New Pedagogical Models for Instruction in Mathematics

A chapter in Mathematical Modeling, Simulation, Visualization and e-Learning, 2008, pp 361-371 from Springer

Abstract: A computer emporium is a large ensemble of computers accessible to students and faculty, where courses and coursework can be addressed. A model of emporium instruction of mathematics, developed at Virginia Tech, will be described. The model was initially created to deal with instruction under the burden of increased class sizes and increasing demands on faculty time. It has turned out to be an effective pedagogical method with particular advantages for instruction in less developed nations. In this article, we will describe the emporium model: its structure, software development and impact on pedagogy.
