Applet Collection Virtual Physics Labs Virtual University Course Development Here is the site for our MultiMedia Physics Project And here is the site for our NSF-ITR suported lon-capa project 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. Info page for this course Sample page: projectile motion Sample page: momentum conservation Sample page: ballistic pendulum Sample page: beats Sample page: Carnot cycle 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. Info page for this course Sample page: principal rays for lenses Sample page: capacitor networks Sample page: Bohr model of the atom Links to the entrance into MSU's virtual university: Physics 231c Physics 232c "Mr. Bauer goes to Washington" - Display of our education research efforts at the US Congress, April 1997.

Electronic Publications: Virtual 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 in the proceedings of the 1998 Frontiers in Education Conference and featured on Apple's Educational Object Economy's website. You can also view the slides of a brief PowerPoint presentation that I made at the 1998 AAPT meeting.

Textbook The 2nd edition of the German version of our introductory physics cd-rom/textbook, titled cliXX Physik, has appeared with the Harri Deutsch publishing company. It covers mechanics, thermal physics, and oscillations and waves, electricity, magnetism, optics, and quantum physics. It contains over 150 QuickTime movies, over 60 Java applets, over 300 interactively graded numerical problems, over 200 true-false exercises, more than 120 multiple choice questions (all with solutions), many interactive derivations, and about 1000 html pages. The cd runs under the Windows, Mac, UNIX, and LINUX operating systems via Netscape or Explorer browsers (included in the cd). Buy it at Amazon.de.
