An Interface for Math e-Learning on Pen-Based Mobile Devices
Abstract:
We explore how pen-based mobile devices may be used for mathematics
instruction. It is convenient to split the function of a math
e-Learning system between these light-weight devices and a server
running a content management system. Functions such as sketching and
entering and displaying mathematical expressions can be performed
on the mobile devices, while other functions such as computing plots
and checking student answers are more conveniently performed on the
server. This distribution of computation is invisible to the student,
who merely sees a pen-based instructional system in a web browser.
