The Web Enhanced General Physics Course

The presentation describes the set of ready to use simulation software that can be utilized for both the lesson illustrations and the virtual lab assignments. The interactive simulations allow learners to explore a topic by comparing and contrasting different scenarios. Users may get a deeper exposure to the subject matter either by modifying parts of existing simulation or by building a new simulation from scratch. Another advantage for the users is the ability of simulation illustration to be paused and restarted for reflection and note taking. Each chapter of the course is followed by originally developed computerized test. The computerized tests are three levels hierarchical applications that allow the random access to the question data bank.
