The COPUS Analyzer

Here a recent paper in Science that basically proofed and quantified what we already know: most STEM teaching and learning is (still) dominated by passive lectures. Here's what's cool: the authors created an online app to conduct their analysis and now we can use the app to compare our own teaching to the large data set used in the study. This is a great examples of crowd-sourcing additional data while at the same time give teachers a way to place themselves into the context of the wider community.
