Research has shown that: a) students' initial ideas and mental models play an important role in physics learning, b) technology is an effective instructional tool if appropriately used, and c) assessment is a vital component of physics education research. Our research in using multimedia to teach optics to college students includes three phases: the investigation of students' understanding of light, the instructional design, and the assessment of students' learning.
In the first phase, a quantitative method was used to analyze students' free responses and to obtain a general picture of students' knowledge about light and optics. Based on this analysis, semi-structured interviews were designed to more fully investigate students' understanding of the wave nature of light. From the investigation of students' understanding of light and optics, some general ideas that form the basis for our design have been formulated.
