Multimedia Based Calculus with e-folios

数学科学(21)这个概念验证项目正在开发一门微积分入门课程的多媒体和传统教材的结合。它还将把目前学生档案袋的做法扩展到微积分I中的电子档案袋(或电子对开本)，并用于介绍学生的数学研究。在多媒体编程与设计和微积分改革的成功项目的基础上，计算机信息系统和数学系正在合作制作利用多媒体演示方法的材料，开发一套结合多媒体技术来增强微积分I的教育材料。这些材料使用三维可视化、动画和动态问题解决等技术来促进学生对复杂主题的理解。活动包括产品设计会议和培训讲习班，以促进编写将在网上发布的教育材料。这些材料包括电子课堂笔记、实验室手册、研究问题集教师指南和各种练习，以及带有适当信息来源链接的评估工具和软件工具，使学生能够通过动手解决问题的方法进行学习。该项目通过促进将多媒体技术整合到学生研究项目中来扩展这种创新的学习模式。学生们被介绍到多媒体技术，并可以通过接触课堂上介绍的教育材料和演示技术来编写他们的电子对开本并在万维网上发布他们的发现。这反过来又为学生提供了多媒体和万维网方面的知识和经验，这两个行业目前正在经历对熟练工人的巨大需求。

Mathematical Sciences (21)This proof-of-concept project is developing a combination of multimedia-based and traditional educational materials for an Introductory Calculus course. It is also extending the current practice of student portfolios into electronic portfolios (or e-folios) in Calculus I, and for presentation of student mathematics research. Building on the successful programs of Multimedia Programming and Design and Calculus Reform, the Computer Information System and Mathematics Departments are collaborating to produce materials that utilize multimedia presentation methods to develop a set of educational materials that integrate multimedia technology for enhancing Calculus I. These materials use techniques such as three-dimensional visualization, animation, and dynamic problem solving to facilitate students' comprehension of complex topics. Activities include product design sessions and training workshops to facilitate the creation of educational materials to be published on the web. These materials include electronic class notes, laboratory manuals, research problem sets instructors' guide and various exercises, and assessment tools with links to appropriate sources of information and software tools and that enable students to learn through a hands-on problem solving approach. This project extends this innovative learning model by facilitating the integration of Multimedia technology into Student Research Projects. The students are being introduced to Multimedia Technology and can author their e-folios and publish their findings on the World Wide Web through exposure to the educational material and presentation techniques introduced in the classroom. This in turn provides students with knowledge and experience in Multimedia and World Wide Web, industries which are currently experiencing a tremendous demand for skilled workers.
