The pane on the left is an Explorer pane (for navigation and organization), while the pane on the right is the Description pane. Note also there are tabs at the bottom of the Launcher window that can change what is displayed in the panes. These tabs often refer to a collections of materials. For more material we have developed, see Chapter 15, "Authoring Curricular Material," of the book: Open Source Physics: A User’s Guide with Examples [W. Christian, Addison Wesley, 2007.]
The About tab gives an overview of the programs and curricular materials contained in this package. Select the Tutorial or Spin Precession tab at the bottom of this window to navigate to the tutorial or the exercises.
To launch a particular part of this Launcher package, navigate to a launchable node, one with a green arrow. Double-click that arrow and a program will launch. Click the “Run” button to see this example animated. To move on to something else, simply close this program, and select another node.
