Davis Digital Repository Grant
Get PDFThe HELIN (Higher Education Library Information Network) Consortium, consisting of academic and health sciences libraries in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, has developed a plan to create a digital repository to archive, preserve and make accessible materials to serve the needs of its students and faculty. This grant application outlines the project purpose, methods, costs, and timetable
Digital Repository of Mathematical Formulae
Full text linkThe purpose of the NIST Digital Repository of Mathematical Formulae (DRMF) is
to create a digital compendium of mathematical formulae for orthogonal
polynomials and special functions (OPSF) and of associated mathematical data.
The DRMF addresses needs of working mathematicians, physicists and engineers:
providing a platform for publication and interaction with OPSF formulae on the
web. Using MediaWiki extensions and other existing technology (such as software
and macro collections developed for the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical
Functions), the DRMF acts as an interactive web domain for OPSF formulae.
Whereas Wikipedia and other web authoring tools manifest notions or
descriptions as first class objects, the DRMF does that with mathematical
formulae. See http://gw32.iu.xsede.org/index.php/Main_Page

Enhancing design learning using a digital repository
Get PDFThe process of design is context dependent and open-ended, and therefore does not revolve around a specific body of information or knowledge. The educational paradigm shift in the area of engineering design from teaching to coaching and the increased use of social constructivist learning ideals requires students to have access to as wide a range of information as possible. Digital resources provide an excellent opportunity for extending the range of information available to design students and to this end, as part of a joint research program with Stanford University, the University of Strathclyde has developed a groupware product called LauLima to provide students with a collaborative environment which allows them to gather, organise, store and share information. This paper describes the improvement to design learning, based on a Design Knowledge Framework, in a 3rd year product design engineering project from session 03/04 to 04/05 which has been facilitated by the implementation of this technology
