Hello. If anyone is interested in building a better MOOClabs then do respond. We mainly want to focus on the group learning aspect and get rid of the aggregation side.

Overview This course covers 8 different challenging topics in AP® Physics 1. Well-respected AP instructors from around the USA will lead you through video, assessment questions, and interactive activities. Each module breaks these tricky topics into bite-sized pieces - with short instructional...

Overview This short course is intended for the high-school students who have taken an introductory-level physics course, acquired some background in Mechanics and intend to take a more advanced course – for instance, AP Physics C. The course helps the students refresh and strengthen their...

Overview Understand the science of nuclear power and the arguments for and against it With the need to reduce carbon emissions around the world, the way we generate our power has to change and nuclear energy is back on the political agenda. But do you know your fission from your fusion? Would...

Overview Help students understand physics through practicals Physics can be a challenging topic for students, it is essential that they practice and embed their understanding of practical skills in preparation for assessment of their learning. This course, specially designed for teachers, will...

Overview In this course you will learn a whole lot of modern physics (classical and quantum) from basic computer programs that you will download, generalize, or write from scratch, discuss, and then hand in. Join in if you are curious (but not necessarily knowledgeable) about algorithms, and...

Overview Most of the phenomena in the world around you are, at the fundamental level, based on physics, and much of physics is based on mechanics. Mechanics begins by quantifying motion, and then explaining it in terms of forces, energy and momentum. This allows us to analyse the operation of...

Overview General Theory of Relativity or the theory of relativistic gravitation is the one which describes black holes, gravitational waves and expanding Universe. The goal of the course is to introduce you into this theory. The introduction is based on the consideration of many practical...

Overview This course introduces you to subatomic physics, i.e. the physics of nuclei and particles. More specifically, the following questions are addressed: - What are the concepts of particle physics and how are they implemented? - What are the properties of atomic nuclei and how can one use...

Overview In this course we will seek to “understand Einstein,” especially focusing on the special theory of relativity that Albert Einstein, as a twenty-six year old patent clerk, introduced in his “miracle year” of 1905. Our goal will be to go behind the myth-making and beyond the popularized...

Overview An introduction to physics in the context of everyday objects. Taught by Louis A. Bloomfield

Overview This introductory physical chemistry course examines the connections between molecular properties and the behavior of macroscopic chemical systems. Taught by Christopher J. Cramer

Overview This course is an introduction to the finite element method as applicable to a range of problems in physics and engineering sciences. The treatment is mathematical, but only for the purpose of clarifying the formulation. The emphasis is on coding up the formulations in a modern...

Quantum mechanics (also known as Quantum physics) deals with the behaviour of very small things like atoms and subatomic particles. It is behind the technological advances that make modern life possible and its applications in the future are potentially infinite. It is very likely that companies...

COURSE DESCRIPTION Study physics abroad in Europe -- virtually! Learn the basics of physics on location in Italy, the Netherlands and the UK, by answering some of the discipline's major questions from over the last 2000 years. Length: 8 Weeks Price: FREE Provider: Udacity Subject: Physics...

COURSE DESCRIPTION An introduction to physics in the context of everyday objects. Length: 11 hours of videos and assessments Price: FREE (Add a verified certificate for £36) Provider: University of Virginia via Coursera Subject: English Level: Intermediate Languages: English Instructors...
