Independent Interactive Inquiry-Based Learning Modules Using Audio-Visual Instruction In Statistics

Learning About ODEs Using Interactive Online Modules

This paper discusses the development and implementation of a set of online teaching and learning modules for the modeling and solution of simple linear Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). The paper describes how constructivist principles are used in the development of these modules and how in-built assessment has been used to enhance student learning. A discussion of the module structure is...

Audio/Visual Independent Components

This paper presents a methodology for extracting meaningful audio/visual features from video streams. We propose a statistical method that does not distinguish between the auditory and visual data, but one that operates on a fused data set. By doing so we discover audio/visual features that correspond to events depicted in the stream. Using these features, we can obtain a segmentation of the in...

Teacher Perceptions of Inquiry-Based Instruction vs. Teacher-Based Instruction

This applied research was designed to analyze the effectiveness of inquiry-based instruction as compared to teacher-directed instruction in 5th-grade mathematics and science courses at the subject school. The subject school modified mathematics and science curriculum for 3 years and became an Alabama Math, Science, and Technology (AMSTI) [2009] school. AMSTI provided extensive professional deve...

Generative Audio - Visual Interactive Artworks

The paper discusses developments in linear generative audio-visual art and shows how these have been extended into interactive art systems. The idea of integrating sound and vision in art goes back at least to the early 1700s with Louis-Bertrand Caste’s ‘Colour Organ’ In the work described here, the idea is to operate with structures that can mediate between sound and vision, so that a unified ...
