Learning Content Foundations of vector calculus
Learning Outcomes Knowledge
The adult learners will be able to:

·       …recall the foundations of vector calculus

·       …recall Parameterized Functions

·       …recall Integral modeling functionality

 

Skills
The adult learners will be able to:

·       …manipulate 3D Graphs in a VR environment

·       …tinker with Mathematical Modeling in a VR environment

·       …edit mathematical parameters in a VR environment

 

Competences
The adult learners will be able to:

·       …apply mathematical principals and knowledge more intuitively and confidently

 

Activities provided CalcFlow is built for everyone who wants to better understand the foundations of vector calculus. With the app learners can analyze, visualize, and design vector calculus in an interactive environment.

Further, it allows teams to collaboratively solve problems in real time.

Added value
for low-skilled/-qualified adults
CalcFlow allows you to study and visualize vector calculus in an interactive and accessible environment even for those with minimal skills in the subject. Exploration is much more intuitive (just move your head!) and the perfect depth information that learners perceive feels almost like an additional input channel to the brain.

Context of ideal application

Mathematical and geometry training.

 

Instructions for preparation

It is very important for the positive outcome of the activity to prepare the virtual reality laboratory in advance. Each personal computer with the connected VR viewer must have all the management software (operating system, drivers) updated. The display must be perfectly calibrated.

The Calcflow software will need to be installed as a system administrator and the launcher icon will be available on the desktop. The learner will not in any way be able to change all the system settings.

 

Instructions for mentoring

The instructor should explain the mathematical concept and give a graphic representation of it on the blackboard through a lecture. The instructor will explain how through virtual reality it will be possible to see in 3D what is shown on the blackboard.

During the use of the viewer and the application it will constantly follow the learner in analyzing the mathematical concept.

The adult educator will be able to intervene immediately where there are problems of a technical or learning nature.

The adult educator must have prepared a small guide to explain to the learner all the steps of the activity to be performed with the viewer and the Calcflow software.

At the end of the activity a questionnaire might be useful to assess the activity performed.

 

Do’s and don’ts

Due to small delays (latencies) and small inaccuracies of the gyroscope it is good to move slowly and alternate the virtual immersion activity with pauses by removing the viewer.
