ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a remote education method and apparatus via an internet.
A generally known remote education method is performed by an educational broadcast over a radio wave or a cable to a television at a predetermined time. Another remote education method is performed using video media. This video media method is carried out in a video conferencing system, in which a teacher and a student view each other via the video media. Still another remote education method is performed through a general network, in which a dedicated videophone system and a whiteboard system, which can share data via computers linked via a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), are used to instantly communicate video and graphic data across the network.
However, the above-described conventional remote education methods cause users to be restricted by time and location. Also, it is difficult to increase the number of users and prepare a variety of educational contents. Further, the learning results of individual users have not been evaluated and managed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
To solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a remote education method via an internet that evaluates, analyzes and manages individual learning and educational results.
To accomplish this object, a remote education method has been developed using an internet that comprises the steps of:
(a) receiving a user name and password and identifying whether the user name and password are listed in a registered user list;
(b) transmitting a remote education home page that contains a menu for requesting the registered user to input personal information and learning procedures for guiding the user to select one of the desired learning procedures;
(c) providing learning data corresponding to the learning procedure selected by the user;
(d) providing evaluation data, corresponding to the provided learning data, to evaluate a user's learning results;
(e) analyzing the evaluation results with respect to the evaluation data and providing a learning direction to the user; and
(f) individually storing remote educational result information of the user, such as the evaluation results and the learning direction based on the evaluation results.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for performing a remote education method via an internet which includes a server, executing a remote education program and a personal computer, which is connected to the server, to receive the remote education information.
To accomplish this object a remote education apparatus via an internet has been designed comprising:
a personal computer (PC) which can be connected to an internet; and
a server for prestoring a variety of learning data and evaluation data corresponding to the learning data and providing the learning data and the evaluation data to the PC of a registered user.
