A Digital Lego-Based Learning Environment for Fraction Ordering

Learning environment is a process where learning is activated or enabled and the resources to support it are made available to a learner in order to construct and acquire knowledge. An environment must be simulated with features that enable learning to be fascinating, motivating and required mental process for critical thinking. What is to be learnt is crucial in learning and the focus of learning as a domain knowledge is fraction ordering, which is one of the topics in Mathematics. Hence, this paper develops a digital Lego-based learning environment for fraction ordering.http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v34i4.1

An online model for assessing students' understanding with stepwise solving of calculus questions

Information Technology (IT) is a pivot of new phase lift to educational system. It has reformed the mode of learning on the part of learners from passiveness to activeness that promote mental reform and skills. In all learning, one of the ways to ascertain the level of students understanding in a given concepts network is to provide either formative or summative assessment. Hence, in this paper, an online-based model is developed for assessing students’ understanding with stepwise solving of calculus questions. The system presents the students’ understanding as it relates to retention and recall on those inter-concepts that they need to know.Keywords: Information Technology, educational system, students’ understanding, calculus question
