A teaching system design based on website of course theory and practice of futures

Abstract

In the 21st century online distance and open education has broken the concept of traditional education system, in which the hybrid teaching system based on website blending diversified interactive multimedia course resources with network can comply with the requirements of new times and has been playing a more and more important role. The features of futures determine that the course Theory and Practice of Futures, one of the financial curricula of Beijing Radio and Television University, is a difficult and practical financial subject with its imperative requirements of precise logic and skillful operation. In the past few years the course Theory and Practice of Futures has build up various multimedia interactive education resources gradually such as CAI courseware based on network, network course, course resources database, course cases and streamline course etc. It's necessary to design a new and optimal hybrid teaching system to congregate all the multimedia resources of course with the use of advanced computer technology. It's well known that the multimedia interactive teaching system based on .Net is a better choice to recompose learning resources and perform the responsibility of multimedia interactive teaching. But how to design and realize it is the key problem and should be researched, which is just the purpose of this paper. Based on Browser/Server operation module, making use of three tier structure of Microsoft .NET, that is, data tier, logic tier and representation tier, the paper presents the interactive multimedia teaching system of course platform selection and macro-design, concrete function design and realization. The research results has been typically used in financial courses education as an experiment with new teaching system and has achieved excellent effects, which proved that as a new method the design and module showed by the paper are practical and have great applying and promoting value. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
