The Workshop focuses on :

•   Studies, trends, researches and experiences in using multimedia and computer aided physics teaching and learning.
•   Studies and research results that characterise and identify those factors involved in improving teaching and learning physics by multimedia instruments, and in improving educational practice related more generally to the use of information computer technology.
•   The new internet resources and internet on-line services and applets for teaching and learning physics.

One of the main topics will be the presentation, by short talks, of the "state of the art" in these fields for different European Countries, with the aim of discussing the standardisation and the exchange of resources between the various projects running in different countries.

Several discussion items can or will be touched during the meeting, as there are:

•   MM (multimedia) and other subjects, like chemistry
•   MM in students labs
•   Simplifyng a topic in physics using a MM representation
•   MM and learning theory, learning psychology...
•   role of the teacher in a MM based teaching and learning environment
•   first examples of MM textbooks in physics
•   trend to Java applets, Physlets
•   remote lab
•   websites for physics teachers, internet portals
•   evaluation per net and computer ( tracking and monitoring)
•   virtual tutoring of students
•   synchronous and asynchronous communication techniques
•   virtual university in terms of "just in time teaching" (JiTT)

MAIN TALKS

•   At the moment we haven't the title and the abstract of the preview main talks.
