260248 SE Multimedia in Physics-Teaching (2010W)

The introduction to the didactics of media based teaching and the presentation of the currently available media for physics teaching constitute the information oriented part of the lecture. The analysis of given examples following precise criteria will be the task for the teamwork and the results of the teams will be documented. Based on those findings all the participants will prepare their own multimedia teaching units and will present and discuss them in class. All students have to prepare at least one unit. Sequences of more units which refer to related subjects can be prepared also by groups of two or three students. The research of the material has to be done by the students themselves. The resulting collection represents for the participants a pool of multimedia units for their future activity as physics teachers.The course provides a model of blended learning. Contemporaneously to regular attendance in class, participation in the e-learning course elements is required. Based on the structures of "Moodle" and "PHP-groupware", contents will be created and discussed. In this way the use of electronic information, communication and collaboration will be transferred and taught on the meta-level. Evaluation and grading are based on the participation in the teamwork, the logs and the participation in the discussion as well as the preparation and the presentation of the teaching units. Therefore participants must commit to regular attendance of the classes. Students may not be absent more than twice.
