Developing an Action Concept Inventory
Lachlan P. McGinness, C. M. Savage
We report on progress towards the development of an Action Concept Inventory (ACI), a test that measures student understanding of action principles in introductory mechanics and op…
Action Physics
Lachlan P. McGinness, C. M. Savage
More than a decade ago Edwin Taylor issued a "call to action" that presented the case for basing introductory university mechanics teaching around the principle of stationary actio…
Student experiences of virtual reality - a case study in learning special relativity
D. McGrath, M. Wegener, T. J. McIntyre +2
We present a study of student learning through the use of virtual reality. A software package is used to introduce concepts of special relativity to students in a game-like environ…
Teaching Physics Using Virtual Reality
C. M. Savage, D. McGrath, T. J. McIntyre +2
We present an investigation of game-like simulations for physics teaching. We report on the effectiveness of the interactive simulation "Real Time Relativity" for learning special…
