Computerizing Introductory Physics Laboratories to Improve Student Learning

物理（13）本项目创建的课程将增强学生第一年的物理经验，并为在高级课程和专业中更重要的基于发现的课程铺平道路。因此，它将增加妇女对物理和技术的兴趣和专门知识。该项目将适应并实施计算机和技术为基础的实验室和练习，以介绍物理课程，包括车间物理和即时教学。课程调整将包括以发现为基础的主动学习技术。计算机接口实验允许实验者减少繁琐的或食谱上的任务的数量，并允许她对手头的数据有一个更直观、更完整的看法。万维网将广泛用于互动练习（physlet）和即时教学技术。网络允许学生进行互动；视觉练习并允许学生之间或学生与教授之间几乎即时的互动。

Physics (13) This project is creating a curriculum that will enhance students' first year physics experience and pave the way for a more vital discovery-based program in the advanced courses and the major. It will thus increase the interest and expertise of women in physics and technology.The project will adapt and implement computer and technology based laboratories and exercises into the introductory physics curriculum, including Workshop Physics and Just-in-Time Teaching. The curricular adaptations will include discovery-based, active learning techniques. Computer-interfaced experiments allow for the experimenter to reduce the number of tedious or cookbook tasks, and allow for her to have a more visual, complete view of the data at hand. The World Wide Web will be used extensively for interactive exercises (physlets) and for Just in Time Teaching techniques. The Web allows the student to carry out interactive; visual exercises and allows for almost instantaneous interaction among students or between the students and professor.
