Chris D. Porter, Joseph R. H. Smith, Eric M. Stagar +5
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in using Virtual Reality (VR) technology to benefit instruction, especially in physics and related subjects. As VR devices improve a…
A controlled study of virtual reality in first-year magnetostatics
Chris D. Porter, Jonathan Brown, Joseph R. Smith +4
Stereoscopic virtual reality (VR) has experienced a resurgence due to flagship products such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and smartphone-based VR solutions like Google Cardboard. T…
A Hybrid Approach for Using Programming Exercises in Introductory Physics
Chris Orban, Richelle M. Teeling-Smith, Joseph R. H. Smith +1
Incorporating computer programming exercises into introductory physics is a delicate task that involves a number of choices that may have an effect on student learning. We present…
A controlled study of stereoscopic virtual reality in freshman electrostatics
Joseph R. Smith, Amber Byrum, Timothy M. McCormick +3
Virtual reality (VR) has long promised to revolutionize education, but with little follow-through. Part of the reason for this is the prohibitive cost of immersive VR headsets or c…
A novel approach for using programming exercises in electromagnetism coursework
Chris Orban, Chris D. Porter, Nash K. Brecht +2
While there exists a significant number of web interactives for introductory physics, students are almost never shown the computer code that generates these interactives even when…
