Abstract

Teaching has become a complex essential tool for students' abilities, due to their different levels of learning and understanding. In the traditional offline teaching methods, dance teachers lack a target for students 'classroom teaching. Furthermore, teachers have limited time, so they cannot take full care of each student's learning needs according to their understanding and learning ability, which leads to the polarization of the learning effect. Because of this, this paper proposes an online teaching method based on Artificial Intelligence and edge calculation. In the first phase, standard teaching and student-recorded dance learning videos are conducted through the key frames extraction through a deep convolutional neural network. In the second phase, the extracted key frame images were then extracted for human key points using grid coding, and the fully convolutional neural network was used to predict the human posture. The guidance vector is used to correct the dance movements to achieve the purpose of online learning. The CNN model is distributed into two parts so that the training occurs at the cloud and prediction happens at the edge server. Moreover, the questionnaire was used to obtain the students' learning status, understand their difficulties in dance learning, and record the corresponding dance teaching videos to make up for their weak links. Finally, the edge-cloud computing platform is used to help the training model learn quickly form vast amount of collected data. Our experiments show that the cloud-edge platform helps to support new teaching forms, enhance the platform's overall application performance and intelligence level, and improve the online learning experience. The application of this paper can help dance students to achieve efficient learning.
