Effective use of mathematical equations in an online learning environment

Abstract

Mathematical analysis is an essential tool in the practice of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and consequently it is important for students in these subjects to demonstrate effective use of mathematics. In this talk we are interested in supporting the use of mathematical equations in an online learning environment; in particular, we require methods of supporting both the entry and automated marking of mathematical equations, in order to support immediate personalised feedback to the learner.
