(cont.) visualize complex geometric arrangements. Finally, the tools developed represent an alternative to what learning technology has always done; transmit academic knowledge to the student. These tools are an example of how IT can be used to go beyond the traditional forms of academic teaching by using technology with an approach that is not attached to this transmission model. They also show how to exploit the adaptive potential of IT to serve a different, more effective kind of learning.
