Smith, Joseph R.; Snapp, Bart; Madar, Savva; Brown, Jonathan R.; Fowler, Jim; Andersen, Maeve; Porter, Christopher D.; Orban, Chris – PRIMUS, 2023
We present a free student-facing tool for creating 3D plots and smartphone-based virtual reality (VR) visualizations for STEM courses. Visualizations are created through an in-browser interface using simple plotting commands. Then QR codes are generated, which can be interpreted with a free smartphone app, requiring only an inexpensive Google…

Cline, Kelly; Zullo, Holly; Duncan, Jonathan; Stewart, Ann; Snipes, Marie – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
We present a study of classroom voting in linear algebra, in which the instructors posed multiple-choice questions to the class and then allowed a few minutes for consideration and small-group discussion. After each student in the class voted on the correct answer using a classroom response system, a set of clickers, the instructor then guided a…

Quesada, Antonio; Einsporn, Richard L.; Wiggins, Muserref – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2008
The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of a graphical teaching and learning approach via the graphing calculator enhances students' understanding of the formal definition of limit. College students in six sections of Calculus I participated by completing a test prior to the introduction of the definition, and completing a second…
