In many small colleges, one physics instructor is called upon to teach several different levels of introductory physics. There generally are not enough students to justify offering parallel lecture style classes at a given time to students with varying calculus proficiency.Workshop Physics is a teaching system in which students build their own understanding of physics by direct interaction with phenomena. Traditional lectures are replaced by guided hands-on activities for students working in small groups. Microcomputers interfaced with laboratory equipment allow for real-time measurements and immediate interpretation of results by the students.This project is resulting in an instructional design in which both calculus-based and non-calculus students learn physics in the same classroom/laboratory at the same time with one teacher using The Workshop Physics approach. Improved learning and better use of instructional resources are the outcomes.NSF grant funds are being matched with funds from non-federal sources.

在许多小型学院中，一名物理教师被要求教授几个不同级别的入门物理。 通常没有足够的学生来证明在给定时间向具有不同微积分水平的学生提供并行讲座式课程是合理的。研讨会物理是一种教学系统，学生通过与现象的直接互动来建立自己对物理的理解。 传统的讲座被以小组形式指导学生的实践活动所取代。 与实验室设备连接的微型计算机允许学生进行实时测量并立即解释结果。该项目的教学设计中，微积分学生和非微积分学生在同一教室/实验室与一名教师同时使用讲习班物理方法学习物理。 结果是改善学习和更好地利用教学资源。国家科学基金会拨款资金正在与非联邦来源的资金相匹配。
