Interactive Screen Experiments : ISEs
The core of an interactive screen experiment is a
collection of hundreds or thousands of real photographs so that every state of the
equipment is recorded. These are carefully incorporated into a stop-animation interactive
Shockwave application that can be played in an ordinary web browser. Shockwave is highly
suited for interactive control (it is used for the production of computer video games) and
when the student runs the interactive screen experiment on his or her PC the effect is
similar to a running a remote-control experiment under the control of the student's mouse.
The difference for the laboratory provider is that there is no limit to the number of students who may simultaneously run the experiment and the real equipment itself is used only once --
when the original photographs are taken.
