Sobre
Informações gerais do curso
This MOOC on using digital media in the physics classroom offers a comprehensive learning experience. You'll find short videos on key topics, in-depth assignments, opportunities for discussion and exchange in the forum, and quizzes that you can complete anytime, anywhere. The course is designed for both current and future physics teachers. It is modular in structure, allowing you to complete it in full or focus on specific sections based on your prior knowledge and interests.

Conteúdo do curso
In addition to the
introductory unit on the use of digital media in physics lessons, you can
explore various units on specific digital tools that are essential in the
physics classroom, based on your needs. The course offers units on the
following digital media and topics:
(a) simulations and animations,
b) explanatory videos,
c) digital data acquisition,
d) video analysis,
e) smartphones in physics lessons,
f) microcontrollers,
g) interactive screen experiments (ISE),
h) augmented reality (AR),
i) mathematical modelling,
j) 3D-Printing and
k) Artificial Intelligence (AI) in physics lessons.
In addition to the basic modules
on the mentioned topics, some units also offer in-depth modules that cover more
complex, application-oriented examples and content. Each unit lasts
approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
At the start of the course, you can opt to take
a voluntary assessment, which will provide personalised recommendations for
selecting the most relevant units.
Objetivos do curso
By the end of this course, you should ...
- be able to competently handle different digital media specific to physics lessons
- be able to evaluate the application of different digital media in physics lessons, considering both their advantages and disadvantages, as well as insights from physics education research
- be able to plan and implement effective learning scenarios using different digital media and taking into account findings from physics education research
Conhecimento prévio
No specific prior knowledge is required.
Procedimento do curso
The course starts on September 1st, 2025. It is possible to individually tailor the course to your specific needs. At the start of the course, you have the option to complete a voluntary initial assessment, which will provide personalised recommendations for selecting the most relevant units.
Certificado
For actively participating in the course you will receive an automatic certificate which includes your username, the course name as well as the completed lessons. We want to point out that this certificate merely confirms that the user answered at least 75% of the self-assessment questions correctly.
