Short, 1-week, open courses offered on edX that explore timely topics

This study compares performance in a face to face, online and strategically designed self-paced online course. The results showed small performance improvements for the self-paced students compared with the face to face students and larger improvements when compared to the instructor paced online course. The researchers speculate that the increased flexibility allows learners to achieve maximum performance, but this result could also be attributed to the design improvements. They discuss the design improvements made to the self-paced course, but do not share any information about the design of the face to face or instructor paced online courses. It would be interesting to see if design improvements in those formats that provided the same opportunities for interaction and feedback would change the results.

The results show that students most highly value interactions with the instructor and content.

This study involves a self-paced developmental mathematics course (N=86). The results showed that the students' perceived intrinsic value of the learning was a significant predictor of success in the course. Motivation had a greater impact on students' ability to succeed than prior knowledge (based on ACT math scores).

I think this is cool!

Remember in class when we discussed the definition of radiation. It means more than something that is radioactive. All things what emit light or things in the electromagnetic spectrum radiate. Like this radiant cook top is radiating in the thermal range (and in the visible light range of the spectrum as well-- thus the red light we see).f

We did not cover what entropy is in class. Entropy is discussed in Hakim's Newton at the Center book. Entropy is the tendency of the Universe to move toward more disorder. But, it will turn out in Physics and Chemistry that we can measure entropy, energy and a thing called enthalpy. It takes the 3 of them together to decide if a physical process or chemical reaction can happen in thermodynamics.

A limiting case is extremely useful in science. It is something that will usually give us an absolute max or min. So, Planck is saying here that we can use Wien's equation to form a boundary to at least check that we are in the right zone for the correct answer.

So, what was this Wien's Equation that Planck was improving? Wien had come up with a formula that was really close to the one that Planck would describe. But, it didn't work for short wavelengths and high frequencies. Rayleigh and Jeans had earlier come up with a straight-line formula that worked for larger wavelengths and lower frequencies, but not the higher ones. Planck's was the first to work for both. To review the relationship between wavelength and frequency, see the phet simulation here.

He fell for it...

Oh, he got me! When I read this the first time, I thought Galileo was making a mistake here. But...

Fun! New addition to our Aristotle Leads the Way class for the Eratosthenes Homework!

Ha! He's so funny.

New homework assignment for Aristotle Class! Hurrah!

Aristotle famously fought with his teacher, Plato, that we should make observations. Galileo is making the point that the Peripatetics are just quoting Aristotle's writings. They have not understood what he said about how science should be conducted. Aristotle went out into the world to observe things for himself.

No, they didn't have computers. :-) The word computer used to refer to the person who is doing the math-- like in the movie "Hidden Figures" that tells the story of the African American women who did the math for the early NASA missions. For quite a while, many in computer science and astronomy thought that only a woman's brain was suited for being a computer or a programmer.

Still a problem for us today! This is why credible scientific experiments must always be designed to compensate for the "Cognitive Biases" of the experimenters and-- when humans are also the subjects-- of the subjects.

Simplicio has a point here. Copernicus has proposed how things work outside the conditions we have on the Earth. Simplicio is saying-- "Hey, you want us to observe things? When we observe things, stuff doesn't move perpetually without someone moving it on purpose." It turns out that Copernicus was right-- in space, we don't have the issues of air-resistance and some of the other forces that slow moving objects down.

Galileo puts himself forward as the true Aristotelian in several places-- because they were both people who decided to observe first and then decide things.

Galileo will get some stuff wrong about curved motion being the natural motion, but this bit he gets very right. And, it is something that is really hard for people to remember. We somehow "get" that linear momentum is a thing, but angular momentum is still amazingly surprising. Check out this video for an example of that.

Oh-- I need to find this in Aristotle!

Love this!

This concept would resonate with Newton and help us get to his Law of Universal Gravitation.

Thought Experiment on the Principle of Relativity, Part 2.

The Thought Experiment on the Principle of Relativity, Part 1.

For my students who are reading this to find out about the Principle of Relativity (Newton and Einstein classes) and not theories of the Universe (Newton and Aristotle classes), you might want to skip down to my next comment.

What is truly motionless in the Universe? That's a hard one. Currently, we measure all relative movement in astronomy against the Cosmic Background Radiation or the Cosmic Microwave Background. But, we currently believe-- based on the work of Edwin Hubble-- that space itself is expanding. So, there seems to be no absolutely "still" spot in the Universe. Galileo wants to divide the Universe into the moving and the motionless here. But, we now think that there is nothing in the Universe that is motionless.

• This video explains why the Big Bang should be called the "Everywhere Stretch."
• More on the Cosmic Microwave Background

If Jane and Mary have a motion that is "common" to both of them, it doesn't matter to them that they are moving. But, if Bob has a different motion, both Jane and Mary think that Bob is moving. It's obvious. But, they might forget the the two of them are both moving. My laptop and I are moving at a breakneck speed as the earth spins on its axis and orbits around the sun all while the sun and the Milk Way Galaxy its in are also moving. But, I don't think about that most days. And, I would say that we are both sitting still in a coffee shop right now and the Mocha sitting next to me is not going to suddenly spill. It has a motion common to me and my laptop. But, if we came across something that was totally still-- we would notice! In fact, I would think, "Wow! That thing is moving FAST!"

I love this! Galileo's attitude shines through. Aristotle? Really? Didn't any of those people who worked on ships figure this out for themselves? He's saying, "Hey-- your hero worship is showing."

The Peripatetics were a group of philosophers who thought while walking. Sometimes it is used to refer to traveling philosophers or teachers-- kind of like "visiting professor" today. But, here, the speaker is saying that what SALV has said agrees with Aristotle. That is, " This is good, sound doctrine, and entirely Aristotelian." The Peripatetics were Aristotelian.

This is where the discussion of Galileo's Principle of Relativity really gets going.

This is my favorite passage in all of Galileo's writings.

There are some optical aberrations that were illusions of the telescope. But, they really got conspiratorial in their theories about the telescope at this time. It was much like people today who think our images of the Earth are part of a NASA conspiracy.

Interesting! Galileo was a friend of Kepler-- Tycho's best student and the man who disproved his model of the Universe after his death.

But, here, Galileo may give Aristotle too much credit. Science historians currently see the real lack of new experiments to test a conclusion drawn from observations as the principle difference between the science done by people before the Scientific Revolution and the science done during and after it.

Aristotle isn't Galileo's enemy and he acknowledges it here.

Simplicio made the mistake of saying that there aren't any changes because he never saw any. But, he has no means of detecting them! How many of these assumptions are we making today because we haven't invented some new way of measuring our Universe and its many dimensions?

Nerd-burn again! Ha, ha!

:-(

Aristotle might be more right about this than Galileo is-- that is that motion is made up of straight lines. Galileo will make a mistake about "curved motion" to be natural motion. He did not understand-- as we do-- how vector decomposition could explain the parabolic trajectory of a cannonball.

Wow! He is taking on Pythagoras and his secret society as well as Aristotle. His Dad took on Pythagoras and his music theories when Galileo was a child and his father was a famous composer.

So funny! I wish I could have taken classes from him.

This is a problem of scientists even today. If you go ahead to read Day 4, you might wonder if Galileo himself has this problem-- since his explanation of the tides is a bit off.

Ha! Nerd-humor/Nerd-burn!

Hypothes.is nicely bridges the worlds of social media and formal education.

This is just another ways of saying the problem they are looking at: "When I heat something to a certain temperature, how can I predict the color of the light that will come off of it?"

He wants you to think about a closed system. If you are doing Newton at the Center or you had me for that class, this is what Lavoisier is on about (and why we had the slide with the walls around Paris over and over again).

So, in a perfect vacuum. Because in anything less than a perfect vacuum, the velocity of light is a bit slower. Like when we use a prism of glass or water to separate light out-- we are using the fact that the waves slow down differently in goopier stuff.

And, these things are in some stuff that lets heat flow through freely. Like a perfect vacuum.

He's just saying you have a bunch of them and they all have their own frequency.

But, he knows his results are the better than anyone else has gotten so far. So, he's saying-- "Hey, don't give up before you check out my awesome results at the end."

A Calculus solution would have been more elegant. He's being a bit defensive here, since his "quanta" won't look like a nice Calculus formula.

Constants of Nature are a big deal. For more on them, I recommend this book: The Constants of Nature

This is a big deal. He is saying that his new theory is general. And, it's a relief to us. Because it means that we can plug in values when we see them and that they should always work.

But, how much of the theory did he actually understand himself at this point?

See Newton at the Center for Boltzman's Constant

So, the M&M experiment will tell us that there is none. But, for the purpose of measurement for the experiment here, it acts as if there is a stationary reference frame. Remember our first homework where you built a reference frame to observe the retrograde motion of mars?

He's saying that you have to look at the experiment for a long time compared to the period of the vibration. The period of the vibration is the frequency. So, it's not hard to look at an experiment much longer than that. Basically, he's saying we would expect there to be a whole bunch of random wavelength/frequency thingies showing up over the time we take a measurement. But, that's not exactly what he found.

Monochromatic means one color. The color of light is determined by its wavelength.

Max Planck's 1900 Paper Part B

So, why is this so separated from the last part? In this part, he wants to make clear what is new.

Link to next paper.

• E is Energy
• C is not the speed of light here. It refers to a constant.
• $$\lambda$$ is always the wavelength
• the little e is a special irrational number called Euler's Number).
• And, I'm not honestly sure if it is being raised to c the speed of light or C the constant in question. And, that's OK. Remember-- we don't need to totally digest any of the papers we are reading for this section. You can always go back when you have more information.

This is not the last we have heard of probability. And, remember when we looked at the Bohr model of the atom? We said that those orbital tracks were useful, but not what the atom was really like. Turns out the electrons are in orbitals of probability clouds.

For what a logarithm is see the optional "Dragon Finding with Logarithms" homework on our class page or this fantastic video by Vi Hart.

They turn out not to be so arbitrary. But, I like how we can see how humble he is at this point. He is just plugging things in to the math that work without knowing why they work and without being able to solve the equation exactly and it's bugging him.

If the continuous function thing were valid, then we could always get from S to U and U to S. But, it's not continuous, so we can't.

Remember, the n is important because it means that what he's talking about is in countable buckets and not continuous like Calculus wants.

Some constant goes here. So far, h is working around with Wien's Law and he's saying that "if you take a special case" you will get to the point where the second derivative (see the 2's in the left hand side of this equation?) of the entropy (he called that S earlier) compared to the vibrational energy (he called that U earlier) is equal to some number divided by the vibrational energy (the U on the right hand side of the equation).

The 2 here and the one below look like we are squaring something, but it's more Calculus. The 2 in this case is the second derivative. The derivative is the slope of the line. If the line is curved, the second derivative is how fast the slope of the line changes.

Scientific correspondence is still a big deal.

f(something) is a special notation in math. It looks like it means fsomething. But, it doesn't. It means "an equation where the only thing you have to plug in is the something". And we say that "f is a function of something". So, f(x) means that "f is a function of x". Here is an f(x): xx*x + 3. To know what that is equal to, all you need to know is what x is equal. Here he is saying that there is some equation where you just needed to know U. U above was the vibrational energy. The little n next to the U means that it is the particular vibrational energy for the resonator he was talking about a minute ago. Don't worry about the math other than that. But, there are some \(\bigtriangleup\)'s here. Remember from our "don't look down" lessons that this means the change in something.

Spoiler Alert! There is no Stationary Radiation Field. Michelson and Morley prove that and Einstein will talk about what that implies in his papers.

n is kind of a big deal here. In statistics, it relates to the number of things you are counting. And, what "n identical resonators" means is that there are a countable number-- so it isn't continuous like with Calculus.

Infinitesimal is talking about Calculus. Remember that in class we said that Calculus was giving them the wrong answers. When you add up the infinitesimal stuff he is looking at you get something like this: But, what Planck found out was that the energy comes in distinct buckets. So, it would look more like this in reality:

Remember in class when we talked about the wave on the string simulation? The beads on the string stayed in place and just move up and down. The vibrational energy he is talking about here is the energy the person who holds the end of the string would feel when the wave got to their hand.

To understand more about resonance, take a look at this phet.colorado.edu simulation.

Remember-- Planck is thinking about the Ultraviolet Catastrophe. Physics Girl and PBS Space Time both have great videos on this.

Online tutoring with its growth and popularity in all over the world has become an excellent place for the job seekers with mastery in almost any subject, academic or others like music and arts. Click on the website of any online tutoring company in UK and you will find that they require teacher for any subject you know. However, the demand of the tutors varies from subject to subject.

Online tutoring is the word on the streets; it refers to all the courses that are taught through a captured video clip of the teacher explaining the topic, while the students watch these recorded clips over the Internet.

Now days finding a job are not an easy task or it could be said that there are vast opportunities available for people to get work. In the era of internet there are lots of work opportunities. People just need to grab them and get paid for their skills and competencies. Out of all the jobs online tutoring is something which is very popular and highly respectable job.

A tutor should firstly know about his/her personal skills of teaching and make those skills the base of determining the price per hour. The highly educated tutors usually expect much more money that the other tutors but sometimes even the highly educated tutors do not have good skills in teaching.http://blog.selectmytutor.co.uk/tips-for-tutor-before-deciding-their-hourly-rate/

Sounds like solving the problem with comments is a priority to many, but approaches tend to diverge. Some content publishers have decided to turn off comments, because of perceived issues with the “signal-to-noise ratio”. Others adopt a community management approach, enabling people to monitor and moderate comments as a special type of a group effort. Annotation brings this approach to a new mode, though people may not comments and annotations as occupying the same sphere.

It's winter time and that means it's cold out there, like Hajnalka notes. Shivering little bodies shuffling from class to class. Seeing as vcu is a school where classes are scattered all over it just seems like a “double whammy” to study for hours and hours, and days and days, then have to sniffle your way to a classroom where you'll be stuck up against all those other students for just a few hours. Also, like the brilliant Hajnalka noted, traveling is a bummer for many students as well, so to have to travel for a mere two hour long test when it could be done at their house seems like an even more bummer. Even you, professor, allowed a student of yours in our theory class go home because you thought her well-being surpassed being in a physical classroom (sorry to hit you with that example, but it's all I got!). I know we are so privileged to be in a safe and community focused school, where we are tremendously lucky to have access to teachers and college in general, and I just know that we're beyond appreciative and grateful for all those things … but we've had all of our other exams (quizzes) online already, I think we've become used to it. I'd totally understand coming to class for an exam if that's how it was done the whole semester, but seeing as it wasn't we're addicted to the home exams...no worries though, it's not a serious addiction! ...(thank you thank you thank you Hajnalka for taking the time to create the argument we all agree with! ) (p.s. Sorry to debate you professor! It's all in good fun....but we're serious too!) -bria g-g

Some connection with SAMR, unbundling, “open learning”… With diverse learners whose constraints may affect institutions, there’s a fair bit of talk about new(ish) tech-infused approaches to distance education. As with many other things, not much of it is new. But there might be some enabling phenomena. Not sure how gamification fits, here. Sure, open play could allow for a lot of flexibility. But gamification is pretty much the reverse: game mechanics without the open-ended playfulness.
