Physics (13)This project is developing a web-based, validated instrument to monitor, as the academic term progresses, student understanding of a wide range of introductory physics concepts. The distinguishing feature of the approach is a between-student testing mode of inquiry that allows assessment on a weekly timescale. The system rests upon a well-established body of research on student learning, forgetting, re-learning, and interference. The system coordinates selecting students for testing, test administration, and real-time analysis for instructors. Detailed developmental information is provided in a timely manner with low burden to instructors and minimal intrusion on class time. Because large student numbers are necessary for statistical analysis, the system is particularly appropriate for the canonical "large lecture class" of 200-400 students (or larger). Rochester Institute of Technology is responsible for software development, Wabash College is overseeing question validation, and Emory University, Bucknell University, Rutgers University, and Johnson C. Smith University are beta testing the project. Workshops at national meetings of the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers will solicit additional beta-testers.

物理（13）这个项目正在开发一个基于网络的，经过验证的仪器，以监测，随着学期的进展，学生对广泛的入门物理概念的理解。 该方法的显着特点是一个学生之间的测试模式的调查，允许每周的时间尺度评估。该系统依赖于对学生学习、遗忘、再学习和干扰的良好研究。该系统协调选择学生进行测试，测试管理和教师的实时分析。 及时提供详细的发展信息，减轻教师的负担，最大限度地减少对课堂时间的干扰。由于大量的学生人数是必要的统计分析，该系统是特别适合于典型的“大型讲座类”的200-400名学生（或更大）。 罗切斯特理工学院负责软件开发，瓦巴什学院负责问题验证，埃默里大学、巴克内尔大学、罗格斯大学和约翰逊C。史密斯大学正在测试该项目。 美国物理学会和美国物理教师协会的全国会议上的研讨会将征集更多的beta测试者。
