asset data including at least one of text, image, flash, and video, and the connection relationship between the asset data and a plurality of asset data A step of generating meta data may be further included.

Meanwhile, the step (f) includes generating at least one learning object and integrating a plurality of learning objects into courseware; and generating meta data about the overall structure information of the integrated courseware, and maintaining third sequencing information defining a connection method for a plurality of courseware - the third sequencing information refers to course maps stored in the running operating system; and providing third sequencing information according to the instructor's selection to the plurality of coursewares.

Meanwhile, according to another aspect of the present invention, a recording medium on which a program for performing the above method is recorded is provided. On the other hand, according to another aspect of the present invention, a system in which an educational content providing server connected to an instructor terminal through a network provides educational content, wherein a plurality of design templates are stored to provide the educational content, and the plurality of design templates are stored. Lecture order selection information is received from a database storing a combination of one or more of the templates as a package according to first sequencing information defining an application order of design templates according to each lecture order and instructor terminal, and lecture contents according to the selected lecture order An educational content including an educational content providing server that transmits interface output control information for input, receives lecture content information from the instructor terminal, and matches the received lecture content information with a design template corresponding to the selected lecture sequence. A provisioning system is provided.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a method and system for providing educational content according to the present invention and a recording medium on which a program for implementing the method is recorded will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an educational content providing system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the educational contents providing system according to the present invention may include an educational contents providing server 106 and a database 108, and the educational contents providing server 106 is connected to an instructor terminal through a network.

(100), the learner terminal 102, and the manager terminal 104 can be connected.

Here, the network may include both wired networks including the Internet and leased lines and wireless networks including wireless Internet, mobile communication networks, and satellite communication networks.

In the drawing, the instructor terminal 100, the learner terminal 102, and the manager terminal 104 are shown as one, but this is only an example, and a plurality of terminals may be connected to each other.

Each terminal is a terminal capable of accessing a network and processing data related to educational contents, and may include a general desktop PC, a laptop computer, a mobile communication terminal, and a PDA.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the instructor terminal 100 is an educational content providing server through a network.

When accessing 106, the educational content providing server 106 performs a predetermined authentication process, and transmits interface output control information for inputting necessary items when the instructor requests creation of educational content Do it.

The browser installed in the instructor terminal 100 receives the interface output control information and displays it as shown in FIGS. 8 to 9, and the instructor can create educational content by entering necessary items in the interface. Contents necessary for metadata creation, such as the author of the content, upper and lower classification information, and course name, and lecture contents such as greeting, table of contents, summary of the text, introduction, main body, conclusion, and glossary can be included.

In general, in e-learning, a course may consist of a learning object, an activity connected with a plurality of learning objects, and a courseware including all of them.

A learning object is created independently as a single learning subject unit, and includes various multimedia materials such as sound, image, animation, and video (these multimedia materials are called assets), and when produced in html contains about 10 web pages, and includes about 20 to 30 minutes when produced as a video.

These learning objects include a series of learning processes, such as the start and end of learning, learning topics, related learning activities, and summary learning. Learning objects according to the SCORM standard are called SCO (Sharable Contents Object).

Conventionally, in order to create a learning object, which is the basic unit of a course, the instructor had to determine the order of class progress and select or self-produce web page designs. However, according to the present invention, the educational content providing server 106 The instructional sequence and design template designed for educational engineering are registered in advance, and when the instructor selects a specific lecture sequence, the design template corresponding to the corresponding lecture sequence is output to the instructor terminal 100 according to the first sequencing. make it possible

Here, the design template defines matters related to the layout, color menu, etc. in which lecture contents are included, and the first sequencing defines the order in which the design template is applied in a specific lecture sequence.

In the database according to the present invention, a combination of a plurality of design templates for each lecture sequence is stored as a package according to the first sequencing information.

In e-learning, since non-face-to-face learning takes place, the order of lectures is very important. The order of lectures may be, for example, as follows.

1) Lecture guide-Concept description-Case examples-Practice-Summary-Post test

2) Lecture guide-follow-up practice-content explanation-this practice-summary-post test

3) Pre test-Lecture guide-Theory explanation-Case examples-Summary-Post test

4) Review of the previous lecture-outline explanation-follow one by one-homework-post test

When educational contents are composed in a format that includes multiple web pages, each web page includes contents related to lecture guide, body, practice, summary, test, etc. It is desirable that the configuration (design) be different.

To this end, the educational content providing server 106 according to the present invention stores a combination of design templates as a package according to the first sequencing for a specific lecture sequence, and then the instructor selects one lecture sequence and provides the lecture contents. When input, design templates optimized for each part such as main body, practice, and summary are applied accordingly.

On the other hand, according to the present invention, the instructor's creation of lecture content can be done on a web basis. When the instructor selects the lecture order and design template and then wants to create the lecture content, the instructor's terminal 100 is shown in FIG. As such, an interface capable of generating a start screen, content description, video lecture, summary, pre test, and post test is output, and the educational content providing server 106 receives input from the instructor into the interface to design the template. Performs a process of matching a fleet with a set.

Here, the start screen interface is a screen where you can describe lecture introductions and learning methods, and the content description interface allows you to input items such as text input, image and flash insertion, and pre-registration corresponding to the lecture content (asset). let it be

The educational contents generated by the above matching process are stored in the database 108 after being composed of source and meta data.

Conventionally, in order to create educational content, a separate application is installed on the instructor's terminal and the educational content is created through the application. However, according to the present invention, the instructor's terminal 100 provides educational content only through a web browser. Since only necessary items need to be input to the interface provided by the server 106, educational contents can be conveniently created.

Meanwhile, in e-learning, it is important to connect a plurality of learning objects to each other. For example, after taking an hour of class, it can be important how to administer a test and how to relate to the next lecture.

The educational content server 106 according to the present invention stores and maintains the connection between a plurality of learning objects as second sequencing information, and when there is a teacher's selection on the learning object connection, the learning objects are connected to each other according to the selection information. make it possible to connect

In an offline lecture, the lecture continues regardless of whether the learner understands the contents of the lecture. This is a simple linear education method, and when applied to an online lecture, the learning efficiency may be greatly reduced.

Therefore, in the educational content providing server 106 according to the present invention, an instructor sets a learning achievement goal in advance before taking a class for one hour, and accordingly, a connection method for the next hour is stored in advance. This second sequencing information may include progress information to supplementary learning, repetitive learning, and next time learning according to the test result. For example, the second sequencing information sets the post test to be a perfect score of 10, and if it is 8 points or more, proceed to the next lecture, if it is 6 to 8 points, it is supplementary learning, and if it is less than 6 points, it is set to review or move to the previous class. As another example, if the score is 7 or more out of 10, proceed to the next lecture, if the score is 9 or more, move to the more difficult lecture, if the score is less than 7, proceed to the less difficult lecture, and if the score is less than 5, repeat. It can be set to learn.

Since it is very difficult for an instructor who produces educational contents to determine sequencing between learning objects by himself, the educational content providing server 106 according to the present invention provides preset second sequencing information so that the instructor can select an appropriate learning object. to determine the connection between them.

As described above, when an instructor creates a plurality of learning objects, they become courseware constituting one final course. As there is sequencing inside or between learning objects, it is important to define how to connect each courseware, and the educational content providing server 106 according to the present invention details how to connect each courseware Defines third sequencing, and when an instructor creates a plurality of courseware, a process of mapping each courseware to a preset course map and assigning third sequencing to each courseware may be performed.

As described above, learning objects, activities, and courseware can be classified into source and meta data, and meta data means information describing asset data.

According to the present invention, the educational content providing server 106 performs a process of automatically generating metadata at the time when the instructor creates and stores the educational content, and finally, when the creation of the educational content is completed, meta data for the entire structure information Performs the process of generating and integrating data.

In practice, manually entering metadata is a very difficult task for instructors who are not proficient in programming. In the case of automatic generation of metadata as in the present invention, instructors can create educational content in accordance with the SCORM standard and provide it to learners. There are advantages to being

In the database 108 according to the present invention, pre-generated design templates are stored, and instructor authentication information, learner authentication information, and meta data and source data related to educational contents created by the instructor are stored.

In addition, when the production of educational contents is completed, the design arbitrarily created by the instructor is converted into a database in the form of a template.

108, and other instructors can create their own educational contents using previously registered templates.
