Page 11.1392.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Using Just-In-Time Teaching in Dynamics and Mechanics of MaterialsAbstractOver the last 8 years, the physics educational community has developed a new learning strategyknown as Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT). In this approach, students are required to answer shortquestions posted on the web at least two hours before class. Questions are typically open-endedand conceptual, rather than mathematical. The instructor then reads through the student answersbefore class and tailors the classroom experience based on student understanding. For newtopics, many students will appreciate some aspects of the idea, but different students will
