Presentation Transcript

  1. Using MOOC’s in an Interactive Classroom John W. Belcher Kavli Center for Astrophysics and Space Research Department of Physics

  2. Teaching Freshman Physics Interactively at MIT • Description of what we currently do (8.02 TEAL) • Description of 8.02x the MOOC • Bringing aspects of 8.02x the MOOC back into residential 8.02 TEAL

  3. One of the two MIT TEAL Classrooms Modeled after NCSU’s SCALE-UP Classroom

  4. Ideal TEAL Sequence • (instructor’s fantasy) • Instruction (aka Lecture) • Pre-Experiment Predictions • Experiment • Visualization of Experiment I will illustrate this sequence for Faraday’s Law

  5. 1. Instruction: Faraday’s Law Magnetic Flux Move down

  6. 2. Pre-Experiment Predictions Move down Magnetic Flux Personal Response System used for pre-experiment questions and responses

  7. 3. Experiment Experiment includes sliding an aluminum sleeve over the magnet and feeling the slowdown due to eddy currents

  8. 8.02x the MOOC • Wholly online, online textbook • Based on Walter Lewin’s 2002 lectures as a whole (36 lectures) • Lectures are broken up with interactive questions • Problem Sets • Interactive Simulations • All computer graded

  9. Bringing back some of 8.02x the MOOC into 8.02 TEAL • Blended content from MOOC • Cut down the amount of lecturing in 8.02 TEAL, push that into online MOOC • Leave more time for interaction in class • Cut down the total face time?
