Abstract

This paper documents the design principles derived and modeling pedagogy implemented) of creating electronic book-chapters (epub3 format) for computers and tablets using Easy Java/JavaScript Simulations (formerly EJS, new EjsS) and Modeling Tool. The theory underpinning this work is that learning by learner effort by modeling and thinking through dynamic and interactive simulation-models is more easily integrated than knowledge gained through static printed materials.

I started by combining related computer models with supporting texts and illustrations into a coherent chapter. From there, a logical next step towards more complete support for teachers and students is developing prototypes for electronic chapters on the topics of Simple Harmonic Motion and Gravity. This also is customized for the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (A-level). I aim to inspire more educators to create interactive and open educational resources[1] for the benefit of all.
