‘life Wasn’t Meant to Be Easy’: Separating Wheat from Chaff in Technology Aided Learning?
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper commences by reviewing some of the issues currently being raised with respect to the use of technology in undergraduate mathematics teaching and learning. Selected material from three research projects is used to address a series of questions. The questions relate to the use of symbolic manipulators in tertiary mathematics, to undergraduate student attitudes towards the use of computers in learning mathematics, and to outcomes of using technology in collaborative student activity in pre-university classrooms. Results suggest that teaching demands are increased rather than decreased by the use of technology, that attitudes to mathematics and to computers occupy different dimensions, and that students adopt different preferences in the way they utilise available resources. These outcomes are reflected back on the literature, and implications for teaching, learning, and research discussed.

Everyone in the academic community is today confronted with an unprecedented problem. One click of the mouse can provide a student with enough source material to construct a doctoral thesis. Thus, the problem is no longer to locate the relevant material; today the difficulty is in separating the wheat from the chaff, or a more apt analogy, finding the few gold nuggets in the mountains of dross....

Computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is an essential component in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Operation sequencing in CAPP is an essential activity. Each sequence of production operations which is produced in a process plan cannot be the best possible sequence every time in a changing production environment. As the complexity of the product incr...
