Acquiring a Teacher Account

Students can use the Minds On Physics Internet Modules without joining or subscribing to the service. Similarly, teachers can preview the modules without any form of membership. The process involves going to the Start page and clicking the For Credit Mode (recommended) or For Practice Mode buttons. If selecting the For Credit Mode, simply use Guest and 123456 as the Teacher Code and the Student ID number. This process allows visitors to use the Minds On Physics Internet Modules (MOP) as a learning tool.

If a teacher wishes to use MOP with their classes as a homework tool or a combination of homework-classwork tool, then a teacher will need to purchase a member account in order to check on the validity of student success codes. Details about the teacher side of MOP are included at the Teacher Use page. By purchasing a teacher account, a teacher will receive an official teacher code that can be entered by their students when starting MOP. Student success codes will be based upon this teacher code (and the student's ID number). The teacher account provides the teacher access to a password-protected website where student success codes can be checked. Unlike the previous version of MOP, checking student success codes is a relatively painless task that takes about 15 minutes for a unit's worth of homework for a typical class.

Teacher accounts also provide teachers with the ability to quickly preview questions within any given assignment using the Teacher Preview mode. The mode can be used to discuss specific questions with a class in advance of giving an assignment. Teacher Preview mode is also useful during short help sessions with students; it allows the teacher to quickly finding that troublesome question that the student keeps missing. Finally, the Teacher Preview mode allows a teacher to customize an assignment by removing up to two groups of questions that are in the assignment. A more complete discussion of the teacher preview mode and assignment customization can be found at the Teacher Use page.
