Development of animated material for e-learning in solar powered electric vehicles

E-learning elevated the communication of sophisticated scientific knowledge to higher dimensions and made the understanding and comprehensions much easier. Within the framework of the project “Teaching Energy for Sustainable World” (SustEner) financed by the European Union nine practically oriented modules with remote experiments or interactive animation materials will be offered in a web based learning portal. In this paper the development and the operation of one of the modules titled Solar Powered Electric Vehicles is presented.
