The present invention relates to a method for providing an education content, a system, and a recording medium on which a program for implementing the same is recorded. More specifically, the present invention provides an education content providing method capable of providing effective education content according to an instructional design method. The present invention relates to a recording medium on which a system and a program for implementing the same are recorded.

In the past, education was mainly focused on books at school, but with the widespread use of computers and the development of the Internet, anyone has been able to receive educational information anywhere through a network such as the Internet.

The delivery of educational content over the network is called e-learning, and market research firm IDC defines e-learning as learning that delivers education and training processes to the end user over the network either synchronously or asynchronously. According to the e-learning industry development law recently enacted in Korea, e-learning is defined as 'learning achieved by using electronic means, information and communication, radio and broadcasting technology'.

In the past, e-learning was merely delivering text contents to users, but multimedia education contents have recently been provided due to the development of network transmission technology and digital data processing technology.

In line with this trend, standardization work on the creation, management, and service methods of educational contents is underway, which means a process for ensuring the compatibility of educational contents.

Currently, e-learning is almost standardized by the Sharable Contents Object Reference Model (SCORM), which means e-learning technology developed by ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning), a US standards-setting organization.

The demand for the compatibility of educational contents has changed so far between the e-learning operating system (LMS) and the contents exchange method between contents, depending on the educational content provider. There was a problem that had to be done, which was a big obstacle in terms of cost and time. However, if the SCORM standard support system is built, content providers can accept and operate any content without any problem as long as it is content created based on the SCORM standard.

SCORM has released SCORM version 1.2 in October 2001 since SCORM version 1.0 was released in January 2000, and SCORM 2004 has been released. SCORM is divided into four parts: Overview, Content Aggregation Model, Run-Time Environment, and Sequencing and Navigation. The Overview section covers the overall overview of SCORM. The Content Aggregation Model section contains the content model, metadata about the learning content, and specifications for packaging to deliver the learning content. This chapter describes the API, the data model, and the mechanisms for running and terminating learning objects and for communicating between learning objects and the system.

Currently, metadata is generated based on XML according to the SCORM standard and education content is generated based on HTML. According to the related art, when an instructor wants to produce a syllabus, SCORM is used to generate metadata and content. There was a problem that it was necessary to understand the metadata specification of 2004 separately, and to perform the complicated and difficult task of writing it according to XML grammar and SCORM specification.

In addition, the most important part of developing e-learning contents is to find the question of instruction, what to teach, in what order, and how to teach. Recently, in order to improve the learning efficiency of online education contents, the necessity of constructing individual item placement learning courses according to such educational engineering instructional design is increasing.

Each terminal may be connected to a network and may process data related to educational contents, and may include a general desktop PC, a notebook computer, a mobile communication terminal, and a PDA.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the instructor terminal 100 accesses the educational content providing server 106 through a network, the educational content providing server 106 performs a predetermined authentication process, and the instructor teaches. When the content creation request is made, a process of transmitting interface output control information for inputting necessary items is performed.

The browser installed in the instructor terminal 100 receives the interface output control information and displays the same as illustrated in FIGS. 8 to 9, and the instructor may create educational content by filling in items necessary for the interface.

Here, the necessary items may include matters necessary for generating metadata and lecture contents such as greeting, contents, summary, introduction, main body, conclusion, and glossary of terms, such as author, upper and lower classification information, and course name of the educational content.

In general, a course in e-learning may include a learning object, an activity to which a plurality of learning objects are connected, and a courseware including all of them.

Learning objects are created independently of each learning subject unit, and include various multimedia materials such as sound, images, animations, and videos (these multimedia materials are called assets). It contains about 10 web pages, and when it is produced as a video, it contains about 20 to 30 minutes.

These learning objects include a series of learning processes such as start and end of learning, learning topics, related learning activities, and organized learning. Learning objects according to the SCORM standard are called SCOs (Sharable Contents Objects).

In the related art, in order to create a learning object that is a basic unit of a course, the instructor needs to determine a class progress order and select a web page design one by one or make one of them, but according to the present invention, the educational content providing server 106 is Register the teaching order and design template that is teaching-engineered by education engineering in advance, and when the instructor selects a specific lecture order, a design template corresponding to the lecture order may be output to the instructor terminal 100 according to the first sequencing. do.

Herein, the design template defines matters related to the layout, color menu, etc. in which the lecture contents are included, and the first sequencing defines the order in which the design template is applied in a specific lecture order.

In the database according to the present invention, a combination of a plurality of design templates for each lecture order is stored in a package according to the first sequencing information.

In e-learning, the order of lectures is very important because non-face-to-face learning is performed, and the order of lectures may be, for example, as follows.

1) Lecture guide-concept description-example case-practice-summary-post test

2) Lecture guide-following practice-content description-this exercise-summary-post test

3) pre test-lecture guide-theory explanation-example case-summary-post test

4) Review of the last lecture-Outline-Follow one by one-Homework-Post test

When the educational content is configured in a format including a plurality of web pages, each web page is configured according to its function because each web page includes the contents of the lecture guide, the text, the practice, the summary, and the test as described above. It is desirable that (design) be different.

To this end, the educational content providing server 106 according to the present invention stores a combination of design templates in a package according to the first sequencing for a specific lecture order, and then the instructor selects one lecture order and displays the lecture contents.
