Katharina Kirsten; Gilbert Greefrath – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2024
Due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, new instructional designs for mathematics courses have recently been developed. Unlike traditional e-learning courses, distance learning via videoconferencing contains more synchronous elements and is therefore more closely related to classroom instruction. Since theories of person-environment fit suggest…
