E- LEARNING LESSONS FOR TEACHING DIFFERENT CAD SYSTEMS IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE DESIGNER'S ADAPTABILITY

Summary/Abstract: In each area of activity, an employer must face and deal with novelties concerning materials, technologies, equipment, know- how, IT applications and software, which help him/ her complete specific tasks. Also, companies are struggling to diversify their products, to adapt them to the market demands and to cope with competition. For this reason, companies need to invest, develop and update their technology, equipment and to train their employees. In clothing companies, there is a big variety of CAD systems which are used for the same purpose: the elaboration of the technical documentation. Under these circumstances, the employees must learn the new functions and tools specific to the new software in a very short time and solve their usual activities by using the new software, with accuracy and professionalism. This paper presents interactive lessons about how to teach/ learn different software (for clothing industry), suitable for all persons who are working in the design field and who are forced to adapt to new situations in their professional life. As these lessons contain comparative demonstrations, learners can understand how to select and use the commands for designing clothes or apparel products in a proper manner, and which are the correct sequences of commands used for doing the same task in the CAD systems taken into consideration. These e-learning lessons offer learners the possibility of achieving their goals by themselves or in small groups, according to their purpose or needs.
