Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatus are described herein that facilitate education through an interactive illustration. The systems, methods and apparatuses can facilitate both the design of a course employing the interactive illustration at an instructor interface and education utilizing the course at an educational terminal. The design of the course can be based on a selection of an image, a selection of an activity, a selection of a development level of a student and selection of a work stage. The same image can be utilized for different activities, development levels and work stages. Additionally, tools utilized with the interactive image can be the same for different images, activities, development levels and work stages. The tools can also be the same for the design of the course and the study utilizing the course.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a memory configured to store computer executable components, the computer executable components, comprising;

an instrument component configured to display a plurality of tools related to an interactive illustration on an instructor interface to facilitate design of a course and an educational terminal to facilitate study with the course; and

an image component configured to display an image selected from a plurality of images for the course related to the interactive illustration on the instructor interface and to display the image on the educational terminal to facilitate study with the course; and

a processor configured to facilitate execution of at least one of the computer executable components.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a data store configured to store the plurality of images.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the computer executable components further comprise a test component configured to provide a series of questions related to the course.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the computer executable components further comprise a course selection component configured to facilitate design of the course according to a subject and an educational level.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the course selection component comprises:

an image selection component configured to display the plurality of images on the instructor interface to facilitate selection of the image related to the interactive illustration;

an activity selection component configured to facilitate selection of the subject area for the course from a plurality of subject areas;

a level selection component configured to facilitate selection of an educational level of the course; and

a work stage selection component configured to facilitate selection of an educational goal for the course.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the plurality of subject areas comprise a historical-cultural studies area and an art criticism area.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein the educational level is customized for a user of the educational terminal.

8. A method, comprising:

employing a processor to facilitate execution of computer-executable acts, the acts comprising;

configuring a course employing an interactive image based on a selection of an image, a selection of an activity, a selection of a development level, and a selection of a work stage; and

displaying the interactive image on an educational terminal.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising creating a test based on the interactive image.

10. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

displaying a plurality of tools on the instructor interface to facilitate the selection of the image; and

displaying the plurality of tools on the educational terminal in connection with the interactive image.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising receiving the selection of the activity comprising a historical-cultural studies activity.

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising receiving the selection of the activity comprising an art criticism activity.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the displaying further comprises displaying a common set of tools in connection with the interactive image regardless of the selection of the activity and the selection of the developmental level.

14. The method of claim 8, further comprising receiving the selection of the developmental level customized for a user of the educational terminal.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the receiving further comprises receiving the selection of the developmental level corresponding to a grade level.

16. The method of claim 8, further comprising receiving the selection of the work stage, comprising a study work stage.

17. The method of claim 8, further comprising receiving the selection of the work stage, comprising a research work stage.

18. The method of claim 8, further comprising receiving the selection of the work stage, comprising a test work stage.

19. A computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions comprising:

configuring a course employing an interactive image based on a selection of an image, a selection of an activity, a selection of a development level, and a selection of a work stage; and

displaying the interactive image and a plurality of tools on an educational terminal.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the computer executable instructions further comprise displaying the interactive image and the plurality of tools on an instructor interface.
