Abstract

ActiveMath is a Web-based intelligent e-Learning system for mathematics that can support a moderate constructivist teaching: it supports students with an amount of guidance and leaves sufficient space for the learner's own choices, reflection and activities; a student can choose one or several learning goals, a context and a learning scenario and for which ActiveMath generates personalized learning material; at places in the learning material, the learner can extend the book according to her needs; the student can engage in truly interactive problem solving (an input editor eases the input of mathematical expressions). Backend-engines support the diagnosis of the user's input. When the student makes a mistake while exercising, feedback is given and hints can be requested. In addition, the learner can consult the semantic lexicon, she can acquire printed material, interact with an interactive tools.
