Blended Learning in a TEAL Classroom
Peter Dourmashkin, PhD
Senior Lecturer, Department of Physics
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
In this talk, I will describe the blending of digital online tools with residential learning in an introductory physics mechanics course (TEAL) taught at MIT based on active learning and the studio pedagogy. I will describe how the digital tools have shifted some content delivery to pre- and post-class to maximize in-class learning, while the in-class residential learning is focused on engaging students through practice to develop their conceptual and analytic understanding of the physics content. In particular, I will describe how lightboard videos and immediate answer feedback are incorporated into blended learning sequences.
