• purpose
• to learn and gain skills and knowledge
• rather than to get certificate
• style
• individual learning

• self-examination

3
Methods

• Reading
• Lecturing

• Interactive-self paced learning
• Project
• Exam

4
Reading

• short/abbreviated
• illustrated/structured
• hypetextual

5
Lecturing

• best performancegtvideo
• animation/simulation assisted
• live presentations
• on-line experiments
• off-line review

6
Excercising

• experience with physical experiment
• unlimited, free-of-charge experiments
• verification and valuation of results
• improvement of skills by contests

7
Interactive-self paced learning

• controlled depth and breadth
• pace controll

• pre- and postcourse
• determining what the student
• knows
• should know
• has learned
• detecting holes and shadows in the knowledge
• defining further instruction steps
