Different Ways to Use Rhea

As a course wiki

  • many different ways to use:
    • free-form, with bonus points for contributions
    • student-led recitation sessions documented on course wiki
    • double blind peer review of homework or course projects
    • Etc.
  • Enables cross-courses discussions
  • Used by instructors too
    • Find out what students learn in other classes - less redundancy
    • Uniformize notations
    • Use examples from other classes to illustrate material
  • Convenient dropbox for electronic homework collection
  • Connects course to the real world
    • Extra material posted on course wiki

For independent study

  • Writing helps learning
  • Examples
    • student interested in linear algebra building wikipedia-like pages
    • student studying for prelims building material summary pages and discussing problems.

For campus Groups and associations

  • Informal setting
  • real time update from anywhere by anyone
  • Examples
    • CNSIP research area page.
  • A page "for and by" graduate students in mathematics

For discussions

  • campus-wide or within a course
  • very popular feature
  • Examples
    • Discussion on +/- grading system
    • discussion on using online homework solutions
    • discussion about rescheduling exam in ECE438

For peer networking and mentoring

  • older students can comment on course wikis of classes taken earlier
  • Students invite to contribute to "Peer Legacy" section of each course they have taken.

For students to promote themselves

  • Students contributions can lead to job or research experience
    • Example: collective page on slowly converging sum led to REU for two students.
  • User profile can be used to promote as student's achievements
    • Example 1: user profile used to highlight a student athletic achievement
    • Example 2: user profile used to highlitht techniocal skills and accomplishments

Et cetera!
