This web site provides information on the creation and assessment of "Context Rich Problems". These problems place physics in a real-world context to help students develop problem-solving skills. This resource includes an archive of questions organized by topic, plus a venue for physics instructors to share context-rich problems they have created. This approach is based on the work of the Minnesota Physics Education Research and Development group and is aligned with the Cooperative Learning instructional method.
