ClassAction2

Announcement - We normally simply add new questions to the bottom of a module to prevent the numbering associated with questions from changing. However, rarely a complete reorganization is appropriate to group questions of a similar topic near each other or to add a large amount of new material.

• • Please note that during May (and likely into August) of 2013, substantial revisions are being performed on the Jovian Planets (and moons) Module.

  • Please note that during May (and likely into June) of 2013, substantial revisions are being performed on the Debris Module.

  • Please note that during April of 2013, substantial revisions were performed on the ExtraSolarPlanets module.

  • The Binary and Variable Stars and the Coordinates and Motions Modules were both reorganized around April of 2012.

ClassAction v2 is a browser for all ClassAction questions. All modules below (and their resources) are accessible within this browser. See this blog post for more information about the capabilities of this version.

The most significant newly added feature is the ability to create and download custom modules. Use right-clicks (control-clicks on Mac) to add resources to your custom modules. More detailed instructions are on the v2 page.

ClassAction modules consist of questions and resources designed to encourage student engagement in the classroom. More details can be found on the overview, how to use and pedagogy pages. The PowerPoint page gives some guidance on importing ClassAction resources into PowerPoint.

The modules below roughly follow the outline of most introductory astronomy textbooks. ClassAction is still being actively developed, so some topics are covered more thoroughly than others. Clicking on a module name opens the module in a pop-up window.
