Virtual University Course
Development
- Since Fall 1997, the Department of Physics and
Astronomy is offering my virtual
university introductory physics class, PHY205 /
PHY231c. It covers mechanics, waves, and thermal physics.
- Since Spring 1998, the second semester course of my
virtual physics sequence is also online. It covers
electricity, magnetism, optics, quantum physics, and an
introduction into nuclear and elementary particle
physics.

University Development
- The delivery engine for my virtual university classes
is MSU LectureOnline, a software system written by
my former student Gerd Kortemeyer. Gerd and I have
written a paper that
explains the main concepts of this system. This paper was
published
on Apple's Educational
Object Economy's web-site.
- You can also view the slides
of a brief PowerPoint presentation that I made at the
1998 AAPT meeting.

Textbook
 The
German version of our introductory physics cd-rom/textbook,
titled cliXX Physik, has appeared.
It covers mechanics, thermal physics, and oscillations and
waves. It contains 70 quicktime movies, 25 java applets,
over 150 interactively graded numerical problems, over 100
true-false exercises, 60 muliple choice questions (all with
solutions), many interactive derivations, and about 500 html
pages.
The cd runs under the Windows, Mac, UNIX, and LINUX
operating systems via Netscape or Explorer browsers
(included in the cd).
