ActiveMath: A Generic and Adaptive Web-Based Learning Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
ActiveMath is a generic web-based learning system that dynamically generates interactive (mathematical) courses adapted to the student’s goals, preferences, capabilities, and knowledge. The content is represented in an semantic xml-based format. For each user, the appropriate content is retrieved from a knowledge base and the course is generated individually according to pedagogical rules. Then the course is presented to the user via a standard webbrowser. One of the exceptional features of ActiveMath is its integration of stand-alone mathematical service systems. This offers the means for exploratory learning, realistically complex exercises as well as for learning proof methods. The article provides a comprehensive account of the current version of ActiveMath.

ePortfolios in ActiveMath
Existing ePortfolios record the work of a learner and his assessments. The standalone application “workbook” of the web-based and user-adaptive learning environment ActiveMath tries to go beyond that. It aims at supporting explicit learning by providing interaction, construction and reflection opportunities.
متن کاملIntegration of Mathematical Systems into the ActiveMath Learning Environment
In Saarbrücken we are developing the web-based, user-adaptive, interactive learning environment ActiveMath. Currently, its major features are user-adapted content, sequencing, and presentation, support of active and explorative learning by mathematical systems, support of teachers by information about their students, and a semantic encoding of content that is the basis for reusability. This art...
متن کاملSemantic-Aware Components and Services of ACTIVEMATH
ActiveMath is a complex Web-based adaptive learning environment with a number of components and interactive learning tools. The basis for handling semantics of learning content is provided by its semantic (mathematics) content markup which is additionally annotated with educational metadata. Several components, tools, and external services can make use of that content markup, for instance a cou...
متن کاملSemantics for Web-Based Mathematical Education Systems
Web-based user-adaptive learning environments suggest a semantic knowledge representation that can be reused in different contexts. Moreover, if these educational systems employ external service systems for support or for exploratory activities, the semantic representation is a basis for the interoperability of the service systems and for machine-understandable data. ActiveMath is such a learni...
متن کاملGlobal Feedback in ACTIVEMATH
This paper describes the global feedback in ACTIVEMATH, a learning environment for mathematics and beyond. We describe the blackboard-architecture with its components and easily modifiable rules and present the user-adaptive global learning suggestions implemented so far.
