How to make micro-courses

1, micro-course definition

Micro-class refers to the video and audio that explains a knowledge point in five minutes based on the teaching design idea and using multimedia technology.

These knowledge points can be the interpretation of textbooks, the elaboration of questions, and the induction of test sites; It can also be a knowledge explanation and display of skills such as method teaching and teaching experience.

2. The difference between micro-class and classroom teaching.

Micro-class is a simulation of one-to-one teaching scene, which is different from one-to-many classroom teaching based on teachers. Micro-class is similar to one-on-one tutoring that focuses on students' learning and teaches a knowledge point in a short time.

Micro-class should avoid moving the blackboard, but solve the key and difficult problems that are difficult to solve in traditional teaching.

3. The difference between micro-class and traditional video class.

Compared with the traditional video lessons, which are closed in resources, difficult to modify and mainly taught by teachers, micro-lessons obviously have their own advantages, such as easy to search, easy to spread and wide application. At the same time, the recording object and learning object of the micro-lesson can be anyone.

Second, the selection criteria

The topic selection of micro-course is the most critical link in the production of micro-course. Good topics can be explained and recorded with half the effort, and bad topics can also make micro-courses ordinary or even mediocre.

1 is the key and difficult point in teaching.

A micro-lesson generally teaches a knowledge point. The choice of this knowledge point is related to the design of knowledge structure. It is a good choice to make micro-lessons according to the key and difficult points in teaching, which is more in line with the original intention of making micro-lessons: sharing teaching resources, solving doubts for students (teachers) and inspiring teaching.

2. Suitable for multimedia expression.

As a kind of media, the content design of micro-course should be suitable for the characteristics of multimedia. For the content that is not suitable for multimedia expression, the production result may be futile, because perhaps blackboard teaching or activity practice teaching is better. At the same time, it will make the teaching process mediocre and make the audience lose their desire to learn. Therefore, the topic of micro-course should be suitable for multimedia expression, rich graphics and images, colorful animations and videos with sound and affection.

Third, the teaching design requirements

Although the micro-course is only a few minutes, it also needs a good teaching design. Good micro-courses should be orderly, and chaotic micro-courses run counter to the concept of micro-courses.

1, suitable for teaching objects

Micro-courses in different students' science sections correspond to students with different knowledge and abilities. Micro-courses should not only be divided into different science sections, but also have the same science section to adapt to students of different levels, such as the same mathematical knowledge point. For students of different levels, teaching methods and even contents should be different. Personalized teaching is also in line with our micro-course concept.

2. Conform to the cognitive process

A good micro-course design should be gradual, and can't develop by leaps and bounds. Students of different ages have different cognitive styles. For younger children, specific knowledge (multi-images, animations, videos) is more easily accepted by them. For middle school children, cognitive style has developed into more acceptable abstract knowledge, which can give students room for imagination and thinking. For example, high school Chinese can cultivate more scenes, while for younger children, scene cultivation may be scattered.

"Pause" is not necessary for junior students, but it is necessary for senior students. At this time, it is obviously inefficient for students to instill knowledge, and self-thinking knowledge is efficient and constructive.

If the object of study is a teacher, it may take many repetitions to remember because of the decline of memory ability. At the same time, due to the solidification of ideas, there is a certain buffer process for the acceptance of new things. When presenting content and opinions, the turning point should be smooth and slow.

3. The teaching effect of micro-courses

Can effectively solve practical teaching problems; Resolving doubts and doubts in a targeted way can arouse learners' initiative in learning.

Fourth, PPT design

1, content design

A: PPT means that as long as the core content is put in, things at the end of the corner can be expressed through the teacher's mouth and actions. Watching PPT micro-courses according to the script has nothing to do with excellent micro-courses.

B: PPT content design should be enlightening.

C: there should be suspense in PPT content design.

D: layout reflection

2. Layout design

A: Home page and cover design: It is best to use the home page of PPT as the cover, so that you can know the knowledge points and authors at a glance. As the "face" of micro-lessons, the first PPT should have the following clear "five senses", forehead: if it is a series of micro-lessons, you can explain it here; Eyes: the concise title of micro-course; Nose: author and unit; Oral: Learn science paragraphs, chapters and textbooks; Ears: tassels, without tassels, seem a bit boring and monotonous. It is not recommended to put pictures of teachers here.

B Background: Just like human skin, try to be simple and elegant, which can set off the font, but not too bright. If it is as thick as human skin, it will highlight the paleness of the content. Similarly, the background should not be chaotic. Imagine how beautiful uneven skin can be.

C middle page: dots with knowledge points can be written on it, which is clear at a glance. Put the theme content in the middle, and leave a blank in the lower right corner or the lower left corner to place the teacher's picture without blocking the text. The background is simpler than the home page, but it is not recommended that there is no background or a solid background, and the face is not good.

D tail page design: you can add thanks, micro-lesson topics, welcome to watch other micro-lessons, etc. It is not recommended to add pictures of teachers on this page.

3. Aesthetic design

A: In the whole PPT, it should be 50% text, 20% pictures and 30% blank.

Do not use more than three PPT characters, preferably only two.

C: consistent from top to bottom and coordinated from left to right. The content in the upper part of PPT is similar to that in the lower part. There is no top-heavy phenomenon, and the left half and the right half are in harmony.

D: There can be several kinds of page-turning animations, but not too many. 2-5 kinds of page turning effects are appropriate.

E: aesthetics is not tiring. Don't have several consecutive pictures or words.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) recording and editing

1, record point

A: The recording background should be white or light, and there should be no other sundries.

B: The sound is reasonable, the lens is not hazy, and the best shooting angle is from the front.

C: If you are not used to it, you can let a student sit opposite, as if he were tutoring him.

D: Don't record classroom teaching. For reasons, see Chapter 1.

E: For kindergartens or primary school students, you can record videos with students and put them into PPT.

F: Special people, such as teaching deaf students, can use special recording methods.

G: When recording, adjust the computer resolution to 1024*768 and the number of color bits to 16.

2. Post-production principle

A: The time is less than 5 minutes. If it takes more than 5 minutes, you can't pass the preliminary examination.

B: If the sound is too small or too loud, you can adjust it appropriately.

C: The video size is 640*480 or 320*240, the video format is FLV and MP4, and the audio format is preferably MP3.
