Data Communication and Networks Course for Computer Science and Software Engineering-Hypertext Approach

9354730郑作者最近进行的一项调查表明，对于本科水平的计算机科学和软件工程专业的学生来说，在多平台分布式环境中需要一本涵盖基础理论和新技术以及软件项目主题的数据通信和网络教材。传统教科书没有利用多媒体和超文本技术的最新发展。通过使用这些技术，学生能够按照自己在该领域的特殊兴趣，以自己的速度与计算机互动，追求知识。各种媒体，数字化的静止和运动图像以及声音，提供了对主题的更完整和更持久的访问。超文本和多媒体技术在教育中的应用才刚刚开始。这个项目开发了一份这种格式的文本，作为文本的原型。该项目还开发了一个具有成本效益的网络实验室原型，以在多平台环境中提供软件和补充教学材料，包括问题集和带有样本解决方案的项目主题。课程的目标是让学生积极参与学习过程，并通过开发的项目促进批判性思维、解决问题的技能和创造力。*y

9354730 Zheng A recent survey conducted by the author indicated the need for a data communications and networks text covering fundamental theory and new technologies along with software project topics in a multiplatform distributed environment for computer science and software engineering students in undergraduate level. Traditional textbooks do not take advantage of recent development in multimedia and hypertext technologies. Through the use of these technologies students are able to interact with computers in the pursuit of knowledge at their own rate, following their own particular interests within the field. Various media, digitized still and motion images, and sounds, provide a more complete and lasting access to the subject matter. The techniques of hypertext and multimedia are just beginning to be realized in education. This project develops a text in this format as a prototype for texts. This project also develops a cost-effective network laboratory prototype, to provide software and supplementary teaching materials including a question set and project topics with sample solutions in a multiplatform environment. The goal of the curriculum is to engage students actively in the learning process and, through the projects developed, to promote critical thinking, problem solving skills, and creativity. ***y
