MAA CP C1 Uses of the WWW that Enrich and Promote Learning
Organized by
Marcelle Bessman, Jacksonville University
Marcia Birken, Rochester Institute of Technology
Mary L. Platt, Salem State College
Brian E. Smith, McGill University


This session seeks to highlight uses of the Web and its tools that engage students in the learning process. Tools such as course management systems, digital resources, tutorial systems, and hybrids that combine these functions on the Web can make a difference in student engagement, understanding, and performance. Talks should demonstrate how these technologies are being integrated into the learning process. The session is sponsored by the MAA Committee on Computers in Mathematics Education (CCIME).
