Interactive online lectures for asynchronous delivery

Abstract

Abstract Physics teachers often use active learning techniques such as “clicker questions” in their lectures. We created a set of asynchronous online lectures that include clicker questions. Five instructors created and shared their Interactive Online Lectures for the first semester of an introductory calculus-based course. Each lecture consists of short video lecture segments interspersed with required multiple-choice clicker questions designed to help students understand the content. After submitting an answer, the student sees an explanation of why that answer is right or wrong. Instructors at five institutions used the lectures during the Fall Semester of 2020.
