PhysPort supports physics faculty in implementing research-based teaching practices in their classrooms, by providing expert recommendations about teaching methods, assessments, and results from physics education research (PER). A goal of this service is to synthesize and translate the important results of PER for use in the classroom.

PhysPort includes teaching and course recommendations from experts, guides to research-validated curricula, a database of learning assessment tools, and a tool to analyze this assessment data.
Editor's Note: The Physics Education Research (PER) community has been at the forefront of cognitive research into how people learn science and specific methodologies associated with successful classroom implementation of evidence-based best practice. The guidebook is well organized so that non-researchers can quickly and easily locate materials applicable to their particular student constituencies. Highly recommended.

PhysPort has been instrumental to help me decide on the types of assessments I needed for my dissertation research. Great work by all those who created this resource!
