Materials Awarded: A samsung galaxy tablet
Project Description:
In the Physics and Astronomy department, we used the tablets as a platform on which students could record and self-narrate the solution of introductory to intermediate physics problems.
Recorded student problems were used for
* information gathering by faculty trying to determine students’ areas of strengths and weaknesses
* preliminary data for a proposal to the national science foundation (the proposal was not funded)
* assessment of one of our department’s learning outcomes
The project was effective and we expect that we will continue to use this technique for assessment activities.
