| Abstract | Computer Graphics concepts look very complicate to learn especially in 3D shapes. Previously, many of the basic concepts in curves have been taught from an objectivest point of view; the learners goal begin to gain knowledge, the educators to transmit it. The difficulty was in organizing examples in such a way that would "invisible' lead the student to grasp the higher order concepts. The virtual reality technology creates a viltual environment that makes learner feel present an efficient lesson as a learning tool. The virtual environment or the virtual world has many different types depending on the ranging between "presence" and "immersion". "Global networked, Easy-to-Use computers can enhance but only within an education environment that encourages students to question "facts" and seek challenges" (Johnton, 1995). The method of the electronic learning focuses on changing the presentation of abstract information to the passive learner to an active process in which meaning is developed on the basis of experience. By the way the learner is building an internal representation of knowledge and a personal interpretation of experience. It will be more efficient and meaningful of development of learning environments that encourage construction of understanding multiple perspectives The result obtained in this study provides the ways of curve representation in the vi1tual reality environment. |
