Three-dimensional models’ usage in courses placed on Moodle platform

Abstract

One of the biggest benefits of virtual education is the ability to easily explain complex processes and principles using animations and interactive 3D models. The purpose of this study is to determine which 3D software product should be used for the display of interactive graphic engineering documents, so that the visualization and manipulation of 3D models provide useful support to students of industrial engineering. In order to create these didactic materials a multitude of tools can be used: AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, Adobe Acrobat Pro etc. This paper proposes some examples of the above-mentioned didactic materials, including animations and interactive 3D models used in Moodle.
