SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating virtual labs for physics education using HTML5 and Java. Key resources mentioned include the website www.compadre.org/osp/ for Java code to create physics simulations and the book "An Introduction to Computer Simulation Methods" by Christianson, Tobochnik, and Gould. Additionally, the Processing.org IDE is highlighted for its interactive graphics capabilities, particularly the PixelFlow library. Participants also discuss various online simulators and the design of content documents and laboratory guides to enhance the educational experience.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of HTML5 and Java programming languages
  • Familiarity with physics education concepts
  • Knowledge of web development tools, specifically Drupal
  • Experience with simulation software and content creation
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Processing.org IDE and its interactive graphics examples
  • Research online physics simulators at phet.colorado.edu and other listed resources
  • Learn about content document design for educational materials
  • Investigate Drupal templates for developing educational websites
USEFUL FOR

Educators, web developers, and instructional designers interested in creating virtual labs for physics education will benefit from this discussion.

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
http://www.walter-fendt.de/ph14s/ http://www.educaplus.org/index.php?mcid=2
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.
