Abstract
A Moodle-based podcast teaching platform is designed for the course of aerobic gymnastics. Although abundant teaching tools and resources are available on the Moodle teaching platform, it doesn’t support playing video and audio. Thus, podcast module is added. Podcast, as an innovative medium form, is convenient for playing video and audio. The key to learning aerobic gymnastics is to master the essentials of movements. We adopted the patented technology of a method and device of real-time animation generation in video in teaching, to help learners comprehend movements of aerobic gymnastics and raise learning efficiency. We also performed contrast experiment to check the effect of the teaching platform in teaching practice. The results show that the experimental group performed better than the control group in respect of both routine and movement, and demonstration capability. The platform is largely helpful for learners to comprehend the movements and raise learning efficiency. Thus, these findings indicate the Moodle-based podcast teaching platform has a good application prospect in physical education.

Summary
With the rapid development of the internet technology, a new medium emerged— podcast. The application of podcast in teaching is mainly to use it as a medium of training course. An acronym for modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment, is a network education platform provided with abundant teaching tools [2]. The combination of podcast with Moodle platform will have unique advantages and interaction functions, which is a creative learning mode. The aerobic gymnastics courses in most universities appear to be dull, of incomplete teaching contents and objectives, and be with an irrational after-class evaluation system. Considering the aforesaid problems of the course of aerobic gymnastics, we have built a Moodle-based podcast teaching platform, and re-designed the course of aerobic gymnastics, with a purpose to arouse students’ interest in aerobic gymnastics iJET ‒ Vol 12, No 9, 2017.
