Active Learning Assignment Using On-line Interactive Simulations

Students access on-line interactive simulations that allow the exploration of physical systems. They have control over the key parameters which they can actively change and observe the impact on the system under study. The assessment item requires them to explore a particular aspect of the simulation, demonstrating an understanding of the underlying physical processes. A variety of simulations are available across the internet for use across different discipline areas.
