Homework

Each lesson will be broken up similar to a text book, with different levels of detail on each topic. This is important because the first level would be the basic knowledge of the subject and by mousing over sections, questions that a user might have about the subject can be clicked to gain further detail or derivations of an equation. Important to the academic integrity of the information presented would be a full reference to where the information was first discovered. A student could choose to do as much or as little work on a subject based on his or her previous knowledge or understanding of the subject. Another important feature would be a (flash?) presentation by a professor on the subject, where he/she would have an audio explanation of the subject while drawing on a sketchpad like system. This will be discussed more later. It is envisioned that there would be multiple presentations that are rated by the users with the option of leaving comments or marking it for having something incorrect within it. Students would also be able to mark sections of text and as a question so that the feedback could go back to the professor, so he/she knew to cover that in more depth in the lecture. It would also go back to the community and could be used for statistical analysis to determine what needs to be elaborated on.
