Abstract

Homeschooling and still tangible geometry experience! This is possible with the JSXGraph Moodle filter. It enables the integration of JSXGraph constructions almost everywhere where HTML elements are used in Moodle. Moodle users can view the constructions, change them with their mouse or fingers and thus experience geometry up close - no matter where they are.

JSXGraph can also be used in a Moodle quiz. An extra component was developed for this, which is delivered together with the filter. It allows teachers to display and even evaluate constructions in formulas Moodle question type.

The Moodle filter is developed together with JSXGraph at the University of Bayreuth and is continuously improved in international cooperation through Erasmus+ ITEMS project.

Basic knowledge of JavaScript is required for this workshop.
