COURSE GOALS: The course aims at training students to create their own multimedia web pages and presentations. This is achieved through the gradual development of the final work project - an interactive lecture in physics for primary schools. Through the course, students perform and record demonstration experiments, capture and edit photos, sounds and movies, made drawings and animations, and design their own website. Through this creative process they also acquire experiences in physics teaching methods.
