| Target audience: |
Faculty in the mathematical sciences.
Graduate students
preparing for a career that involves teaching in the mathematical sciences. |
|
| Objectives: | Become familiar with available resources: physical resources at ASU, software, and ready-to-use courseware. Recognize the many different uses and purposes that computer technology may serve throughout all courses at all levels. Learn to avoid pitfalls. | |
| Format: | The seminar provides model examples for diverse uses of technology in a variety of courses from calculus to higher levels, presented by national experts and by ASU faculty. Held in a computerized classroom most meetings will be hands-on events. | |
This is a tentative schedule subject to changes. Refer to the AGORA and to the continuously updated Webpage http://math.la.asu.edu/~kawski/classes/fall98/mat591/calendar.html.
