Problems existing in multimedia network teaching software in China at present

with the continuous development of human-computer interaction and multimedia technology, multimedia teaching software has broken through the traditional teaching methods, increased the interest and initiative of learning, compared with the information source relatively single book teaching has incomparable advantages, with the current Internet technology, will be different places of students and teachers connected together, broke the geographical and resource constraints. Therefore, the concept of multimedia teaching is gradually popular, the market demand is also growing steadily. In this prosperous situation, multimedia teaching software through the development of the primary stage, some problems and crises are gradually revealed.

　　

I. Low level of interaction

Why does multimedia differ so much from other media such as images, newspapers and books? because it is interactive. and is non-linear ——— in the excellent multimedia teaching software you can roam freely, use your own footsteps to absorb information. Interactivity is an important feature of multimedia teaching software.

The human-Computer Interaction design of multimedia teaching software can be divided into three levels: operational interaction, information interaction and intelligent interaction. Operational interaction refers to the implementation of the computer software and hardware operation of the command input and feedback, is the physical level of interaction, information interaction refers to the computer with the help of the information provided by the human and computer software interactive behavior, such as encyclopedia browsing, database query, all kinds of digital books, etc. is the interaction of the cognitive level of the language, in the intelligent interaction, the computer (or software) almost acquired the same "subject" status, can interact with the user's intelligent interaction, can understand the user's wishes, and thus screen, answer, ask and provide the necessary information, such as online discussion, interactive exercises, speech recognition, etc. It belongs to the cognitive-pragmatic level of interaction.

At present, many multimedia software products still do not go out of the traditional book page concept. The so-called interaction is to bother to ask users to click on the "Previous page", "next page". These software in the "multimedia" fashion banner, compared with traditional books, they do not have any advantages, not only lost the portability of books, comfort, long-time computer before the operation is to increase the user's visual fatigue. Its essence is the electronic version of the book. The interactive and non-linear advantages of multimedia are wasted and not fully utilized.

Although different levels of interaction can correspond to different stages of learning objectives and types of activities, such as in early childhood and primary education, easy-to-use operational interaction is sufficient and necessary, but throughout the current market many multimedia teaching software, its low technology content and lead to interactive inefficient but is indisputable fact, Especially in the higher teaching software, this problem appears more prominent.

In addition to the problem of technical force, it is important that the planning and positioning of multimedia software. For example, in the development of teaching software, software writers are often rich teaching experience of the old teachers, they have a lot of detailed teaching plans, but most of them lack of knowledge of computer and multimedia technology, thinking is limited by the traditional education, in this case, It is inevitable that the developed products are marked by a heavy traditional teaching mark.

It is an important way to improve the interactive level of multimedia teaching software to improve the technical content of products and break through the old thinking mode of software planning and development.

　　

Ii. low level of software interface design

Interface design is an important part of multimedia teaching software, and there are two extreme problems in the software interface of multimedia teaching software. Some people think that the interface is beautification and decoration, some people think that any modification of the interface is superfluous, is the function of the implementation of the obstruction. These two kinds of cognition directly lead to two kinds of results, the former has the form of the interface design fancy, the color is strong, the button and the layout is arbitrary, the latter is monotonous unrelieved, lacks the esthetic sense.

Different teaching content and different user groups on the interface design also have different needs, such as for students with poor cognitive ability, can use vivid Live to dial the picture and structure. such as: With a simple and elegant frame for the background, the text area has been hung on the wall of the copybook, supplemented by the dark yellow hue, so that learners like a graceful building in the body, arouse their interest in constant exploration. And for college students such an interface structure seems to be a little superfluous. A simple white background with a clear, logical assortment of information and information links is an effective way to inspire them to continue their deep interest.

In general, the understanding of the interface design of teaching software has yet to be improved, only to realize its role in software and its importance, to fully utilize and exert its function, so as to improve the quality and image of software products comprehensively.

　　

Third, product single

With the development of computer technology and the popularization of application, it is the mainstream of the future to study the form of computers as tools and "digitization". Driven by this trend, the public has made higher demands on multimedia teaching software from quantity to category and form.

The development of multimedia teaching software in our country starts from the students ' teaching software products, and most of the products developed are simply supplement and accessory of textbooks. Important markets, such as vocational training and family education, have not been fully developed. A few years ago, Beijing Hongen Software, "epoch-making computer science" series of multimedia teaching software, although the content is simple, but success, fully illustrates the software company to market-oriented, and constantly develop the importance of innovation.

　　

Iv. Piracy and networking

Rampant piracy is an important reason for domestic software enterprises to get into trouble, and it is also an important factor hindering the further development of the teaching software industry. Piracy has become a major scourge in the software market, seriously disrupting the normal development of this market.

It is known that enterprises in the software development process needs to invest a lot of capital and manpower, but piracy hinders the normal recovery of corporate funds. Piracy robbed the software developers more than 95% of the market, software companies do not have profits, many enterprises by the piracy market mercilessly swallowed. Many enterprises take price reduction, reduce product gold content to compete with piracy market profits. This vicious cycle ultimately makes the road of enterprises more and more narrow. The best way to combat piracy is to strengthen the country's guidance to the common people, increase the impact of piracy, and gradually establish and improve the relevant laws and regulations; On the other hand, enterprises should continue to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, in product development to pursue fine products, and strengthen the after-sales service of software products, and further enhance product value-added, Only in this way can we control piracy effectively.

With the rapid development of broadband Internet, stand-alone version of the teaching software is gradually transferred to the Internet, school, online learning, Learning Forum and other new forms of teaching are gradually developing and improving. Through networking, software companies not only save the software distribution and CD-ROM production and other costs, but also effectively control the phenomenon of piracy.

In recent years, China's information technology industry has developed rapidly, the development of excellent teaching software in the technical level has matured, the fiery domestic online game market is the best example. Now the main problem lies in the immature teaching software market, the market demand has not been well-mobilized and guided, a lot of social resources have not yet come into this industry. Fei-Mei Multimedia teaching software is the perfect upgrade of the traditional education industry and internet combination. Support Rich multi-media teaching and courseware management, can realize multi-party interactive, full network live and other teaching mode, compatible with the existing educational dedicated whiteboard and audio equipment, is a set of education in charge of units, schools, training institutions launched a long-distance interactive teaching software. It is believed that the multimedia teaching software of Fei-Mei will play an important role in the future education of China by virtue of its unique advantages.
