Televised
Lectures in Physics for Poets
Professor Bernice Durand
Department of Physics, UW-Madison
Professor Durand started a system of teaching Physics
107 with televised lectures. Since this project
was begun, many revisions had to be made based on the
changing needs of teaching format as well as in consideration
of the student audience. Durand has reached the
best solution with both televised lectures and a
website.
Strength of Materials
Professor Robert Foley
Department of Physics, UW-Stout
ABSTRACT
(no feature article available)
Professor Foley has been teaching Strength of Materials
for nearly twenty years and has developed extensive lecture
notes, sample problems, assignment and testing materials.
With the assistance of a UW-Stout Nakatani Center for
Learning Technologies Grant, these materials have been
converted to HTML format and developed into a WWW Strength
of Materials course at http://physics.uwstout.edu/strength/
Currently this material is being used
with an on-campus classroom-based course, but it is also
listed on the Internet at the University of Texas World
Lecture Hall at http://www.utexas.edu/world/lecture
under the Mechanical Engineering Section, and could
be used by off-campus students with some modification,
if needed. You can reach Professor Foley at foleyr@uwstout.edu
