Collaborative Project: A Comprehensive WeBWorK Problem Library

WeBWorK是一种免费的在线作业系统，已被证明在帮助学生学习数学方面很有效。目前，它的使用有些技术性。该项目的目标是使教师更容易使用WeBWorK，从而对各种类型机构的学生学习产生积极影响。智力价值：该项目的主要成果是组织一个国家家庭作业问题库，并将其编码为WeBWorK，并开发软件工具以方便访问该电子库。教授各种数学课程的教师可以在库中搜索他们想要的类型的问题，并使用指向和点击界面来选择特定的问题作为作业。该项目正在与社区大学合作，测试和完善软件工具。更广泛的影响：国家网络问题库和配套软件正在帮助促进教学和加强数学教育的基础设施。这些都是在网上免费提供的。此外，该项目还通过向全国各地的数学教师提供一种有效教授数学的新工具，促进了他们的师资发展。该项目的成果正在通过教师讲习班和在会议上的发言加以传播。它的目标是与来自不同类型学校的数学教师组成的不同受众的几次会议。

WeBWorK is a free, online homework system that has been shown to be effective in helping students learn mathematics. At present, it is somewhat technical to use. The goal of this project is to make it much easier for teachers to use WeBWorK so that it can have a positive impact on student learning at a variety of types of institutions.Intellectual Merit: The principal outcome of this project is the organization of a national library of homework problems coded into WeBWorK, and the development of software tools to facilitate easy access to this electronic library. Instructors teaching a variety of mathematics courses can search the library for problems of the type they want, and use a point-and-click interface to select specific problems for assignments. The project is testing and refining the software tools by partnering with community colleges.Broader Impact: The national WeBWorK problem library and the accompanying software are helping to promote teaching and enhance the infrastructure for education in mathematics. These are being freely available over the web. Moreover, the project is fostering faculty development of mathematics teachers around the country by making a new tool accessible to them for effectively teaching mathematics. The results of the project are being disseminated through workshops for teachers and presentations at conferences. It targets several conferences with different audiences comprised of mathematics teachers from different types of schools.
