The Development and Use of Visual Images and Interactive Activities on the Web for Teaching Beginning Textiles

---

Abstract

The purpose of this session is to pre-sent some of my experiences in developing and using visual images and interactive activities on the Web to teach Beginning Textiles. This has enabled me to incorporate more interactive activities into the lecture periods. I have used a variety of visual images on the web which include photomicrographs of fibers, yarns, and fabrics, 35mm photos of fabrics, a swatch book, and drawings and diagrams. The photo-micrographs and the pictures of dobby and jacquard weave fabrics were scanned and the images were converted to JPEG format in Adobe Photoshop. Other visuals that I have used are swatch books and links to other web sites with good visual images.
