Description
An active-learning workshop is offered to provide an example of a collaborative group-learning pedagogical environment for introductory physics at the university level. Participants will engage in various hands-on and minds-on exercises to illustrate how such a dynamic classroom can transform the strategy for teaching physics in university classes. A discussion about the benefits and challenges of this innovative approach will help guide the participants in adopting this teaching methodology in their own physics classes. We are working to establish a network of pedagogical innovators among the participants so that this type of approach can be more widely disseminated.
