Features: Multimedia CAI courseware production is a fundamental teaching skill for every teacher. This book introduces the methods and techniques of creating primary school mathematics courseware through diagrams and examples. Due to its innovative writing style, which directly annotates operational steps in the diagrams, the book significantly reduces reading difficulty and is bound to be well-received by educators. The book is divided into four chapters: Creating PowerPoint Courseware, Creating Authorware Courseware, Creating Flash Courseware, and Creating Integrated Courseware. It is aimed at beginners and intermediate users and can be used for self-study by primary school mathematics teachers or as a reference book for teaching in teacher training institutions. The accompanying CD-ROM includes not only the examples and related materials from the book but also carefully selected primary school mathematics teaching courseware and production materials for reference and use by educators. The courseware and materials collected in this CD-ROM are for educational and research purposes only and may not be used for commercial purposes or reproduced and distributed.
Monotonous teaching methods make the classroom lack vitality, and the heavy academic burden leaves students exhausted. Educational reform is imperative. Computer-assisted instruction not only enriches teachers' teaching methods, making classroom content more vivid and intuitive, but also enhances students' interest in learning, helping them to concentrate better and work more efficiently. Computer-assisted instruction is a key area of current educational reform, especially in teaching methodology, and its application is becoming increasingly widespread.
This series of "Picture-Based Courseware Creation" books primarily introduces how to create courseware to assist teaching. In terms of content, it focuses on selecting teaching cases that align with the new curriculum reform philosophy, meticulously designing teaching methods, and showcasing the results of in-depth research on teaching materials and methods. In terms of form, it adopts a predominantly visual approach with supplementary text, making it easy for readers to learn and apply. To facilitate learning, additional sections such as "Knowledge Window" and "Hands-on Practice" are included in some chapters, enabling readers to gain a comprehensive understanding and mastery of the software's knowledge, skills, and techniques.
The series is organized by subject, with each volume containing four chapters. The first three chapters introduce the methods of creating courseware using currently popular software such as Flash MX, Authorware 7.0, and PowerPoint XP, while the fourth chapter covers the integration of these software tools for courseware creation. Primary School Mathematics Courseware Creation: Three-in-One systematically introduces the methods and techniques of creating primary school mathematics courseware using the aforementioned software. The book includes 39 primary school mathematics examples, all of which are key teaching topics in primary school mathematics. The accompanying CD-ROM provides the source code and compiled applications for these courseware examples, as well as all the primary school mathematics teaching content examples. Readers can directly apply these examples to their teaching or modify them to create courseware with their own teaching style.
The authors of this book are primarily education and computer-assisted instruction researchers and frontline teachers with extensive experience in writing educational and computer-assisted instruction books.
