Let your imagination go wild!
• Instant response & feedback
• Hints systems
• Socratic tutor
• Classroom monitoring
• Automated in-class statistics and correlations

A Confluence of Technology
• Plethora of internet-capable devices
• Ubiquity of instant response technology (“clickers”)
• edX platform provides (reasonably) flexible baseline to build upon

8.01 and 8.02 Physics
• General Institute Requirements
• Mostly taken by freshmen
• Range from 500-750 students
• Uses TEAL format
• Uses MITx heavily
![Page 5: Clicking the Pieces Together - MITweb.mit.edu/xtalks/Bloomfield-xTalk.pdf · Clicking the Pieces Together ... 8.01 and 8.02 Physics ... • Every student registers their clicker.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edac12e434f4178104f9347/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Humble Clicker
• Used to get students thinking in class
• Provide real-time feedback to instructors on class understanding
• Every student registers their clicker

Students register on MITx
![Page 7: Clicking the Pieces Together - MITweb.mit.edu/xtalks/Bloomfield-xTalk.pdf · Clicking the Pieces Together ... 8.01 and 8.02 Physics ... • Every student registers their clicker.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edac12e434f4178104f9347/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
We generate class lists
![Page 8: Clicking the Pieces Together - MITweb.mit.edu/xtalks/Bloomfield-xTalk.pdf · Clicking the Pieces Together ... 8.01 and 8.02 Physics ... • Every student registers their clicker.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edac12e434f4178104f9347/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We load clicker data into MITx
![Page 9: Clicking the Pieces Together - MITweb.mit.edu/xtalks/Bloomfield-xTalk.pdf · Clicking the Pieces Together ... 8.01 and 8.02 Physics ... • Every student registers their clicker.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edac12e434f4178104f9347/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Students log into experiments in groups
![Page 10: Clicking the Pieces Together - MITweb.mit.edu/xtalks/Bloomfield-xTalk.pdf · Clicking the Pieces Together ... 8.01 and 8.02 Physics ... • Every student registers their clicker.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042312/5edac12e434f4178104f9347/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
They answer experiment questions in MITx and get feedback

Conclusions• We currently live in a technological utopia, but
getting systems to communicate is hard
• The technology has been around for a (comparatively) long time
• Only recently has the scaffolding for building such systems become available
• We are educators, not technologists
• Hopefully systems will soon become “off the shelf” instead of DIY
