Team
The simulations were designed and validated by
Philippe Kobel
and
Thierry Gerez
(Physics and Chemistry teachers at Gymnase du Bugnon), with the
scientific collaboration of
Stéphane Goyette
(University of Geneva) and didactic support of Yves Debernardi and
Nicolas Perrin
(Haute École Pédagogique Vaud). The interaction design and
implementation were carried out by
Kim Lan Phan Hoang
and
Hagop Taminian
within
Denis Gillet's
group at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), and were
consolidated in collaboration with
Graasp.org
