LEARNING DESIGN FOR COLLABORATIVE COURSES IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION: INTEGRATING DYNAMIC MATHEMATICS SYSTEMS WITHIN LEARNING ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Journal Title: Journal of Science And Arts - Year 2010, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
This study emphasizes the role of integrating Dynamic Mathematics Systems (DMS) within the context of learning design based systems for the design of appropriate collaborative blended courses in mathematics education. To this end, a learning environment was formed using an integration of the following well known two pieces of free open source software (FOSS), namely: (a) the Geogebra (www.geogebra.org), DMS environment and (b) the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS; [1]). In fact, this study suggests that integration of FOSS such as LAMS and Geogebra -at the same time promoting collaboration among students using specific design patterns- could provide a fruitful environment for the learning of various mathematical concepts. To clarify the features of this learning environment, a specific example regarding with the design of a sequence of collaborative learning activities for the learning of the geometrical concept of angle is presented
