Minicourse #6: "Workshop mathematics: using new pedagogy and technology in introductory courses"
Organized by Nancy Baxter Hastings and Allan Rossman, Dickinson College.

Participants in this minicourse will receive an in-depth look at the "workshop" pedagogical approach and its underlying research activities. They will work in small groups with sample workshop materials taken from courses in quantitative reasoning, statistics with applications, and calculus with review I & II. Participants will use a variety of software packages, including a motion detector for the collection and display of data in real time, the mathematical programming language ISETL, and the statistical package {\it Minitab}. Issues concerning designing and implementing workshop materials and implementing the approach will be discussed. No previous computer experience is necessary.
