Abstract: The long-term goal of this project is to explore undergraduate students' learning of physics using two instructional technologies, microcomputer-based laboratories and digital video analysis of experimental data. This presentation will focus on the results from a class of introductory undergraduate physics students, regarding their learning of concepts related to collisions and conservation principles, and students' use of the technologies.
