  1. 28. “Chegg-proofing” Examination Setting
    Deb Kane
    15/12/2022, 11:00
    AIP: Education
    Invited talk

    Can a “Chegg-proof” examination of a standard physics unit be set? The answer, of course, is yes. But at what cost in academic workload, and is this the best use of that time?

    Jacinta den Besten (The University of Melbourne)
    15/12/2022, 11:45
    AIP: Education
    Talk (preferred)

    Using a combination of rubrics, sample work and a quiz module with clear goals and expectations to prepare students for participating and writing in physics teaching laboratories. Student improvements and outcomes are presented.

  4. 751. Incorporating a Flight Simulator Based Laboratory for Physics of Motion
    Graham Wild (UNSW)
    15/12/2022, 12:00
    AIP: Education
    Talk (preferred)

    Traditional physics of motion laboratories involve air tracks/tables. Activities should facilitate understanding of concepts and represent real-world/authentic activities for engagement. Using a physics-based flight-simulator, X-Plane11, students perceived positive learning outcomes with an authentic engaging activity, with a real-world application.

  5. 405. Making More Diffraction Orders by Shrinking Wavelengths
    Dr Margaret Wegener (School of Mathematics and Physics, The University of Queensland)
    15/12/2022, 12:15
    AIP: Education
    Talk (preferred)

    The change of wavelength of light with the medium it’s travelling through can be demonstrated by immersing a simple diffraction experiment in water. Higher orders of diffraction can occur in water compared to in air.

  6. 854. How Teaching Students to “Think Like a Physicist” led to the ANU MakerSpace
    John Debs (Research School of Physics, The Australian National University)
    15/12/2022, 14:00
    AIP: Education
    Invited talk

    This presentation tells the story of how my hands-on approach to physics education led to the ANU MakerSpace – a highly successful, interdisciplinary, and openly accessible makerspace. I will share some highlights from my experience.

  7. 701. Playing Music with Molecules: a Spectroscopic Symphony for Scientific Education and Engagement
    Liam Hall (School of Chemistry, the University of Melbourne)
    15/12/2022, 14:30
    AIP: Education
    Talk (preferred)

    We detail a new, more inclusive approach to teaching quantum concepts to both students and non-scientific audiences; based on direct real-time interactions between musical instruments with quantum systems at audio frequencies.

  8. 453. What Aurora Reveals About the Physics Study and STEM Career Choices Among Schoolgirls
    Maria Parappilly (Flinders University)
    15/12/2022, 14:45
    AIP: Education
    Talk (preferred)

    I seek to discuss the insights from 6 years of the Aurora Contest data to understand the reach and knowledge of this contest and outreach activities that can shape STEM study, in particular Physics and related career choices among schoolgirls.

  9. 387. Ensuring the Quality of an Online Course with Changing Staff
    Thomas Dixon (UNSW)
    15/12/2022, 15:00
    AIP: Education
    Talk (preferred)

    We run a large online-only physics course three times a year, with different academics and staff assigned each time. This talk outlines our work in ensuring consistency throughout the terms via course design and automation.

  10. 524. Bunjee Jumping: Using modelling and technology to improve student engagement with uncertainty analysis
    Srividya Durga Kota
    15/12/2022, 15:15
    AIP: Education
    Talk (preferred)

    In this presentation we will provide results of a study conducted in first-year physics laboratories involving an experiment, Bunjee Jumping. The experiment is designed with a conceptual framework integrating technology and modelling to specifically ‘engage’ students with uncertainty analysis.
