Engineering - Other (59)The project, a collaboration among University of South Florida, Old Dominion University and Arizona State University, is developing state-of-the-art prototype web-based learning tools for open courseware in undergraduate numerical methods courses. These tools include game based simulations, a virtual tireless internet instructor, endless self-assessment tests, and audio-based Flash/PowerPoint presentations. In this pilot project, these tools are being developed for one topic (simultaneous linear equations). They are enhancing student learning by using simulations to improve the classroom and self-learning experience, personalizing learning via the internet instructor, self-assessing the level of learning via multiple-choice questions tests, and providing multiple contexts for understanding the same material. The evaluation effort includes formative and summative aspects using instruments to measure content knowledge and skills, attitude surveys for students and faculty members, student focus groups, and faculty member interviews. Instructional material and results are being disseminated through website postings, through presentations at the ASEE and FIE conferences, and through journal articles. Broader impacts include the collaboration of the three universities and the dissemination of the instructional material.

工程 - 其他（59）该项目是南佛罗里达大学，旧自治领大学和亚利桑那州立大学之间的合作，正在开发最先进的基于Web的原型学习工具，用于在本科数字方法课程中开放课程的开放课程。这些工具包括基于游戏的模拟，虚拟不懈的互联网讲师，无尽的自我评估测试以及基于音频的闪光/PowerPoint演示文稿。在这个试点项目中，这些工具是针对一个主题（同时线性方程式）开发的。 他们通过使用模拟来改善课堂和自学体验，通过互联网讲师个性化学习，通过多项选择问题测试来自我评估学习水平，并提供多种背景来理解相同材料，从而增强了学生的学习水平。评估工作包括使用工具来衡量内容知识和技能的形成性和总结性方面，对学生和教职员工的态度调查，学生焦点小组以及教职员工访谈。 教学材料和结果通过网站发布，通过ASEE和FIE会议的演示以及期刊文章传播。 更广泛的影响包括三所大学的合作以及教学材料的传播。
