Advanced Engineering Mathematics Interactive

这个概念验证项目正在制作，评估和改进线性代数，工程师复分析和偏微分方程的多媒体模块，这些模块可以作为全面的教育材料包的基础。 该项目的目标是使用新技术的方式，使它更容易为（1）学生成功的距离，异步，和“即时”学习环境;（2）该项目使用的技术工具类似于为弗吉尼亚理工大学设计使用的初等线性代数材料，目前正在准备用于全国分布。其基本组成部分是一套相互连接的基于网络的电子书（“电子书”），一系列传统的文本和光盘。电子书和光盘包含视频剪辑、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测试平台。该商场是一个50，000平方英尺，500台计算机的设施，旨在促进异步基于计算机的学习与现成的人力教学支持。

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.
