UNIVERSAL LECTURE MATERIAL: DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY OF CREATION AND AUTOMATIC MODIFICATION

The automated technology of the conversion of various materials that are used by a teacher in their activity, into the uniformly issued electronic and further printing (paper) forms is offered. The technology is based on standards and requirements to digital prepress of the book edition, allowing to obtain the first-rate quality of the polygraphic press. The basic text of lectures and static graphic components, and also the dynamic graphic components in aggregate named the lecture material, it is necessary to unite in a breadboard model (layout) of lectures. The imposition is carried out by means of program complex InDesign of Adobe Systems Inc. The text is typed by vector fonts of Adobe Type 1 format. All static graphic components, except for photos, are created in EPS vector format. These formats provide the greatest possible smoothness of lines of symbols and drawings at any degree of increase/reduction. Two basic forms of representation of the lecture material are distinguished: for the press on paper and for demonstration on the audience screen – slide-show. For the purpose of uniform design of lectures they are combined in a book for the subsequent press in printing house or on an office printer. The book layout serves the base and the most difficult in technical aspect as the form of representation of the lecture material. By means of scripts in JavaScript language of scenarios it can be completely automatically practically obtained each chapter-lecture in the form of slide-show from the book layout. The basic software for creation of formulas, drawings, diagrams and ways of elimination of program defects are described.
