It is a full-featured multimedia development tools, text, images, animation, sound, video and other media into one, and included in the interactive control to ultimately generate independently run multimedia playback program (program)
Two, PowerPoint
PowerPoint is one of the components of Microsoft Office series, is a slide show production tool. PowerPoint is one of the components of the Microsoft Office series, is a slide production tool. Because it edits multimedia functions are relatively powerful, easy to learn, so many teachers are PowerPoint to start making courseware. PowerPoint built-in rich animation, transition effects and a variety of sound effects, and has a powerful hyperlink function, you can directly transfer the external file, to meet the general teaching requirements. PowerPoint is easy to use, and supports the two major advantages of IE browser, is the most obvious. But PowerPoint's animation is a bit hard, monotonous, interactive features are actually hyperlinks, for the higher requirements of interactivity courseware is not enough.
Three, AuthorWare
AuthorWare is a more widely used platform for courseware creation tools, its most important feature is the creation of an icon based on the creation of a visible process through the entire process of courseware production, clear and orderly. We only need to 13 kinds of icons (in fact, the most commonly used is 12 kinds of video icons are not commonly used) for drag and drop and set up, you can complete the development of ordinary courseware, without having to write too much program code. AuthorWare built-in transition effects (using plug-ins, you can produce more effects), 5 kinds of basic animation features, if you can flexibly apply to meet the requirements of ordinary courseware on the animation. AuthorWare's soul is its powerful interactive features and function libraries, 11 interactive ways to make it easy to realize a variety of interactive effects as you wish, a wealth of functions to give us wings. However, AuthorWare's support for multi-channel audio is not ideal, and the icons and many functions are sometimes cumbersome, so it is not easy to really utilize AuthorWare to develop excellent courseware.
Founder Auth
Founder Auth Multimedia Creation Tool (FOUNDER AUTHOR TOOL) is a visual, interactive multimedia integrated creation tool researched and developed by the Printing Division of Founder Electronics Co. Founder AUTHOR TOOL can run in Chinese Windows95/98/me/NT 4.0/2000 environment, with intuitive, simple and friendly user interface. It can integrate and edit multimedia materials such as text, graphics, images, sound, animation and video to produce various multimedia application products. It supports rich media playback, transition effects and dynamic effects, and can realize flexible interactivity; it can make path animation; it supports variables and system functions, and can be used to write simple script programs and have multimedia database management functions. The created products can generate EXE files and run directly under the operating system. It has the function of generating web pages, but some functions will be limited when generating web pages. The popular version and above can be upgraded for free.
V. Courseware Master
Courseware Master is a courseware creation tool produced by Wuhan Van Gogh Software Company. Courseware Master, that is, the Montague Yaoguang multimedia authoring system. Now the more popular version of the "Master Courseware II" that is, Yao Guang 3.0. The software provides a visualized Chinese interface, through which it will be able to sound, animation, images, and text and other media integrated together, and control, and ultimately generate an independently executable screening program. Courseware Master supports many multimedia formats such as Gif, Flash, MP3, etc., and comes with rotation and track animation features. It is based on page sequences like OSI, but it differs from OSI by creating the design idea of sub-pages. Courseware Master II genuine software price is very low (only about 150 yuan), and with some of the courseware production materials, more suitable for teachers to use for personal use, but this version does not enjoy free upgrade service.
VI, Guangzhou Kaidi
Kaidi multimedia authoring tools, is a multimedia development tools developed by Guangzhou Kaidi Software Co. In many multimedia authoring system is a red apricot: not only completely free of programming, easy to operate, powerful animation features, self-creative ability to create a strong, straightforward education actually have a scoreboard (automatic statistics score) and other functions. And the packaged file takes up very little storage space, fast running speed. But the integration function is weak, some multimedia formats such as MP3, Flash, the system can not support.
Seven, Dirctor and Flash
Dirctor and Flash and AuthorWare are Macromedia products, Flash and Dirctor's most important feature is the animation function and interactive features. It is also a commonly used tool for making courseware, which is slightly difficult to learn because it is foreign software.
In summary, AuthorWare, Director and other foreign large-scale multimedia authoring tools is a little difficult to make use of these tools to create courseware is the vast majority of computer teachers and some of the backbone of the subject teachers. Although these development tools than the use of high-level language (such as C language, Visual Basic language) is much more convenient, to some extent, to alleviate the tedious "bottom" design pain. But these development tools are English software (all Chinese version, but all reference books are written for the English version), coupled with each software provides a richer function and scripting language, so it is not very suitable for beginners to create courseware to use. And Ao Si, Kaidi, courseware masters and other domestic multimedia development tools, there is a *** with the same characteristics: the country's own products, powerful, direct educational reality, easy to operate, creation of high efficiency and quality (of course, also includes domestic Hongtu, Yi Si and other multimedia authoring tools, will not repeat here), and is therefore more suitable for teachers of the general subject use. Vigorously advocate the use of these domestic software, which not only breaks the foreign multimedia authoring platform to rule the world of courseware production situation, but also for the majority of teachers to find a shortcut to courseware production. May these excellent domestic software can become our primary and secondary school teachers to produce courseware "tool"!
VIII, Geometry Drawing Board and mathematical platform
"Geometry Drawing Board" and "mathematical platform" and other software to bring mathematical experiments, they provide a very ideal for students to actively explore the issue of "do math" environment, students can use it to do mathematical experiments, so that in the process of problem solving, understanding and mastering the abstract In this way, students can understand and master abstract mathematical concepts in the process of problem solving, so that students can obtain real mathematical experience, not just some abstract mathematical conclusions.
There have already been some useful attempts in this regard. In the summer of 1995, two American junior high school sophomores (David Goldeheim and Dan Litchfiled) applied the Geometry Board to discover yet another way to arbitrarily equate line segments; a student at the Northeast Yucai School discovered the Generalized Butterfly Theorem. Putting aside the significance of the problems themselves, the process by which they approached them (guessing, verifying, arguing) is a revelation for our math teaching.
The Mathematical Platform is a courseware creation tool similar to Geometry Drawing Board launched by Nanjing Jinhua Ke Software Co. In addition to having a "Geometry Drawing Board" similar to the drawing and metric functions, but also its own features: has its own design language (you can use these codes to create a better, more powerful courseware), can generate executable files (packaged courseware can be detached from the Numerical Platform system and run independently), the professional version of the network can be classroom, and so on.
"Geometry board", "mathematics and science platform" and "Z + Z intelligent education platform" and other software, straight to the mathematics (including physics) subject of the actual, not only to assist in teaching a good tool, but also for students to conduct mathematical experiments in a good tool, the computer stronger graphic processing capabilities for the discovery of mathematics learning provides the possibility of its dynamic context can be for the students to "do" mathematics to provide the necessary tools. The dynamic context can provide the necessary tools and means for students to "do" mathematics, so that students can independently explore the "problem space" to do "mathematical experiments". Teachers can give more exploration, analysis and thinking tasks to students to complete.
Category II:
We know that the most basic prerequisite for creating a courseware is to have a sharp tool for creating courseware. At present, there are quite a few kinds of software to produce courseware, the following for some simple introduction. If you are about to learn how to create courseware, it is best to look at the following first.
