The training engineer's work is about tuning software to provide undergraduate students with a practical learning method. It thus seems to sustain the interaction paradigm: learning is a dynamic of human actions and software reactions, similar to a serious game in a virtual world. Education of the engineers is to produce theoretical knowledge in the courses and carrying out practical activities to strengthen the information obtained. If practical activities require the physical presence of the student in the lab, the work of course, where it is not required, you can rely on the support of technology. The trend, at least in the textile, education is to participate less classes and to learn in a more familiar environment. The field of technical textiles requires knowledge of many stages of processing and phenomena's. Traditional approach to teaching these procedures has the disadvantage of a presentation largely of information not directly corresponding with the actual phenomenon. For this purpose requires the use of multimedia presentations for the connection between information and the phenomenon described. The goal of this paper is to present an LMS (Learning Management Systems) based on open source software that can be used to examine the processes of obtaining technical fabrics. Xerte is an e-learning environment created by authors at Nottingham University; it provides open source tools making it easy for both technical and non technical content authors to create very interactive learning resources. It is a stand-alone fully featured e-learning environment designed to allow the creation of rich interactive material for users who are familiar with scripting. | Keywords
