Teaching Microcomputer-Based Laboratory Physics Courses to Remote Sites Using Two-Way Video and Audio

这个项目旨在消除阻碍有能力的学生继续学习物理的障碍。它使用基于微型计算机的实验室(MBL)作为平台，提供更有效的学习环境，以帮助所有学生，即使是那些缺乏科学知识或从未获得学习物理机会的学生。这些MBL实验和活动涵盖了传统的两学期物理入门课程中教授的大部分主题。教室完全是流动的，可以在各种环境下授课。它使用文件服务器网络系统、笔记本电脑、通用实验室接口和各种接口探头。该项目使用具有双向视频和音频的互动电视(ITV)系统，使农村地区的学生能够更多地获得物理教育。

This project is designed to remove the obstacles that discourage capable students from continuing to study physics. It is using microcomputer-based laboratories (MBL) as a platform to provide a more effective learning environment to aid all students, even students who are science deficient or who have never been provided the opportunity to study physics. These MBL experiments and activities cover the majority of the topics taught in a traditional two-semester introductory physics course. The classroom is completely mobile to allow instruction in a variety of settings. It uses a file server network system, laptop computers, Universal Laboratory Interfaces, and a variety of interfacing probes. The project is allowing increased access to physics education for students in rural areas using an interactive television (ITV) system with two-way video and audio.
