Easy Understanding of Magnetism Via Specific Methods of Computer Assisted Education

AbstractThe meaning and effectiveness of computer assisted education in teaching physics at high school level are introduced. Difficult notions related to magnetism are introduced in a friendly manner by using typical tools of computer assisted education, including animations and intuitive graphical representations. Different techniques for the quantitative characterization of the magnetic behavior of the systems are also presented, in the frame of high school physics knowledge and abilities. Experimental results are provided by using remote laboratory techniques. An exemplification is illustrated via the Team Viewer program. The advantages of the remote laboratory facility with respect to virtual experiments are discussed
