Overview Founded in 1848, the University of Wisconsin-Madison is a leading comprehensive research university, and one of the largest Ph.D.-granting institutions in the United States. Each semester, approximately 300 sophomore and junior engineering students enroll in the Computer Sciences 310 course. Recognizing the need for a new teaching approach, Professors Gregory Moses and John Strikwerda decided to create a solution that would boost student learning and improve teaching methods. In the fall of 2000, Moses and Strikwerda reformed Computer Sciences 310 by replacing traditional lecture hall sessions with online rich-media presentations. The project was funded by the National Science Foundation through the National Partnership for Advanced Computing Infrastructure.
