About ZAPS
ZAPS: The Norton Psychology Labs originated as a Dutch project (ZAPS is an acronym for Zeer Actieve Psychologie, or Very Interactive Psychology) whose goal was to develop interactive learning material that would engage students and stimulate experiential and discovery learning in psychology. This project, undertaken by a team of psychologists and communications technology specialists from the University of Twente and the University of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, was sponsored by SURF, the Dutch higher education and research partnership organization for information and communications technology (ICT). Together, these specialists produced a set of short, interactive simulations of psychological phenomena and experiments eventually referred to as ZAPS.
Already highly successful in the Netherlands, where it was recently awarded the prestigious Dutch National ICT Award, ZAPS is now available for English-speaking students in the Norton Psychology Labs.
