ΠΑΝΕΠΙΣΤΗΜΙΟ ΚΥΠΡΟΥ TΜΗΜΑ ΜΑΘΗΜΑΤΙΚΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΣΤΑΤΙΣΤΙΚΗΣ ΔΙΑΛΕΞΗ Το Τμήμα Μαθηματικών και Στατιστικής του Πανεπιστημίου Κύπρου στα πλαίσια του κύκλου σεμιναρίων του, διοργανώνει διάλεξη με ομιλητή τον Νικόλα Χρίστου Department of Statistics, UCLA με θέμα “ Demonstration and Assessment of the Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR)” Αbstract Many modern approaches to enhancing liberal and science college education significantly rely on the availability and utilization of multimedia, networking, web, interactive, computational and visualization technologies. This recent paradigm shift to technology-based instruction is driven in part by the rapid advancement of technology, the proliferation of the Internet in all aspects of life and the intrinsic demand for the integration of information technology with classical pedagogical instruments. The NSF-funded (National Science Foundation) Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR) provides a number of interactive tools to enhance instruction in various undergraduate and graduate courses in probability and statistics. SOCR tools and resources include a repository of interactive applets, computational and graphing tools. The wide range capabilities of SOCR will be presented through demonstrations of distributions, experiments, and games. The effectiveness of these computational and simulation applets had been assessed through a semi-experimental study in three courses at the UCLA Department of Statistics. And the findings show promising results of the partnership between instruction and technology. Η διάλεξη θα πραγματοποιηθεί την Tετάρτη, 14 Ιουνίου 2006 και ώρα 11:00-12:00 στην αίθουσα σεμιναρίων 039 στην Πανεπιστημιούπολη (κτίριο 12). H διάλεξη είναι ανοιχτή στο κοινό. /ΑΣΘ ΠΑΝΕΠΙΣΤΗΜΙΟ ΚΥΠΡΟΥ /ΑΣΘ
