Abstract
This paper serves as a vehicle for disseminating information and eliciting feedback on a unique and timely pedagogic intervention program. Ultimately, the project is expected to engender and enhance innovative and cooperative learning opportunities for disadvantaged and minority students, particularly African-Americans participating in a DoD funded Science, Mathematics and Engineering (SME) program. The purpose of the project is to provide a support network for year-round after-school learning in Math and Information Technology (IT) in the Richmond, Virginia metropolis. The project which is ongoing, will lead to the implementation of a Web based support network where (i) homework Math and IT projects and assignments are discussed in moderated groups, (ii) students will have the opportunity to review their class work in Math through short self-paced lectures consisting of solutions to sample problems that directly mirror assigned homework, and (iii) students will acquire or enhance their IT skills through directed and self-paced IT courses in computer programming and applications.
