APPLIED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (AST):
Providing a strong foundation in mathematics, science, technology and communicationhttp://www.senecac.on.ca/fulltime/AST.html
FOUNDATIONS FOR TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS (FTM)
College Mathematics Project (CMP) http://collegemathproject.senecac.on.ca/cmp/en/index.php
Teaching collaborative/Technology integration Student-centered learning community
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION 2008/2010:
Two wireless/Mobile Tablet PC labs DyKnow Vision software
AST Math/Science:
1) Engagement and retention of students
2) Enhancing learning and concept application
3) Demonstration of teaching strategy to other educators
Foundations of Technical Mathematics:
4) Effectiveness in a larger class size
5) Reproducibility
PEN-BASED COMPUTING (TABLET PC):
Stylus input – like pencil on paper (no typing)
Annotations focus learners on key concepts
Visual learners can diagram ideas
Notes saved and accessed anytime/anywhere
SYNCHRONOUS COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACE
STUDENT TO STUDENT TEACHING MOMENTS:
Features of DyKnow software: Share control Group work Submit panels Polling
STUDENTS COLLABORATING/TEACHING:
STUDENTS WORKING IN GROUPS:
STUDENTS SUBMITTING PANELS:
CREATING RESOURCES FOR HYBRID TEACHING:
In hybrid mode: Less face-to-face class time Necessary to cover content outside of class time
The solution is to screencast!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvKu2T9Kovo
INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPED SCREENCASTS:
CONS Time required to
produce Teaching style the
same (videos are copies of lessons)
Passive (not active) learning
PROS Students choose
when/where/how often learning occurs
Capitalize on ‘out of class time’ learning
Provides review for exams/tests/quizzes
STUDENT DEVELOPED MATHCASTS!!
CONNECTING COLLEGE TO CAREER (C^3):
Goal:
To develop a categorized library of mathematics and application videos (AODA compliant) produced by and for students
“This initiative has received funding through the Seneca Pillar Sponsorship program and the generous support of Johnson Insurance Inc.”
3
FEATURES:
all levels and disciplines of mathematics
students, tutors, Learning Centre staff, alumni, faculty, industry professionals and administration
application of fundamental mathematics concepts used in daily work situations
initiate connections and stimulate discussion
