Macromedia's Flash MX is a web development tool particularly adept for creating rich multimedia content. This module is designed as an introduction to Flash MX. Emphasis is placed on designing illustrations of mathematics. Through a series of units, learners will acquire and demonstrate Flash techniques for creating instructional resources. Each lesson within the units starts with a completed illustration of a mathematical concept or theorem. Pages within the lesson detail the construction of the illustration. At the conclusion of the lesson, an opportunity for elaborative rehearsal is provided.

This module is divided into the following units:

• Unit 0: Introduction
  • Course design
  • Publishing
• Unit 1: Flash Basics
  • Tools and Panels
