Adapted ILDs
As you
adapt to teaching online in this surreal time, I thought about how active
learning could be preserved as part of our teaching.
(1) NEW: If
you have access to demonstration equipment and can present demonstrations
online to your students you can download the entire Interactive
Lecture Demonstrations (ILD) book published by Wiley by clicking here. You have permission to use
any of the 28 sets of interactive demonstrations with your students and
distribute the Prediction and Results sheets as you wish. You can download Word
files of these sheets by clicking here. If you are not
familiar with ILDs, first read the ILD book's introduction.
(2) I am
attempting to adapt a subset of our Interactive Lecture
Demonstrations (ILDs) to a form that can be easily used by
students at home. I am using pictures, videos and displays that I have along
with easily available simulations to substitute for hands-on experiments.
Unfortunately, I do not have access to my lab, so I must use media that I
already have, as well as some of the wonderful Physlet and PhET simulations that are available for use. I have retained
the important component of having students make predictions before their observations. Unfortunately, it will not be
easy for many of us to incorporate small group or class discussions, so this is
a severe compromise of the ILD protocol. You will need to impress
your students with the importance of them really making predictions before they
proceed with observations.
Of
course, the efficacy of the ILDs in this form has not been research-validated.
I will
add ILDs as I adapt them and include them below.
Please
let me know about your experiences with any of these.
