Portioned Practice and Fast Feedback

I created scaffolded 11U practice problems in Google Forms so students can submit their responses for immediate feedback. The forms are intended to save time and make practice / 'homework' more meaningful and rewarding for both teachers and students. Details, motivations and jusifications can be found in the articles below.

OAPT Newsletter - May 2021 - The articles (below) appear in the Ontario Association of Physics Teachers (OAPT) Ontario Association of Physics Teachers (OAPT) newsletter: Part 1, Part 2.

OAPT Physics Hour - Mar 04 2021 - 20-minute presentation of the forms and their usefullness was given at March's OAPT Physics Hour Conference (recording, slides). Description below:

We know the value of immediate feedback and how small errors can spoil a whole solution. We also know that checking every step of our students' practice is impractical. Or is it? Can we make digital versions of our practice-checking expertise? This session will focus on making the steps of expert problem solving explicit and getting Google Forms, Sheets and App Script to provide the feedback that we and our students thrive on.
