AAPT Summer Meeting 2023
Interactive Video-Enhanced Tutorials for Promoting Problem Solving
This workshop is for those interested in using or developing their own web-based problem-solving tutorials. Participants will learn about our 30 freely available Interactive Video-Enhanced Tutorials (IVETs), where each focuses on an important problem-solving approach (e.g., energy conservation), covering most chapters taught within a two-semester introductory physics course. IVETs include videos of a narrator (instructor) interspersed with multiple-choice questions, with feedback provided for correct and incorrect answers. The questions and feedback are designed to carefully step students through an expert-like problem-solving process, while emphasizing the reasoning behind each step, providing students with personalized learning. Workshop participants will work through an IVET, learn best practices for integrating IVETs into their courses, and receive an overview of the research findings that demonstrate their effectiveness. Participants will also learn how to create their own IVETs, including how to choose appropriate problems, write scripts with suitable multiple-choice questions and supportive feedback, and use our Vignette Studio II software to assemble the IVETs. All of our IVETs and the VS II software are freely available at compadre.org/IVET.
Participants are asked to bring a laptop to the workshop.
Supported by NSF DUE-1821391 and DUE-1821396.
