Abstract
The era of “Internet + education” has caused reforms in teaching ideas, teaching modes, and learning styles. The emergence of micro-course technology provides new strategies for integrating learning styles. Task-driven digital mapping teaching, known as traditional classroom organization, has poor teaching effect due to single learning style and strategy. A new teaching mode for digital mapping was constructed in this study based on micro-course technology by combining interactive micro-course technology and digital mapping teaching to adapt to the demands of modern teaching. This teaching mode mainly included four modules, namely, micro-courseware, micro-video, micro-exercise, and micro-examination. It realized the hierarchical teaching of knowledge points in digital mapping course, simplification of basic principles, simulation of engineering cases, and self-evaluation of learning outcomes. The teaching mode was applied to 114 students from the Mapping Engineering Department of Henan University of Urban Construction. Results indicate that the proposed teaching mode based on interactive micro-course technology promoting the independent after-class learning of the students, stimulating their learning enthusiasm, enhancing their practical abilities of the students, and improving the effect of teaching. This mode of teaching provides a new concept for the teaching mode reform of other courses in mapping engineering.
Highlights
Micro-learning has been gradually introduced into the lives of people in recent years given the popularization of informationized education and the rapid development of the Internet
A teaching mode for digital mapping is constructed based on interactive micro-course technology by combining interactive micro-course technology and digital mapping teaching. This mode of teaching mainly includes four modules, namely, micro-courseware, micro-video, micro-exercise, and microexamination. It realizes the hierarchical teaching of knowledge points in digital mapping course, simplification of basic principles, simulation of engineering cases, and self-evaluation of learning outcomes
The digital mapping program in Henan University of Urban Construction includes theory teaching, classroom experiment, and production internship. This course focuses at large-scale digital mapping and introduces its principle, method, and applications comprehensively based on the elaboration of basic principles, basic theories, and measurement methods of surveying
Summary
The development of micro-course expands the connotation and denotation of traditional teaching mode. It is the key of teaching mode reform in universities and colleges at present [2] [3]. Digital mapping mainly adopts the traditional mode of teaching, that is, teaching–demonstration–exercise, in many universities and colleges. This traditional mode of teaching has the following limitations. Relative simple teaching mode cannot sufficiently meet the demands of modern classroom teaching In this mode, teachers are the center in teaching activities, whereas students play a passive role in learning. Designing, developing, and applying interactive micro-course into teaching of digital mapping is an important research topic
