Web-Conference 3:
Date: June 9, 3-5pm EDT
Presenters: Jason Aubrey, Dick Lane, Gavin LaRose
Resources
Agenda
- Residual problem authoring questions.
- Follow-up on good problem rubric: additional questions and comments.
- Follow-up discussion on NPL: in particular, clarifications on how to search for problems, what data are available about NPL problems, and how this plays out in practice.
- Model course discussion:
- What information we need to include in a model course
- How it should be organized and stored
- How problems that are newly authored for this are managed differently from NPL problems used for the course
- How closely or uniquely tied to a specific textbook a model course is
- How to adapt textbook problems to WeBWorK: what makes a good (or bad) adaptation
- Develop an outline for model course construction (e.g., within a group, how the group can manage the distribution of the work as it's been articulated)
Follow-up
- Model course description wiki pages updated to reflect the discussion
Assignment for web conference 4
- Each problem group works on one assignment for their course, including some problems drawn from the NPL and some written new
- For NPL problems: look for a problem that is essentially the same as one that is in the text that is being used, and also look for a problem that is on the right topic and has the right flavor---e.g., on finding cubic polynomials, or finding the extrema of a one or two parameter family of functions.
- Each problem group works on the wiki/outline/information for their course
Pre-conference
- pre-populate model course wiki page with appropriate information
- start out with a preliminary NPL or WeBWorK wiki structure for model courses: how are the data defining the course, its syllabus, and the homework sets managed
- add to the good problem wiki page(s) information from previous week's work
- pre-populate wiki page(s) giving some information about the NPL
