Physics 2000
"An interactive journey through modern physics" -- contains some very cool and accessible explanations of such recent developments as Bose-Einstein condensates. Lots of Java applets are used to illustrate key principles.
iCampus: Projects: Technology Enabled Active Learning (TEAL)
Goal: Replace MIT's large freshman Physics lectures with a studio format, in which one can engage students more fully by incorporating active learning methods into the Introductory Physics classroom, enabled by technology.
SCALE-UP
Educational research indicates that students should collaborate on interesting tasks and be deeply involved with the material they are studying. We promote active learning in a redesigned classroom of 100 students or more. (Of course, smaller classes can also benefit.) We believe the SCALE-UP Project has the potential to radically change the way large classes are taught at colleges and universities.
