Investigation of Authorware Application for Power Production Teaching

Abstract

In order to solve the difficulty that beginner can not understand and grasp basic knowledge of thermal power plant in a short time, static demo, dynamic demo and test questions were done by using the construction design function of Authorware. The result shows that the frameworks design of Authorware have similarities to industrial process structure. After the software is run, equipments and its functions of thermal power plant can be displayed clearly from the static pictures and process of animation selective catalytic reduction denitrification can be exhibited vividly from dynamic scenes. Besides, test questions can help courseware learners to consolidate basic knowledge of thermal power plant. Moreover, selective catalytic reduction denitrification process of thermal power plant is regarded first as a sample to apply for teaching practice of power production.

Investigation of Courseware Design of Flue Gas Desulfurization of Limestone-gypsum

“…However, for the instructor if they want to solve this problem of the beginner's time-consuming and energyconsumption, it is necessary to improve and upgrade the courseware tool based on the traditional blackboard writing and a Powerpoint courseware of conventional type [17][18][19][20]. Authorware can remedy many shortcomings for general Powerpoint courseware because of its own advantages [21][22][23]. However, Authorware application is still few and has larger development spaces.…”

Simulation Training System of a Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler

“…Therefore, it is essential to study the process and system in order to solve this problem and to form a circulating fluidized bed simulation training system. Moreover, Authorware as an effective framework design tool can show the system equipment and illustrate the logical relation of transfer process and basic knowledge training by using human-computer interaction function [12][13][14][15]. However, programs written still have adjustment space and running effects lack background of engineering practice.…”
