Multimedia Support for Teaching Physics

The majority of the educational tools offer just a lot of facts, which are explained mostly by a text, rarely by some diagrams or simulations and only a few of them are interactive. We have created an interactive multimedia application, which simulates four experiments in physics and therefore can be used as a support for teaching physics. Our software has been developed using Macromedia Flash ...

Physics Today Psychological insights for improved physics teaching

Teaching concepts in epidemiology.

In the United Kingdom most medical students are first introduced to epidemiology as a formal discipline during their clinical years-usually during a course in social or community medicine. The amount of time allocated to the subject varies greatly between schools, but everywhere epidemiology is a recent addition to an already overcrowded curriculum and, like all parvenus, has a need to justify ...

Teaching Biological Physics

© 2005 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0503-030-9 O the past few years, people trained in physics and working in physics departments have taken an unprecedented interest in biological problems. A host of new experimental and theoretical techniques has opened up the quantitative study of systems ranging from single molecules to networks of simple agents performing complex collective t...
