1 The concept of VT

The VT, means to utilize technologies such as modern network technology, multimedia and virtual reality etc., Structure the virtual teaching environments in campus network, carry on virtual teaching, students construct own knowledge systems through independent study and synergic study 。

THE function setting about environment of VT

Virsual teacher Virtual area to experiment Virtual area to discuss Virtual studio Virtual test Virtual administering And so forth

2 The significance of VT

1 Realize share of educational resources. 2 Break through time and space restrictions of

study. 3 Students really own the freedom of study

process. 4 Break through the restriction of experimental

condition, and avoid various kinds of dangers brought by real experiments or operations.

5 timeliness and can be repeated. 6 offer a fine platform to improve the teaching

effect.

3 The design of VT The steps about design of VT ： analyse teaching aim analyse

cognitive frame of students design environments of VT design structural knowledge design extended knowledge design space of discussing and collaboration design interactive and estimate systems

The principles to design VT：

Accord with cognitive frames of students

Combine virtual teaching with real teaching

Variety principleWhole principleAppeal principleThe principle of cooperating natureThe principle of teaching design

4 A case of virtual teaching of physics

take photoemission effect as an example.

Virtual experiment

5 The instructional expectations about virtual

astronomy

A. Set up virtual astronomy scientific Web which explains astronomical knowledge, attract student's interest in astronomy, put pleasure in teaching. Through astronomical theory and practice, come to popularize the astronomical education of science, promote study interest and accomplishment to astronomy of students.

B. Visit the latest astronomical data, remote-operate the astronomical observation equipments,realize virtual observation to sky.
