摘要
We present the development of the project "Fisica Interactiva" aimed to address the special needs of students that enter at Polytechnic University with a deficient background in Physics. The project tries to make an interactive tool available to the students through a web site. We choose Moodle as the CMS due to its cooperative philosophy and being open source and free. The emphasis is put on fundamental concepts of first year Physics: vector character of magnitudes, point mechanics, electric and magnetic fields. Interactive materials (developed as Flash animations) are thought in order to reinforce concepts through critical thinking and active enrolment. We discuss our experience developing these materials, with the pros and cons of the tools chosen, and preliminary results of the use of the site with students at our University.
