MIT Math CI Space (login required)

The Math-CI Space is an online community where instructors of communication-intensive courses in mathematics can share materials and actively discuss teaching ideas.

Educational Need

[The MIT Math CI Space] can serve as a model for any other group of instructors wishing to share materials, discuss strategies, and open lines of communication both while teaching a course and for posterity.

A suite of Java applets was created for use as lecture demonstrations and homework assignments. The applets can be used directly or in modified form in downstream courses, enhancing transfer.

The basic undergraduate differential equations course at MIT, 18.03, is taken by some 85% of all undergraduates in their freshman or sophomore year. This course faces several challenges common to such courses across the country.

I didn't realize how much they helped until ...trying to think about it later and I remembered the [mathlets] graphs.
