The Development Of A Network-based Courseware For Design Of Reinforced Concrete Structures

As a method of modern education, computer-assisted instruction (CAI) has extended its application to many kinds of disciplines. The types of CAI appear in various characteristics. CAI at present is leading the way to combining teaching with multimedia, network and intelligence.Now, network CAI is on its exploring period in our country, people is trying to produce courseware from different aspects. With the development of network, CAI in college will become a significant method to teach students. In this thesis, we discuss the principle, technique and method of designing network-courseware on reinforced concrete structures, to provide technique support for more CAI of specialties.The thesis is composed mainly of three parts:The first part includes what CAI is, the history of CAI in brief and why to develop the network-courseware for Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures.The second part mainly points out the features that belong to network-courseware, the theories which are used to direct network-courseware development, including the theory of weaving curriculum and the theory of design teaching. It is emphasized that the successful development to a network-courseware should depends on setting the learning level of network-courseware's users, selecting teaching content, determining the knowledge points and designing the script as well. The most important thing in developing a network-courseware is that network-based multimedia technology must serve for teaching.The last part explains how to develop the network-courseware for Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures. It describes Dreamweaver software that is adopted as developing network-courseware platform, the way to determine and use every kinds of the material involved in this network-courseware, the methods to use multimedia technology to show teaching contents correctly.
