Towards a European Net Campus for Industrial Mathematics Matti Heilio Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland ECMI 2004
Interactive environments and online education • evolution of educational materials • from textbook to interactive cross media learning environments • challenge in educational research • new paradigm of learning processes
Upper hand of the web • easy access and portability • flexible updates, dynamic edition • benefits of multi/hypermedia • links, references, help/find facilities, quiz-structures, pedagogic checkpoints, animations, interactive exercises • remote lectures, videoconference etc
Tomorrow’s textbook • cross media combining printed text, CD/DVD/video and a web-environment • university-publishing industry collaboration needed • a product renewing itself dynamically • web section is close to the real-time activities in research laboratory
Industrial mathematics & web • small nodes of excellence • pooling of special expertise • distributed multicampus audience • industrial R&D personnel as users • special topics • new emerging themes
Virtual communities • network access and flexible media tools make it possible to create a net community - multicampus audience • the use of distributed knowledge base of experts in teaching and consulting • specialized course themes • tailored courses for special sectors
European eLearn initiative? • European Netcampus on Industrial Mathematics • menu of professional level courses • current eLearning technologies • access to integrated library of software • adequate network support
Features • development of software for publishing interactive web-documents • remote access tests/development of proto-level mathematical software • pilot study on production model • collaboration with ePublishing industry
The goal, a vision • 10-20 universities • other partners? • 20-30 course environments • 1-3 per producer unit • topics in modelling, numerics and scientific computing • revision and support plan for 5 years
Long term scenario • R&D units and SME research engineers seen as users/clients • repository of courses, training environment, tools to assist in R&D-processes • Model A. Subcription based access • Model B. Agreement with a publisher involved in e-publishing.
Jonas Mockus: Graduate Studies and Research Collaboration in the web • Theory, Software and Applications • Home Work Guide • Personal Videoconferencing • Prof Jonas Mockus, Kaunas • http://soften.ktu.lt/~mockus/
Topics • A Set of Examples of Global Optimization • A set of Examples of Discrete Optimization, Dynamic Programming, and Linear Programming • A Set of Optimization Software Systems
Video-conferencing • An example of video-conferencing • Broadcating from Kaunas • Receiving in Vilnius Technical University
School Scheduling • Optimizing Profiled School Shedule • An example of Bayesian Heuristic Approach
Optimal Packing • 3D-packer • An example of optimal packing by heuristics
