At universities, we observe a great range of variation in previous knowledge and decreasing mathematical competences of students -- partly due to less limited qualification rules at universities in Germany. To address the challenges which arise by teaching very heterogeneous student groups we use e-tutorials as an addition to traditional classroom…

This paper explores the use of simulations in virtual reality to teach students the fundamental processes behind retailing and product development. The project described involved one class of students who developed their own clothing lines of "virtual merchandise." A second class of students then "purchased" the wholesale…

The d'Arbeloff Interactive Mathematics Project or d'AIMP is an initiative that seeks to enhance and ultimately transform the teaching and learning of introductory mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A result of this project is a suite of "mathlets," a carefully developed set of dynamic computer applets for use in the…
