About this event

As students return to campus, it is important to reflect on what we have learnt from online teaching during and prior to the pandemic and consider which parts of our courses should continue online. Online learning offers many advantages to students: it can be highly flexible, allows for automated and personalised feedback that helps them master the material, and it can be polished and professional. There are, however, disadvantages: it is harder for students to build relationships with their peers online, it can be lonely, and it can be easy to get behind when classes are not timetabled.

In this seminar, Associate Professor Elizabeth Angstmann will outline how she has leveraged the advantages of online teaching to improve the student experience in her first year physics courses. She will demonstrate how to use the quiz tool to make interactive online lectures, labs, and assessments, and will share her research results about student learning success and emotional engagement in online and face-to-face contexts. The seminar will conclude with insight into how first year physics courses will run next year based on these results and the necessary reasons for changing the assessment structure to pass/fail grading with hurdle tasks.
