New Teaching Methodologies with Information presented with:
  • Multi Media is not necessarily the most important idea
  • Hyper linked (non sequential and World Wide) material is more important:
Used for first time in Physics 105 -- Science for the 21st Century -- last semester in SETI module
  • SETI -- Search for Extraterrestial Intelligence -- will be basis of class projects in Phy 106 this semester.
  • New ÒMind and MachinesÓ and ÒPseudoScience and the ParanormalÓ Modules offered experimentally in Phy 106
  • Need caching locally and high speed local networks to support the 167 students in class
  • This hyperlinked material accounts for about 10% Phy 105, 20% Phy 106 and expect to increase if success continues
  • Major Physics department commitment -- 3 faculty developing the 3 modules
