The Use of Instructional Technology to Address Different Student Learning Styles

工程-化学（53）我们开发了用于化学反应工程教学的交互式混合课程材料。我们的材料包括教科书、光盘以及互联网上的网站。在过去的两年里，密歇根大学对这种混合动力的原型进行了评估。通过使用交互式计算机模块（ICM），我们支持不同学生学习风格的学生。这些学习风格在费尔德/所罗门清单中有概述，我们设计了我们的材料，以解决这些问题的一些不同的方式。我们创建的模拟是围绕各种化学反应。这些模拟模拟复杂的问题，允许学生改变关键参数，并评估他们的结果，以补充家庭作业，课堂讲座和学生学习小组。这些问题旨在提高学生的批判性思维和解决问题的能力。将使用Quest 2.0中更新的创作软件Quest 10以及FEMLAB来升级我们现有的模块。我们的原创材料在化学工程界获得了广泛的受众。我们正在通过两本教科书、通过该高速缓存公司分发给每个化学工程系的CD-ROM和互联网传播我们的新材料。

Engineering-Chemical(53)We have developed interactive hybrid curriculum materials for teaching chemical reaction engineering. Our materials consists of textbooks, a CDROM, as well as a web site on the Internet. A prototype of this hybrid has been evaluated over the past two years at the University of Michigan. Through the use of interactive computer modules (ICM) we are supporting students with different student learning styles. These learning styles are outlined in the Felder/Solomon Inventory and we have designed our materials to address these in a number of different ways. The simulations we have created are around various chemical reactions. These simulations model complex problems that allow students to alter key parameters and evaluate their results to complement homework assignments, classroom lectures, and student study groups. These problems have been designed to enhance student critical thinking and problem solving skills. Updated authoring software Quest 10 from Quest 2.0 will be utilized as well as FEMLAB to upgrade our existing modules. Our original materials have gained a wide audience in the Chemical Engineering community. We are disseminating our new material through two textbooks, our CDROM that is being distributed to every chemical engineering department through the CACHE Corporation, and the Internet.
