e-Learning

The terms “Electronic learning” and “e-Learning” are used to describe situations in which the student and teacher are separated by space or time and where this gap is bridged through the use of online technologies. This is a rapidly changing field which the Network tries to keep pace with through the provision of workshops, articles and dedicated publications.

In mathematics we have a number of particular issues which have yet to be satisfactorily addressed.

How do you include mathematical notation online?

How do you share interactive mathematical diagrams and figures?

MSOR Projects

The Network has sponsored a number of projects which develop specific e-learning activities, for example Java Applets for Pure Mathematics. More details of our projects can be found here. Read more at www.mathstore.ac.uk

Using the Virtual Campus for language learning: A case study in pedagogical and practical approach to using ICT This paper considers the ways in which a learning platform can be used for language classes within the higher education context. The platform, the Virtual Campus, incorporates a number of features and facilities including the use of the multimedia platform for final year French materials, and the discussion lists for second-year students of English as a Foreign Language. In an attempt to explore possible ways in which information and communications technology (ICT) could be used in an innovative manner in the final level French classes, a research project was piloted at the University of Lincoln (formerly the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside) in 2000-2001.

Assessment and independent language learning This handbook looks at assessment methods for independent language learning, particularly the use of the independent language learning portfolio. Items that may be included in the portfolio are listed and some problem areas in portfolio assessment are outlined. Included in the handbook are some case studies of current activity in this field.
