“…Este trabajo describe una serie de animaciones interactivas de física basadas en Easy Java (Francisco Esquembre 2004;Christian y Francisco Esquembre 2007;Dormido y col. 2005), accesible a través de Internet, que el alumno puede utilizar para visualizar diferentes fenómenos físicos. Además, el alumno puede interaccionar con estas animaciones, de modo que dispone de una herramientaútil y versátil para facilitar su estudio individual.…”

This paper describes several applets based on Easy Java Simulations. These applets are available as "learning objects" in the UPV RiuNet database. They are freely available so they can be used for any subject of physics from the UPV or any other institution. Through these learning objects, students can perform several lab sessions in the subject of Physics, or can perform simulations for displaying different physical phenomena. A special feature to note is that the applets are designed so that students can make measurements on the screen, similar to how they would in the physics laboratory of the subject. This allows to set out several lab sessions and tasks of the subject via the Internet thanks to these learning objects.

“…The same happens when using professional scientific computation software such as Mathematica and Matlab. To avoid overloading students with programming notions or syntax, and focus the learning process on the relevant physics and mathematics, several computer modelling systems were created, for example, Dynamical Modelling System [23], Stella [24], Easy Java Simulations [25] and Modellus [26].…”

Scientific research involves mathematical modelling in the context of an interactive balance between theory, experiment and computation. However, computational methods and tools are still far from being appropriately integrated in the high school and university curricula in science and mathematics. In this chapter, we present a new way to develop computational modelling learning activities in science and mathematics which may be fruitfully adopted by high school and university curricula. These activities may also be a valuable instrument for the professional development of teachers. Focusing on mathematical modelling in the context of physics, we describe a selection of exploratory and interactive computational modelling activities in introductory mechanics and discuss their impact on student learning of key physical and mathematical concepts in mechanics.

“…Esta herramienta ha sido ampliamente utilizada en el diseño de laboratorios remotos de control como por ejemplo en (Dormido et al, 2008) o (Candelas et al, 2006), así como en laboratorios virtuales (Diaz et al, 2000;Christian and Esquembre, 2007). Tomando como base esta herramienta se han integrado diferentes laboratorios remotos utilizando varias opciones para el control a bajo nivel del prototipo deseado.…”
