The key features of this professional learning course are 5 online sessions (meets) followed by a 2 day residential course at SSERC.
The online sessions will be hands-on, with participants carrying out instructions under the direction of a live presenter. Resources will be sent to your school before the online sessions to support the activities involved.

The free, open-source Tracker software package, written by Doug Brown of Cabrillo College, has been a favourite of ours at SSERC for over a decade. Tracker is many-faceted, but at its core is the ability to analyse video and still images. Students working at home could perform meaningful practical work using the application. Recently, it has become possible to run Tracker in a browser.
