The paper presents the application of Integrated e- Learning, presented in general terms at this conference [1], exemplified on one of the most important parts of Physics - the thematic block “Oscillations“. The goal of the course of Physics in the chapter of Oscillations is to show the oscillatory movement as a basis of nearly all natural phenomena. The unifying model for all real world systems then may be the mass-spring system constituting the mechanical oscillator. The three constituting components of Integrated e-Learning, based on our definition and interpretation of Integrated e-Learning [2] are illustrated: the remote (or hands on class) experiments, e- simulations and e- studbooks for the unit Oscillations. The new method of Integrated e-learning, very substantial for prospective physics teachers, was verified at Trnava University in cooperation with Charles University in Prague. First experiences with utilization of real remote experiments of driven and damped oscillations, corresponding applets and e-textbook „Multimedia university physics” in teaching process are presented, reflecting the necessity for the new physics course for university students, especially for future teachers. New interactive simulation of oscillations in the system mass-spring with data outputs and transfer is introduce for the first time.
