Abstract

The recent development of science education leads educators to explore new teaching and learning methodologies and restructure classes and assignments to bring students' knowledge to the highest level of education by allowing learners to gain various skills that are reflected in their future. We are discussing how to develop and deliver effective online courses by personalizing the class and individualizing the assignments for learners to succeed in Physics. Various teaching and learning activities are aimed at effective learning and interaction to enhance student learning in this class structure. The students' performances and progress are analyzed in four large introductory Physics classes. Student registration and retention are well preserved by providing learners freedom of education, a sense of belonging, mindset-growing encouragements, effective feedback, problem-solving strategies, and one-to-one communications. Academic integrity is well-balanced by individualizing the assignments, personalizing class materials, breaking down problems, and investigating ChatGPT usage. The students' performances are analyzed by evaluating class performance in total grade distribution, missing assignments, and choice-based learning. Student progress is investigated by analyzing their commitment, respect, willingness to improve, and time management toward education. Overall, the class model demonstrates great performance, progress, and achievements that indicate a positive learning environment for all students throughout the semester. Hence, the effective model with personalized assignments, and other strategies that we share will be highly beneficial for science education.
