Activity-Based Physics is a multi-university project to sustain and
enhance current efforts to render introductory physics courses more effective
and exciting at both the secondary and college level. This program represents
a multi-university collaborative effort by a team of educational reformers
to use the outcomes of physics education research along with flexible computer
tools to promote activity-based models of physics instruction. This multifaceted
program includes the refinement of existing written materials, apparatus,
instructional techniques, and computer software and hardware; the creation
of new instructional materials and approaches; and dissemination. The refinement
and development of new instructional strategies and materials will be informed
by a comprehensive program of classroom testing and educational research.
