An Interactive Exercise Player for Math-Bridge

Math-Bridge is a European project which aims to provide facilities for bridging the mathematics gap between schools and higher education in Europe. The Open Universiteit Nederland is responsible for the interactive exercise player for Math-Bridge. This paper discusses the various forms interactions can take when solving mathematical exercises, the kind of feedback an exercise player should give according to teachers and developers of learning environments, and how strategies can be used to automatically calculate many of these kinds of feedback. Furthermore, it discusses some of the peculiarities of mathematical exercises that challenge our strategy framework.
