Based On The The Edutainment Thinking Network Courseware Design And Applied Research

With the rapid development of computer technology and network communication technique, network courseware springs up like mushrooms. Courseware can be seen everywhere in every major education website, however, what these coursewares present is just things that copyed from books. Inadequate learning resource, lacking in interactive function and negative learning enviroment seriously reduce learners' learning interest when using these coursewares. They tend to play online games, go on video chat and watch online movies. The digital entertainment industry has an increasing prominent influence on education. Some learners become so addicated to them that they couldn't control themselves with the consequence of neglecting their studies and wasting their precious youth, which brings unharmonious factors to our society. Hence, designing a courseware, which combines autonomous study, real situation and collaborative learning smoothly and naturally, in the guidance of "Entaertainment-teaching thought", become inevitable. It fully considers the features of entertainment and can continuously arouse learners' interests. The theory of Entertainment-teaching, based on respecting and admitting learners' present values of life, provides a new perspective to understand and solve the contradiction between teaching and entertainment.As the courseware, which is based on Entertainment-teaching thought, is gradually promoting teaching revolution. A new mode of network teaching and learning is taking shape, but still there are differences in the design of courseware between this new mode one and the traditonal one.Based on the definition of Entertainment-teaching thought, this article made a discussion on the general description of Entertainment-teaching thought, definition and characteristics of network courseware with the thought of Entertainment-teaching. Focusing on the design principles of network courseware with the thought of Entertainment-teaching, it emphasizes that the design principles of network courseware should include scientific principle, interactive principle, interesting principle and artific principle. It should well organize the structure of network courseware to chieve the harmony of entertainment and teaching. At last, it should show the perfect unity of content and form to learners, presenting students the realm of studying from playing and playing in studying.Based on that, this ariticle attempts to develop English network courseware for primary schools under the guidance of Entertainment teaching. And it illustrated the key technology, the application and evaluation of courseware. There is no doubt that it will play the role of "Use the little to get the big" in strenghtening the research of Entertainment-teaching skills and thought as well as promoting the design and application of network courseware with the thought of Entertainment-teaching.
