  1. MobiNet A Pedagogic Platform for Computer Science, Maths and Physics Sylvain Lefebvre, Fabrice Neyret, Samuel Hornus, Joëlle Thollot GRAVIR / IMAG-INRIA

  2. History (since 2002) • Bi-annual ‘Engineering Week’ of INPG • Less students choose science • Public : highschool students (~15 years old) • Goal : discover research and engineering • How : 1 week of tutorials • MobiNet Tutorials • GRAVIR / IMAG-INRIA

  3. Mobinet: Interactive simulation software • Put theory into practice • develop intuition • introduce scientific, engineering approach • Try, understand and learn • accessible, easy to use • no fear of making mistakes • Develop team work • networked simulation space

  4. MobiNet approach • Experience notions, visually !

  5. MobiNet approach • Model of real world • Object’s state variables (x)  mathematical model • Object’s motion (x : x+1)  physical model of behavior • Nothing magic ! x : x+1 x

  6. MobiNet

  12. MobiNet tutorials Video games development • Students like video games ! • Simple games : highschool math & physics • Game world = simple model of real world • Engineering problem: split in simple tasks

  13. MobiNet tutorials

  14. MobiNet tutorials • 3 hours tutorial • 1h30: learn MobiNet, simple notions • Create a mobile • Simple trajectories • Bouncing ball • Interacting mobiles • 1h30: team work • Pong game • Presented as an engineering problem

  15. MobiNet tutorials

  16. Evaluation • Since 2002 • 4 INPG Egineering weeks • 16 groups • 250 students • Evaluation done in 2002 • 2 highschools • 3 groups • 77 students

  17. Evaluation Have you been interested by the tutorial ? + - 77 students

  18. Evaluation Have you find using MobiNet easy ? + - 77 students

  19. Evaluation Do you think this tutorial was useful for you ? + - 77 students

  20. Evaluation Did MobiNet change your idea of math and physics ? + - 77 students

  21. The future • MobiNet tutorials • ‘Engineering Week’ of INPG • Distribution • Free, open source • www-imagis.imag.fr/mobinet • MobiNet into highschool and universities

  22. Pedagogic use • Personal use • Stand-alone tutorials • Visualization of course concepts • Exercises • from scratch • from framework given by teacher • Clubs • …

  23. Demo

  24. Acknowledgments • Students and teachers of involved highschools • All the teaching assistants • Patrick Kocelniak for technical support • INPG for administrative and financial support

  25. Questions ? • Demo: • during coffee break • after lunch 13h30 / 14h00 MobiNet www-imagis.imag.fr/mobinet mobinet@imag.fr
