3D Lab: Design, Discover, Discuss Lab

The Virtual Lab for Electricity and Magnetism is enhanced through team-based learning, which is an essential part of laboratories. It is based on an inexpensive (~$60) home kit and Koondis (social networking platform for small cooperative teams). Students collaborate in small teams of 4-5 members to perform "3D Labs", 3D = design, discover, and discuss. The experiments are not rigid, allow for openess and lead to discovery. The experiments are designed, approved, documented, peer evaluated, and shared through the collaborative Koondis online platform.
