Experimental Physics 1 - How 5 innovations make a mechanics course more engaging

We were pleased to present our course "Experimental Physics 1", a standard mechanics course for first-year physics students that we taught in the winter term 22/23, at the ENLIGHT Teaching and Learning Conference at Tartu University on 08.10.2024!
The course includes five innovations to make this traditional course more engaging:
1. Interactive questions engage students' critical thinking
2. Animations visualize complex physics phenomena
3. UA-cam videos recap lecture content
4. Surveys measure students' stress supporting health & well-being
5. Research-oriented group projects foster creativity, collaboration & decision-making
What do you think about innovative and engaging physics courses? Would you like to take such a course as well? Please let us know in the comments! :-)
