Active Learning in Quantum Mechanics: Before, During, and After Lecture*

When instructors think about active learning in our courses, we usually focus on what happens inside the classroom.  In our work, we have focused on incorporating active learning elements not only during the lecture but also in pre-class surveys and post-class homework assignments.  As part of a larger research project on student learning in quantum mechanics, we have developed a suite of modular teaching materials that can be used in various ways to increase active engagement in your quantum mechanics course.  In this talk, I will describe the types of materials we use, why they are effective, and the different ways that the three authors use them in our courses.
