Join Dr. Brian Jones, Colorado State University, to explore techniques for keeping students active and engaged during College Physics classes.

In this webinar, we discuss techniques for keeping students active and engaged during College Physics classes, from using “clicker questions” (with and without the clickers) to having students work in-class examples themselves. We share practical strategies that you can put to use in your class tomorrow.
