Abstract


The major purpose of this paper is to develop a Web-based E-learning Platform for physical education. The Platform provides sports related courseware which includes physical motions, exercise rules and first-aid treatment. The courseware is represented using digital multimedia materials which include video, 2D animation and 3D virtual reality. Courseware within digital multimedia materials not only can increase the learning efficient but also inspires students’ strong interest in learning, especially in the area of Physical Education. The design concept of our project is based on ADDIE model with the five basic phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Via the usage of this Web-based E-learning platform, user can learn the relative knowledge about sports at anytime and in everyplace. We hope to let players perform efficient self learning for sports skills, indirectly foster mutual help, cooperation, nice norms of law-abiding via the learning of exercise rules, and become skilled at accurate recreation knowledge and first-aid expertise. Moreover, coaches can use the system as a teaching facility to mitigate loading on teaching.
