创建,自动化,并在介绍统计和数学类在线作业评估

Creating, Automating, and Assessing Online Homework in Introductory Statistics and Mathematics Classes

Karen Santoro, Roger Bilisoly

摘要:

虽然教科书出版商提供课程管理系统,但他们这样做是为了提高品牌忠诚度,虽然像WebWork这样的开源工具很有前途,但它需要管理和IT的支持。因此,在教育部大学入学挑战补助金的部分支持下,我们与其他教师合作,为三个班级创建在线作业集:初级代数,中级代数和行为科学统计I。经过实验,其中一些问题池现在由Mathematica程序创建,这些程序可以从指定的分布生成数据集,生成以给定方式分解的随机多项式,创建直方图,散点图等的图像文件。这些程序产生的文件可以被软件包Respondus读取,然后将问题上传到Blackboard Learn,这是康涅狄格州立大学系统使用的课程管理系统。最后,我们总结了五类学生的表现数据,以及在这个项目上工作时学到的经验教训。

英文摘要:

Although textbook publishers offer course management systems, they do so to promote brand loyalty, and while an open source tool such as WeBWorK is promising, it requires administrative and IT buy-in. So supported in part by a College Access Challenge Grant from the Department of Education, we collaborated with other instructors to create online homework sets for three classes: Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and Statistics for Behavioral Sciences I. After experimentation, some of these question pools are now created by Mathematica programs that can generate data sets from specified distributions, generate random polynomials that factor in a given way, create image files of histograms, scatterplots, and so forth. These programs produce files that can be read by the software package, Respondus, which then uploads the questions into Blackboard Learn, the course management system used by the Connecticut State University system. Finally, we summarize five classes worth of student performance data along with lessons learned while working on this project.
