Results of the Online Optics Tutorial Results of Student Learning in Phy122
Results of the Online Optics Tutorial Correct Answers in Phy122 (52 students) (out of 8): • Pre-test: 3.3 +/- 1.4 • Post test: 6.6 +/- 1.2
Results of the Online Optics Tutorial Outlook • Evaluation of student learning • Evaluation of student acceptance • Presentation at the AAPT meeting in July • Use as supplemental material in other Phy122 sections • Use in Phy122 hybrid online course • Adaptation for CCRAA gap module
Results of the Online Optics Tutorial Acknowledgements: • Animation: Erick Zelaya, Jason Beers • SoftChalk: Bedan Kamau • Video: Terry Hogan, Trevor Henderson • Audio: Richard Garippo, Cynthia Martinez • Coordination: Karen Brzoska • Photographs: Maria Salazar • Tutorial example: Laurie Starkey We gratefully acknowledge funding from the CCRAA (College Cost Reduction and Accessibility Act) grant, and from the TQE (Teacher Quality Enhancement) grant. We also would like to thank Mandayam Srinivas (CCRAA), Christina Dehler (TQE), Hye-Ok Park (I & IT eLearning), Steven McCauley (Physics Department), and Don Straney (College of Science) for their support of this project.
