Development of massive open online courses based on 3d computer graphics and multimedia

Abstract

This work is devoted to the creation of a laboratory workshop (virtual) for open online courses based on programs of three-dimensional computer graphics and multimedia. The issues of using SolidWorks, Autodesk® 3DS MAX software in distance learning are discussed. The software was used to prepare training materials for the courses "Theory of machines and mechanisms", "Computer Graphics" and "Engineering and Computer Graphics". Using the software product SolidWorks, Autodesk® 3DS MAX has significantly improved visual part of the course. Finally, authors has developed new software tools for organizing the independent work of students in an interactive mode. The article concludes with graphs of student performance in comparison with the previous grade.
