  1. The structure of activities in RCN and MATH.SE Johan ThorbiörnsonPhD, Director MATH.SEDirector RCN - Resource Centre for Netbased Educationjohanthor@kth.se, +46 703 371100 Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholmhttp://www.math.se info@math.se

  2. RCN organisation • President Gustav Amberg (skolchef)‏ • Director Johan Thorbiörnson • Steering committee (academic representatives)‏ • Staff at RCN • Work related to scientific content is done on institutions and units • Under consultants (can be mentors, technical infrastructure and development, marketing and publishing, implementation and production of multimedia content, running operations, maintenance of IT-systems, etc )‏ • Projects on institutions (MATH.SE is such a project)‏

  3. The way through the system for the student • Application • Computer account • Log in • Study, tutoring, supervision, feedback, remainders • Examination

  4. The student log in through a central database • Will then be linked to the specific learning platform and the net based tools within which activities will be done. • Instead of a solution based on one single LMS we use different modules and specific net based tools, linked together in one framework. • Different technical solutions, for example a Wiki for publishing course material, systems for automatically corrected tests, systems for collaboration and groupwork, etc.

  5. Student Lounge After logging in, the student comes to their personal page. Links to • Course literature • Examination parts and tests • Course forum • Personal tutor • Study guidance, etc • Administrative tools Personal study plan

  6. Course material in a wiki solution • Teachers can develop material in working teams • Version management • Mathematical signs and other special signs can be displayed directly in the web browser (LaTeX)‏ • In discussion forums the students easily can write mathematics by clicking on buttons for special signs or more advanced by using LaTeX.

  7. Net based examination – framework for courses The examination process is partitioned into levels and performed continuously during the course: • Basic facts - basic tests after each section • Problem solving - final tests after each section • Analysis and synthesis, ability to discuss and evalute – wiki for individual assignment and group assignment • Final evaluation and feedback of cohesive knowledge, feedback and grading – written or oral exam The student will be coached by tutors online, who follows and tracks the work by the students with the net based examination, continuously during the course.

  8. What happens under the “shell”?

  9. RCN supports the complete process 1. The student's application and continued studies - Marketing - Formal course information on the web - The student's application, flexible application process during the year - Basic data for decision on admission - Admission and establishing personal records in national database - Vourse registration, criterias for activity - Net based tests, examinations in classrooms - Reporting results in national database, system for book-keeping - Tracking, follow-up, coaching, Uppföljning och coaching, reminders to students - Information to students 2. The technique and logging in 3. Development projects and collaboration with institutions

  10. Administrative system

  11. Administrative system Interfaces for tutors, teachers and administrators

  12. How do we do the examination?

  13. How do we do the examination? - I have teached Fido how to whistle. - I can not hear him whistling. - I said that I have teached him how to whistle, not that he have learnt how to whistle.

  14. Netbased examination- an integrated part of the students learning process

  15. Identitety control and personal feedback A final exam (written or oral). In principle a repetition of what have been done through the Internet. Here we evaluate how well the student fulfilled the learning outcomes. Grading. Identity control.

  16. What is a “net based course”? Textbooks Classroom Student INTERNET WWW Virtual classroom Advanced follow up Onlineexamination
