The Shape of Raindrops

March 20th, 2007 · 14 Comments
Assignment

Accomplishing this task, I was responsible for drawing the objects and adding some interactivity which the descriptions appears only when the viewer moves the mouse pointer over the different shapes of the raindrops. Through the process, the main difficulty we encountered was to make web surfing more productive, to evaluate the quality of information on various websites, and to select the appropriate information presented in the visual representation. Based our experience, we need to ask ourselves some questions before making the decision: (1)Who is responsible for the content? (2)Does the website have an editorial board? Is the information reviewed before it is posted? (3)Does the website identify the author? Does it rely on testimonials? (4)Is the information current? (5)Does the website have a privacy policy and tell us what information they collect?

Here is a visual display presented by Martin and me. You can click the link below and take a look.

I like the work, it don’t use animation at all, but it presents the content vividly.

Also unlike other’s work, this learning object is interactive. Well done!

Hi Dorothy,
Your ppt. shows the full information about how a rain drop is formed. The explanation is clear to understand and I admire the references you have stated in the end of the ppt.

Hi!

Your presentation is really informative especially the animation you have used to show the air pressure flow for the heavier drops looks informative.

It is a hard working in PPT. And I think it is very clear and interesting for readers to understand this concept.

This was another nice presentation.. Although, it was created in PowerPoint you took advantage of its features.. The text and images were well presented.. It is simple but attractive..

Hi Dorothy,

Your powerpoint is very informative, and the mouse over effect is very good. The graphics is nice. However, I have the feeling that, I can’t imagine they are raindrops. Just like, something in space (with the dark background)?

Ryan, thanks for your appreciation. Actually I drew the arrows directly from the Powerpoint several times before it meet my requirement.

I like this learning object because I am allowed to read the information carefully and the diagrams are nicely illustrated.

Dear Dorothy,

I really appreciate your powerpoint presentation of raindrop, especially you tell us the reasons and show us the examples of different shape and size of raindrop. We learn much from your raindrop presentation.
