    • Creating digital learning objects to teach abstract ideas in modern physics and astronomy 

      Martin, Brian; Brouwer, Wytze; Austen, David J. (University of Cyprus, 2010)
      Teaching modern physics and astronomy poses a daunting array of challenges. Many science curricula contain detailed outcomes and emphases which add to the complexity of this task, and increasingly we are becoming aware of ...
    • Designing applets that foster constructivist teaching and learning 

      Martin, Brian E.; Austen, David J.; Wright, Peter W.; Laue, Hans J. (Pedagogical Faculty of University of Ostrava, 2001)
      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 ...
    • M.A.P. modular approach to physics Laboratory 

      Austen, David J.; Brouwer, Wytze; Wright, Peter W.; Martin, Brian E.; Laue, Hans J. (Pedagogical Faculty of University of Ostrava, 2001)
      We present recent developments in the laboratory component of MAP - Modular Approach to Physics - Java enhanced modules to be used as aids in teaching the first three terms of university physics. The MAP project is very ...
    • Visualization of quantum phenomena 

      Austen, David J.; Brouwer, Wytze; Martin, Brian (University of Cyprus, 2007)
      Many abstract phenomena are, by their nature, "unseeable". What then does it mean to visualize quantum phenomena such as Compton Scattering, Alpha and Beta Decay, or collisional de-excitation? Perhaps more importantly, how ...
