In Saarbrücken we are developing the web-based, user-adaptive, interactive learning environment ActiveMath. Currently, its major features are user-adapted content, sequencing, and presentation, support of active and explorative learning by mathematical systems, support of teachers by information about their students, and a semantic encoding of content that is the basis for reusability. This art...

This paper deals with evaluating an Interactive Learning Environment during the iterative design process. Various aspects of the system must be assessed and a number of evaluation methods are available. In designing the interactive learning environment AMBRE-add, several techniques were combined to test and refine the system. In particular, we point out the merits of combining measures of the I...

DynaLearn is an Interactive Learning Environment that facilitates a constructive approach to developing a conceptual understanding of how systems work. The software can be put in different interactive modes facilitating alternative learning experiences, and as such provides a toolkit for educational research.

Introduction: Medical undergraduates usually understand and memorize anatomical course material with difficulty. Also, the current text books and atlases of anatomy and histology do not fulfill all the learning needs of the undergraduates. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the role of internet websites and computer programs (i.e. the role of electronic learning) in teaching....

As part of their learning process, students often need to understand and interact with real world processes. Traditional learning activities such as field trips, site visits, videos, visiting speakers and live interviews have been used to achieve this. Because of various practical, legal and political issues, such activities can be difficult or even impossible to organise. E-learning can play a...

The major challenge for developing country like India is that there is a large and diverse population of students and insufficient number of qualified teachers as well as lack of infrastructure for such large population. Distance learning mode has shown a capability to address these concerns, even though a lot of progress taken place in this field, but interactivity is still the major concern i...

The article provides an in-depth analysis of previous literature that led to the understanding of the four interactive components of " e " learning and how we can utilize these components to maximize the positive and minimize the negative results of " e " learning. The four interactive dimensions of " e " learning are the following three originally described in Moore's editorial (1989): (1) int...
