The Need for Efficient and Flexible Educational Imagery : When Ambitious Visualization Products meet the Context of Actual Learning Environment

• This paper reports findings from a project implementing the Virtual Labs site featuring Flashbased animations developed at Stanford University. The main conclusion in this paper stresses the need to design for flexibility and adaptability of interactive media to better suit the specific situation teachers encounter in their everyday work in order to allow them to build their own audiovisual presentation kits based on various available resources. Ambitious but rigidvisualization products might otherwise end up not being used at all.
