1999-present: Starting at
August
1999-present: Working with Wolfgang Christian, we have
established an extremely successful program in physics education research and
development using the Java applets called Physlets and the Java packages,
applications, and programs from the Open Source Physics (OSP) project. We are
an award-winning, nationally and internationally recognized authority in the
authoring, design, and effective use of interactive curricular materials. We have authored over 1000 Physlet-based
exercises from introductory physics to advanced quantum mechanics. Much of the
material we have written appears on the peer-reviewed MERLOT Web site, on the
iLumina and ComPADRE NSF digital libraries, and on the Companion Web sites to
several Prentice Hall texts. I have co-authored
eight books: Multi-Representational
Mechanics and
Multi-Representational Electromagnetics
(in Hebrew), Physik mit Physlets, Fizika s
Fizleti: Interaktivne predstavitve in raziskave za uvod v fiziko, Physlet® Quantum Physics: An

have also received a 2002 MERLOT Award for Exemplary Online Learning Resources
and also the paper, “Physlets for
Quantum Mechanics,” Comp. Sci. Eng. 5, 90-96 (2003), was deemed “Best
