The Modular Approach to Physics (MAP) project makes extensive use of “educational objects” which include
Flash animations, Java Applets and Java Applications. A paramount concern in the design of these objects has
been to work from an overtly constructivist philosophy. In this paper we will look at the design of educational
objects and provide examples of how constructivist principles can be applied to the development of effective
computer based learning objects. Our talk will include a demonstration of some of the JAVA applets and Flash
animations currently used in the MAP project and a “behind the scenes” look at how and why they were
constructed.
