| Description | The aim of this paper is to present the opportunities provided by the TeX typesetting system and its packages for the creation of interactive teaching materials in PDF format. On the examples from mathematics we show the use and possibilities of interactive 3D and 2D graphics, animations, games, quizzes and tests. We introduce tools for creating these objects and benefits for their creators and users. These include high-quality mathematical typography, platform independence, easy accessibility (only free Adobe Reader is needed), evaluation of tests without an Internet connection, use for interactive whiteboards and much more. So we can make the learning process more attractive and more enjoyable for students (with minimum costs). |
