Collaborative Project: A Comprehensive WeBWorK Problem Library

WebWork是一个免费的在线作业系统，已经被证明在帮助学生学习数学方面是有效的。目前，它的使用有些技术性。这个项目的目标是让教师更容易地使用网络工作，从而对各种类型的机构的学生学习产生积极的影响。智力价值：这个项目的主要成果是组织了一个编码到网络工作中的国家家庭作业问题图书馆，并开发了软件工具，以方便对这个电子图书馆的访问。教授各种数学课程的教师可以在库中搜索他们想要的问题类型，并使用点击式界面为作业选择特定的问题。该项目正在通过与社区大学合作来测试和改进软件工具。广泛的影响：国家网络题库和附带的软件正在帮助促进教学并增强数学教育的基础设施。这些都可以在网络上免费获得。此外，该项目通过向全国数学教师提供有效教授数学的新工具，促进了他们的教师发展。该项目的成果正通过为教师举办的讲习班和在会议上的发言来传播。它的目标是几个有不同受众的会议，其中包括来自不同类型学校的数学教师。

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.
