Abstract

In order to effectively design an online elementary mathematics education class, literature was reviewed in the areas of overall visions, constructivism and online learning, uses of online discussion boards, the importance of "hands on" activities, uses of videos for constructing knowledge about children's mathematical understandings. The design of the course included weekly experiences in each of the areas: readings, watching of videos of children doing mathematics, "hands on" activities with virtual manipulatives, online quizzes, direct work with children, and active participation in Discussion Boards. Participants provided considerable feedback for assisting in the refinements of the course, and a time series tracked participants' activity and cumulative grades on a weekly basis.
