Abstract :
In this paper, we focus on the qualification of teachers of physical sciences in terms of the integration of simulation in teaching the physical concepts. Our distance learning platform based on Moodle, is an effective alternative to continuous training in face-to-face mode. Indeed, conventional training is limited in time and space. The proposed solution allows overcoming the conventional training problems, while taking into consideration the real needs of physics teachers. The training is in agreement with collaborative learning features: Teachers are invited to build their knowledge in simulation software to solve student learning problems by cooperating with other teachers.
