Multimedia virtual laboratory for physics in the distance learning

Abstract

Research goals: the description of technology of software development in Physics Virtual Laboratory for Distance Learning System.Research objectives: the architecture of client and server parts of the lab, the functionality of the system modules, user roles, as well as the principles of virtual laboratory use on a personal computer.Object of research: the distance learning system “Kherson Virtual University”.Subject of research: virtual laboratory for physics in the distance learning.Research methods used: analysis of statistics and publications.Results of the research. The development of the software module “Virtual Lab” in distance learning system “Kherson Virtual University” (DLS KVU) applied to the problems of physics on topics kinematics and dynamics. The information technology design and development, the structure of the virtual laboratory, and its place in the DLS KVU are described. The principal modes of the program module operation in the system and methods for its use in the educational process are described.The main conclusions and recommendations. The use of this software interface allows teachers to create labs and use them in their distance courses. Students, in turn, will be able to conduct research, carrying out virtual laboratory work.
