About

We are experiencing unusually high demand for the iOLab device and may periodically run out of available inventory. Please know that we are having many devices manufactured and any time we run out of inventory we are working on restocking as soon as possible.

The iOLab device is a wireless unit that can be used to conduct Physics experiments. Students can purchase or rent the device by clicking on Format to the left. Physics is most often a multiple semester or quarter course, so if you are a student renting the device, for the most cost effective option, we encourage you to rent it for the length of time you expect to need the device. If you are unsure, you may want to check with your instructor.

A small accessory kit for Electricity & Magnetism experiments, a replacement accessory pack (including the spring, screws, and stick-on felt that come with the device), or a replacement dongle can be purchased by clicking on Study Extras to the left.

If you need the iOLab for Scientists and Engineers Lab Manual and Components Kit, those can be purchased under the Scientists and Engineers Lab Manual page. Please make sure you are buying the correct option for your class.

Departments can purchase iOLab devices and accessories from Macmillan Learning by contacting their Macmillan Learning Sales Representative. We offer bulk discounts to departments for sales over 10 units.

The device is truly revolutionary as students will be able to conduct hundreds of physics experiments from their dorm room, their class, or anywhere they can find the space to use the device. The device wirelessly communicates data that it gathers for students to be able to complete experiments.

Mats Selen

Mats Selen earned B.Sc.('82) and M.Sc.('83) degrees in physics at the University of Guelph, and M.A.('85) and Ph.D.('89) degrees in particle physics at Princeton University. After a four year post-doc at Cornell he joined the faculty at the University of Illinois Department of Physics in 1993, where he is now the Associate Head of Undergraduate Programs. After 25 years of studying elementary particles he is shifting his research focus to understanding and improving the way students learn physics. With Illinois colleagues he developed the iclicker classroom response system, the smartPhysics learning framework, and most recently IOLabs.　

Mats Selen won US professor of the Year 2015. Awarded by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the awards recognize professors for their influence on teaching and commitment to undergraduate students.

 

Tim Stelzer

Tim Stelzer is an associate professor of physics, and distinguished teacher-scholar at the University of Illinois. He received a B.S in physics from St. Johns University in 1988 and a Ph.D. in theoretical particle physics from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1993. His particle physics research has focused on physics at hadron colliders such as the Tevatron at Fermi National Accelerator Laborarory and the LHC in Geneva Switzerland. Several of his papers are among the top cited in high energy physics.

Tim worked on the award winning transformation of the introductory physics courses at the University of Illinois and is a founding member of their Physics Education Research group. His education research has focused on making appropriate use of technology to improve student learning. He is a co-inventor of the iclicker personal response system and is coauthor of the "smartPhysics" learning system. Tim is a regular on the University’s　 "Incomplete List of Teachers Ranked Excellent by Their Students," and received the 2013 Excellence in Education Award from the American Physical Society .
