Features
of Red spider software
Red
Spider educational software, developed by Guangzhou Chuangxun Software Co.,
Ltd.
Development,
runs the TCP / IP Windows2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows7 network loaded with TCP/IP
protocol, it supports 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems, it mainly realizes
multimedia information network teaching and broadcasting on the LAN for its
excellent quality, it is a very good software product with the integration of
synchronous teaching, control, management, audio and video broadcast, on-line
exam in computer classrooms, and it can achieve the purposes of network
management such as simultaneous screen monitoring and remote control[2].
Easy
software installation:
Traditional
computer classroom, in the general sense, is such a system implemented with
projector or hardware network. However, a general classroom cannot be equipped
with such a system for its high cost or some other reasons, such as large
hardware depletion, troublesome maintenance and difficult updating. But for Red
Spider software, a pure software solution, it completely avoid these hardware
problems to enable teachers to put theory of teaching into practice, teachers
can make a variety of teaching demonstrations on the computer, and any
teachers’ step of the procedure is in real-time transmission to the student's
computer screen.
Powerful
functions and flexible interaction:
A
variety of multimedia courseware information, optical disk teaching resources,
experimental demonstration system, teaching methods and experiences can be
realized by integrating voice, images, text, animation as one through the use
of this software to achieve modern interactive teaching mode.
Texts,
images, voice and video resources can be shared throughout the multimedia
classroom. In this way, interactive communication environment can be realized
by constructing a text, voice, video, images, and students can share on their
computer screens a variety of teaching resources, it does not only greatly
reduce the workload of teachers, but also significantly improve the efficiency
of teaching, and the teaching content is extremely lively and the students are
willing to accept.
Main
functions of the Red Spider educational software
The main
functions of the Red Spider educational software are as follows:
Teacher
demonstration: to perform real-time synchronous broadcasting
of the screen of the teacher’s machine to individual or all the students with
teaching demonstrations. It can also be broadcasting the image screen in the
form of animated images recorded to make into courseware or teaching materials
for re-use or shared with other teachers. Moreover, it can use pre-recorded
screen to back play the demo directly to the students’ computers through the network,
with this feature, the teaching of automation and standardization can be
realized.
Student
demonstration: easily to specify any of the students to
demonstrate the operation to other groups of students to conduct mutual
exchanges and learning while supporting the demonstration of the window or full
screen mode.
Black
silence: to lock the keyboard and mouse of one or
all of the students of the local computer to make the screen display black so
that the students’ lectures seriously.
Voice
teaching: to conduct voice broadcasting by
microphone and headset, and to realize free voice chat and discussion between
teachers and students including online voice broadcasting, one-to-one talk,
multilateral debate or voice listening.
Screen
monitoring: to conduct real-time (looping) monitoring
on computer screens of one or more students, teachers do not need to leave the
seat to understand students' learning on the student machines across the
network monitoring and management.
Remote
counseling: Teachers can directly conduct remote
control and operation of a student's computers to realized two-way
communication with remote students by "hands-on" interactive remedial
teaching.
Screen
playback: to save the screen recorded in the form
of animated images, then playback the screen when recorded, which can either
facilitate the teachers ahead of lesson planning, the production of teaching
materials related to teaching content, but also to solve the problem of
students not keep up with the progress of teaching, and allow students in their
spare time to review the contents of the class to improve the quality of
teaching.
E-Responder:
race to be the first to answer a question to help students learn in fun
competitions, and to assist teachers in a timely manner to test the learning
outcomes in order to identify problems and solve the problem.
File
transfer: to perform a one-time transmission of one
or more files to the specified student computer and specify to automatically
open or run the file transferred after the end of transmission, do online
software installation, distribute papers or demonstrate courseware, which
greatly improved work efficiency.
Submit
assignment: students can submit multiple files and
directory assignment by cooperation with the teacher to realize student-teacher
"file transfer", thus fully realizing file interaction between students
and teachers through the distribution and submission of students' work online.
Online
discussion: through chat by voice and text chat
between teacher and students, all the texts will be automatically saved form
history and can be readily available when needed.
Far-end
message: teachers can acquire on teacher’s
computer the machine configuration information of all the students to
facilitate management. The information obtained includes: operating system,
memory usage, disk allocation and spatial properties of the network / protocol
/ service, the IP address allocation, parameter settings, seating arrangements.
Process
Information: to instantly view each student on the
already open applications, and running processes information. If they are found
in the class secretly playing games or chatting online, or should any exception
process occur, students can always be remotely terminated.
On-line
situation: all the students on the line, not on the
line, quitting, quitting unexpectedly or escape, network disconnection can be
on real-time detection and discovery through details for the teacher’s
inquiries and immediately submitted to the teacher for the latest situation so
as to make real-time processing. This mechanism plays a more active role in
preventing students to freely escape control.
Electronic
show of hands: should any students have problems to
consult the teacher, they can always call the teacher, the teacher can answer
those students at any time for those shows of hands via voice or text response.
Remote
command: this software provides remote unified
switch-on and switch-off program and computer-restarting instructions, and
enables / disables students to send online messages, to submit jobs, and
provide synchronization system parameter setting, synchronous upgrade services,
and synchronizes system time and other functions. Also, the software can
synchronize directly to open the application programs on students’ computers to
ensure a unified interface you want to teach in the course.
Class
Management: this software provides a very powerful
class, group, and student and computer management system. It does not need to
be configured to begin the task of teaching. And it introduces the concept of
"class, students" to make more than one class configuration
management, to arrange the seating of students, to conduct the current state of
the group management and teaching demonstration by monitoring students
computer.
Problems
should be noted
Properly
handle the relationships between the teaching instruction and students’
practice:
Teaching
practice with students is a dialectical unity. Questions teachers explain
should be consistent with those of the students’. Two problems are likely to
occur if not properly controlled:
In the
first place, teachers speak too much, which leads to the fact that students do
not have enough time to practice. With limited class time, that a teacher
simply completes the task of teaching in an unbroken time will results in the
too long presentation time with teaching taking too much content, which makes
students feel learning boring without digesting the content.
In the
second place, the demonstration of the teachers’ is synchronous with the
students’ practice, which leads to unexpected bad effect. If students themselves
are allowed to operate in learning, students will forget certain key steps.
This is because the students focus only on the form of imitation in the
learning process, but ignore the cognitive improvement.
Desirable
practice: First, the teachers demonstrate complete
the steps to enable students to watch, not to operate but understanding the
overall teaching task, then teachers operate, students follow, meanwhile
teachers explain the problems that may occur in steps and procedure, and answer
all the problems; in the final, the students independently complete the task or
similar task of teaching, in order to achieve the purpose of the flexible
application.
Grasp
the necessary timing of a good teacher-student interaction:
Classroom
teaching is not a process of teachers’ continuous flow of instruction, not is
it the practice of the students themselves, but rather it should be an
interaction. Teachers’ rational use of interactive in the classroom with
students can grasp the extent of knowledge. “Student demonstration”, “Online
communication” and “remote counseling” can be used in the Red Spider educational
software. Classroom interaction can be prepared in advance and improvising can
be carried out by pre-prepared teachers through pre-arranged exchange programs
in the teaching process, for example, when a problem is finished by way of
discussion or problems, let everyone speak out their own achievement. Spot to
play is a temporary problem; teachers in the teaching process should discuss
the problem in a timely manner, to study the questions which have arisen due to
the solution.
Flexible
use of instructional interaction can improve classroom teaching and stimulate
students' interest in learning.
Take
into account students' individual differences in the ability:
Differences
between students, such as intelligence, personality, etc. are an objective
reality, teachers cannot deny or ignore the existence of individual
differences. In multimedia network teaching, teachers should take into account
students' individual differences in the ability to timely adjust the progress
of teaching. Teachers can use screen monitor function of the Red Spider educational
software to keep abreast of students' understanding of the situation and
differences, and discern those who have learned a little better or not, and
should be fully aware of whoever has mastered the teaching objective in order
to achieve in the classroom counseling targeted. In addition, teachers can
promptly adjust the student seat, arranging seats of good students to sit
together with poor student in learning. This is not only to promote the
progress of poor students, but also to help build the sense of accomplishment
of good students who offer helps, which can also reduce the burden on teachers.
Conclusions
The Red Spider
software is a very powerful teaching management software, and the rational use
of the Red Spider software in the multimedia network classroom can stimulate
students' interest, reduce teachers' burden and promote classroom
interaction so as to improve teaching effectiveness.
