Abstract

A strategy of “cycles of learning” has been implemented using a number of e-learning techniques. Lessons have been divided into sets of unique learning cycles and utilized many times at increasing levels of detail and focus. Each lesson is built upon a number of key ideas and concepts for which we have implemented a set of e-Learning tools. These materials are designed to make the best use of the limited student contact instructors have in a Community College environment by producing more learning per unit time. Animated Maple worksheets and interactive spreadsheets have been created for introductory optics and College Physics courses. These procedures are available in the classroom, in the lab and from distance-learning locations. When combined these tools greatly expand the topics and range of detail that can be covered without the need of additional time and materials, increasing the amount learned in a single lab session.
