Hoseana, Jonathan; Stepanus, Oriza; Octora, Elvina – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
As educational systems move from onsite to online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers face the difficulty of designing online examination formats which minimize opportunities for dishonesty. In this paper, we expose our design of such a format: a protected Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing short-answer questions, which was implemented in a…

White, Ronald L.; Myers, Shadana; Earl, Archie W., Sr. – Online Submission, 2008
Many colleges and universities today are faced with the problem of low student academic achievement in math. Some of them are trying to improve student academic achievement through the use of technology. Their proposed solution is to teach children how to use the technological tools available to them and integrate that technology into the…

Education Week, 2010
Much like the shifting landscape in K-12 educational technology, this year's "Technology Counts" issue is changing to address the challenges of covering schools in the digital age. The 2010 report does not issue state report cards or state policy reports. Instead, the report takes a more district- and school-level look at educational…

Evans, Bob – 1981
Three applications of microcomputers in Elementary Algebra instruction are described. The paper first discusses a program developed to help students explore the basic algebraic concept of linearity. Text and illustrations show how students can use the computer to visualize the conceptual relationship of slope and intercept, until they can…

Heck, Andre; Van Gastel, Leendert – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science & Technology, 2006
Lowering the dropout rate of incoming mathematics and science students, and enhancing the provision of mathematics support for freshmen are two important aims of the University of Amsterdam. The approach recently adopted to support first year students is to set up a diagnostic pretest and posttest and use these tests to identify students being at…
