Abstract:
Open Source Physics at Singapore (OSP@SG) [1] is a project by Singapore Ministry of Education which helps teachers bring real-world physics concepts into the classroom, to support learning with static textbook abstractions and word problems, difficult for students to comprehend.
Basic usage of OSP@SG can be to complements real-life experiments by providing interactive resources that help students visualise. More advanced usage can be 'mathematical modelling', where students’ ideas can be 'tested' or equation driven for comparing-fitting with real life or simulated data. The technology is HTML5( for simulations) and Java( for video analysis) and both the tools used and open educational resources created are open sourced, for anyone to edit and learn from, accessible anytime, anywhere on students' computers and mobile devices.
System wide impact on teaching and learning can be felt, judging by the vast numbers of Physics teachers and students in Secondary, Junior College and Universities using OSP@SG simulations and Tracker video analysis tool.
OSP@SG [2] website currently has 400+ open source and open educational digital resources that runs on mobile devices and computers. There are even apps and e-books on Android Play Store[3] and Apple App Store[4] for offline use.
MOE has been collaborating with 12 schools on OSP@SG, with positive feedback received on the project both in Singapore and around the world. Some benefits include enhanced students’ learning through the student-centric pedagogy where students learn to experiment like real life scientists using modelling and simulation. Students could better visualise, explore and discover abstract physics concepts through manipulation and modelling techniques.
Our current projects are on "Promoting joy of learning by turning phone into 3 scientific equipment"
[5] and "Virtual Lab Learning Analytics-Moodle extension" [6], we have not tested with students but we will share our working prototypes with our audience.

Dear Prof Lim,
Thank you for your strong support to introduce open source physics Singapore resources to your colleagues.
http://iwant2study.org/ospsg/
has now 400 HTML5 simulations/games covering physics and mathematics, recently also a small number of Chinese games and chemistry virtual labs, remixed or created by ourselves using the free authoring toolkit

Of course, we also curated 200 https://physlets.org/tracker/ video analysis and modeling resources with CPDD colleagues Tze Kwang and Darren.
