The Coordinated Curriculum Library

这个项目正在创建和维护一个基于网络的交互模块的库，这些模块已经过测试、审查和编辑。通用数学软件的存在，如Maple、Mathcad、Mathca和MatLab，催生了基于交互文本的学习环境的发展。万维网的出现使人们能够创建容易相互链接和与学科数据网站链接的材料，这些材料可以与一系列数学软件一起使用，可以很容易地远程访问，并且很容易更新。这些单元提供了一系列低级师级大学级数学课程以及独立探索和研究的材料。此外，课程中其他学科的数学内容丰富的课程中也提供了相关材料。协调课程库是CALC微积分项目改革努力和为微积分以外的课程创建模块的后续项目的自然产物。这个项目是更大的协调课程项目的一个组成部分，目前涉及来自亚利桑那大学、圣路易斯奥比斯波加州大学保利分校、杜克大学、惠普公司和蒙大拿州立大学的教职员工。最适合于基于网络的材料的格式是将HTML文本与数学上复杂的辅助应用程序相结合--例如Maple、数学等。为了确定模块设计原则应该如何应用于这种环境，项目的一个组成部分是关于学生如何在这种环境中学习的研究。除了将材料放在网上外，还使用在会议、小型课程和研讨会上的演示文稿，将图书馆宣传为基于网络的创新学习材料的来源，这些材料可以放心地使用，并很容易得到补充。

This project is creating and maintaining a library of web-based, interactive modules that have been tested, reviewed, and edited. The existence of general purpose mathematical software, such as Maple, Mathcad, Mathematica, and Matlab, has spawned development of learning environments based on interactive text. The emergence of the World Wide Web enables the creation of materials that are easily linked to each other and to disciplinary data sites, that may be used with a range of mathematical software, that are easily accessible at a distance, and that are easily updated. These modules provide materials for a range of lower division college-level mathematics courses and for independent exploration and study. In addition, materials are available for use in mathematically rich courses in other disciplines across the curriculum. The Coordinated Curriculum Library is a natural outgrowth of Project CALC calculus reform efforts and of a follow-on project to create modules for courses beyond calculus. This project is an integral part of the larger Coordinated Curriculum Project, currently involving faculty from the University of Arizona, Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo, Duke University, Hewlett Packard, and Montana State University. The format most appropriate for web-based materials is a combination of an HTML text with a mathematically sophisticated helper application-- e.g., Maple, Mathematica, etc. To determine how principles of module design should be applied in this setting, an integral component of the project is a study on how students learn in this environment. In addition to putting the materials on the Web, presentations at meetings, minicourses, and workshops, are being used publicize the library as a source for innovative web-based learning materials that can be used with confidence and easily supplemented.
