The didactic computer animation as an example of the usage of the educational virtual space

Abstract

The continuous development of information technologies influences on the diversity of definition of the virtual space. It is very important to perceive the difference between the virtual reality and the cyberspace. Both notions are very often used as synonyms, but they are quite different from the point of view of communication. This problem is presented in the part of this paper that refers to the separate programming and didactic computer animation used, inter alia, in education area. Vocational education is one of the beneficiaries of the educational virtual space. This space lets implement the technological processes or methods of projecting, present the construction of machines and devices or analyse chemical processes or molecular structure. Moreover, it is possible to change the time of action’s duration. The delay or acceleration discussed processes lets perceive and understand presented phenomenon. Because of that didactic computer animation are more often used as a didactic material that is located in educational virtual space.
