Abstract
Information communication technologies have made it possible to introduce Integrated e-Learning (INTe-L) as a new strategy of education of physics for engineering education based on the method sciences used for the cognition of the Real world. It is based on the e-laboratory with remote experiments across the Internet (see www.ises.info ) based on Internet School Experimental System (ISES, see www.ises.info, e-simulations and e-textbook. Its main features are the observations of real world phenomena, possibly materialized in data and their evaluation, search for relevant information, its classification and storing. Only then come the explanation and the mathematical formalism of generalized laws and their consequences. The indispensable quality of this method is the active part the student has to take in the teaching process both in lessons, seminars
and laboratory exercises, but also his/her substantially increased activity in form of projects, search for information, presentations etc. In the paper, the INTe-L strategy is presented and general and pedagogical reasons for its introduction are given. The experience with INTe-L on teaching units Electromagnetic Induction, Oscillations, Photovoltaics and Electrochemistry is presented and discussed. We present the outlines of the existing and planned remote laboratory system with data transfer using Internet School Experimental System (ISES) as hardware and ISES WEB Control kit as software . For this purpose, the LMS system Moodle turned out to be a highly effective means of organization of physics courses.
