Tuesday, May 24, 2005 -- 3:00 - 3:30 pm
Archive of "Simulation Gaming Software: The Next Step in Case Studies?"
Presenter: Oscar Oberkircher, Lecturer, Human Ecology, SUNY Oneonta
Written case studies are often used to develop information integration and application among students. Their usefulness is limited because they do not offer the realism of a dynamic, interdependent environment. Computer simulation software offers problem-based learning opportunities within an interactive environment and may be the next step in case studies.
NOTE: Due to the extensive graphics of the gaming software, the video display will appear choppy and out of sync with the presenters audio.
Wednesday, May 25, 2005 -- 4:15 - 4:45 pm
Archive of "Teaching Statistics Online"
Presenter: Don Coscia, Professor, Mathematics, Suffolk County Community College and The School of Professional Development, Stony Brook
The methods used to teach a successful asynchronous introductory graduate statistics course will be shared. Student assessment, a virtual classroom atmosphere and other tools will be reviewed. Additionally, student reactions to the approach will be given as well as a lively discussion of online learning in a mathematics course.
Thursday, May 26, 2005 -- 9:45 - 10:15 am
Archive of "Open Learning, Open Source: An Industry Point of View"
Presenter: Patrick Masson, Director of Technology Projects, SUNY Learning Environments and Patrick Carey, IBM
