Measurement assignments

• Simple, one topic or one phenomenon at a time

• In groups of 4-6• Measurements + laws of physics +

calculations + explanation

Physics & Engineering skills – and beyond

Students:• Argument their opinions.• Evaluate peers’ opinions.• Evaluate if they themselves really know –

or just have a ”feeling”. • Come to a joint conclusion … hopefully

based on scientific reasoning.

And if they came to a wrong result:• Not a person’s fault – it’s the group….• (Try to) find where their own cognitive

model was incorrect and rebuild it.

Measurement Assignments

Sami Suhonen 2017

1) Power Point → video clip

• Time-consuming• Quite easy• Rather large area• Equations rather easy

to present

• Good quality graphics• Few animations• Embedded video• Easily editable in all ways• We use this for theory

video clips

Video production methods:

Sami Suhonen 2017

2) iPad (or any video camera) + paper

mic

• Fast• Easy• Large area• Equations easy to

present

• Graphics quality depends on the person J

• Not easily editable (onlyclipping and voice-over)

• We use this for homeworksolution video

Video production methods:

Sami Suhonen 2017

3) iPad + Explain Everything • Faster than PP• Quite easy• Unlimited area or slides• Equations more difficult to

present

• Good quality graphics• Embedded video and pictures• Easily editable in all ways• We use this for theory videos +

homework solution videos

Video production methods:

Sami Suhonen 2017

4) Screen Capture Videos

• Good for explaining theusage of differentprograms

• Possible to edit only withvideo editing software

• We use for Excel (signalprocessing etc.)

Video production methods:

Sami Suhonen 2017

5) Video Camera + Cameraman

• Cameraman needed• Good for explaining the

proper use of laboratoryequipment

• Usually video editor is needed (to add clips to onecomplete video)

Teacher’s online presence, care and interest are of greatest importance.

Translation: ”It’s so nice that teacher helps and answers also here! Not everyone would bother… Thanks for that”

Agree! Cool. Thx.
