Scientific paper

Astro Concepts is a project within Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, developing browser-based software modules on Optical Telescopes, Nebulae and Binary Stars. The modules are designed to enhance student understanding of basic physics concepts, which underlie introductory-level conceptual astronomy courses. When complete, the Astro Concepts modules will be available for use in university courses in introductory astronomy, introductory physics teaching, secondary teaching and online astronomy education. The strategy outlined here is to obtain a reasonable level of understanding of the necessary physics concepts by presenting them embedded in relevant and interesting astronomy contexts, and by the use of an engaging educational approach requiring active learning by the student.
