如何把Captivate文档导入到Flash 8 - 《电脑知识与技术》 - 期刊杂志赏析网 免费杂志|电子杂志|杂志下载 - 使用 Google 工具栏发送

如何把Captivate文档导入到Flash 8 - 《电脑知识与技术》 - 期刊杂志赏析网 免费杂志|电子杂志|杂志下载

 《电脑知识与技术》
Captivate软件是Macromedia出品的专业的影像捕捉工具,可以利用该软件轻轻松松创建交互式模拟和软件演示。Captivate软件最早 由Flash Cam伊始,后来这个软件归Ehelp公司拥有,更名为RoboDemo。RoboDemo很快又被Macromedia公司收购,根据市场发展策略的需 要,Macromedia公司对软件进行了二次研发与升级,并将其更名为Macromedia Captivate,如图1所示为Captivate logo。使用该软件可以录下计算机屏幕中显示的软件的操作过程,包括鼠标的移动,并且可以编辑或删除捕捉下来的图片,把捕捉的影片单独帧连贯起来成为一 个SWF文件。


Macromedia Captivate 档案
软件名称:Macromedia Captivate
软件版本V 1.1.1290 中文版
软件大小:51MB
软件性质:商业软件
支持平台:Win9X/WinME/WinNT/
Win2000/WinXP
下载地址:http://www.china1000.net/
downinfo/25011.html

Captivate同时可以为制作的影片加入自定义的文字说明、音效 (旁白、背景音乐以及声音效果)、视频、Flash动画、文字动画、影像、超级链接及更多项目。Captivate是在线产品展示、 E-Learning 软件模拟以及在线教学课程课件最佳的开发工具,现在很多优秀的课程课件都可看到这个软件的影子。
Captivate的屏幕捕捉原理是这样的:当你在屏幕上仅移动鼠标时(无论你移动多长时间或多复杂的轨迹), Captivate均以同一屏幕快照为背景,同时生成鼠标动画,仅当你点击某个热区(如按钮、超链接等) Captivate才进行新的摄取动作,这一过程就称为“幻灯片”,是 Captivate的基本单元。另外,当你把某个窗口缩放时, Captivate只捕捉开始和结束的两张快照,可能你会对该模式的视觉上感觉不太连贯,但只有这样才保证了产品的最小化和后期编辑的高效性。当然, Captivate支持屏幕图片的连续捕捉,但这样做形成的文件量太惊人了。

Captivate使用起来非常方便、简单,根据软件的向导提示即可完成绝大部分的操作,学习Captivate也无需其它教程、范例,软件本身带有二类 帮助,一个是采用Captivate本身制作的如何使用该软件实例讲解,另外一个是文本帮助,而且全部是中文的,前者可能利用了台湾同胞的翻译成果,所以 有时呈现繁体字(BIG5码),但不影响阅读。它的操作界面基本上和Macromedia公司的其它软件产品差不多,和Flash 8.0的屏幕面板非常相似,如图2所示,软件提供了一个具有结构化构件的创作用户界面,每个幻灯片拥有自己的时间轴和图层,将捕捉的图像放入“幻灯片”层 处理,将捕捉的鼠标动作放入“鼠标”层处理,每个图层一个对象,与场景中的元素一一对应,你可以任选时间轴和场景进行编辑,综合了Flash 8.0和Powerpoint这二个软件的优点。
软件本身的项目文档格式为*.cp,制作影片时,可以直接设置发布的影片格式为SWF文件,据说在Captivate测试版中的发布的影片格式可以输出成 Fla,可是到了正式版却没有这个输出项了。我们也可以把一个Captivate的项目文档(.cp格式)导入到Flash 8.0环境中去重新编辑发布,Flash 8.0英文版本是支持直接导入的,但是Flash 8.0简体中文版似乎存在一个BUG,无法直接使用导入功能了,这样就无法使用Captivate项目文件中很多功能丰富的项目元素(比如影片控制播放 器,自定义动画等)。
很多人都遇到了同样的问题,笔者经过几天的试验,反复将Flash 8.0英文版和简体中文版的进行对照比较,终于发现可以通过以下步骤可以解决这个问题:
1.关闭Flash 8.0简体中文版。
2.查找用来导入Captivate项目文件的动态链接文件,文件名:rdmfistub.dll。在Captivate软件的安装目录下会有这个文件,默认的安装目录一般为C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Captivate。
3.新建导入目录importers:在目录C:\Documents and Settings\“用户计算机的名称”\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\zh_c
n\Configuration\下新建一个目录importers,这个目录主要存放Flash 8.0导入时使用的相关文件,将步骤2中查找到文件复制过来。
4.重新启动Flash 8.0简体中文版。
5.新建一个空白的Flash文档,选择菜单“文件”→“导入”→“导入到舞台”,你将发现Captivate项目文件(*.cp)类型出现在Flash 8.0简体中文版中,如图3所示。

Teacher Professional Development, and Online Communities

Teacher Professional Development, and Online Communities

Teacher Professional Development
& Online Learning Communities

by Greg Shultz & Alex Cuthbert

CSCT Home

What Is An Online Learning Community?

Learning communities encourage integrated understanding and develop a common set of criteria for evaluating ideas. We define learning communities as supporting networks of personal relationships that enable the exchange of resources and the development of a common framework for analysis of these resources. Members of the community jointly analyze resources and develop a common set of criteria for evaluating those resources. We define resources as a collection of ideas or interactions that are accessible to community members and can be incorporated into their practice. Communities, with their boundary conditions, niches, and cycles of opportunity, evolve as they organize, transform, and sort resources.

What Are The Range Of Approaches To Teacher Professional Development?

Teachers are best able to develop and improve their science teaching through learning experiences, at both pre-service and in-service levels, that:

    • deliberately connect science and pedagogy,
    • model effective teaching practices,
    • address the needs of teachers as adult learners,
    • take place in classrooms and other learning situations, and
    • use inquiry, reflection, research, modeling, and guided practice.

(NRC, 1997)

Learning opportunities for teachers:

    • Learner-centered environments (to build on strengths, interests, and needs of learners)
    • Knowledge-centered environments (focusing on pedagogical content knowledge)
    • Assessment-centered environments (testing ideas, trying them with students, receiving feedback)
    • Community-centered environments (communities of practice, with teacher collaborations)

(NRC, 2000; see also Methods below)

What Are The Challenges & Opportunities?

    • Typical teacher workshops tend to occur once, deal with decontextualized information, and often do not resonate with teacher’s perceived needs.
    • The most successful professional development activities are those that are extended over time and encourage development of teachers’ learning communities.
    • Teachers are urged to use student-centered, constructivist, depth-versus-breadth approaches in their education classes, but new teachers often see traditional pedagogy in college and in their schools.
    • Successful learning for teachers requires a continuum of coordinated efforts that range from pre-service education to early teaching to opportunities for lifelong development as professionals.

(NRC, 2000)


I. Methods

From Ch. 8 ("Teacher Learning") of How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience and School (NRC, 2000):

A. Quality of Learning Opportunities

1. Learner-centered environments (to build on strengths, interests, and needs of learners)

    • teachers usually have no say in what or how they learn in prof. development opportunities
    • cases of "Ellen" and "Molly"
    • difficulty of tailoring professional development to needs of individual teachers
    • technology provides new opportunities for communication and online learning for teachers

2. Knowledge-centered environments

    • ideal of focusing on pedagogical content knowledge is not usually met
    • difficulty of getting teachers to rethink the nature of their disciplines
    • learning how to teach a subject by focusing on one’s own experience as a learner
    • teachers accustomed to feeling efficacious, and being in control
    • technology enables teachers and students wider access to subject-matter expertise

3. Assessment-centered environments

    • teachers testing ideas by trying them out with students, and then receiving feedback
    • feedback, especially from teacher colleagues, helps clarify ideas and correct misconceptions
    • classroom-based feedback important for implementing new programs
    • certification programs designed to help teachers reflect on and improve their practice

4. Community-centered environments

    • communities of practice for teachers, w/ collaborations, and participation in educ. research
    • teachers share success and failures with pedagogy and curriculum development
    • descriptive review: teachers collaboratively reviewing student work constructively
    • two major themes from studies of teacher collaborations

* importance of shared experiences/discourse around texts/data about student learning

* necessity of shared decision making, which enables deeper reflection and discussion

B. Action Research

    • an approach to professional development w/ teachers working on classroom-based research projects
    • example of Bay Area’s PTARG, in collaborative action research called enhanced normal practice
    • examined are teachers’ beliefs about learning, their students, and of themselves as learners
    • collaborative action research amongst teachers fosters the growth of learning communities
    • use of action research as a model of sustained teacher learning is hampered by lack of time/resources

C. Preservice Education

    • considerable structural variation amongst teacher education programs
    • common components of teacher education programs:
      • some subject-matter preparation
      • series of foundational courses (e.g. philosophy, sociology, history, psychology of education)
      • one or more developmental, learning, and cognitive psychology courses
      • methods ("how to") courses
      • sequence of field experiences
    • collaboration under-emphasized (vs. team approach to problem-based learning in medical schools)
    • political factors have strong effects, and hinder innovation in teacher education programs
    • National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future (1996) identified problems:
      • inadequate time in teacher education programs done as part of undergraduate degrees
      • fragmentation within teacher education programs: disconnected components
      • uninspired teaching methods, lacking hands-on, minds-on experiences
      • superficial curriculum, w/ little depth in subject matter or in educational studies
    • lifelong learning for teachers is impeded in at least two ways
      • message is sent to prospective teachers that educ. research has little to do with schooling
      • importance of viewing themselves as subject-matter experts is not emphasized to teachers
    • dissonance between student teaching experience and teacher education course work
    • new teachers often given the most challenging assignments, partly leading to high turnover rates

II. Design Principles

We recently came up with four design considerations for people creating online learning communities (Cuthbert, Clark, and Linn, 2000):

(a) support the actual practices and daily tasks of the participants

(b) collect experiences and represent them in an accessible and equitable manner

(c) provide a framework to guide the learning process

(d) represent the identities of the community members

There is a wide range of strategies for addressing these design considerations.


III. Models

From pp. 227-228 of How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience and School (NRC, 2000):

    • internet-based communities of teachers exchange info/support for geographically-dispersed teachers
    • WWW also enables widespread teacher communication, e.g. via websites of evaluated resources
    • teacher communities of practice need environments that generate a "social glue", with
      • chances for planned interactions
      • tools for joint review and annotation of education resources
      • opportunities for online collaborative design activities
    • Tapped In (Teacher Professional Development Institute) is a good example
      • it integrates synchronous ("live") and asynchronous (e.g. email) communication
      • users can store/share documents & interact in an electronic ‘conference center’ environment
      • teachers discuss issues, create/share resources, hold workshops, etc. w/ various virtual tools
      • teachers can explore resources and engage in live conversations in various public "rooms"
      • more than a dozen PD organizations have set up facilities within Tapped In

1. Tapped In (http://www.tappedin.org/)

The CILT (http://www.cilt.org) virtual community for online learning and professional development, based on a MUD (multi-user dungeon) model. "TAPPED IN™ is the online workplace of an international community of education professionals. K-12 teachers and librarians, professional development staff, teacher education faculty and students, and researchers engage in professional development programs and informal collaborative activities with colleagues."

2. Virtual High School (http://vhs.concord.org/home.htm)

The VHS (Virtual High School) project is a collaborative of high schools from around the country. In exchange for contributing a small amount of teaching time, a school in the collaborative can offer its students NetCourses ranging from advanced academic courses to technical and specialized courses.

3. WebCT (http://webct.com/)

Leading group in web-based course design. They have shifted their pitch to be community-based rather than course-based...though their mission statement would make you think their product is more about grading than learning: "Although automatic grading is a gift from the gods and a miracle of modern science, the real beauty of on-line testing is in the statistics that some of the packages generate for you after the test has been taken..."

Their vision of an online community is equally impoverished, being solely information based: "The Online Teaching and Learning community strives to provide information of interest and use to members of the online teaching and learning community. Recognizing how difficult it is to keep up with the massive amount of information circulated daily, we filter it for you with news from the online and distance education world, information about upcoming conferences, updates of ongoing discussions on well-known listservs, detailed site and software reviews, and more..."

4. Computer Strategies (http://www.compstrategies.com/home.html)

"Computer Strategies is a professional development company that provides customized, focused, and relevant coaching on-site and online for teachers. We have a team of curriculum and technology specialists who have designed innovative ways to motivate students and support teachers. We can help you with the challenging process of integrating technology into standards-based curriculum. We use our expertise, experience, and resources to help you every step of the way, from planning to implementation."

5. Connected University (http://www.cu.classroom.com/)

An online learning community from Classroom Connect, "Connected University provides online professional development you can count on for challenging content, maximum interactivity, and unmatched convenience."
