Computer Intensive Physics Robert G. Fuller

You now need to
connect this classroom to the world wide web or something like the world wide web so the students can get access to the to the
information outside of class (See Figure 25). You now have e-mail, you have the World Wide Web, Internet access news groups and things like that. You add the more support that is needed for this course.

We organized the classes something like workshop physics (Laws, 1994). All of the physics was put into seven periods during the week. We had 350 minutes of class each week. Each class period at Nebraska is 50 minutes long. All of the normal lecture time and the problem solving time and the laboratory time were put together into unified course period and we met three times a week for about 2 .5 hours. The only way we could figure out how to do this was to divide the course into week long modules around a fundamental concepts.
