Design,Development And Application Research Of Smart Teaching Platform "WECO Classroom "Based On WeChat Small Applet

Under the rapid development of the Internet, "Internet + Education" has became a new hot spot in education informatization reform of China.Since 2012,MOOC and blended learning have developed rapidly in China and have caused great repercussions in the field of higher education.But with the rapid development of MOOC,some problems have arisen: 1)Students' poor learning initiative on the Internet leads to low completion rates;2)Less interaction between teachers and students leads to poor learning outcomes for learners;3)MOOC-based e-learning makes learners lack of real learning experience and leads to low participation;On the MOOC platform,there is a lack of c MOOC learning mode based on inquiry and practice.The platform is mostly x MOOC,which is mainly based on recording video and after-school small test.The teaching form is single.The MOOC platform can compensate for these problems to some extent through the combination of online and offline.In May 2014,the UOOC alliance of local universities was established with Shen Zhen university as the main initiator,among which three MOOC courses developed by the department of education technology of Shen Zhen university have been carried out for nine semesters up to now through the combination of online courses and MOOC offline meeting.In order to help teachers better carry out and organize classroom teaching activities in college MOOC offline meeting,it can effectively make up for the problem of difficult interaction between teachers and students on MOOC platform,low student participation and poor learning effect.This study attempts to design and develop a smart teaching platform based on We Chat Small applet "WECO Classroom" through the theoretical guidance of educational technology and the concept of blended learning mode.The source is a combination of We Chat and Cooperation.By using the “WECO Classroom”,teachers can manage classroom more easily,learners can format group and make collaborative learning more effectively,have more interactive classroom,have higher participation rates in class activities,and receive feedback timely after class activities.Thereby achieving better teaching results.It is hoped that through the application of educational technology theory and emerging technologies,information technology and traditional classrooms will be better combined to build a c MOOC-based classroom culture that is characteristic of Shenzhen University,and will be promoted to other universities in continuous improvement.At the same time,after the "WECO Classroom" has matured,its use range is not limited to the MOOC offline meeting,but is applied to more different stages of teaching scenarios to help teachers better teach.In this study,the author has done the following three main tasks: 1)Investigate the research background and development status of blended learning,MOOC,and We Chat Small applet-based smart teaching platform,and formulate ideas and methods by combing relevant concepts and theoretical foundations.2)Design and development of smart teaching platform "WECO Classroom" based on wechat small applet: Firstly,the demand analysis of the smart teaching platform“WECO Classroom” based on We Chat small applet is carried out from two aspects: functional requirements and website management requirements,as the premise and basis of development.Then the system architecture design of the smart teaching platform based on We Chat applet was carried out.Finally,the environment construction and key technologies of the smart teaching platform based on We Chat applet are described,and on this basis,develops and implements various practical functions of the smart teaching platform,including authorizing users,obtaining user information,and intelligent group.Main functions such as work sharing,group multi-dimensional real-time mutual evaluation,game answering,and ranking.3)In the offline meeting course of MOOC course “Network Animation Design Flash(Professional)" and “Database Principles and Applications",two practical courses offered by the education technology department of shenzhen university,the blended learning mode of "WECO Classroom",a smart teaching platform based on We Chat small applet,was applied.The research shows that the "WECO Classroom" smart teaching platform based on We Chat small applet helps to improve the classroom interaction and classroom participation between teachers and students.It also has good teaching effects and has been widely recognized by teachers and students.However,whether the “WECO Classroom” has a universal teaching effect in the process of blended teaching application,due to the limitation of time and course type,this study needs to explore in more practices.
