  With the expansion of e-learning course curricula and the affordability of
haptic devices, at-home virtual laboratories are emerging as an increasingly
viable option for e-learners. We outline three novel haptic simulations for the
introductory physics concepts of friction, the Coriolis Effect, and Precession.
These simulations provide force feedback through one or more Novint Falcon
devices, allowing students to "feel" the forces at work in a controlled
learning environment. This multi-modal approach to education (beyond the
audiovisual) may lead to increased interest and immersion for e-learners and
appeal to the kinesthetic learners who may struggle in a traditional e-learning
course setting.
