The fall term has begun, and with it returns the Physics Education Forum. The forum meets every other week during the semester, and is a place to broaden your knowledge and experience about the teaching and learning of physics through journal discussion and group activities. 

For the fall 2020 term, we will be meeting on Thursdays from 3pm-4pm in the following Zoom room: https://utexas.zoom.us/j/99215778558.

This week, we will be discussing online learning and physics. For this discussion, I encourage you to review the two papers linked below. You are also very welcome to weave in your own personal experiences from ongoing events. 

• Faulconer, Emily K., et al. "A comparison of online, video synchronous, and traditional learning modes for an introductory undergraduate physics course." Journal of Science Education and Technology27.5 (2018): 404-411.
• Miller, Kelly, et al. "Analysis of student engagement in an online annotation system in the context of a flipped introductory physics class." Physical Review Physics Education Research12.2 (2016): 020143.

The Physics Education Forum is open to all, and may be particularly interesting to those in physics, astronomy, and STEM Education. Feel free to forward this information to anyone you think would like to join us!
