Abstract :
Teaching computer graphics topics can be really attractive by means of usual multimedia technologies which include pictures, video clips and possibly some interactive demo programs. In order to accomplish this research, a gallery of corresponding multimedia didactic materials was gathered and structured corresponding to the curriculum of a computer graphics course. The implemented courseware was structured corresponding to the following subtopics: general 3D concepts; modeling; rendering; animation; virtual reality. Various presentation and dissemination methodologies were tested
