流媒体技术特点及其在网络教学中应用 　　摘要:现代远程教育为学习者提供了丰富的学习资源,随着计算机的普及、网络的迅速发展,将计算机网络应用于远程教育,使学习者摆脱了时间和空间的限制,更好地享受到形象生动、丰富多彩的教学资源,适应了当前教育信息化的发展。直播式流媒体教学是一种实时教学方式,学生可以在同一个时间、不同的地点利用相应的播放软件进行接收,并可通过文字或者麦克风进行相互交流。点播式流媒体教学则不受时间地点限制,学生可自行选择学习内容和时间,满足了学生个性化学习的需要。两种方式互补,大大提高了网络教学的质量。 　　关键词:流媒体技术;网络教学;直播式;点播式 　　 　　中图分类号:TP37文献标识码:A文章编号:1009-3044(2010)03-705-02 　　Streaming Media Technologe and Its Functions in Network Education 　　LIU Hua-yan 　　(Computer Institute of Xiangnan University, Chenzhou 423000, China) 　　Abstract: Modern distance education has provided abundant learning resources for learners. With the popularization and development of computers and network, learners can free themselves from the constraints of time and space to better enjoy the vivid and colorful teaching materials, which adapts to the current development of information technology in education. There are two types of modern distance education, live-style streaming and on-demand streaming media teaching. Live-style streaming media teaching is a real-time teaching method under which students can use the corresponding playback software to receive information in different places at the same time and to communicate each other with Chinese characters and microphones. Whereas students has no time limit under on-demand streaming media teaching method and they can choose freely their learning content and time,thus meeting students personalised requirements. Complemented each other, the two methods has improved greatly online education. 　　Key words: streaming media technologe; network education; live-style; on-demand 　　1 概述 　　传统的教学模式中,师生都是按教学计划安排好的时间、地点进行教学活动。这种直接面对面的教学有利于师生间的交流,同时它也存在不少弊端。在计算机、网络广泛普及,计算机数据能力日益强大,宽带网络日益完善的今天,网络教学已经成为网络信息时代一种重要的教学方式和教学手段。它利用计算机及网络进行教学,具有交互性、实时性、广泛性等特点。网络教学改变了传统教学同时、同地、同进度的课堂教学方式,能够最大限度地发挥人力、物力资源,实现优秀教育资源的共享,提高教学效益。[1] 　　2 流媒体技术的特点 　　流媒体是指在网络中使用流式传输技术的连续时基媒体,如:音频、视频或多媒体文件。流媒体技术就是把连续的影像和声音信息经过压缩处理后放在网站服务器上,让用户边下载边观看、收听,而不需要等整个文件全部下载完毕后才可以观看的技术。[2]它是涉及到流媒体数据的采集、压缩、编码、存储、传输及网络通信等多项集成技术
