Interactive - this is what? Interactive TV. Interactive training

On the walls in the offices of geography used to be maps with images of parts of our planet in different scales. Now this is not enough. Maps today need interactive. And not only maps ...

Interactive - this is what?

Translating a word from English sounds like "interaction." That is, interactivity is a property of the system, more precisely its ability to interact. If an object is able to respond to the actions of another object in real time, here and now, it is interactive.

Where is interactivity used

In the most diverse spheres of human life, such technologies are used, they are becoming more and more with the development of society. Now interactivity is most in demand in informatics, programming, telecommunications, sociology, education, design. Let's consider some examples of interaction.

Information Systems

Any system that is able to respond to actions from the outside with a specific solution in the shortest possible time, will be more preferable in the eyes of the user. So, having the opportunity to send sms or make a call to live on television is not yet interactivity. But if your and any incoming message is immediately processed and the result is given, for example, changing the values in the poll on the TV screen, then this system works online.

Programming

In programming, interactivity is most clearly manifested in the creation of animation. Here the movement can start on the user's click. This effect is often used in presentations and educational methods. A more complex level of interactivity is when the user can change the parameters and characteristics of the animated object during the movement.

Communication

Interactive communication is an opportunity to carry out a dialogue in real time, being at a considerable distance from each other. Now a lot of programs and applications help people quickly and constructively communicate (Skype, ICQ and many others). This is a great breakthrough in the social development of mankind. After all, this way of communication allows not only to conduct online business negotiations between representatives of different continents, it allows social adaptation of different layers of the population (adolescents, disabled people, etc.).

Interactive TV - what is it?

Accustomed to receiving the majority of services and functions online, consumers began to lose interest in TV, even in digital format. People do not want to be passive users, adjust to the schedule of broadcasts, watch advertisements and so on. Now for advanced consumers there is interactive television. This is a paid service that gives the subscriber a number of advantages:

• Choose any movie or program to watch;
• Watch the broadcast of all TV channels at a convenient time;
• To entertain through individual and network games;
• Talk to another telephone subscriber via a TV screen;
• Receive the desired news by pre-subscription;
• Be able to go online directly from the TV.

Today, the interactive television "Rostelecom" is popular. What can this universal operator offer the consumer? You need a special set-top box (STB), having connected and configured which, you will have access to all the possibilities of interactive TV. Rostelecom provides this service throughout Russia. For example, online TV from Beeline is not worse, but will it be useful in a remote village?

So, the main advantages of the package of TV-services "Interactive" are:

1. The thematic division of channels: children's, sports, news, etc., the amount is limited to the subscriber's tariff.
2. Ability to break down channels by age groups, protect children from unwanted information.
3. The ability to choose (from the extensive list) of any movie for viewing (the service is paid separately).
4. Actually an interactive view, i.e. the subscriber can pause, rewind, record any broadcast here and now.
5. Access to social networks.
6. Additional services, such as online maps, weather forecast, exchange rates and so on.

As far as it is convenient and relevant, of course, everyone decides for himself.

Training

The learning process is not only a gradual assimilation of new knowledge (facts, theories, rules, etc.), but also the education of various qualities of personality, abilities, norms of behavior. In education, there are many models and training methods that are aimed at achieving all of the above goals. Interactive training is a model aimed at creating conditions in which all students actively interact with each other. Its use requires high professionalism from the teacher, because this is an innovative method of conducting classes. Interaction of all participants of the process takes place in the mode of dialogue, discussion, joint analysis, assimilation of knowledge - in the process of role playing, passing, overcoming the modeled life situation.

The main goal when using such a method of teaching, as interactive, is the development in the child of an integral, harmonious personality. Only with this type of interaction the teacher does his direct work - he leads the learner to knowledge. That is, it accompanies, helps, directs the child to independent perception, analysis, assimilation of new information.

The main objectives of interactive learning:

• Awaken individual mental abilities, the ability of the student;
• Intensify internal discussion in the child;
• Help to accept and understand the information that came during the exchange;
• To take the student to an active position;
• To bring the process of interaction (information exchange) closer to the individual;
• Set up two-way communication between students.

It is also necessary to remember the interactive technologies in teaching, which became possible with the development of telecommunications and the Internet. First, it is the use of computer programs to activate the learning process: from creating presentations to improve the visual qualities of the material before modeling situations in virtual reality for a full immersion in the topic of the lesson. Secondly, the possibility of partial or full distance learning: from the transfer of abstracts and didactic material in electronic form before classes with a virtual (or real) teacher and online knowledge testing.

Virtual reality is most often used in vocational education. Helps to master different skills at a fairly high level (driving instruction, etc.). Also, there are many specialized programs and resources that help in the professional activity. These are programs for architects, physicists, chemists, designers, programmers and so on. The most promising at present is the direction of the development of interactive learning technologies with the use of gaming techniques, elements, processes. Interactive games are common among people of different ages and social status.

"Interactive" - this concept is mostly related to virtual reality. The main thing is not to forget that the real world is really interactive ...
