{open_quotes}Accelerators and beams,{close_quotes} a multimedia tutorial
- WhistleSoft, Inc., 168 Dos Brazos, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87544 (United States)
We are developing a computer-based tutorial for charged-particle beam optics under a grant from the DOE. This subject is important to the DOE not only for its use in providing basic research tools but because the physics is the underpinning for accelerators used in industry and medicine. The tutorial, which will be delivered on Macintosh and Windows platforms, uses multimedia techniques to enhance the student{close_quote}s rate of learning and length of retention of the material. As such, it integrates our interactive On-Screen Laboratories{trademark} with hypertext, line drawings, photographs, animation, video, and sound. We are targeting an audience from technicians to graduate students in science and engineering. At this time we have about a fourth of the material (about equivalent to a one-semester three-credit-hour upper under-graduate physics course) available in prototype form. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
