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
 
Physics 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.

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.
