The resultant educational outcome will providestudents and educators with an approach for understanding the capabilities, advantages,limitations, and correlation/validation of simulations relative to physical experience. Coursesdeveloped using this technique will feature integrated computer simulations and physicalexperiments with direct Internet access by other universities to participate and share resources.The methodologies being developed under a National Science Foundation CCLI-EducationalMaterials Development grant will assist other educators in expanding and improving
