The aim of this paper is to show how to develop a computer assisted learning module entitled "Loop forming mechanism of electronic flat knitting machines". The purpose is to support and modernize the teaching-learning process in the knitting laboratory in case of the discipline "Knitting Technologies - Electronic flat knitting machines". There have been designed and realized interactive animation programs for teaching and learning flat knitting technology with flat knitting machines with the following contents: the description of the flat knitting machine construction, the description of the knitting elements, the explanation of the needle selection principle, the description of the knitting and transfer paths. The module also contains a series of electronic quizzes for self-assessment during the learning module and the final evaluation. The drawings were made using the Corel Draw program, the interactive animations using Corel Rave and the assembly of learning components, by means of ModuleEst program. Laboratory module was designed based on an XML file taken as a model, amended contents needs of the laboratory and then used for transformation in the HTML laboratory module using ModulEst application. Laboratory module has an interactive graphical structure and contains navigation icons for direct access to the bibliography, webography, glossary, summary help page and test for self-programming and verification. The e-learning interactive tools presented in this paper represents the outcome of the process of innovating the working methods applied in the knitting laboratory of the Faculty of Textiles, Leather and Industrial Management of Iasi, within "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi. | Keywords
