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、奥道明大学和亚利桑那州立大学之间的合作项目，正在开发最先进的原型网络学习工具，用于本科数值方法课程的开放课件。这些工具包括基于游戏的模拟、不知疲倦的虚拟互联网讲师、无休止的自我评估测试以及基于音频的 Flash/PowerPoint 演示。在这个试点项目中，这些工具是针对一个主题（联立线性方程）开发的。 他们通过使用模拟来改善课堂和自学体验、通过互联网教师进行个性化学习、通过多项选择题测试自我评估学习水平以及提供多种背景来理解同一材料，从而增强学生的学习。评估工作包括形成性和总结性方面，使用工具来衡量内容知识和技能、学生和教师的态度调查、学生焦点小组和教师访谈。 教学材料和结果通过网站发布、ASEE 和 FIE 会议上的演讲以及期刊文章进行传播。 更广泛的影响包括三所大学的合作和教学材料的传播。
