Math-Bridge: Closing Gaps in European Remedial Mathematics with Technology-Enhanced Learning

Abstract

Math-Bridge is an e-Learning platform for online courses in mathematics.It has been developed as a technology-based educational solution to the problemsof bridging courses taught in European universities. Math-Bridge has a numberof unique features. It provides access to the largest in the World collection ofmultilingual, semantically annotated learning objects (LOs) for remedial mathematics.It models students' knowledge and applies several adaptation techniquesto support more effective learning, including personalized course generation, intelligentproblem solving support and adaptive link annotation. It facilities a directaccess to LOs by means of semantic search. It provides rich functionality forteachers allowing them to manage students, groups and courses, trace students'progress with the reporting tool, create new LOs and assemble new curricula.Math-Bridge offers a complete solution for organizing technology-enhanced learning(TEL) of mathematics on individual-, course- and/or university level.
