Rhea has many facets, and a single page is certainly not enough to describe them all. But since everybody is busy, here is a quick summary.
Student Contributed Learning Material
One of the core functions of Rhea is to enable students to create and share learning material with other students (and the rest of the world!). There are many different types of learning material, such as:
- Lecture Notes
- Student-led Recitations Notes
- Student-created answers to homework assignments and exams
Here are a few notable pages created by students:
- Learn about Tetris.
- This MA 181 page about Leibniz's slowly converging series led to an REU in mathematics for John Mason and Josh Hunsberger (under the direction of Prof. Steve Bell). See page 14 of the Math Department newsletter) for more details.
- A Program to compute generators that can be used in MA375.
- Look at this cool way to display code here!
- Fascinating exploration of the imaginary number i
- A hilarious disclaimer for a math class
- Travis Safford playing Hail Purdue with Matlab
- How to get through math grad school at Purdue.
Teaching and Learning Initiatives
Rhea is the perfect platform for supporting your teaching and learning initiatives. Here are a few currently going on.
- Alumni Liaisons, Technology Liaisons, Employment Liaisons, etc. Everyone can participate to help Purdue students learn better!
- Writers in residence: select students help others learn as they are learning themselves.
- Peer Legacy: Purdue students sharing reflections about the classes they took with future students
- Collective Table of Formulas All formulas in one place, for quick access anytime!
- Homework peer review system Let students grade each other's homework. Coming soon!
Virtual Poster Sessions
Increase the impact of your posters by creating a virtual poster session on Rhea. It's quick and easy if you already have a pdf file for your posters!
- CSESC 2010 - Computational Sciences and Engineering Student Conference
- Virtual Poster Session for the Vaccine Project
Group Pages
Student groups, special projects, and researh groups can create a Rhea page to coordinate the activities of the group, facilitate communications, and reach out to the Purdue community and beyond. Here are some group pages:
Collectively Created Presentations
With Rhea's wiki, you can work as a group to create a presentation. It is easy to add pictures, videos and hyperlinks, and you can make use of existing Rhea pages to enrich your presentation. When it's time to present, simply open your favorite web browser and present directly from the Rhea website. Here is an example:
Discussion Topics
- Do Purdue Professors do enough to prevent cheating?
- For or against using +/- grades?
- Let's discuss the availability of hw solutions online: Is it ethical to use them? Is it useful to use them? What should Professor's policy be about using them?
