| On August 24, 2005, Dr. Sobhy
Atalla, Professor of Physics
from the Fayoum University
in Egypt, visited the campus
of Elizabeth City State University
to demonstrate the latest version
of the physics educational
software package to the staff
at ECSU. The development of
this package began several
years ago with the joint efforts
of Elizabeth City State University
and the University of Cairo.
Several visits have been made
by both the University and
Dr. Atalla in order to develop
the collaboration. The package
is made to be a standalone
or classroom physics piece
that students can view and
interact with. Dr. Atalla's
visit was to demonstrate a
new component, "concept mapping",
which has been used to enhance
the softwares delivery. Attending
the demonstration were Dr.
Linda Hayden, Director of
the Center of Excellence in
Remote Sensing Education and
Research (CERSER), Dr. Ephraim Gwebu
and Dr. Althea Bluiett of the
Physics Department, and Dr.
Vinod Manglik and Ms. Shayla
Brooks of the Mathematics and
Computer Science Department. |
