Visualizations of Curves, Surfaces, and Vector Fields in Multivariable Calculus
The Calculus in Virtual Reality (CalcVR) app for iOS and Android contains a wealth of content focused on multivariable calculus, covering topics such as 2D Coordinates and Graphs, 3D Coordinates and Graphs, Curves and Surfaces, and Vector Valued Functions. The twist is that the content is set against a backdrop of 360-degree images. Each section contains interactive demos in which students can manipulate the data using a Bluetooth controller or the interaction button on a mobile headset. The focus of CalcVR is on geometric understanding of the concepts and notions prevalent to multivariable calculus. Virtual reality is an ideal environment to explore the geometric meaning of three-dimensional objects encountered in multivariable calculus. Supplemental activities and explorations (Supplemental Materials) help further the understanding of geometric concepts and derive connections between these concepts and algebraic calculations. The CalcVR app is designed to be a tool for outside of class meeting times rather than in a group setting. The Supplemental Materials offer different ways to connect the geometric tools of the CalcVR app to activities and assessments that can be done both in class meetings and outside of class meetings.

Including Students in Your Grant Writing
Cash-strapped teachers know that grants can bring much-needed monies into the classroom to enhance learning experiences and engage students. But teachers often lack the time to prepare and write grant applications. Incorporating the grant application process into your classroom is a viable solution.
Collaboration Strategies That Work Online…
Collaboration online can be daunting, especially when you are tasked with learning how to use new technology tools while at the same time continuing to support student learning, safety and well-being. But there are effective ways to bring some of the more traditional strategies you may be familiar with to the online classroom…
Visualizations of Statistics in Three Dimensions Using Virtual Reality
Data visualization has come a long way from tables and bar graphs to 3D animated graphics in Excel. The next step is to bring data into full 3D using VR (or AR/MR).BROWSE TOPICS
