Title:
PICUP Webinar: Various ways to use HTML5 simulations in a physics class
Presenter:
Andrew Duffy
Description:
I have developed a set of 200 HTML5 simulations aimed at introductory physics, which are freely available on the web (see link below). This talk will focus on our experience at Boston University, incorporating these simulations into a large algebra-based introductory physics course for life-science students. I will show examples of various ways we use these simulations, including incorporating them into lab activities, embedding them in class worksheets and homework problems, using them for class demonstrations, and building an interactive e-book, on Top Hat, around them. Feel free to explore the simulations yourself ahead of time:
