Apparatus and method for creating virtual teaching materials {APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CREATING DATA FOR VIRTUAL EDUCATION}

The present invention relates to a virtual educational authoring tool, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for creating a virtual teaching plan for performing virtual education by hypermedia in two-way real time.

As is well known, virtual education through networks is becoming a reality thanks to the spread of computers and the development of networks. Such virtual education is less popular in terms of time and space, and at the same time, the spread of the education is being accelerated due to the advantages such as low cost of education due to the expansion of the number of students who can take lectures.

In the conventional typical virtual education, as shown in FIG. 1, an instructor employed on the server 400 side first creates a lesson plan on the instructor terminal 100, and then uploads the lesson plan to the server 400 via the network 200. (up-loading), students enrolled in the server 400 download the teaching materials uploaded on the server 400 to any one of their student terminals (300/1 to 300 / n: abbreviated as "300"). It is configured to receive and load down loading.

In this conventional virtual education, the instructor wrote a teaching plan on a single program such as MS Word or Hangul below. Since it is difficult to add audio data, video data, etc. to the lesson plans created by such a program, the instructor was forced to write a text-oriented lesson plan. Given that education in the real environment is composed of sequential / non-sequential combinations of video, graphics, voice, and text, such text-based teaching in the conventional virtual education causes the learning effect to be greatly degraded. .

On the other hand, in order to use such a teaching material on a network where virtual education is performed, it must be written in a network standard language such as HTML (hypertext makeup language), and all instructors with expertise in the course are the same. It is hard to say that you are skilled in the use of.

Therefore, when selecting an instructor in virtual education, the choice of the instructor is greatly limited given the expertise of the course and the proficiency of using the network standard language.

In addition, instructors unfamiliar with the use of such a network standard language, even if the lecturers had high professionalism and excellent lecture techniques, it was difficult for them to fully demonstrate their lecture skills.

On the other hand, as described above, in the conventional virtual education in which the instructor uploads unilaterally and the students download, the mutual intention is difficult even though communication between each other is difficult and communication time is made through e-mail or the like. The effects of question / answer through communication are very limited.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for creating a teaching plan for virtual education, which is suitable for two-way real-time virtual teaching, and is easy to create teaching plan in hypermedia.
