    • 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 ...

    • Our climate, our change - using digital learning objects to present the complex science of global climate change 

      Martin, Brian; Mahaffy, Peter (University of Cyprus, 2010)
      Global Climate Change (GCC) is arguably one of the most significant challenges ever faced by humankind. The complex science of GCC leaves the general public and teachers at both secondary school and tertiary levels perplexed.. ...

    • Simulations, applets and learning in schools 

      de Bruijn, Imme; Martin, Brian; Brouwer, Wytze (Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
      This paper reviews the problem of establishing learning effects with computer simulation packages in science teaching. It is stated that evidence is accumulating about the effects of simulations in a laboratory environment ...

    • 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 ...
