Teaching physics in the virtual university: the mechanics toolkit

We describe an object-oriented ansatz for a simulation package that provides learners with a GUI, a generic simulation algorithm and some basic physical objects implemented as Java classes. Students can extend these classes in order to model additional physical laws that smoothly combine with the pr...

Zusammenfassung:We describe an object-oriented ansatz for a simulation package that provides learners with a GUI, a generic simulation algorithm and some basic physical objects implemented as Java classes. Students can extend these classes in order to model additional physical laws that smoothly combine with the previously modeled.
