Micro-course refers to an efficient teaching activity with practical teaching knowledge as the main content in a shorter teaching time than traditional teaching methods, with shorter streaming media and information methods. Micro-courses generally appear in the form of videos of special topics or knowledge units, and the learning content is short, which is an auxiliary teaching method. At the same time, micro-lessons are learning resources for autonomous learning, and students can learn on demand only if they want to learn and are willing to learn. Therefore, micro-lessons must be interesting, incorporate happiness factors, and realize the fun and entertainment of micro-lessons in order to attract students to learn on demand.
At present, micro-courses in higher vocational colleges are seriously homogenized with basic education and general higher education, and most of them are explained around a certain theoretical knowledge point. Such micro-courses are undoubtedly beneficial to students' theoretical knowledge learning. Vocational education emphasizes practical skills, which requires repeated demonstrations by teachers and repeated practice by students. Due to the limited classroom time, students need to practice repeatedly and master the key points of skills after class. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct micro-lessons for the key points of operation skills, which will get twice the result with half the effort.
The purpose of applying micro-courses in higher vocational colleges is to solve practical problems in teaching, so students should first feel effective. Only in this way can students accept it and its application play its main role. When applying for micro-courses, don't engage in those flashy things. We should remember that micro-courses are not for following the fashion or grandstanding, but should actually start with the application content and continuously accumulate appropriate teaching content and course materials. Otherwise, there will be no application market, and the utility principle is the most important application principle of micro-courses.
In addition, among many design elements of micro-courses, words, pictures and music are the most basic and intuitive elements, and they are also important indicators to evaluate the design quality of a micro-course. A good micro-course design should emphasize compactness and integrity in structural layout; Pictures and music should emphasize beauty and exquisiteness. In a word, these three elements must obey the content of micro-course teaching. Only when the content and form are coordinated and unified, the design of micro-courses will not appear top-heavy or put the cart before the horse.
It is more valuable to continuously introduce new micro-courses for a course and form a series. In order to avoid the high fragmentation of micro-courses and realize the coherence and systematicness between micro-courses, we should curriculum micro-courses and compile micro-course textbooks. Each knowledge point in the textbook corresponds to a QR code, and each exercise or example corresponds to a QR code. Where the corresponding QR code is not scanned, you can order the corresponding micro-course.
As a new teaching mode, micro-course has shown great advantages in the teaching reform of higher vocational colleges, and the teaching reform has also achieved initial results. With the continuous development of information technology and the continuous improvement of informatization level in colleges and universities, the application environment of micro-courses will be gradually improved and applied more widely. This will deepen the educational reform of higher vocational colleges, break the shackles and constraints of traditional teaching classrooms and fundamentally improve the teaching quality. However, in the optimization design, development and implementation of micro-courses, further integration and optimization are needed, so this exploration road is still very long. However, I believe that with the continuous progress and deepening of information technology and education reform, more micro-course theories and excellent materials will be gradually enriched in teaching practice and truly become a shared education model.
Professional Micro-course Production Platform —— Speed Course Network
Speed course network is the earliest mobile teaching application tool platform in China, which helps schools, units and teachers to improve the efficiency of mobile teaching, build mobile teaching systems and courseware, improve teaching efficiency and realize knowledge realization.
At present, more than 65,438+10,000+teachers have registered, and the number of courseware resources has reached 1.5 million+,providing hundreds of teaching, education, training and knowledge content sharing for China every month, providing different teaching experiences for the majority of teaching units and teachers in the internet plus era.
