Project Description

This project investigated the effectiveness of interactive multimedia tools in improving student learning of physics concepts in introductory college courses. We implemented interactive multimedia tools in the studio-style and Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for Undergraduate Programs (SCALE-UP) classroom settings, and studied their impact on student learning of physics concepts through surveys on their perceptions related to the learning activities based on those tools. Our analysis of the survey data shows that the majority of the students who participated in the surveys found the interactive multimedia activities helpful for learning physics concepts.

Highlight of your experience

It was a great experience working as a Global Lab Faculty Fellow, and I would like to thank the Global Lab Team and my Department for this opportunity.
