| Abstract Text: | The University of Idaho is developing and delivering web-based university level mathematics and mathematics education courses to dual enrollment high school students, adult learners in technical workplaces, and K-12 mathematics teachers. This paper discusses our approach to content development and delivery, synchronous & asynchronous communications, automated practice and testing, collaborative problem-solving, and related research questions and methodologies in the context of Math 170W, Analytic Geometry & Calculus I. We also discuss the statewide partnership of schools, corporations, and agencies that is the foundation of this enterprise. | ||
