WeBWorK: Improving Student Success in Mathematics

网络工作：提高学生在数学领域的成功学科：数学科学(21)CCLI第三阶段项目“网络工作：提高学生在数学方面的成功”正在更新、扩展和增强最常用的、免费分发的、开源的在线数学作业系统之一。通过为学生提供关于答案有效性的即时反馈，并让他们有机会在他们还在思考问题的时候纠正错误，网络工作正在帮助学生专注于任务，并在学习过程中增加学生家庭作业的有效性。通过使用网络工作，每个学生都可以收到个性化版本的问题，从而使教师能够鼓励学生一起工作。此外，教师可以为学生选择不同级别和类型的问题，从常规问题到更高级的互动问题。美国数学协会(MAA)正与网络工作开发商合作，为网络工作创造一个永久的支持家园，从而为数学科学界提供可靠的、长期的网络工作访问，同时加强持续的维护和开发。MAA正在为网络课程提供托管服务，这样教授们就可以获得网络课程的经验，而不必首先在他们的家庭机构安装它。此外，网络工作正在被整合到更多的课程管理系统中。项目评估小组正在调查网络工作对学生学习的影响，并评估项目传播努力的效果。此外，MAA正在扩大对使用网络的有效做法的研究。培训研讨会为教师提供了有效利用网络工作所需的工具。演示文稿和出版物让教职员工了解到利用网络改善学生大学数学学习的结果。

WeBWorK: Improving Student Success in MathematicsDiscipline: Mathematical Sciences (21)This CCLI Phase 3 project, "WeBWorK: Improving Student Success in Mathematics," is updating, expanding, and enhancing one of the most used, freely-distributed, open source, online, mathematics homework systems. By providing students with immediate feedback about the validity of their answers and giving them the opportunity to correct mistakes while they are still thinking about the problem, WeBWorK is helping students stay on task and is increasing the effectiveness of student homework in the learning process. Using WeBWorK, students each receive individualized versions of problems, enabling instructors to encourage students to work together. Additionally, instructors can select different levels and types of questions for the students ranging from routine questions to more advanced interactive questions.The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) is partnering with the developers of WeBWorK to create a permanent supportive home for WeBWorK, thus providing the mathematical sciences community with dependable, long-term access to WeBWorK while at the same time strengthening the on-going maintenance and development. The MAA is providing a hosting service for WeBWorK courses so professors can gain experience with WeBWorK without first having to have it installed at their home institutions. Additionally, WeBWorK is being integrated into more course management systems. The project assessment team is investigating the impact of WeBWorK on student learning and evaluating the efficacy of the project's dissemination efforts. Furthermore, the MAA is expanding research into effective practices for the use of WeBWorK. Training workshops are providing faculty with the tools they need to make effective use of WeBWorK. Presentations and publications are exposing faculty to results from using WeBWorK for improving student learning in college mathematics.
