Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
We have developed an open source web-based platform (‘OpenMap’) and website (‘OpenPhys’) to present interactive self-guided multi-level learning resources. Content is designed for viewing on any device (phone, tablet, laptop) using mobile web technologies.
**OpenMap Format:** The OpenMap format is crudely: ‘a 2D interactive PowerPoint for the web’. Content is organized as a series of...

In many first-year physics courses, students use publisher-created online homework systems that provide student learning supports including hints to address specific mistakes and additional resources such as tutorials, videos, or simulations. Compared to traditional paper-based homework, these online systems have advantages (e.g. 24/7 hint access, problems often Physics Education...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
Multiple-choice (MC) exams are becoming more prevalent in physics courses as student populations rise and instructional resources dwindle. Particularly in STEM disciplines we would like to find ways to test deeper levels of understanding or knowledge integrations than are typically afforded by multiple-choice tests. With simple immediate-feedback tools we can construct new types of...

Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
At the University of British Columbia (UBC) we educate 8-14 future physics teachers annually. Most of them already have B.Sc. degrees in physics or related fields, while some are a completing the B.Sc. concurrently. As part of their secondary teacher education program, teacher-candidates participate in a 3-credit physics methods course taught by the author. Its goal is to help...

Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
The availability of high quality online material that was developed in house for an online course provided the impetus to do a complete Flipping of an introductory physics class for non-majors, and create a blended version for majors.
We overview the material and the technology used and highlight the chosen selections for the pre-class component. We also discuss the effectiveness of the in...
