  Just-In-Time Teaching: Blending Active Learning with Web Technology
  Novak, Gavrin, Christian & Patterson
  ©1999 | Addison-Wesley | Paper; 188 pp | Instock
  ISBN-10: 0130850349 | ISBN-13: 9780130850348
  Suggested retail price: $41.60  Buy from myPearsonStoreNet price: $31.20  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  Just-in-Time Teaching:  Blending Active Learning with Web Technology is a resource book that fully discusses an exciting new teaching and learning methodology designed to engage students by using feedback from pre-class web assignments to adjust classroom lessons so that students receive rapid response to the specific questions and problems they are having instead of more generic lectures that may or may not address what students actually need help with. Many teachers have found that this process also encourages students to take more control of the learning process and become active, and interested, learners.

  An instructor's supplement for Physics courses.

  This manual/CD package shows physics instructors—both web novices and Java savvy programmers alike—how to author their own interactive curricular material using Physlets. Java physlets are applets written for physics pedagogy that can be embedded directly into html documents and that can interact with the user. This guide demonstrates the use of Physlets in conjunction with JavaScript to deliver a wide variety of web-based interactive physics activities, and provides examples of Physlets created for classroom demonstrations, traditional and Just-in-Time Teaching homework problems, pre- and post-laboratory exercises, and Interactive Engagement activities. More than just a technical how-to book, the manual gives instructors some ideas about the new possibilities that Physlets offer, and is designed to make the transition to using Physlets quick and easy.
