Why is JiTT potentially helpful?

• Students must at least consider material before class.
• Students want to know the answer!
• It is harder for students to fall behind.
• Students see other students' responses.
• "Personalized" lectures.
• Students must think conceptually before mathematically.

Why is JiTT potentially NOT helpful?

• Students can become frustrated with daily exercises.
• Students may not feel they are getting proper feedback.
• Students may still use novice problem-solving approaches even though they are ineffective.

We have been extremely encouraged by our FCI Results from 3 years of using JiTT and Physlets in College/University Physics.....

Traditional g = 0.25               More Interactive 0.38 < g <  0.68 (Hake, 1998)

....so why not advanced classes????  Assessment tools, like the FCI,  are just now being developed for advanced courses (for example, R. Robinett's QMVI).
