The recent global move to online instruction has increased the importance of videos in education. At the same time, active learning has become increasingly accepted as an improvement over passive instruction. How can we transfer the advantages of active learning to instruction via video? We found that physics videos are most effective when they are designed both to actively engage students and manage their cognitive load. Notably, it is the combination that matters; videos that either solely promote active learning or solely manage cognitive load provide no advantage to learning outcomes.

AAPT® is a strong professional physics science society dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in physical science education.

Winter and Summer National Meetings:
These National Meetings, held each winter and summer, are opportunities for members, colleagues, and future physicists from around the world to:

- participate in physics workshops
- meet and greet other physics educators
- form networks nationally and locally
- engage exhibitors and learn about the latest physics resources
- discuss innovations in teaching methods
- share the results of research about teaching and learning.

This astrophysics research is intended to use methods of spectroscopy to measure the redshift of quasar 3C 273. This tendency of the spectra of quasars to be redshifted is important because it indicates that these bodies are receding from Earth at rates proportional to their distance. This is an important indicator of the expansion of the universe. After collecting this data, we hope that a physics laboratory experiment to perform measurements like this can be developed at Saginaw Valley State University.
