Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of using teaching materials (digital contents) such as moving images, still images, and documents in digital files, and more particularly, to the use of digital contents for using lectures and lecture plans (syllabus). A method and a digital content utilization system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a plurality of digital contents stored in a server are used by a teacher in a lecture, files stored in a server computer are individually selected by specifying a file name from a client terminal. It is necessary to start the application of each selected file, display the file on the display screen, and give a lesson. However, to date, the use of digital content data for lectures has been performed only for specific lecture subjects by the teacher's individual ingenuity. For example, a systematic and flexible method of using digital content or a system of using digital content, such as freely using various digital content data for a lecture or a lecture, has not been developed.

There is also a lecture plan called a lecture plan (syllabus) which describes a curriculum of a lecture. This lecture plan is a material for students to know what the lecture is about when taking the lecture. However, it is usually difficult for students to grasp the contents of lectures based on the content of this material alone.

[0004]

As described above, when a teacher uses a plurality of digital contents stored in a specific computer for a lesson, the user specifies a file of the digital content to be used and specifies the specified file. It is necessary to start the application every time and use the digital contents of the file for the lesson. However, in this case, in order according to the progress of the lecture,
There arises a problem that required digital contents cannot be displayed at required timing. In terms of teaching material management, teachers themselves create hierarchical folders on a hard disk or the like, and freely assign and manage file names to be registered. However, there are various file names such as class names and category names (chemistry, biology, etc.), and at present, it takes a long time to prepare a lecture to use which teaching material for which class.

[0005] In addition, when a student takes a lecture subject by a lecture plan (syllabus) which plans a curriculum of the lecture, the student reads an outline of the lecture in the lecture plan and finds out what kind of content the lecture subject has. You have to judge. However, at this time, it is extremely difficult for the student to imagine the contents of the lecture because the student cannot see the teaching materials such as moving images, still images, and documents actually used in the lecture.

[0006] In an actual lecture, the teacher uses a teaching material such as a moving image, a still image, or a document to advance the lecture so that the student can easily understand the contents of the lecture. Since the user concentrates on taking notes while viewing the displayed lecture contents, there is also a problem that it is difficult to fully understand the lecture contents.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a teaching material such as a moving image, a still image, or a document, which is digitized from a browser, on a screen or the like on a campus LAN or the Internet by using a server / client configuration from a browser. Students can view and develop the contents according to the progress, and students can obtain digital contents to be used for lectures on the browser from the lecture plan (syllabus) as well as teachers, and can browse before and after lectures An object of the present invention is to provide a digital content using method and a digital content using system.

[0008]

According to the present invention, WWW server technology and database technology are used on a server-client system. A browser is used for the client. Campus LAN as communication network
Or the Internet by using a public line or the like. Registration and registration of digital content teaching materials and lecture plan (syllabus) contents
Deletion, search, and circulation are all performed from the browser.

A digital content utilization system according to the present invention includes a server storing digital content data, a client terminal using the digital content data, and a network connecting the server and the client terminal. This is a digital content utilization system used for lectures and lecture planning.

The server includes a lecture plan database in which data on lectures and lecture plans are registered. The lecture plan database includes a teaching affairs plan table, a subject-specific lecture table, and a teaching material management table.

The educational affairs plan table is created by registering data relating to the educational affairs plan among the data registered in the database of the office work system.

The subject-specific lecture table is created by referring to the educational affairs plan table and registering data relating to the lecture content of each lecture subject in the lecture plan and identification information of digital content data designated as reference data. Is done.

The teaching material management table is generated by referring to the teaching affair plan table and registering management information for managing digital content data used as a teaching material for a lecture subject registered in the teaching affair plan table.

When a teacher or a student tries to browse desired digital contents based on information on a lecture and a lecture plan registered in a teaching plan table on a client terminal, the information on the lecture and the lecture plan are searched for. The identification information of the digital content data corresponding to the search condition is searched from the teaching material management table, and the digital content data specified by the searched identification information is displayed and browsed.

When a teacher wants to display digital content data registered as reference material of a lecture on a display device at a client terminal during lectures registered in the lecture plan table, the lecture subjects Is used as a search condition, a reference material is retrieved from the subject-specific lecture table, and digital content data designated by the identification information of the retrieved reference material is displayed on the display device. (Normally, since reference materials are registered as teaching materials, in that case, the teaching material folder is searched from the teaching material management table using the subject as a search condition, and the digital material specified by the identification information of the searched teaching material folder. The digital content files listed in the content folder are displayed on the display device.) In this manner, a systematic and flexible digital content utilization system is realized, and the above-described object of the present invention is achieved. You.

[0016]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a lecture plan registered in a card format. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a lecture plan database described in a table format. In the following description, the digital content utilization system of the present invention is referred to as a lecture system. A display format for describing a database as a set of single forms as shown in FIG. 1 is referred to as a card format or a single format, and a display format for displaying a database with records as rows and items as columns is described. Described as table format or list format. By switching the display format, ordinary database software can arbitrarily display the same set of data in either a card format or a table format. 3 and 4 to be described later are in a card format.

In the card format, the attributes and related items of a specific item are collectively displayed. Therefore, when a teacher registers an outline of a lecture or the contents of a lecture type in a database of a server, the card format is used. It is convenient. When the student wants to know the contents of the lecture of the subject xx of the teacher A, the identification information of the text file or the image file describing the contents of the lecture is searched by using the subject xx described in the card format as a key. be able to. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a teacher registers a teaching material or displays a teaching material while a class is in progress,
When a student wants to view data on the contents of a lecture, the information on the teaching material or the data is displayed in a card format as a lecture plan card. This lecture plan card is displayed on the server page read on the display screen of the client terminal.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment as well, data retrieval is performed on a table-type database, similarly to ordinary database software. In the present embodiment, a table format is used when registering (copying) data necessary for a lecture and a lecture plan registered in the database of the office work system in the lecture plan database. As described above, the table format has the advantage that the data is arranged in rows and columns with records (rows) and items (fields) as columns, so that it is easy to specify the position of registered data on the database. is there. Therefore, when registering data registered at a certain position on the database of the office work system at a designated position on the lecture plan database, it is extremely easy to associate the registered positions of the data on both databases. . This is particularly important when the registration process is performed automatically. In the following description, the process of registering data registered in the database of the business system in the lecture plan database is referred to as data conversion. In the present embodiment, automatic data conversion is performed by displaying the database in a table format.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lecture plan (syllabus) includes, as shown in FIG. 1, educational plan data describing a plan related to the educational affairs such as the subject, teacher name, textbook, class, classroom, lecture date / time, and the like. The lectures are broadly divided into lecture outlines that describe the outline of lectures, and lectures by subject. The subject-specific lecture describes a lecture schedule, a lecture outline, reference materials, and the like for each week or the number of lectures, and a lecture content to be developed according to the lecture schedule.

Among them, subjects, classes, classrooms, credits, teacher names, and the like are items related to educational affairs (clerical work relating to student education), and data relating to educational affairs plans (schedule relating to educational affairs, for example, class timetables) are stored in a database of an office system Is incorporated into the lecture plan database by data conversion. By this data conversion, the user table, the subject table, and the syllabus table of FIG. 2 are automatically generated. The user table, the subject table, and the syllabus table can also be registered by manually inputting them from the server.

Each record of the user table, the subject table, and the syllabus table has fields of items 1 to 6. Items 1, 2, 3, 4,
In the fields 5 and 6, the user ID, name, user type, affiliated department, affiliated department, and entrance year are registered by the data conversion. For example, item 1 is 23, item 2 is Yamada Taro, item 3 is a teacher, and item 4 and item 5 are engineering department and electronic engineering department, respectively. In this case, item 6 is blank.

Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
In 6, the curriculum year, the subject code, the unit code, the affiliated department, the affiliated department, and the required division code are registered by data conversion. For example, in connection with the above-mentioned lecture by Professor Taro Yamada, item 1 contains 1999/2 (late 1999) and item 2 contains the code number L of computer theory.
3, item 3 is the number of credits in computer theory 4, item 4 and item 5 are the faculty to which the subject of lecture belongs, the faculty of engineering, which is the department to which the student belongs, code of metalworking, and item 6 is a required code 1.
Is registered.

Items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the syllabus table related to the user table and the subject table
The syllabus ID, the subject code, the class, and the day of the week and the day of the week are registered in the syllabus ID, the subject code, the class, the day / time, the lecture outline, and the textbook. . The syllabus ID of item 1 is automatically generated based on a combination of a subject code and a class. If the textbook used for the lecture is registered in the database of the office system in advance, the textbook is registered in item 6.

In the syllabus table relating to the above-mentioned lecture by Professor Taro Yamada, item 2 has the same subject code L3 as item 2 in the above-mentioned subject table, and item 3 has C (the same class subject is often taken by students). In this case, a plurality of classes are organized, and the student is allowed to select one of the classes.) In item 4, the second term of Wednesday is registered. Item 5 is blank at the time immediately after data conversion because it is not a matter managed by the educational affairs (it is not a matter registered in the database of the office work system). In item 6, a text is registered as a textbook.

Of the above tables, item 2 of the user table, item 2 of the subject table, item 3, item 4, and item 6 of the syllabus table correspond to the fields "teacher name" and " , "Class", "date / time limit", and "textbook", data is automatically written into all fields of the educational plan by the data conversion. The data in the “classroom” field of the educational affairs plan is automatically generated by a combination of the data of “class” and the data of “date, time limit”. The user table, the subject table, and the syllabus table in FIG. 2 constitute a teaching plan table.

The subject-specific lecture plan table and reference material table of FIG. 2 are created with reference to the above-mentioned teaching affairs plan table (user table, subject table, and syllabus table), and correspond to the subject-specific lecture of FIG. The subject-specific lecture plan table and the reference material table are each composed of four fields of item 1 to item 4. Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, and Item 4 of the subject-specific lecture plan table are fields for registering a syllabus ID, a week number, a lecture theme, and a theme outline, respectively. Item 1
Is automatically generated based on item 1 of the syllabus table. Item 2, Item 3, and Item 4 are linked to "Week", "Lecture Theme", and "Lecture Outline" in FIG. 1, respectively. Therefore, when the lecture plan card in FIG. Is also automatically generated.

The reference material table is configured with reference to a subject-specific lecture plan table. Items 1 and 2 in the reference material table are items 1 and 2 in the lecture plan table by subject
Is the same as Item 3 is a field for registering the file ID of the reference material. This file ID is specified when the reference of the subject-specific lecture in FIG. 1 is input. The update date of item 4 is automatically generated by the server computer.
The subject-specific lecture plan table and the reference material table constitute a subject-specific lecture table.

In the lecture plan displayed on the card display of FIG. 1, the lecture outline and the lecture by subject remain blank after the data conversion. When the instructor manually enters the lecture outline (syllabus) of the lecture plan of FIG. 1 and the lecture by subject, the lecture plan table by subject of FIG. 2 is automatically generated with reference to the user table, the subject table, and the syllabus table. You. Note that the arrow in FIG. 2 indicates reference.

The teaching material folder table, the teaching material individual table, and the teaching material table of FIG. 2 constitute a teaching material management table.
It is configured with reference to the educational plan table. The teaching material management table manages teaching materials (digital content data) relating to lecture subjects registered in the teaching affairs plan table.

The teaching material folder contains one or a plurality of teaching material files in order to hierarchically organize and hold the teaching material files (digital content data used as teaching materials). In the teaching material folder table, management information of the teaching material folder is registered.

Items 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the teaching material folder table are fields for registering a teaching material utilization ID, a teaching material folder number, a teaching material folder name, and a teaching material ID, respectively. The teaching material utilization ID of item 1 is automatically generated by a combination of the user ID of the user table and the subject code of the syllabus table. The teaching material folder No. of item 2 is automatically generated at the same time when the learning material folder is generated. Item 3
Is linked to the “folder name” in FIG. 3 (described later), so that when the card display in FIG. 3 is manually inserted, the teaching material folder name is automatically generated.

Regarding the teaching material ID, the digital content designated by the teaching material ID is the same as the digital content designated by the file name in FIG. However, while the “file name” in FIG. 3 specifies the digital content file itself, the teaching material ID is
This is an ID for searching using lecture content as a key. The reason why the same digital content is designated by a file name or a file ID or by a teaching material ID is that the same digital content is often used as a teaching material of a different subject. In such a case, the same digital content belongs to a plurality of teaching material folders, and the teaching material IDs are different. However, the file names of the same digital contents belonging to a plurality of teaching material folders are the same. The teaching material ID is manually input.

Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, and Item 4 of the teaching material individual table are a teaching material utilization ID and a teaching material folder N, respectively.
o., a teaching material No., and a teaching material ID.
Here, the teaching material No. is the number of the teaching material file in the teaching material folder. Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, and Item 4 of the teaching material table are fields for registering a teaching material ID, a file ID, a teaching material name, and a teaching material type, respectively. Here, the file ID is linked to item 3 of the reference material table described above. Therefore, when the reference material field in the card format of FIG. 1 is inserted, item 3 of the teaching material table is also automatically generated. Item 3 in the teaching material folder table, item 3 in the teaching material table, and item 4 are respectively linked to “folder name”, “teaching material name”, and “type of teaching material” in the card display of FIG. Therefore, these items are automatically inserted when the card format of FIG. 3 is manually inserted. The teaching material No. of item 3 in the teaching material individual table is automatically generated according to the position of the teaching material file in the teaching material file.

In the file table, information for integrally managing a digital content data file registered as a reference material and a digital content data file registered as a teaching material are registered.
The file table is configured with reference to the reference material table and the teaching material table. The file ID of item 1 is automatically generated by linking to item 3 of the reference material table. The file name of item 2 is automatically generated corresponding to item 1. The registered user ID is automatically generated by linking to item 1 of the user table. The update date of item 4 is automatically entered by the server computer.

FIG. 3 is a card-type display screen showing an example of a registration form for teaching materials. Each field of this teaching material registration card is arbitrarily selected from the teaching affairs plan table (user table, subject table, syllabus table) and arbitrarily selected from the teaching material management table (teaching material folder table, teaching material table, teaching material table). Link to the specified field. In the present embodiment, the teaching material registration card is a file for taking in digital contents such as moving image files, still image files, audio files, and text files prepared by the teacher from an FD (floppy disk), hard disk, scanner, or the like. Along with the name, a teaching material name, a source, a keyword / type of teaching material, a subject, and a class are set as additional information of the file. When data is manually input into this registration form, the teaching material folder table, the teaching material table, and the file table of FIG. 2 are generated.

In the display of the teaching material registration card shown in FIG. 3, the file name is a combination of a volume label designating the disc and the file identification information in the disc when the digital content for teaching material is taken from an FD or a hard disk. Is determined to correspond to Further, when the teaching material digital content is taken in from the scanner, the content is determined according to the identification information of the image read by the scanner. If the additional information is, for example, a teaching material used by Professor Taro Yamada for computer theory, the name of the teaching material is “Picture of PC hardware”, the source is “Utilize XX dictionary”, and the keyword is “Hardware”. "Taro Yamada" as the owner, "still image" as the type of teaching material, "computer theory-C" as the subject-class, and "hardware 1" as the folder name are manually input. In the file selection field of FIG. 3, a list of files belonging to the folder "hardware 1" is displayed. When the user wants to preview an arbitrary file in the folder “hardware 1”, the user can select a desired file from the file selection field and display it on the preview display screen. At that time, the selected file name is displayed in the file name at the lower end of FIG.

In order to prepare for a lecture using the registered teaching materials, a teaching material file is selected based on the data written in each field of the search screen of FIG. In the present embodiment, the search screen includes fields of “file name”, “teaching material name”, “teaching material type”, “subject-class”, and “folder name”. In these fields, for example, "OOOO" as a file name, "Picture of PC hardware" as a teaching material name, "Still image" as a type of teaching material, "Computer theory-C" as a subject-class,
“Hardware 1” is manually input as a folder name.

If the teaching material file to be used is known in advance, the file may be read from the server without searching. If you do not know the material file in advance, but can specify the material folder,
For example, if the teaching material file is hardware 1,
When the hardware 1 on the screen in FIG. 4 is selected, a list of files belonging to the hardware 1 is displayed. When one of the files in the file list is selected, the contents of the selected file are displayed on the preview display screen. In this way, the user can select a desired file as a teaching material file.

When Professor Taro Yamada wants to select a teaching material file to be used in a lecture on "computer theory", he selects "computer theory" in the "subject-class" field of the search screen of FIG. push. As a result, a teaching material folder registered as a teaching material for lectures on computer theory is searched. if,
If there are multiple found material folders, 1
When a teaching material folder is selected and a search button is pressed, the folder name and a list of files belonging to the folder are displayed as described above. Professor Taro Yamada,
The displayed files can be previewed one by one, and a teaching material file to be used for a lecture can be selected.

The selected plurality of teaching material files can be edited into one teaching material folder. Then, this new teaching material folder is registered as a new record in the teaching material folder table, the teaching material individual table, and the teaching material table. In this way, the same file can be associated with a plurality of folders.

A plurality of teaching material files registered in the teaching material folder can be simultaneously displayed on the display device. At this time, the display order of the plurality of teaching material files is as follows.
The order selected by the mouse pointer. The arrangement order of the files in the teaching material folder is managed by the teaching material No. in the teaching material individual table in FIG.

In preparation for the actual lecture, the teacher
