| Name | Affilitation | Phone | Interests | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jason Aubrey | aubreyja@missouri.edu | Department of Mathematics, University of Missouri | developing online software (esp. Java applets for calculus instruction and visualization)
online presentation of math content (e.g., MathML and "better practice" issues) | |
| Kirby Baker | baker@math.ucla.edu | Department of Mathematics, UCLA | Have used web for extras in teaching. | |
| Susan Barton | sbarton@wvutech.edu | Department of Mathematics, WVU Tech, Montgomery, WV | ||
| Andrew Bennett | bennett@math.ksu.edu | Department of Mathematics, Kansas State University | Improving education using online tools--primarily but not exclusively service
courses. Understanding how students work in an online environment | |
| Heidi Burgiel | hburgiel@bridgew.edu | Department of Mathematics, Bridgewater State College, Bridgewater MA | Students using the web for data collection, esp. social justice issues.
Supporting faculty in starting to use the web to disseminate info. Collaborative/community interactions (wiki, message boards, etc.) Distributed research (e.g., TERC) Mathematical Genaeology The Math Forum at Drexel Java WebMath (Robert Miner?) George hart Open Courseware-MIT GNU <- generic open source | |
| Ray E. Collings | rcolling@gpc.edu | Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Georgia Perimeter College, Clarkston, GA | ||
| Doug Ensley | DEEnsley@ship.edu | Shippensburg University | Flash development is major area of interest. I am interested in
pedagogy of technology in math teaching and learning. | |
| Michael Gage | gage@math.rochester.edu | Dept. of Mathematics
University of Rochester | I'm generally interested in projects using the web for mathematics communication. My more specific interest is in projects which are compatible with WeBWorK which is an on-line homework system for mathematics and sciences (http://webwork.maa.org). In particular I've found that much learning material --even active material such as applets or labs -- benefits from being embedded with appropriate directed questions such as those that WeBWorK makes possible. The immediate feedback of online systems increases the potential usefulness of these questions. I'm more interested in pushing the learning process with online homework than in the traditional assessment using gateway quizzes (which WeBWorK can also be used for) but of course the two tasks are inter-related. I am also more interested in using web communication on residential campuses (I'm at the University of Rochester) along side of lectures, workshops and so forth than in true long-distance education -- but again it's advantageous to studying the challenges of these applications of web based software together. | |
| Clyde Greeno | greeno@mathematicsinstitute.org | MALEI Institute, Tulsa Oklahoma | The MALEI Institute is especially interested in how undergraduate mathematics instruction on the web might serve as a catalyst, and as a source of models, for how the nation can improve its mathematics instructional practices in all settings and modes, Kindergarten throughout undergraduate programs | |
| Lydia Hart | LHart@pulaskitech.edu | Pulaski Technical College, North Little Rock, Arkansas | ||
| Russ Herman | hermanr@uncw.edu | Department of Mathematics and Statistics,
Bear Hall, UNC Wilmington, 601 S. College Road, Wilmington, NC, 28401-5970 | have been an active user and proponent of using technology in the classroom for a long time. This includes over a decade as department webmaster, web-enhanced courses, online course development, mobile learning environments, podcasting, dabbling in mathematics in wiki's and blogs, open source mathematics, posted book-style notes, involvement in digital libraries, and more | |
| Corinne Schaeffer | cschaeffer@edinboro.edu | Edinboro University of Pennsylvania | I would be interested in learning more about how mathematics faculty utilize the WEB to enhance teaching and learning at the undergraduate level. At my
institution there is an increasing pressure to develop mathematics courses that can be delivered on-line, and my colleagues and I are looking for best practices from those who have already done such things. | |
