The results of physics education research and the availability of computer-based tools have led to the development of research validated active learning strategies that have been demonstrated to enhance learning in the introductory physics course. (1), (2) One reason for the success of these materials is that they engage students to take an active role in their learning. This interactive session will demonstrate Interactive Lecture Demonstrations (ILDs) (3) through active audience participation. The session will include ILDs using clickers and video analysis, and also a virtual version—Home-Adapted ILDs—to be used in distance learning situations. (4) ILDs have been demonstrated to substantially improve conceptual learning.
