USING INTERACTIVE MOVIES TO LEARN THE REPRESENTATION METHODS OF KNITTED STRUCTURES

Summary/Abstract: Today, the vast majority of schools at all levels have computer labs and Internet access. The evolution of information technology in hardware and software create new opportunities for improving teaching and learning activities. This paper focuses on the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process, using new methods such as modern resources of information. In the teaching process, the interactive movies have a double role, they substitute the classic didactic materials, making the lessons more attractive and each student can understand and learn in his own rhythm. This educational method has a flexible character. The teacher, in accordance with the operational objectives of the lesson, chooses the content and structure of lessons, and then designs their own interactive movie. To systematize and consolidate the knowledge about a topic, students can access these types of interactive lessons in school and at home. By this method, the teacher can provide the desired volume of information in a relatively short period of time. In the remaining time, students are invited to ask questions, they can discuss the matter, they are asked to perform a series of tasks or to solve some exercises. For this purpose, the authors have designed several interactive films. Each film plays and describes three methods of representation of the weft knitted structures. The films have been carried out using Corel RAVE application. These interactive movies were combined into an HTML file using ModulEst application. The result obtained is a lesson in HTML format that can be posted on the internet. Graphic representations of knitted structures were made using the company's M1 Stoll Workstations and drawing program Corel Draw. The interactive lesson will be used by students from vocational schools and universities.
