Positive

 Usefulness of the learning experience

42%

“Definitely helps in understanding of forces needed in buoyancy and charges. Offers a more memorable experience than simply reading about it.”

 Finding the experience as interesting

17%

“This was a very interesting lab experience! I am very glad I participated and got a chance to see what future education might involve. It was also fun to review my physics concepts :)”

 Enjoyment of the learning experience

17%

“Really fun! A good demo of difficult-to-recreate situations.”

Improvement-Oriented

 Suggesting improvements

10%

“It was a good tool to use in laboratories and definitely a good way to help students learn and visualize electricity. However, the haptic device could not handle some of the forces such as the negative charges where it will shake all over the place.”

 Other

14%

“These tests give a good basis for physics applications. Personally, I would have enjoyed more of its initial tests as they conveyed texture and reactive forces.”
