Abstract :
It is our contention that modern information technology should be applied to the teaching of undergraduate student laboratory classes, and that the application of the technology can learn from computer games. A number of computer simulations of laboratory experiments are being developed to this effect. Each experiment consists of a digitised video of the real experiment being conducted by an experienced technician, a graphical animation showing the internal workings of the apparatus, and an interactive graphical simulation with a mathematical model modelling the behaviour of the real equipment
