    Labs Virtual
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on creating virtual labs for physics education using technologies like HTML5 and Java. Participants express a desire for expert guidance and inquire about online courses. Resources mentioned include a Java code repository for physics simulations available at compadre.org, along with a recommended book titled "An Introduction to Computer Simulation Methods" by Christianson, Tobochnik, and Gould. Additional tools highlighted are the Processing.org IDE and the PixelFlow library for interactive graphics. The conversation also covers finding existing online physics simulators, developing content documents for educational purposes, redesigning laboratory guides, and creating a website for hosting virtual labs, emphasizing a constructivist approach to learning.

Hello,
I want to learn how to create virtual labs (html5, java and on) for physics education purposes. I could work on my own, but I am more interested in getting a solid background from experts. Is there any online course in which I could enroll?
Thank you
 
Science news on Phys.org
This is not a course but some java code that allows you to create physics simulations:

www.compadre.org/osp/

There's also an accompanying book by Christianson, Tobochnik and Gould: An Introduction to Computer SImulation Methods

Also there is the Processing.org IDE with many interactive graphics examples. In particular, there's a third party library with examples of systems of particles called PixelFlow that is quite amazing.

1. Search of simulators on the web.
Location of virtual simulators on the web.
https://phet.colorado.edu/es/simulations/category/physics

2. Design and development of content documents.
Format for the elaboration of content documents (theoretical, workshops, evaluation) and elaboration of videos.
Three content documents and Three video scripts.
3. Review and redesign of laboratory guides.
Review of manuals of mechanical physics laboratory guides existing at the Cooperativa de Colombia University Neiva, restructuring and production of format for laboratory practices mediated by simulators under constructivist approach. Three elaborated laboratory guides, selection of simulators.
4. Design and development of the website.
Physical design (paper) of the web page, navigation map, links, buttons, screens. Review and choice of one of the free distribution templates that Drupal offers to develop the engineering part of the page or web portal where the virtual laboratory of mechanical physics will be housed.
 
Okay, so this is something I have been thinking about for a long time, because it's something I am passionate about and something that has personally affected me - and that's the generally negative attitude that people take towards physics. I think it's fair to say that the secondary (Middle+ High) school that I go to is one of the most elite in the country - yet I am yet to see another person with a passion for physics. There are countless who have dedicated their life to Chemistry...
