Sangwin, Christopher J.; Naismith, Laura – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2008
We present principles for the design of an online system to support computer algebra enabled questions for use within the teaching and learning of mathematics in higher education. The introduction of a computer algebra system (CAS) into a computer aided assessment (CAA) system affords sophisticated response processing of student provided answers.…
