Mathematical Sciences (21) The objective of the proposal is to enhance the learning process for students in Introductory Statistics and Calculus Based Statistics by adapting and implementing several types of pedagogical methods including ActivStats developed by P. Velleman and applets on the internet developed at the University of South Carolina. To implement the project a 32-student classroom was created which included an overhead projection unit and a smart board. The classroom enables multiple types of learning experiences and provides the technology for access to and analysis of real data. The smart board allows the instructor to edit any output coming from the projector as well as provide notes that are stored. The board also allows the instructor to retrieve notes as needed. Also, students work collaboratively and use real application. Hence, they become properly equipped for experiences beyond the classroom. Another important aspect of the project is the ability of the students to communicate their ideas. This is addressed by assigning and emphasizing writing assignments. Using more active learning approaches with real data from many disciplines enables statistics students to better understand concepts and be able to apply them to their fields of study and personal lives. Also, from the writing assignments students gain technical writing experiences and skills.The proposal directly addresses the themes of enhanced student learning, faculty development and integration of technology into education.

数学科学（21）该提案的目的是通过调整和实施几种类型的教学方法来增强学生在入门统计和基于微积分的统计学中的学习过程，包括P. Velleman开发的ActivStats和South Carolina大学开发的Internet上开发的ActivStats。为了实施该项目，创建了一个32个学生的教室，其中包括一个高架投影单元和一个智能板。教室可以实现多种类型的学习体验，并提供了访问和分析真实数据的技术。智能板允许讲师编辑来自投影仪的任何输出，并提供存储的注释。董事会还允许讲师根据需要检索笔记。此外，学生进行协作工作并使用实际应用。因此，他们为课堂以外的经验提供了适当的装备。该项目的另一个重要方面是学生传达思想的能力。这是通过分配和强调写作作业来解决的。使用来自许多学科的实际数据进行更积极的学习方法，使学生能够更好地理解概念，并能够将其应用于他们的学习和个人生活领域。此外，从写作作业中，学生获得了技术写作经验和技能。该提案直接介绍了增强的学生学习，教师发展和技术整合到教育中的主题。
