Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

This website and its contents is the brainchild of Dr Eugenia Etkina, ably assisted by David Brookes and Alan Van Heuvelen. The goals of this website:

  • Firstly we aim to effectively implement video technology through investigative learning cycles.
  • Secondly, we aim to provide a resource of ideas and methods for constructivist physics teaching in the form of videos experiments, learning cycles and pre and post test questions.
  • Thirdly, this website may be used as a distance learning resource.
