Research

As I finished up my doctorate, I found myself more interested in why physics is so hard for many students than what I was studying. I decided to focus on that and developing tools to help students learn physics, particularly using computers and the world wide web. I took the lead on developing the department's Interactive Classroom, am revamping the College Physics courses, and am particularly interested in good uses of web-based homework.

Professional Interests:

Revamping Physics 201/202 course and laboratory
Graphing and Drawing applets for web-based homework
Web-based homework for RealTime Physics
