Graphics
The use of graphics in the classroom can have many forms serving multiple purposes.
- 3D with or without animation: A chemistry class can explore the complexities of a molecule or an art class can view the proper technique for making various brush strokes. The possibilities are endless!
- Simulations: Useful when revealing a cause/effect relationship, simulations can be interactive or can run independently as a demonstration.
Example: Center for Human Simulation by the University of Colorado.
- Graphical Representations: Some possible course enhancements include relational charts, information hierarchies, and identification grids.
Example: Graphic Organizers
