MULTIMEDIA NETWORK TEACHING SYSTEM
BaseView Multimedia Teaching System
- Enhance the knowledge and learning skills through the combination of multimedia teaching methods and network transmission technology.
- The exchange of content over the network, in a transparent and instantaneous way, actively enriches teaching.
INTRODUCTION
Why would a computer lab need a “multimedia teaching system”?
- Computer lab differs from the traditional classroom in a teaching environment
In the traditional computer lab, the teacher usually faces the back of students’ monitors and can hardly grasp students’ learning situation and progress. Students with less computer operation experience may not keep up with the teaching progress or even cause system error or crash by improper operation. Relatively, some students may not follow the lecture or demonstration and use the time to play around the computer, play games, surf the Internet, chat online, etc. - It is difficult to deliver a computer course with a black or whiteboard
It is not easy for teachers to specifically express the graphical user interface and operating command through black/whiteboard and verbal explanation. Students can be distracted by the fancy computer screen in this teaching model. In addition, a computer course is not just for the absorption of knowledge but also requires students to practice. - The multimedia network teaching method is more suitable for teaching activities than a projector.
The projector often requires adjustments depending on the classroom environment. In large classrooms, part of the students may not see the projected screen clearly. Besides, students can be easily distracted by their own monitors and do not focus on the projected teaching materials. Comparing with the teaching method by presenting teaching materials through a projector, the implementation of teaching system in multimedia network teaching environment can transfer various teaching contents (e.g. voice explanation in lecture, the screen of the operated computer, annotations by ePointer, the image of live camera and contents of multimedia files) to student PCs. Students sitting on their own seats can watch the complete lecture contents. At the same time, since the student’s keyboard and mouse can be locked, they can only concentrate on the lecture, or watch the demonstration in a window and do practices at the same time so that they won’t fall behind. - Functional diversification of computer teaching can be achieved in a multimedia (audio/video) network computer lab.
With the teaching system, the video and audio of the computer course can be transferred to all Student PCs simultaneously. Students no longer have to squeeze in front of a small monitor to watch the teacher’s demonstration. The teacher’s voice can be clearly heard at each Student PC. The lecturing of computer course can eliminate the space occupied by computer hardware and improve the teaching effectiveness. - Best use of software and hardware equipment.
In a multimedia network teaching environment, the integration of computer and multimedia teaching contents can achieve the effectiveness of computer-aided teaching for not only computer courses but also courses in other subjects. Various teaching resources on the Internet or school network can be accessed in a networked computer lab and so can other teaching software or digital files. The software and hardware equipment of schools can be efficiently used and shared.
COMPARISON
Traditional Teaching Method vs. Multimedia Teaching Method
For the traditional teaching method in a computer lab, the most commonly used equipment in the early years is blackboard and whiteboard. Some computer labs are equipped with a large TV or projector. However, students in the back seats may barely see the screen due to the distance. Using a projector in the classroom, the teacher usually needs to keep turning the light on and off and adjusts the size of the projected area. Thus, the traditional oral teaching method can’t fulfill the needs of modern education for audio-visual interaction. Students can hardly operate while watching regardless of using television and projector for computer teaching. They can also be distracted by their own screen and don’t pay attention to the lecture.
Compared to teaching with the aid of a television or projector, a multimedia network teaching environment can transmit the images and digital teaching materials from the teacher’s screen to the students’ display. Students can clearly see the entire lecture from their own monitor. At the same time, the teacher can choose to lock the student PCs’ keyboard and mouse in order to limit students’ attention to the lecture. The teacher can also broadcast the lecture in window mode so that students can operate their PCs while watching the teacher’s demonstration and will not miss out on any step.
With the rapid development of information education, the traditional computer teaching method can hardly meet today’s demand. There has been a significant change in teaching methods. Network communication technology has been generally applied to teaching methods while multimedia teaching materials have been used in teaching content. The multimedia network environment can enhance the teaching and learning effectiveness in the computer lab.
BaseView offers many teaching tools lacking in the traditional teaching method and enhances the teaching and learning processes. Below is a comparison between the traditional teaching method at a computer lab and the multimedia teaching method applied with BaseView:
Category | Traditional Teaching Method at Computer Lab | Multimedia Teaching Method with BaseView |
Lecturing | Demonstrate the process of the teacher’s operation through a projector or a large TV. As computer equipment takes considerable space between rows in the classroom, students sitting in the back may barely hear the lecture or see the demonstration. | The teacher can transfer the lecturing voice, the screen of computer operation, the annotations marked in the whiteboard, the live photography, and the multimedia teaching materials to student PCs through the “Voice Broadcast” function. All students can clearly hear the lecture regardless of the distance to the teacher. |
Notes Taking | The teacher writes on blackboard or whiteboard with chalk or board pen. Those students with poor eyesight or in a distance may not see contents on the board clearly. | With “Screen Broadcast” and “ePointer” functions, students can observe clearly what the teacher writes from their own monitor. |
Learning Supervision | During student practice, the teacher must leave his or her seat and walk around in the computer classroom in order to supervise the student’s practice status. | With the “Monitoring” function, the teacher can supervise each student’s learning status without leaving his or her seat. |
Tutoring | When a student has a problem in the operation of the computer, the teacher must approach that student’s seat in order to pursue individual guidance. When multiple students need the teacher’s help, the teacher must walk back and forth between different seats in the classroom. | For those students who fall behind in course works or ask questions, the teacher can pursue individual guidance from Teacher PC by using “Remote Control”, “ePointer”, “Send Message” and “Voice Broadcast” functions. |
Classroom Discussion | In the event of a student asking questions, teacher-student interactions, or free discussions, the computer classroom is noisy. This will affect the learning of other students. | Discussion can be pursued in an orderly manner without affecting other students through “Voice Broadcast”, “Intercom”, “Send Message” and “Electronic Hands-Up”. |
Review | For the teacher’s computer operation, if students do not catch well or fall behind, they can’t make up or review the missed lessons. | The teacher can use the “Screen Recording” function to record the lecture as a multimedia file and send it to students for review purposes. |
Lesson Make-Up | After class, those students who were absent can’t make up the missed lesson. | With the “Screen Recording” function, the teacher can record the lecture and the computer demonstration as a video file which allows students to make up a missed lesson. |
Roll Call | The teacher needs to spend class time conducting a roll call in order to understand the status of student attendance. | With the “Roll Call” function, the teacher can instantly complete a roll call. This saves time for taking attendance. |
Demonstration | Equipment such as TV or projector is implemented in the computer classroom. Students may still not see the projected contents clearly due to distance or poor projection quality. | Functions such as “Screen Broadcast” or “Video Broadcast” can accomplish multimedia demonstrations and enable students to see the lecture and demonstration from their own monitor. |
