Teaching and Learning Physics with Smartphones

The use of mobile technologies is reshaping how we teach and learn. In this paper we describe our research on the use of these technologies to teach physics. On the one hand we develop mobile applications to complement the traditional learning and to help students learn anytime and anywhere. The use of this applications has proved to have very positive influence on the students engagement. On t...

Teaching and Learning Physics with Interactive Video

Re-Purposeable Learning Objects Based on Teaching and Learning Styles

The interactive, multimedia learning object has become an important part of high quality online education. The cost of producing such learning objects can be prohibitive. Re-purposeable learning objects made with learning object templates allow instructors with little or no programming experience to produce highly interactive and immersive learning objects. These learning object templates are b...

Teaching Dimension in Web-Based Learning Communities

The article tackles the issue of the teaching dimension in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) contexts. In particular, it describes two Web-based courses that were held in 2006—one by the Istituto Tecnologie Didattiche – CNR and one by the University of Genoa, which, while sharing the socioconstructivist theoretical framework, adopt different approaches as far as the teaching dime...
