Installation and use of supporting features.

• Clear instructions very easy to use
• Installation worked first time
• ‘Quick Start’ not preferred we would always head towards a topic.

Using the pre – written activities

• All the pre – written activities are very relevant to the subject.
• The pre - written examples in demonstrating the extent of possible uses of the software are particularly useful.

Setting up a model

• We would particularly like to see Video of real events e.g. ‘resonance’ included as a feature in future versions of Absorb Physics.

Creating a worksheet on screen

• Adding text and graphics / saving worksheets and creating folders for storing worksheets is very straight forward.

Our students found it very easy to use Absorb Physics and enjoyed the experience and activities.

Teachers within the department would use the software for most aspects of their work i.e.

1. preparatory work
2. lesson planning
3. worksheet creation
4. demonstrations to class / groups using interactive whiteboards
5. for students to support coursework and real lab experiments.
