ABSTRACT

This paper is about the role of computer graphics in elementary education in a developing country context. The paper discusses how learners can benefit from using an interactive Computer Graphics application. The paper presents a project that attempts to produce a generic tool to advance the educational use of virtual laboratories. The generic tool presents a world composed of tiles in a 3D environment. Future research and development are also discussed.
