网络教学平台的研究进展

Research progress of on-line instructional platform

网络教学平台是实施网络教学的技术基础。本文通过对现有主要网络教学平台软件的调查分析和相关文献调研,并结合自身的研究与实践,阐述了网络教学平台的发展与分类,详细讨论了辅助课程讲授的网络教学平台和面向协作活动的研究型教学平台的结构与功能,说明了网络教学平台的功能分析指标,讨论了网络教学平台设计与开发中需要考虑的三个主要问题,即:系统功能模块、系统架构和用户界面。文章最后提出了网络教学平台的发展趋势与研究热点。

On-line instructional platform is the technology basis to implement on-line instruction. Through investigation and analysis of the current principal on-line instructional platforms software and relative literature research, in combination of their own research and practice, the authors propose four developing phases undergone by on-line instructional platform. In accordance with the categories of on-line learning modes, the authors divide the platforms into two categories: one on-line instructional platform for assisting course presentation and another research-type instructional platform oriented to collaborative activities. Then, the authors take platform function analysis index proposed by EduTools as an example and makes initial approach on the platform function analysis index of the on-line instructional platform. This paper has also made analysis of the three main problems to be considered in on-line teaching platform design and development as systematic function modules, systematic framework and user interface. At the end, the authors summarize the latest developing trend and some research topics in the field of research and practice of on-line instructional platform.
