MUMIE: Some Wants and Musts
Poor eater ideology still looms in the background, but today‘s
students:
... want to be actors in the learning process.
... want to be respected as individuals even if the
course is large.
Graduates must ...
... know how to develop strategies for solving problems
... Know how to assess results
... Be able to work in a team and individually
Pedagogical organisational concept, technology must ...
... allow for good scaling
... use teaching resources effectively (much more explorative
self-learning)
...

Linear Algebra for Engineers at the TU-Berlin
Blended Learning
Answer to:
about 4000 students per year
number of tutors too small
Inadequate rooms, infrastructure
mathematical competence varies broadly.

Self Assessment Test
Matheon-Sefi Conference, April 2009
Online Self Assessment Test
Elementary Mathematics
- math competence among students differ a lot
- students and teachers need to know: What are
the prerequisites for the upcoming courses
Goals:
- self assessment of missing pieces of
knowledge and competences
- first step towards: automatised diagnostic
testing.
Matheon-Sefi Conference, April 2009
Online Self Assessment Test
Elementary Mathematics
Questions from
- school mathematics
- for the understanding of freshmen
courses
Multiple Choice
- common mistakes among choices
- variables randomized
- pooled problems
- can be repeated indefinitely at all times
- Immediate automatic feedback
Matheon-Sefi Conference, April 2009
28
Online Self Assessment Test
Elementary Mathematics
presently
- about 200 problems + variants
- large part of syllabus covered
- first launch: August 2008
- more than 600 participants
perspective
- improve feedback
- more problems
- automatised diagnostic testing
