Multimedia Learning Module and Traditional Lecture:
Mutual Improvement
Abstract: "Physics 2000", a major German
multimedia project, addresses physics students after their intermediate
exam. Several learning modules for distance learning and Internet-based
experiments have been produced. Thus subjects hitherto unavailable at
the students' home universities, can be offered to them. The use of the
modules and experiments is being evaluated. The results of a first survey
show that, while students use their computers and the Internet all the
time, they are rather critical of e-learning in general. Yet, in a small
study we could show how the advantages of multimedia learning and traditional
lecture can combine and thus cancel out the disadvantages.
