Abstract

Metaphors are widely seen in the user interfaces of today's Web based applications. Some of the major features of metaphors are their ability to organize information related to any concept and to provide better understanding of the information. The traditional teaching and learning activities of educational systems have enjoyed the benefits of metaphors in several ways. This includes representing metaphors in various forms such as text, graphics, animated images etc. One of the challenges for Web based learning (WBL) courseware developer is to design the appropriate metaphors relevant to the context of information presented in the courseware. This paper focuses on the method of selecting one or more metaphors constructed already by the courseware developers that will help in understanding as well as learning the characteristics needed for the WBL courseware development. The selected metaphors can be considered as guideline objects, from which the desirable characteristics can be applied or recommended for the new metaphors to be defined. To decide upon the candidate metaphors, the repertory grid analysis is proposed

基于网络学习的课件开发中视觉隐喻的管理与选择

隐喻在当今基于Web的应用程序的用户界面中随处可见。隐喻的一些主要特征是它们能够组织与任何概念相关的信息，并提供对信息的更好理解。教育系统的传统教学活动在几个方面都受益于隐喻。这包括以各种形式表示隐喻，如文本、图形、动画图像等。基于Web的学习(WBL)课件开发人员面临的挑战之一是设计与课件中呈现的信息上下文相关的适当隐喻。本文的重点是选择一个或多个已经由课件开发者构建的隐喻的方法，这将有助于理解和学习WBL课件开发所需的特征。所选择的隐喻可以被视为指导对象，从中可以应用或推荐理想的特征来定义新的隐喻。为了确定候选隐喻，提出了库格分析方法
