Hybrid Online Face-to-face Courses: a Sociological analysis
World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education (ELEARN) 2004:1 , 2004

Glenn Smith & Hermann Kurthen, Stony Brook University, USA

Hybrid online face-to-face courses have grown steadily the last five years. "Hybrid" courses are face-to-face courses where thirty per cent or more of class work uses the Web (Marold, 2002). Hybrid courses are less researched than fully online...

Learning math problem-solving in online courses
World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education (ELEARN) 2004:1 , 2004

Glenn Smith, David Ferguson & Edwin Tjoe, Stony Brook University, USA

How can students learn problem-solving in online courses? Learning to problem-solve is critical to undergraduate college students' mastery of mathematics. In traditional face-to-face courses, the instructor can model problem-solving by working...

How Interactivity Works: priming of mental rotation

World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications (EDMEDIA) 2004:1 , 2004

Rong Su & Glenn Smith, Stony Brook University, USA

Volume rendering gives users the flexibility of exploring 3D datasets inside and out and provides very comprehensive understanding of three dimensional datasets, in contrast to with the surface-only rendering of traditional computer graphics. In...

The quiet revolution: Hybrid online Face-to-face courses in Micro-Sociological Perspective
World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications (EDMEDIA) 2004:1 , 2004

Glenn Smith & Hermann Kurthen, Stony Brook University, USA

Hybrid online face-to-face courses have grown steadily in the last five years. "Hybrid" courses are face-to-face courses where thirty per cent or more of the class work uses the Web (Marold, 2002). Hybrid courses are less researched than fully...

Distance calculus students’ understanding of derivative
World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications (EDMEDIA) 2003:1 , 2003

Glenn Smith, David Ferguson & Sumita Gupta, Stony Brook University, USA

In distance college level calculus courses using the new math-oriented tools supporting formulas, diagrams and graphs for two-way communication, how do how students' understanding of derivative compare with their face-to-face counterparts? Several...

LEAP BEFORE YOU LOOK: interact then mentally rotate: spatial skills
World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications (EDMEDIA) 2003:1 , 2003

Glenn Smith, State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA; Sinan Olkun, Abant Izzet Baysal University, Turkey

Does interaction with shapes help build internal spatial representations? This has implications for science, math, engineering and other fields. This study tested the hypothesis that interactive manipulation of a shape improves mental rotation....
