[Production Story] Mec Movies - University of Cape Town

[corne.oo...@uct.ac.za]

Mec Movies - University of Cape Town

Lesson content to support the Mechanics of Materials courses. It included examples, games, theory and more.

Based on MecMovies 2.0 by Timothy Philpot [https://web.mst.edu/~mecmovie/] the material was reworked into a Tsugi tool by Denham Preen and supported and managed by Sa-aadat Parker.

User Experience:

The link in the Sakai site opens up a new window containing the welcome page of the Tsugi module.

As the student progresses through the sections and chapters various animations, examples and questions are shown to help them understand the concepts around the mechanics of materials. Their progress is saved and available for review by the lecturer on another page.

Limitations:

Currently most of the example content is shown in Flash movies and it is planned to translate them into HTML 5.

Production:

This will be the first semester that the tool will be used to support a course.

This is really cool.   A perfect example of tools that include content + pedagogy and help richen a course experience.

Have you figured out how to add screen shots to the detail page?   Take a look here:

https://github.com/tsugitools/iframe/blob/master/register.php#L30

https://github.com/tsugitools/iframe/tree/master/store

It is super easy - you can add lots of new information to register.php for the store.
