Description

The present invention includes a key station provided with a server, and a teacher PC and a learner PC connected to the server via the Internet, and the learner can access the key station from the PC, thereby instructing an arbitrary leader. Can be enjoyed by video and audio. Further, the present invention relates to an education system in which learners as well as instructors and learners can talk with each other in two-way real-time, and learning problems and the like can be grasped from various perspectives and a synergistic effect of teaching effects can be expected.

Conventionally, an educational system in which classes are presented without going to the classroom has only been instructed individually by instructors. There were educational systems using broadcasting and educational systems using recording media such as magnetic tape. Learners targeted by such an education system are not only learners aiming to supplement their understanding of the lesson content taught at school, and learners aiming to learn more advanced content than the lesson content taught at school. , Learners who live in remote areas or overseas and cannot physically and geographically attend classrooms, or who cannot attend classrooms for other reasons such as psychological and health reasons such as school refusal It is a waste.

Such a conventional educational system unilaterally presents information related to learning from the learning information provider to the learner even if the learner fully understands or does not understand the presented lesson. It was a thing.

For example, in a conventional education system using broadcasting, the contents of the lesson are broadcast from the learning information provider side, the broadcast is received by the learner side, and the lesson is presented. Despite the understanding of the lesson content, new lesson content was broadcast one after another. However, in general, if there are lesson contents that are not understood by the learner, the lesson contents related to or developed from the lesson contents cannot be understood by the learner. The same thing happened with educational systems that use recording media that record video images of lessons.

If the learner stumbles on learning because there is content that cannot be understood with respect to the lesson content, the learner loses willingness to learn and learning efficiency decreases. Therefore, in order to confirm the degree of understanding of the lesson contents, there was a method for checking whether the learner can solve the problems related to the lesson contents and derive a correct answer. If the answer is incorrect, the learner does not understand the content related to the wrong problem, but what is actually understood and what is not understood? It was not understood until. If learners clearly understand what they can understand and what they do not understand, they will have clear goals for what to learn and improve their willingness to learn. This is not possible with an educational system where classes are presented without going to the classroom.

In addition, an education system in which classes are presented without going to a conventional classroom does not have a means of communication between learners and teachers, or between learners. I couldn't ask teachers or other learners questions that were difficult to understand. Therefore, the learner is presented with a subsequent lesson with insufficient understanding, without immediately solving questions about the contents that are difficult to understand. This made it difficult to keep the learner's willingness to learn in a situation where it was difficult to understand the contents of the lessons thereafter.

In addition, because there is no means for communication, the learner has to learn in a lonely learning environment, and the learner cannot consult the teacher or other learners about their worries. In other words, the education system that presents classes without going to the conventional classroom is a system that only provides information related to learning, is a system that does not communicate with others, and is due to psychological causes such as school refusal. It was inappropriate for learners who could not attend the classroom.

In recent years, Internet technology has been developed, and an environment has been established that allows a large amount of information to be sent and received quickly in both directions. In an educational system where classes are presented without going to the classroom, the learning There has been no educational system that can improve the efficiency of learning or maintain the minds of learners by utilizing two-way transmission / reception of information between or between learners.

The method in which the server discovers the problems of the learner and gives countermeasures and issues to solve them is based on a flowchart-type routine work program. For those who are actually involved in the class, there are a variety of learners. Many pointed out that the problem could not be covered.

Furthermore, in an educational system where classes are presented without going to the classroom, the instructor must always have large-scale facilities such as classes from a classroom with a server, which is inconvenient to send from the field of practical instruction. was there.

You can enjoy instructional video images without having to go to classrooms and teaching sites with specialized instructors, and freely learn problems between learners and instructors and between learners. A real-time interactive education system that can exchange information and can be used not only for individual classes but also for simultaneous classes has been desired.

An interactive education system according to the present invention is an education system capable of real-time interactive communication including a key station including a server, and a teacher PC and a learner PC connected to the server via the Internet. Has a function to handle instruction information and print distribution by moving picture information and voice from the instructor PC. The learner PC has an output unit and an input unit for video, audio, and prints, and can transmit to the server via the Internet. By projecting lessons in real time with a projector, classes can be shared between classrooms, and the possibilities can be greatly expanded from conventional instruction using video recording media and individualized instructional Internet education systems.

The conventional computer education system has been characterized in that the problem of the learner is grasped in the form of a flowchart based on YES / NO judgment and measures are taken. In the present invention, the instructor grasps the problem of the learner by image and sound. This is characterized by countermeasures. In the field of education, the present invention is a means to be used by the instructor, and by no means substitutes for its role.

The real-time interactive education system according to the present invention includes a key station, a teacher PC, and a learner PC, a learner PC and another learner PC, a leader PC, and a learner's guardian PC. Freely reciprocally between satellite classrooms that have many learners, such as other classrooms or other classrooms via key stations, as well as between the learner's guardian's PC and the other learner's guardian's PC It includes a real-time communication means capable of exchanging information.

As a means of communication, e-mail (e-mail), homepage, chat, bulletin board, etc. may be used as secondary means, but they can be freely transmitted and received by video and audio that can be sent and received simultaneously in the server of the present invention. Information can be exchanged. Therefore, the learner is not a lonely learning environment, but takes a class with other learners in the school classroom and discusses things related to the class, daily life, advancement / course, or concerns. You can exchange information with key stations or other learners. This makes it possible to continue to improve learning efficiency and motivate active participation in the educational system. In particular, this interactive education system with real-time communication means works well for learners who are unable to attend the classroom for psychological reasons such as school refusal and who are not good at communicating with others. there's a possibility that. In addition, it enables information exchange including learner guardians.

FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of the real-time interactive education system of the present invention.

The real-time interactive education system shown in FIG. 1 includes a key station, an instructor PC, a learner PC, and the Internet that is connected to the key station, the instructor PC, and the learner PC to enable bidirectional transmission and reception of information. And have.

The instructor PC has a keyboard, a mouse, a headset, a USB camera, a web camera, a scanner, a printer, and the like as information input / output means.

The learner PC has a keyboard, a mouse, a headset, a USB camera, a scanner, a printer, and the like as information input / output means. Moreover, it can be easily used for group instruction by providing a projector in the classroom for simultaneous classes.

Instructors and learners can connect to each other in real time via the key station server, and learners A and B receive instruction from instructor A, and learner C receives instruction from instructor B simultaneously. Is possible.

The learner can consult the key station 1 with regard to instruction contents, technical questions, daily life, advancement / course, or worries. In addition, such consultation and information exchange can be performed between learners. Because such real-time communication is possible, it is possible not only to immediately solve questions about teaching content and improve learning efficiency, but also to continue active participation in the educational system. Furthermore, it is not a lonely learning environment, but an environment where a group learns together with other learners who learn by receiving the same instruction can be realized. In other words, the real-time interactive education system of the present invention is not an education system that simply provides learning information, or a system that simply processes a learning flow through a routine process of a mechanical flowchart and sends a prepared message, It is an auxiliary system for bloody education that can also maintain the mind of the learner.

The invention's effect

With the real-time interactive education system of the present invention, a conventional Internet education system that has been used for individual tutoring can be linked on a scale of classrooms. Not only that, you can enjoy instruction in real time with video, audio, and prints, even in a classroom with a blackboard, as long as it is a place where you can get an Internet environment whether it is poolside or outdoors. In addition, it is possible to exchange information freely between learners and instructors, and between learners, etc. Learning effect as if it was done can be obtained. It is not an idea that the role of the teacher is replaced by routine work prepared in advance, so that this system can be enjoyed without hindering the real thrill of the lesson that teachers and students create in real time. Depending on the instructor's discretion or use, the effects can have many possibilities. In addition, the use of medical devices, nursing care, various consultation services, and the like depending on the usage form of not only the leader but also those who intend to use the present invention can be greatly expected as an effect.
