The mode of assessment is one of the most important factors influencing learning. E-assessment usually includes only checking the final answer, thus limiting teacher's ability to check the complete solution, and it does not allow inclusion of math proofs problems that constitute an important part of math content. The e-assessment module of Halomda…

This paper provides some insights into the use of example-generating tasks in the design of a technology-rich learning environment to enhance students' mathematical thinking. The paper reports on an early stage of a design-based research project concerning the design of tasks and associated feedback utilising the affordances provided by a combined…

The use of "MapleTA"[R] in the assessment of engineering mathematics at Liverpool John Moores University (JMU) is discussed with particular reference to the design of questions. Key aspects in the formulation and coding of questions are considered. Problems associated with the submission of symbolic answers, the use of randomly generated numbers…
