Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement: Animation and Portfolios in Pre-Calculus, Calculus and Differential Equations

9353967曼哈顿社区学院的威尔金森区一直是微积分改革运动的领导人。他们目前的微积分、微积分和微分方程式预科课程强调学生们分组工作，并使用计算机图示器和计算机代数系统来创建书面荣誉项目和动画数学电影。它将伯克利的乌里·特雷斯曼开发的模型改编成适用于一所大型城市非住宿学院的模型，并在技术和替代评估模型上的高度重视方面超越了特雷斯曼模型。这个项目建立在他们以前的微积分课程项目的基础上。他们将为每两个暑期开设两个地区暑期教员研讨会。其中一个研讨会是为没有技术经验的教师开设的，重点是准备微积分预科和微积分方面的协作性计算机资料包。第二期工作坊面向在技术方面更有经验的教员，强调使用新的计算机技术(例如MacroMind Director)来制作动画图形，并允许学生创建有关微积分、微积分和微分方程式的数学电影。***

9353967 Wilkinson Borough of Manhattan Community College has been a leader of the Calculus reform movement. Their present precalculus, calculus and differential equations curriculum emphasizes students working in groups and using computer graphers and computer algebra systems to create written honors projects and animated mathematical movies. It adapts the model developed by Uri Treisman at Berkeley to a large urban non-residential college, and moves beyond the Treisman model in its strong emphasis in technology and alternative assessment models. This project builds on their previous calculus curriculum projects. They are offering two regional summer faculty workshops for each of two summers. One workshop is for faculty inexperienced in technology and focuses on the preparation of collaborative computer portfolios in precalculus and calculus. The second workshop for faculty more experienced in technology and is emphasizing the use of new computer technology (e.g., Macromind Director) that animates graphs, and allows students to create mathematics movies in precalculus, calculus, and differential equations. ***
