1. Introduction and Background
Auburn University - Auburn Alabama
University Physics I First semester course for engineers Three sections or 100 students per section
Lectures and Physics Activities
Goals Create a better learning and teaching environment Impact WDF numbers
Status Pilot stage

2. Initial Planning -- Faculty
First exposure
Connected when doing Physics
More interactive
More efficient
Impact WDF numbers

3. How – Learning Materials
Pre and post test – Cengage Learning
Virtual office hours and other technology soultions
Lecture – classroom response system i>clicker Lab – team task oriented Recitation – team white board Study –
Virtual Lab – Polyhedron Learning Course Manager Grading
All in class changes Need change of strategy What happens out of class has more impact on WDF numbers

4. Reactions and Results Good and bad Work in progress
Successful You need to be there and you need be engaged You need be a part of the team
Successful – Virtual Lab – any time, anywhere, work until happy Course Manager – saves time, changed the culture Grading – saves time but negative impact on grade
Items tested 8 items = 80 questions End of course grades

5. Technology
WebAssign Homework problems Active Figures (animated tutorials) Extra Credit (more problems) Grade book
