TAL Education Group's Technology Middle Platform has launched a groundbreaking tool for teaching and research — the T-Creator Contextualized Interactive Teaching Courseware Creation Platform, empowering educators to develop contextualized.
T-Creator has a complete set of basic elements to make interactive courseware, including open copyright images, animations, sound effects, particle effects, bone animations (simulating real skeletal animations), and built-in visual interactive logic editors. With the help of T-Creator, teachers can create interactive teaching courseware in just 30 minutes.
Currently, T-Creator has been deployed across various business lines in TAL Education Group and will continue to iterate, hoping to cover the vast majority of situational interactive teaching scenarios in both online and offline teaching. In the future, T-Creator will also be open to the entire industry through the national New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Open Innovation Platform for Smart Education.
How to keep children highly focused in the classroom, especially when learning in front of a screen, is a headache for teachers and parents.
According to neuroscience research, "situational interactive teaching" can effectively improve student attention.
Situational interactive teaching integrates the learning process into specific scenes and tasks, allowing students to solve problems through "visible and tangible" interactions and acquire knowledge.
These interactions not only attract students' interest with beautiful scene animations, but also visualize and present abstract and complex teaching difficulties. Through a series of carefully designed interactions, students can gain contextual memory of the knowledge points, significantly enhancing their learning effectiveness for students in different learning stages and situations.
To achieve effective situational interactive teaching, teachers need to have appropriate teaching methods for online learning environments as well as a sufficient and diverse range of interactive teaching courseware.
Through targeted preparation and practice, teachers can quickly accumulate experience in situational interactive teaching. However, creating situational interactive teaching courseware is not that simple. Even in a mature technology education company, it requires collaboration from education research experts, product managers, animators, sound engineers, and programmers, spending dozens of hours to complete.
T-Creator takes care of the design, animation, sound effects, and programming work, providing teachers with additional hands to create interactive teaching courseware.
With simple programming thinking, everyone can create interactive teaching courseware that conforms to cognitive laws and keeps students engaged with the help of T-Creator, and the entire process takes only half an hour.
With T-Creator, the landing speed of situational interactive teaching is greatly improved. This is the power of educational technology.
T-Creator Situational Interactive Teaching Courseware Creation Platform
Now, let's take a look at the powerful capabilities of T-Creator
01 A Growing Treasure Trove of Interactivity, One-click Generation of High-Quality Interactivity
T-Creator boasts a robust interactive courseware repository—an elite interactive library that aggregates 17 years of TAL Education Group's pedagogical research and teaching achievements. The selected interactive coursewares here are from leading educational brands under TAL Education Group, including Xueersi Peiyou, Xueersi Online School, and XiaoHou AI Course. The courseware design is based on students' common mistakes and learning interests, while also incorporating research findings from TAL's Brain Science Laboratory on children's cognitive patterns. This ensures the courseware templates are not only engaging enough to stimulate interest, but also practically effective in helping students acquire knowledge and enhance their capabilities.
Currently, the high-quality interactive library supports dozens of high-frequency interactive courseware templates including copy coloring, find the difference, connect-the-dots, number mazes, and capsule vending, among others. With an emphasis on being interesting and effective, this continuously growing interactive library will gradually cover most situational interactive teaching scenarios encountered in both online and offline teaching. Teachers only need to choose a template, replace the simplest text and numerical content, and they can one-click generate the desired interactive courseware. This leap in efficiency is the future of efficient education research.
02 WYSIWYG Interactive Customization, Unleash Educational Research Creativity
If the courseware interaction you want is not in the library, don't worry, T-Creator is more than just a set of templates, it's a tool to realize educational research creativity.T-Creator has a complete set of basic elements for creating interactive courseware, including open copyrights for images, animations, sound effects, particle effects, and skeletal animations, and it also includes a powerful visual interactive logic editor.Teachers don't need to write a single line of code, just like making a PowerPoint, they can choose images, combine animations and sound effects, and through simple operations such as dragging, connecting, and matching, they can bring their educational research creativity to life.With the intuitive feeling of what one sees is what one gets within the operation interface, each interaction can be vividly displayed, and the logical flow has never been so clear. Teachers can not only easily see the logic relationships of each interaction but also quickly preview the interactions, identifying problems in the design process.
It is worth mentioning that T-Creator also comes with a physics engine that simulates reality.When an object falls, the object on top of it can also fall along; when an arrow is shot at a target, its trajectory can simulate the actual force. T-Creator can even complete large-scale physical experiments based on the engine, not just for language arts, English, and thinking courses. Regardless of nurturing children's observation, memory, or spatial imagination, T-Creator is capable of achieving it effortlessly.
03 Powerful Scalability, Build Your Exclusive T-Creator Platform
T-Creator is not a closed platform.Creating high-quality interactive courseware often requires a significant amount of talent. During the 17 years of meticulous polishing of millions of courseware in TAL Education Group, how to improve lesson preparation efficiency and reduce repetitive work has always been a question we've been considering.
During the construction of the technology center, we have concentrated the powers of the front end channels of various business units at TAL Education Group to jointly create the T-Creator platform, enriching its functionality continuously.During the internal deployment in business lines such as Xueersi Peiyou, Xueersi Online School, and Xiaohou AI Course, T-Creator has significantly improved the learning efficiency for Chinese, English, mathematics, and thinking courses.What used to take an average of three days to produce interactive courseware, now only takes around 30 minutes, a qualitative leap in lesson preparation efficiency.T-Creator has even bigger open visions, gathering collective wisdom is the ambition of education.If you are a "high-end player" in interactive courseware with explosive programming capabilities, it comes equipped with flexible interfaces and plugins that allow you to integrate the new capabilities you develop on the platform, delivering capabilities that T-Creator did not previously have and ensuring that the brilliance of the courseware knows no bounds.Once the courseware is produced, you can not only generate an H5 page suitable for classroom presentation on the T-Creator platform, but you can also open it to various teaching application platforms through an adapter.In the future, T-Creator will also open up to the entire industry through the National New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Open Innovation Platform. This will enable every teacher and educational institution to mass-produce interactive courseware that suits their needs, allowing every child to benefit and grow from the "magical" new classroom.
As a technology education enterprise building the New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Open Innovation Platform for Smart Education, TAL Education Group is providing full-scene, full-process, and full-cycle service support for educational and technological institutions, educators, researchers, and developers through technology, solutions, and industrialization. This aims to promote the intelligentization upgrade of the education industry and build a diversified new ecology of smart education based on "symbiosis," "mutual growth," and "creative birth."
