Study on multimedia application to higher education

虽然最初设想的工程学院的教育系统的重组-千叶大学，没有得到批准的教育，科学，体育和文化，以下结果是取得。（1）基于最先进的多媒体设备进行了技术设计，建立了小型的多媒体教学实验系统，为多媒体教学的进一步研究奠定了基础。(2)可能的表现媒体已被应用于教学材料是基于网络的多媒体内容，无论是原型或完整的。(3)多媒体系统和开发的多媒体教学材料的优越性，该系统已被检查，让学生使用组的材料。即，两组被试分别学习传统教材和多媒体教材中的相同内容。结果发现，精心准备的多媒体教材提高了动机和成绩。(4)鉴于视听媒体是教育的重要媒体之一，一些商业上可获得的视频材料被转换为数字视频，并被分割成片段，以便使用非线性视频编辑设备进行重建。它们被安装在一个视频点播服务器上，这样学生就可以在任何时候，从终端可以连接到互联网的任何地方访问和学习内容。通过研究明确了将传统视频转换为视频点播所需的人力。(5)研究结果没有应用于预期的高等教育系统，但是，研究结果在“多媒体展览会”和互联网会议现场直播等活动中公布。

Although initially presumed restructuring of educational system in Faculty of Engineering - Chiba University, was not approved by the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, following results are attained.(1)Technological design based on the most modern multimedia equipment has been done to create small sized pilot system for further research on multimedia education and learning.(2) Possible presentation media have been applied to teaching materials being network-based multimedia contents, either as prototype or complete ones.(3) Superiority of the multimedia system and developed multimedia teaching material over the system has been examined by letting groups of students use the material. Namely, separate two groups were asked to study the same contents in conventional text books and developed multimedia materials. It was found that the teaching material carefully prepared in multimedia improves motivation and achievements.(4) In the light that audio-visual media are one of the important media in education, some commercially available video materials were converted to digital videos and fragmented to reconstruct them using non-linear video editing equipment. They were installed on a video-on-demand server, so that students can access and learn the contents at any time, from any place where terminal were connectable to the Internet. Necessary man-power to convert conventional video to video-on- demand was clarified by the research.(5) Research results were not applied to an expected higher educational system, however, the results were made public in such events as "multimedia fairs" and live broadcasting of conferences over the Internet.
