Implementing Learning Objects in Mechanics

This presentation by Anbo Chen and Gus Evrard at the University of Michigan discusses the implementation of learning objects in physics education, focusing on the use of Java applets to enhance understanding of mechanics concepts. It covers the advantages and challenges of using digital tools, emphasizing the importance of coherence, interaction, and visualization in learning. The authors provide examples such as 2-D projectile motion and solar system simulations, highlighting how these tools promote positive reinforcement and engage students in deeper understanding and critical thinking beyond mere gaming fun.
