“…Thus, it is necessary for providing students to didactic lecture-based instruction accompanied by problem solving exercises both physical and mathematical analysis [1]. Several researchers conducted alternatives of instructional methodology for the course in the form of computer simulation as well as hardware [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

-A home-made and low-cost basic logic kit equipped with lecture notes has been developed. The main purpose of developing this kit is to support undergraduate students in learning basic digital system, which is delivered in the digital electronics topic of Basic Electronics-2 course, at Physics Department, Surabaya State University. This kit consists of input switches, output indicators, a battery, and several logic gates, i.e. AND, OR, INVERTER, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR, which are assembled on a matrix board and plywood. The kit, which was packed in a plastic box and its front panel was made from a glossy photo paper, is simply portable to be used in classroom and laboratory. The lecture notes contain of digital system principle with emphasis on practical experiments and applications. The kit and the lecture notes were composed so that students easily understand those using provided examples to conduct experiments of digital logic. They were developed using a 4-D model that includes define, design, develop, and disseminate. The usefulness of the kit and the readability of the lecture notes were evaluated by distributing a questionnaire to 20 students taking the course. It was found that the students give the score of 4.6, 4.15, 4.03, 4 out of 5 for content, language, helpful for understanding basic logic, and layout, respectively, which indicate that the kit and the lecture, notes is advantageous tools in achieving better understanding of basic digital system.

Two web-based laboratories of the FisL@bs network: Hooke's and Snell's laws

et al. 2011

FisL@bs is a network of remote and virtual laboratories for physics university education via the Internet that offers students the possibility of performing hands-on experiments in different fields of physics in two ways: simulation and real remote operation. This paper gives a detailed account of a novel way in physics in which distance learning students can gain practical experience autonomously. FisL@bs uses the same structure as AutomatL@bs, a network of virtual and remote laboratories for learning/teaching of control engineering, which has been in operation for four years. Students can experiment with the laboratories offered using an Internet connection and a Java-compatible web browser. This paper, specially intended for university educators but easily comprehensible even for undergraduate students, explains how the portal works and the hardware and software tools used to create it. In addition, it also describes two physics experiments already available: spring elasticity and the laws of reflection and refraction.

“…Understanding the principles of computer interfacing techniques therefore provides science graduates with a competitive advantage in the workplace. A number of computer based interfacing and process control based laboratories have been recently developed to address the increasing need for computer literate experimental scientists and engineers [1][2][3][4][5][6]. However, experience has shown that students do not always appreciate the value of learning interfacing techniques and can often see them as being less valuable than more 'hands-on' or 'pure physics' experiments.…”

In this paper we describe the recent changes to the curriculum of the second year practical laboratory course in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. In particular, we describe how Matlab has been implemented as a teaching tool and discuss both its pedagogical advantages and disadvantages in teaching undergraduate students about computer interfacing and instrument control techniques. We also discuss the motivation for converting the interfacing language that is used in the laboratory from LabView to Matlab. We describe an example of a typical experiment the students are required to complete and we conclude by briefly assessing how the recent curriculum changes have affected both student performance and compliance.
