Whereas 'Web 2.0 technology' has pushed the learning agenda towards connectivity and boundary crossing, in the current 'new new media ontology' the fear that algorithms might block our avenues to knowledge and connections prevails. In response to this, media scholars have argued that knowledge based on the algorithmic experiences of users is key…

Computational modelling is widely used in biological science. Therefore, biology students need to learn computational modelling. However, there is a lack of evidence about how to teach computational modelling in biology and what the effects are on student learning. The purpose of this intervention-control study was to investigate how knowledge in…

In our investigation of university students' knowledge about real numbers in relation to computer algebra systems (CAS) and how it could be developed in view of their future activity as teachers, we used a computer algorithm as a case to explore the relationship between CAS and the knowledge of real numbers as decimal representations. Our work was…
