Advanced Engineering Mathematics Interactive

这个概念验证项目正在制作、评估和完善线性代数、工程师复杂分析和偏微分方程等多媒体模块，这些模块可以作为一整套教育材料的基础。该项目的目标是使用新技术，使其更容易：(1)学生在远程、异步和“即时”学习环境中取得成功；(2)教师将材料模块整合到不同学科的不同课程中。该项目使用的技术工具类似于为弗吉尼亚理工大学设计的基本线性代数教材，目前正准备在全国分发。其基本组成部分是一组相互连接的基于网络的电子书（“电子书”）、一系列传统文本和cd - rom。电子书和cd - rom包含视频剪辑，高度互动的教学模块和自我评估工具。弗吉尼亚理工大学的数学商场被用作这些产品的试验台。商场是一个50,000平方英尺，500台计算机设施，旨在促进异步计算机为基础的学习，随时可用的人力教学支持。

This proof-of-concept project is producing, evaluating, and refining multimedia modules in linear algebra, complex analysis for engineers, and partial differential equations that can serve as a basis for a comprehensive package of educational materials. The goal of the project is to use new technology in a way that makes it easier for (1) students to succeed in distance, asynchronous, and "just-in-time" learning environments and (2) faculty to incorporate modules of materials into different courses in a variety of disciplines.The project is using technical tools similar to the Elementary Linear Algebra materials designed for use at Virginia Tech and now being prepared for national distribution. The basic components are a set of interconnected web-based electronic books ("e-books"), a series of traditional texts, and CD-ROMs. The e-books and CD-ROMs contain video clips, highly interactive instructional modules, and self-assessment tools.Virginia Tech's Math Emporium is being used as the test-bed for these products. The Emporium is a 50,000 square foot, 500 computer facility designed to promote asynchronous computer-based learning with readily available human instructional support.
