Mathematical Science (21). This Adaptation and Implementation project uses the DyKnow Vision software and tablet computers, which have had early success at DePauw University, to provide an interactive learning experience for students in the classroom to improve student comprehension and enthusiasm. A "DyKnow Laboratory" can be set up in any classroom, so that each topic of study - an algorithm, a graph, an example, or a drawing - can be viewed, modified, and saved by both the instructor and the student. The result of each lab is a separate file that is accessible on the web. Each copy of the file can be annotated digitally, thus providing individualized transcripts for each student. The annotations can be done in real time in the lab or later during study and review.The project centers on four lower-level courses, three in mathematics and one in introductory computer science. The two investigators who teach these courses are transforming them into interactive courses during the two-year life of the project. Student outcomes are being assessed and results are being presented at a National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education meeting and workshop for other liberal arts colleges.

数学科学（21）。本适应与实施项目使用DyKnow Vision软件和平板电脑，为学生在课堂上提供互动学习体验，提高学生的理解能力和积极性。DyKnow Vision软件和平板电脑在DePauw大学已经取得了早期的成功。“DyKnow实验室”可以在任何教室里建立，这样每个学习主题——算法、图表、示例或绘图——都可以被教师和学生查看、修改和保存。每个实验的结果都是一个单独的文件，可以在网上访问。文件的每个副本都可以进行数字注释，从而为每个学生提供个性化的成绩单。注释可以在实验室实时进行，也可以在学习和复习期间进行。该项目以四门较低水平课程为中心，三门是数学课程，一门是计算机科学入门课程。教授这些课程的两位研究者在项目的两年生命周期中将这些课程转化为互动课程。学生的成绩正在被评估，结果将在国家技术和文科教育学院的会议和其他文科学院的研讨会上展示。
