Jess’ E-Learning Blog

I looked at this as I was wondering around Help Island and I think that is is a very good learning activity. It is designed to teach you how can manipulate a prim (object you are creating… I think) via the options in the window shown. Each time you click on the window, the yellow highlights the section you clicked while the ‘narrator’ tells you how that section affects the shape of the prim. In addition, there is a sample prim (the wooden box) in front of the window which demonstrates (with green, blue and red arrows) what the narrator tells you. The position button is seen in the above photo. The rotate button below. I like this for several reasons:

• It is interactive

• There is a visual of the window, instead of describing, it shows you

• The information is given to the learner in three ways, through the narrator speaking, through the prim itself and through the window and the yellow highlights
