| Abstract: |
The article discusses the ways the Open Source Physics (OSP) project combines physical data and document markup language (XML) tags with the Launcher authoring tool for authoring curricular material. It is claimed that the OSP is a synergy of curriculum development, computational physics, computer science, and physics education for scientists and students. The combination offers users an easy-to-use and consistent paradigm to create, modify and distribute Java-based curricular material. |
