Over the past decade several studieshave been made to detect students’ learning styles 1-5. These studies conclude that students bestlearn if they are active participants in their education and are exposed, in varying degrees, toeach discerned learning style. Visualizing the dynamic behavior of physical systems is animportant part of the learning process for engineering students 6.
