Free online course on introductory Physics with laboratory

Georgia Institute of Technology and coursera offers free online course on introductory physics with laboratory.

Explore motion in the real world using modern tools and techniques (video capture and analysis, computer modeling) guided by fundamental physics principles.

About the course:
The course will investigate motion in the world around will welcome both those who want to participate fully and those who wish to sample, cafeteria-style, the activities of this course.

Those who participate fully will experience a course that is very different in style but equivalent (at least) in core content to a traditional, on-campus, first-semester college-level introductory physics course that includes a laboratory. At the same time, those who cherry-pick selected course elements (e.g., learning the basics of video capture and analysis of motion in one's own surroundings) will still advance their understanding of physics.

The laboratories are the backbone of this course, providing opportunities
1. To observe and to analyze motion in our own surroundings,
2. To apply fundamental principles to build explanations of the motion, and
3. To evaluate, in a constructively critical way, our own measurements and models, as well as the measurements and models of our course peers.

Other course elements (lecture videos with "clicker" questions, homework) support and extend the physics explored in the laboratories.
