'To Boldly Go...' Building a Virtual Classroom

The concept of a Exploration-Based Learning Environment has recently been introduced into the argument that technology can put students back into the field of real learning. IPN has set foot there, where no school has gone before, by actually building a Virtual Classroom.This paper is about our first step towards the Virtual Classroom: Experience-Based Learning by simulations. A field study on the processes involved when going from a regular educational setting to using simulations as part of the educational was done. We discuss eventual pitfalls and the role changes in education for both teacher and pupil, the importance of understanding the psychological process that the pupil goes through and the consequences this has for the guiding staff. Changes are not only necessary to keep up with the change but also to break through the vicious circle of what we call the trend of "Spectacle and Boredom" in education

Assignment of errors to calculated transition matrix elements

Errors are assigned to calculated transition matrix elements to account for uncertainties in the model Hamiltonian. The method is illustrated for the lowest five levels of 28Al for which an excellent correlation is found between the size of the assigned errors and the deviations between theory and experiment
