This paper introduces Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT), a method that strives to implement a more active learning environment than lecture based classes. JiTT uses the world wide web to post student assignments, pre-class warm-up exercises, post-class puzzles, enrichment pages (What is Physices Good For?), and other instructional material.

This paper was presented at the 2000 IASTED International Conference on Computers and Advanced Technology in Education.
