1 NEASC 2012 Using MOOC’s in an Interactive Classroom John W. Belcher Kavli Center for Astrophysics and Space Research Department of Physics

2 NEASC 2012 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 NEASC 2012 One of the two MIT TEAL Classrooms Modeled after NCSU’s SCALE-UP Classroom

4 NEASC 2012

5 Ideal TEAL Sequence (instructor’s fantasy) 1.Instruction (aka Lecture) 2.Pre-Experiment Predictions 3.Experiment 4.Visualization of Experiment I will illustrate this sequence for Faraday’s Law

6 NEASC 2012 Magnetic Flux Move down 1. Instruction: Faraday’s Law

7 NEASC 2012 Magnetic Flux Move down 2. Pre-Experiment Predictions Personal Response System used for pre-experiment questions and responses

8 NEASC 2012 3. Experiment Experiment includes sliding an aluminum sleeve over the magnet and feeling the slowdown due to eddy currents

9 NEASC 2012 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

10 NEASC 2012 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?
