Title of
presentation:
A mathematics and science domain e-learning platform IWT based.
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to introduce an innovative e-learning platform customized for mathematics and science domain. Our experience in e-learning field suggests us that in order to offer an high quality support for mathematics and science domain it is not enough offer Web based contents, but it is necessary porting of tools and methods of particular domain in new didactic context. Starting point to realize a domain platform is IWT (Intelligent Web Teacher). IWT is an e-learning platform fully adaptable and extensible be in contents be in services. The platform for mathematics and sciences supplies to the final user a flexible tool for teaching and learning in the field of the mathematics and sciences. To realize such feature we equipped IWT of useful tools for presentation and treatment of data of mathematician-scientific type. First of all we integrated and customized inside the platform power engine for numerical and symbolic calculation: WebMathematica and Simulink/Matlab, the software XpressMP for linear optimization and some mathematical software library: LEDA and NAG. Moreover all the communication channels of IWT between teacher and student (messages, chat, forum etc.) are extended in order to allow editing of formulas with MathML standards or Tex and the visualization of mathematical expressions in symbolic way.
