Situated learning is a very effective method in learning a language. Applying the multimedia technology to the World Wide Web (WWW) for situated learning is a widely discussed topic and has been extensively researched in recent years. This paper has analyzed the requirements for situated learning and has built an architecture that can help to support linguistic situated learning over the Internet. This architecture does not only preserve the original advantages of the WWW in multimedia and interactive Web pages, but it also includes a 3D environment to simulate real life scenario. Finally, the paper builds a prototype of Internet education’s research plan in French to reveal the possibility of the presented architecture.
Lecture-on-Demand (LOD) multimedia presentation technologies among the network are most often used in many communication services. Examples of those applications include video-on-demand, interactive TV and the communication tools on a distance-learning system, and so on. We describe how to present different multimedia objects on a Web-based presentation system. Using characterization of extended media-streaming technologies, we developed a comprehensive system for advanced multimedia content production: support for recording the presentation, retrieving the content, summarizing the presentation, and customizing the presentation. This approach significantly impacts and supports the multimedia presentation authoring processes in terms of methodology and commercial aspects. Using the browser with the Windows Media Services allows those students to view live video of the teacher giving his or her speech, along with synchronized images of presentation slides, and all the annotations/comments. In our experience, this very approach is sufficient to the use of distance learning environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
