Impact of a Distance Training Programme on the Development of Teaching & Training Design Skills for Faculty Members

The study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a distance training programme (DTP) to develop the training and educational design skills of a sample of faculty members. A total of (25) members of the pilot sample were taught by Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University. To achieve the objective of the study, the design of a distance training programme was conceived according to the General Design Educational Model (ADDIE) via the Zoom online platform to develop skills in educational and training design (ETD) skills. Actually, two tools have been developed, a tool that measures the knowledge aspect of educational content and a tool that measures the performance aspect of the programmes content for the purpose of determining the level of the pilot group pre and post training programme in the development of educational and training design skills. The results showed the effectiveness of the distance training programme in developing the training and educational design skills of the faculty. In the light of the studys findings, the researcher presented a series of recommendations and suggestions, including the need to adopt distance training (DT) as a sustainable strategy for members professional development, to intensify distance training programmes on the application and use of educational and training design skills

Study on the Design of Campus Network-based Personalized English Teaching Platform

College English teaching is in urgent need of a platform which may improve stu-dents' initiative in English learning, raise learning interest and enhance English teaching management, in order to improve students' English level and facilitate the teacher's English teaching management. The popularity of campus network facili-ties in various universities provides hardware support for the establishment of a personalized English teaching platform based on campus network. The study is aimed at designing a personalized English teaching platform based on campus network, which takes VBSCRIPT as programming language and SQL Server as database software of the platform, completing the interactive processing of the da-ta based on the data structure of client computer/server (B/S). First, the paper in-troduces the relevant teaching and education theories, laying theoretical and tech-nical basis for the design of personalized English teaching platform in combina-tion with the computer technology used in the design of the platform. The combi-nation of questionnaire and analytic study is used in the design of the system from various aspects, and makes the design of the platform come true. At last, the testing of the system verifies that the system meets the relevant functional re-quirement. The platform would provide an open environment for English learning and stimulating the guidance of teachers and is of great significance to improve the level of college English teaching
