Presentation Transcript

  1. Show and Tell – A work in Progress Mark Lucas, Ohio University Ray Batchelor, Simon Frazier University Robley Light, Florida State University

  2. Goal • Design a region in resource space as a destination for new and advanced users to find coding examples and ideas • Create small html files that provide lists of “pockets” of materials by discipline • Create sequences that reference a variety of open source problems that can be used as coding examples • Create un-refereed lists of problems that people like – “Favorites” lists

  3. Design • Created as a separate Domain – Showntell • “authors” are various topical areas, allowing co-author privileges to sets of discipline specific users as maintainers • Using resource browser is a little bit awkward, but allows immediate viewing of source of problems using “Source Available” option

  4. Suggested Topics for Basic Sample Problems • Radiobutton Response (one of M) • Optionresponse with and without concept groups • Numerical Response • Essay Response • String response • Ranking Response • Matching Response • Including Images • Imageclick • Exam Upload

  5. Suggested Topics for Advanced Sample Problems • Formatting numbers • Formatting formulas • Laying out a problem in creative ways (answer boxes embedded in text, aligning/centering, …) • Multipart problems • Multipart problems with hidden parts • More Gnuplot examples • Problems based on entered student data • Problems using library files • Using Applets with randomization • Examples that change wording • Advanced Formula Response • Use of Style sheets • Interfacing to other Apps - Excel, Java, Flash, … • Using sound files

  6. Caveats • Want to make area fairly maintainable. None of us wants to be constantly updating material here. • Ordering of elements awkward and directory structures very permanent. • Need to be careful in initial organization to avoid painful reorganization later

  7. Any Suggestions? • Looking for sample problems with good quality code • Looking for volunteers to maintain discipline-specific areas

  8. Feedback Questions Mark Lucas, Ohio University

  9. Problem • Want to provide convenient and efficient forum for asking questions for quiz review • Want these automatically graded (extra credit)

  10. Solution • Post a stringresponse question with a textarea instead of a textbox • Grade correct as anything but white space • Set answer date off long enough they think you actually grade these (which you can if you want) • Gather responses using STATS
