Project Description
The fifth iteration of CDI took place in 2001. Three grants were awarded. A description of each project is detailed below.
Computing and Decision Sciences, Stillman School of Business: The purpose of the project is to develop an interactive learning environment in the domain of statistics. The proposed multimedia project will allow students to actively explore statistical problem solving in a realistic context. The domain of statistics was chosen for a variety of reasons:
- statistics is a common (and typically required) course across many disciplines and levels,
- it's a difficult (and unpleasant) subject for many people, and
- it requires a variety of skills, both conceptual as well as procedural.
Biology and the Undergraduate Nursing Department: The purpose of this CDI is to develop case studies of clients with complex health problems and place them on CD-ROM.
Writing-Intensive Courses: An Interdisciplinary Approach: The aim of this Writing-Intensive Interdisciplinary Project proposal is twofold: to increase the amount of writing students do in their classes and thereby improve the quality of that writing; and to provide instructors who want to incorporate writing into the curriculum with materials, training, and a support system. This project is designed to increase the amount and kinds of writing students do in courses other than English.
