Client: Amy Mangrich, Learning Technology Center, UW-Milwaukee
The beginning of a series of animations created to demonstrate a number of principles of color theory and various visual properties related to optical illusions.
Biology
tRNA translation
Created July 2004. View tRNA translation | Download tRNA translation (325k zip file)
Client:
Scott Cooper, Ph.D., Department of Biology, UW-La Crosse
A series of three flash animations was created to demonstrate the process of RNA translation:
1) an animation of the entire process
2) an interactive animation where the student must place the first pieces of the translation into their correct starting locations, and
3) an interactive animation where the student must place the correct pieces of the translation into the correct locations at every stage of the translation.
The three animations are intended to demonstrate exactly the same process, but can be used in a sequence to understand the process in a step by step manner.
Chromosome duplication
Created December 2004, View Chromosome duplication
Client: Anne Galbraith, Ph.D., Department of Biology, UW-La Crosse
A large collection of simple animations, puzzles and videos demonstrating the process of chromosome duplication.
The 24 animations in this collection were designed to be included with a class website as a part of three learning objects showing maternal, and paternal chromosome duplication. The animations are a mix of small animations, puzzles and streaming video demonstrating solutions to the puzzles.
This project is in still in production.
Chemistry
Unit Conversion
Created August 2004. View Unit Conversion | Download Unit Conversion (297k zip file)
Client: Kim Kostka, Ph.D., Chemistry Department , UW-Rock County
This exercise illustrates unit conversion by interactive examples. These animations were designed to allow chemistry students to experiment in a "virtual lab".
The first animation provides students with a virtual measuring cup that can be rotated to illustrate how the same amount of water can be represented in two different measuring units.
The second animation gives students access to a multi-unit scale. They use the scale to measure several very different objects in different units. If they wish to see how the known measurement of an object converts to the displayed units, a button on the marker board will display the unit conversion formula.
H Atom
Created August 2004. View H Atom | Download H Atom (408k ZIP file)
Client: Mohamed Ayoub, Ph.D., Chemistry Department, UW-Washington County
This series of 10 animations were adaptations of Powerpoint slides for use on a class website. Each animation demonstrates a property or principal of the behavior of electrons in a hydrogen atom when exposed to energy. The animations are used to visually represent the theories governing atoms in general, and to provide visual feedback to the equations used in working in Chemistry.
Atomic Forces
Created November 2004. View Atomic Forces | Download Atomic Forces (330k zip file)
Client: Katherine Bichler, Ph.D., Chemistry Department, UW-Manitowoc
The five animations adapted from Powerpoint slides demonstrate the various atomic forces found in nature. The first four demonstrate individual concepts while the fifth module summarizes the four other concepts into a flowchart demonstrating the circumstances in which the forces occur.

NAE Phonics

Client: Susan Huss-Lederman, Ph. D., Department of Languages and Literatures, UW-Whitewater
Two interactive exercises were created in this project to assist students in an English as a Second Language (ESL) course to learn the placement of simplified IPA symbols used to represent the sounds in North American English in an organizational grid. The desired result is that the student will be able to remember the characteristics of each character. One exercise allows the student to self-train the location of the consonant sounds. The second exercise allows the student to self-train vowel placement. Each animation presents the various symbols in stages.
Communicative Disorders
Articulation index threshold
Created March 2005. View Articulation index threshold
Client: Scott Bradley , Ph. D., Department of Communicative Disorders, UW-Whitewater
This is an interactive graph made which automates calculations made during a hearing exam. A patient would be tested for the ability to hear at particular frequencies and decibels. The person's results are represented on the graph by dragging the red circles along the graph. The graph then calculates the articulation index -- the percentage of hearing loss when related to the hearing of human speech.
When all handles are below the highlighted area, 100% loss is calculated. If the handles are beyond the highlighted area, the patient has total hearing ability. Handles placed inside the pink area mean varying degrees of hearing ability.
This project is still in production.
Phonetic
Created January 2008. View Phonetic
Client: Ruiying Ding, Department of Communicative Sciences & Disorders, UW-Whitewater
This is an interactive module that displays a word to be spelled phonetically.
By using the symbols near the bottom, students can click and drag them into the correct box in the answer. After completing the correct sequence of symbols, they can check their answer by pressing the "Check Answer" button. They can also press the "Reset" button to clear the answer boxes.
After successfully entering the correct sequence and checking it, a new word is presented. In the original, there are a total of 50 words to phonetically spell. Here, there are two. To make things easier, an answer key has been provided.
