The Fundamentals of Physics course Phys207 introduces non-physics students to the often unfamiliar world of physics. In a class with 300 students, effectively presenting new material – while maintaining interactivity with learners – is especially challenging. Professor Matthias Liepe addressed these difficulties by enhancing the learning experience through the use of technology. This included in-class [...]
Digital Video for Studying 2-D Mechanics
This Innovation in Teaching project (2007) was developed by Philip Krasicky and Erich Mueller to address the challenge of how to illustrate two-dimensional motion of objects. This project developed a computer-based digital video capture and analysis system for a series of laboratory experiments in which students recorded and analyzed the two-dimensional motion of objects. The [...]
