Workshop Overview
 |
|
This workshop will provide a short hands-on experience with
Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT), a web-based pedagogy pioneered as a
collaborative effort of physics faculty Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and at the United States Air Force Academy.
JiTT pedagogy exploits an interaction between web-based study and an active learner classroom. Students respond electronically to carefully constructed web-based assignments, and the instructor reads the student submissions "just-in-time" to adjust the lesson content and activities to suit the students' needs. |
Workshop Philosophy and Goals
|
We believe in the active learner approach.
In this workshop, we provide samples of web lesson materials for you to examine and discuss.
We hope you'll leave the workshop having thought about and explored questions like:

| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 8:30 - 8:45 | Greetings: Introductions, Overview of workshop structure and resources |
| 8:45 - 9:05 | Talk: Introduction to JiTT focusing on WarmUp Exercises |
| 9:05 - 9:15 | Activity: Do the Rotational Kinematics WarmUp (be one of your students). |
| 9:15 - 9:25 | Activity: Read actual student responses, with an eye towards categorizing, keying your existing "lecture" to the responses. |
| 9:25 - 9:45 | Activity: Working in groups, select useful responses to quote in a lecture, discuss how you would use the responses. |
| 9:45 - 10:20 | Discussion: Discuss the student submissions and your lecture ideas. |
| 10:20 - 10:30 | Break: Reassemble in the computer lab (MacNaughton 315). |
| Note: from 10:30-12:00, participants will browse various JiTT examples and resources. During this time, leaders will discuss HTML code and other technical issues as desired by individual participants. | |
| 10:30 - 11:00 |
Actvity: Browse sampler of WU's and PZL's.
If you have not already done so, please complete the Workshop WarmUp (electronically). (You may review other workshop participants' submissions after completing your own.) Browse (individually or in teams) a prepared JiTT sampler containing:
|
| 11:00 - 11:30 |
Actvity: Browse WarmUp templates, a sample "Dump/Clear" facility, PERL scripts, etc.
If interested, save the source to your hard drive, examine the source, and ask questions as necessary, and modify the source as you wish. Workshop leaders field individual questions and collects general interest questions for short whole-group Q&A session if appropriate. |
| 11:30 - 12:00 | Actvity: Browse sampler of " What is Physics Good For?" pages |
| 12:00 - 12:30 | Talk: Introduction to Physlets by W25 leaders (Return to MacNaughton 308) |
| 12:30 - 1:30 | Lunch |
| 1:30 - 1:35 | Introduction to afternoon activities |
| 1:35 - 1:55 | Talk: " What is Physics Good For?" and other JiTT assignments. Workshop resources. |
| 1:55 - 2:35 | Discussion: JiTT elements, lecture methods grading schemes, etc. |
| 2:35 - 2:45 | Break: Reassemble in the computer lab (MacNaughton 315). |
| 2:45 - 4:00 | Work individually or in teams to produce a useful product. Suggestions, templates, help, and other resources will be provided. |
| 4:00 - 4:30 | Final Q&A, comments, evaluations, etc. |
