Design And System Construction Of Web-based Chinese Language Teaching Material Database

In recent years, utilizing computer network to carry on e-learning become a kind of development trend of modern education. How to organize various kinds of existing teaching resource and to run them efficiently on the net is a tough work many technical staff focus on. It is obvious that resource construction becomes the pivotal part of modern education.On the basis of standardized research work on educational resource constructionhome and abroad, and according to basic elements of Chinese language as well, we have designed and developed the system of Web-based Chinese Language Teaching Material Database. This Material Database consists of 9 tables for Chinese characters, words, sentences, grammars, etc., containing various multimedia teaching materials like text, image, flash, audio and video files.Our efforts mainly focus on designing and realizing those 9 tables which constitute the Material Database. The design of every table has been ratified by experts in Chinese language teaching field . And every field of a table describes a certain attribute of the teaching resource according to CELTS-41. The content of every record, the presentation of the teaching resources in other words, accords with the Syllabus for Speciality of Chinese Language Teaching. These efforts lay a foundation for standardized construction work of Chinese language teaching resource.Then we realize system functions as to query, append, edit and audit teaching materials via web-based database. In this way, the Material Database is renewable and extendable, and can be developed and shared. We can use it on the net, as well as in the traditional classroom.The Material Database System mainly serves foreign student, Chinese language teacher, and material quality assessor under the management of system janitor. Thenetwork database part of our system is supported by SQL Server 2000 and visited via ASP technology. Users enjoy different visit authorities according to each identity. We fulfill distribution management on the net, and make our interface friendly.To be brief, we attempt to find out how to make full use of information technology, including network, multimedia, database, etc., and integrate all of them with the materials of Chinese language teaching. Further more, we designed and constructed a Web-based Chinese Language Teaching Material Database System featuring multifunction to query, append, edit and audit teaching materials.Through collecting the dispersed teaching materials, we do hope that we can provide more useful materials, increase the reusing rate of them and make some exploring attempts for the standardization of Chinese language teaching resource, thereby ultimately making educational resources searches more accurate and efficient, guaranteeing the quality of the resources and realizing the automatic creation of courseware.
