Web Physics

Devoted to Teaching and Learning Physics with World Wide Web Technology

WebPhysics is a network of resources for introductory physics teaching. This WebPhysics site is maintained by Prof. Andy Gavrin , Department of Physics, at Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI.)

Instructional applications of World Wide Web technology are developing at a rapid pace at various institutions including IUPUI. This site will feature some of these developments and provide a forum to share experiences and resources with the physics teaching community.

Examples of Curricular Material

IUPUI is currently collaborating with the United States Air Force Academy and with Davidson College on a project entitled Just-In-Time Teaching.
For more information about the project please visit our JITT pages .

To examine the actual curricular material used in the IUPUI calculus-based introductory physics sequence please visit the Phys152/251 pages.

What is WebPhysics?

Web Physics is a flexible low budget outlet for small volume, high quality, html based curricular material.
Web Physics provides a forum for physics educators to exchange curriculum ideas and resources that make use of the Web technology (primarily public domain material.)
WebPhysics provides a medium for the dissemination of student work.
WebPhysics is democratic. Let the democracy of the net do the weeding.
Web Physics has low initial investment.
Web Physics is not a vendor's forum.
