from generalpictorial graphics, which may or may not be labeled adequately, towards sophisticated abstractrepresentations that attempt to reflect a meaningful understanding of the phenomenon requires ashift in the level of detail and/or simplification. This is where modeling can support refinedrepresentation and enhance meaning-making.A model is a representation of an idea, system, theory or phenomenon that accounts for itsknown or inferred properties. The model differs from the system—the students definition, rulesand parameters used to frame the phenomenon—because modeling can add additionalinformation that is not inherent in the phenomenon25,26,27,28. Models cannot interact directly withthe ideas they represent; they are intended to be

graphics course was delivered in several formats. Flash videos of voiced-overPowerPoints (Figure 2), sketching demonstrations (Figure 3), and SolidWorks demonstrations(Figure 4) were created to deliver the textbook and CAD content for the course. SolidWorksvideos were updated during the summer of 2008 to reflect the current version of the software.Study guides were made available in a pdf format, and students were required each week tocomplete a 10-20 question WebCT Vista assessment (Figure 5).Students in all hybrid sections of the course were required to have a laptop computer withwireless capabilities. SolidWorks was installed on the students’ laptops, but the software onlyfunctioned if the computer was able to access a campus license server
