New Patterns of Interaction in Internet-Based Mathematics

互联网的最新发展和专门设计的课程交流软件相结合，使学生与教师之间以及学生之间的互动成为可能。在布朗大学，在针对新生的多变量微积分课程和针对各级学生的跨学科第四维度入门课程中，首席研究员和他的学生同事已经开始开发允许扩大学生反应范围的结构，鼓励那些通常在常规定时考试或激烈的课堂或小组讨论中表现不佳的学生更深入地参与。

At Brown University, in a multivariable calculus course for freshmen and an introductory interdisplinary course on the Fourth Dimension for students at all levels, the Principle Investigator and his student associates have begun to develop structures that allow for an expanded range of student response, encouraging deeper levels of participation from students who ordinarily do not do well in conventional timed examinations or in intense classroom or small group discussion.
