Others

We are certainly not the only Physics Department that is implementing the type of learning of our Physics Practicals. Here we provide some links to other groups from whom we have learned about this type of eductation.

Workshop Physics. This project, led by Priscilla Laws at Dickonson College, is the closest match to our project. We have happily used many of their materials.

University of Washington Physics Education Group. This group, led by Lillian McDermott, has developed Tutorials in Introductory Physics.and the related Physics by Inquiry.

SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for Undergraduate Programs). This initiative, coming out of Rensselaer, is now based at North Carolina State. It is now in use at many other institutions.

TEAL (Technology Enabled Active Learning) is a SCALE-UP like implementation at MIT.

SUPER (Sydney University Physics Education Research). The Workshop Tutorials are another valuable resource.

University of Maryland PER. This page has many resources and links.
