Flipping General Physics Course with Online Videos and OER Resources

Abstract

We introduce four concepts on the first day of class: Momentum, Energy, Forces, and Motion, starting very simple and increase complexity for the first 6 weeks, adding trigonometry in week 7, repeating the process for rotational mechanics for the last three weeks. Providing ~ 100 videos online leaves class time open for demos, discussions and peer instruction. I continue to learn from my students as we engage in considerable reflection about what we are doing and how we feel about it.
