Enhancing and Implementing an Internet-Based System for Mathematics Homework Problems

数学科学（21）该项目增强，实施和传播技术创新的软件应用程序，WebWork。WebWork是一个基于互联网的系统，用于生成和向学生提供家庭作业数学问题，由罗切斯特大学开发，并在其他几所主要大学使用。该项目适应WebWork，以满足特定于该机构的数学内容和人口。它还增强了工具，使其他教师可以轻松地使用它，并可以有助于支持该工具的数据库。该项目的目标是提高本科数学学生的数学素养，增强各种低年级班级家庭作业的教育有效性，改进国家WebWork数据库计划的内容和功能，并率先扩展WebWork整个大学系统和社区高中。该项目扩大了教师的基础，他们可以通过为教师开发额外的软件工具来编写问题，使他们能够在不编写代码的情况下创建在WebWork上使用的数学问题。该项目包括编制WebWork教员指南和网上教学指南，分发给社区的大学和中学教员。最后一项改进是建立一种机制，使教师能够对数据库进行关键词搜索，以便在国家数据库中进行搜索。

Mathematical Sciences (21) This project enhances, implements and disseminates a technologically innovative software application, WeBWorK. WeBWork, an Internet-based system for generating and delivering homework math problems to students, was developed at the University of Rochester and is in use at several other major universities. This project adapts WeBWork to meet mathematics content and populations specific to the institution. It also enhances the tool so that other faculty can use it easily and can contribute to the database that supports the tool. The goals of this project are to improve mathematical literacy for undergraduate math students, to enhance the educational effectiveness of homework in a wide variety of lower division classes, to improve the content and capabilities of the national WeBWorK database program, and to pioneer the extension of WeBWorK throughout the university system and to community high schools. The project broadens the base of faculty who can author problems by developing additional software tools for instructors that will enable them to create mathematical problems to be used on WeBWorK without writing code. The project includes development of WeBWorK instructor's guide and web-based teaching guides for distribution to university and high school faculty members from the community. The final enhancement is development of a mechanism to enable faculty to conduct a keyword search of the database for searches on the national database.
