Over the past decade, Physics Education Researchers have increasingly focused on Augmented Reality (AR) as a key technological tool. This ongoing study investigates the effectiveness of AR headsets, specifically using the software AnReAL, in teaching motion-related concepts. AnReAL transforms AR headsets into interactive physics labs, enabling real time visualization of mathematical objects of...
Extended Reality (XR) technologies including virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) offer new opportunities for physics education and may be integrated into classrooms in the future. This study explores their potential through two XR tools designed for secondary students, expanding on prior AR-based physics simulations for undergraduates. Ten science teachers tested these tools and...
Computational literacy is essential for physics students, yet traditional tools can still be challenging for beginners. We introduce a digital tool, AI-enhanced SageMath HTML notebooks, integrating the Mistral AI assistant for code generation, formatting, and explanation. This seamless integration strongly supports numerical and symbolic calculations, data analysis, and visualization. To...
Primary and lower secondary school students are naturally curious, often exhibiting a "little scientist" attitude. However, curiosity alone is not enough for developing structured scientific thinking, essential for their education. We present the GRAVIS project, an educational program which brings together gravitational waves physics and digital storytelling to engage students in inquiry-based...
Traditional hands-on lab projects provide valuable learning opportunities but are often constrained by limited lab space, staff availability, and equipment constraints. Additionally, students with social anxiety, neurodiversity, or disabilities may face challenges in traditional lab settings. This work presents a novel approach to addressing these issues through the development of a digital...
This study focuses on investigating how undergraduate physics and astronomy students engage with interactive e-books, which I designed to support active learning and digital accessibility for two courses I lecture in the School of Physics and Astronomy at my institution. These e-books integrate simulations, videos, code, and interactive assessments, embedded all in one place, offering an...
This study examines BuddyCheck's use for peer-evaluation in two project-based BSc electrical engineering courses at TU Delft from 2022 to 2025. We analyse students' academic performance and peer-evaluation results to identify factors critical to their success. Our analysis includes high school and university grades, along with demographic information. BuddyCheck also enables students to...
Electricity and Magnetism is a first-year course for about 250 Applied Physics students at TU Delft. To support learning, we developed an open, interactive textbook featuring short videos, descriptive texts, and Python-based illustrations. This article explores the creation process, content, and current use of the textbook in our teaching.
