New Patterns of Interaction in Internet-Based Mathematics

互联网的最新发展和专门设计的课程通信软件结合在一起，使学生和教师之间以及学生之间的互动成为可能。在布朗大学，针对大一新生的多变量微积分课程和面向所有年级学生的第四维度学科间入门课程中，校长调查员和他的学生伙伴已经开始建立结构，允许更大范围的学生做出反应，鼓励那些通常在常规计时考试、紧张的课堂或小组讨论中表现不佳的学生更深层次地参与。

At Brown University, in a multivariable calculus course for freshmen and an introductory interdisplinary course on the Fourth Dimension for students at all levels, the Principle Investigator and his student associates have begun to develop structures that allow for an expanded range of student response, encouraging deeper levels of participation from students who ordinarily do not do well in conventional timed examinations or in intense classroom or small group discussion.
