Abstract :
This paper represent an approach of applying the graphical visualization methods to the educational process. The Virtual electrotechnologic factory is created based on theory and contains the theory itself. The technology utilized during the process of the development was the Flash multimedia platform. This allowed us to visualize all the theoretical processes, logically connect them and link them with other multimedia content such as animations, video, still images or audio. Moreover factory was created in two language versions and possibility of offline and online usage is available. Virtually all the content is loaded into the factory from external folders and thus allows easy editing without the need to access the Flash source files. This method of visualizing educational material may be used for other areas of education.
