MOOC

The MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) are last generations online courses made ​​with a platform that allows the use of multimedia materials.

In collaboration with METID and ASICT of the Politecnico di Milano, we have realized two MOOC (using the "open" platform edX) addressed to all high school students who wish to enroll at the Politecnico (but not only!). Attendance is free.

Each MOOC is divided into macro-topics, and each of these in weeks:

• Introduction to experimental physics: mechanics, thermodynamics
  • mechanics (3 weeks)
    • kinematics and exmples of motion
    • dynamics and examples of forcex
    • work and energy
    • impacts and gravitation
  • thermodynamics (2 weeks)
    • kinematics and dynamics of ideal fluids
    • temperature, heat and internal energy
    • ideal gas
    • heat engines and entropy
• Introduction to experimental physics: electromagnetism, optics, modern physics
  • electromagnetism (2 weeks)
    • electric field
    • conductors, capacitors and dieletric materials
    • electricity
    • magnetic field
    • magnetic materials
    • electromagnetic inductionoptics
  • optics (1 week)
    • electromagnetic waves
    • geometrical optics
    • wave optics
  • hints of modern physics (1 week)
