Interactive/Animation

Animations and interactive media are two ways to engage students to learn in your course.

3D

3D objects help students visualize and interact with information in ways that are often unavailable or impossible to achieve in real life - such as adjusting the rotation of the planets in our solar system or seeing the inner workings of an airplane engine.

We are currently investigating the use of 3D online environments for teaching and learningbecause they can give students experiences unavailable in real life.

Flash

Flash movie files (.swf files) can be used to add animations, video, and fully-functional free-standing interactive media to your course. Flash movies are a versatile learning tool because they can combine virtual objects and video and can easily be embedded into web pages using html editors, such as Dreamweaver.

There is a wealth of online tutorials and information that quickly train new users to create Flash movies.
