Brief Biography
"In collaboration with his colleague Patterson Hume, Ivey helped to steer the direction of physics teaching in a new direction through the use of educational television programs and movies. Their movie Frames of Reference and the tv show The Nature of Things made physics accessible to a wider range of students. According to one of his colleagues, 'Don Ivey was above all a teacher whose humour and wit penetrated every lecture. I have heard him lecture to first- or second-year engineers, and he held their attention as few lecturers anywhere can do'. Professor Ivey also served as Principal of New College, and Vice-President of the University of Toronto."[1] Professor Ivey passed away in 2012 at the ripe age of 90.[2]
