WebMath: Web-based Differential Equations

[DGoral at aol.com]

Stuart,

I am currently teaching Differential Equations (MTH 291) online through the 
Extended Learning Institute of Northern Virginia Community College.

I am using the same technology in my other web-based courses: Mathematics for 
the Liberal Arts I-II (MTH 151-152), and Vector Calculus (MTH 277).

I use Dreamweaver 3 to compose my web pages, though I started with Netscape 
Composer and Microsoft Front Page.

Basically, I post math material on my website using either MathType 4 or 
Scientific Notebbook. I communicate with my students by having them purchase 
Scientific Notebook.

I first put MTH 151 on the web, then MTH 152, and then MTH 277 and MTH 291, 
so you can see some evolution in my web design. I still have to add more 
content to my advanced course websites.

You can visit my website and then ask more questions.

Overall, I enjoy teaching online. I have over 100 online students each 
semester, and they keep me busy.

<<  I am hoping to use the Web to present material and support for 
 an introductory Differential Equations course. Searching the Internet,
 I have found innumerable papers and articles concerning different people's
 attitudes to Web-based teaching, but very few examples of online courses.
 
    I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has attempted this - 
 and the successes / difficulties that you have found (both from an 
 educational and a technological point of view). Please e-mail me personally 
 if you would like to know more specific details about my intentions for 
 this project.
 
    Furthermore, has anyone tried IBM's techexplorer plug-in? I would
 like to hear views on that.
 
 Thanks,
    Stuart Price
