Abstract:
On the boundaries between manual, adaptive and intelligent generation of e-quiz-tasks, this paper tackles their didactical potentials and encounters for open teaching and learning of undergraduate mathematics. The most flexible and personalized domain-specific learning content offering instantaneous assistive feedback is desirable, yet not easy to be provided with or without the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Today’s “learners on the go” seek fast and granulated learning content. However, overproduction may lead to a quantity of drill-and-practice exercises that may be beneficial for procedural fluency, yet not enough to secure conceptual understanding in mathematics and the development of 21st century skills. Therefore, based on four theoretically defined criteria for OER-Enabled Pedagogy according to Wiley & Hilton Iii (2018), this paper suggests small scale open resources combining Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS). Their (1) added value i
s seen in the multi purposes of LMS-Moodle-Quiz-Activities going beyond the commonly-accepted summative assessment: (i) self-regulated learning through instantaneous feedback, (ii) collaboration, (iii) creativity, and (iv) procedural and conceptual understanding in mathematics. The possible (2) application, revision, remix, or re-creation of the OER is discussed through illustrative examples in Abstract and Linear Algebra. The paper finalizes with outlying the (3) share-ability of the resources publicly, and their (4) open-licencing.
