Report and Recommendations on Multimedia Materials for Teaching and Learning Electricity and Magnetism

The report presentation done by the member of the reviewing group was a part of a MPTL Symposium organized in the course of WCPE. During the symposium four talks related to the different uses of multimedia in the teaching and learning of physics were presented. The symposium was held by members of the MPTL group and covered four areas of interest: modeling and simulation, remote laboratories, video, and dissemination. We provided a review of the state of the art of each of the areas discussed, together with our vision of how the topic contributes to better teaching and learning of physics. Every year, the MPTL board carries out an evaluation of multimedia resources for teaching and learning a particular field of Physics. The paper presents the report on this year’s evaluation, which covered the field of Electromagnetism and is meant to bring to the readers’ attention to the described work and the recommended materials.
