• Resumen

  • The Interactive Physics Course on the Internet is an electronic book in whichwe have enhanced interactivity by means of 124 applets embedded into theHTML documents. These applets are simulations, computer experiments,problems, etc. This article deals with problems because problem-solving is anessential part of the teaching of Physics at undergraduate level. Unliketextbooks in which the information required to solve the problem is providedin the problem statements, some applets of the Interactive Physics Courserequire the students to observe an animation and sometimes makemeasurements of relevant parameters. With these applets we intend to helpthem to develop more expert problem-solving strategies, and to encouragethem to solve problems.
