WaLLiS: a Web-based ILE for Science and Engineering Students Studying Mathematics
Antony Maciocia, Manolis Mavrikis · 2003
This paper, after briefly describing our context and the problems faced by science and engineering students studying mathematics, presents WALLIS, a webbased system that is being developed to address some of these problems. Keeping in mind pedagogy and the development of a learner-centred application, we first describe the iterative methodology which we employed, and theories (such as constructivism and contingent instruction) that influence the system’s design and the feedback it provides. Finally we briefly present some results that the system’s integration provides despite its early stages, and could be particular useful for similar projects.
