Multimedia technologies as mean of optimization of educational process

In the article the necessity of optimization of educational process is examined with the purpose of more durable graphic preparation of students of technical institutes of higher. One of methods of optimization is the use of modern facilities teaching, among which most essential for teaching of descriptive geometry are those, which develop spatial thought, so necessary in studies and professional activity of engineer. Specific of educational discipline “Descriptive geometry” is such, that in it didactic principle of availability of the studied material is indissolubly related to didactic principle of evidentness, allowing most successfully to work out problems, related to mental perception of difficult by volume figures. From a number modern facilities of teaching most effective an author counts multimedia technologies and electronic textbooks. In the article their advantages are marked by comparison to a traditional lecture. Multimedia technologies allow, for the limited time to rotin the large volume of graphic material; to go back to previous material; to rotin the basic stages of decision of labour intensive tasks; to rotin the 3d images of surfaces under any point of view; to use animation; to rotin application of separate figures on the real constructions. On the different stages of employment it is possible to use multimedia presentations, as mean. Advantage of electronic textbooks is in that in them there are Refs.s on additional materials in the Internet, it allows to extend and deepen knowledges of students, form skills of independent necessary information retrievals. Due to evidentness and interactiveness, to the use of facilities of information technologies and computer possibilities as facilities of cognition active approach is carried out in the process of teaching of students. In the article a table over is brought with the results of watching of advantages of interactive board and tablet of data with a touch screen. All this hardware's enable effectively, it is optimum to use time of employment, organize activity of students.
