Randomized physics questions with JSXGraph and Formulas

Florian Leupold Kantonsschule Uster florian.leupold@ksuster.ch Abstract STEM subjects, and physics in particular, pose many challenges for high school students. Among those are routine tasks as variably handling multiple math concept at the same time and switching between multiple representations like diagrams, sketches, formulas and tables. At the advent of the corona pandemic, I took the leap and started creating online questions with randomized parameters for repeated individual practice and assessment using Moodle’s Formulas question type and JSXGraph.

STACK + JSXGraph

Pekka Alestalo Department of Mathematics and Systems Analysis, Aalto University, Finland pekka.alestalo@aalto.fi Abstract The presesentation consists of two parts. We start by describing the use of STACK in Aalto University basic math courses, in some cases combined with JSXGraph. In the second part, a 20 min video by Miko Karjalainen, we show how to combine STACK with JSXGraph by using the different bind_point commands.

Algebra as a geometric modeling language

Reinhard Oldenburg Mathematisches Institut, Universität Augsburg, Universitätsstraße 14, 86159 Augsburg Abstract The Felix web application allows to model geometric situations with algebraic equations and inequalities. Furthermore, it allows to maximize or minimize certain quantities when calculating the configuration of objects. The talk will give a short overview of the system and the didactical ideas behind it. Moreover, some ideas for further development are discussed.

eXpert project: JSXGraph in Moodle questions (Formulas and STACK)

Marc Bernat Martínez Alemany bernatg4@gmail.com Abstract Talk intended to school teachers. During the pandemic, the impact of e-learning became particularly important. In the field of remote teaching, there is a notable lack of high-quality, research-based learning material. eXpert is an Erasmus+ project coordinated by Maribor University (Slovenia), which have created advanced interactive i-Textbooks including questions with JSXGraph. One of the main aims of the project is… Community-driven use and improvements of i-textbooks (similar to Wikipedia).

JSXGraph Integration in MyOpenMath

David Flenner david.flenner@gmail.com Abstract This session is designed for instructors of mathematics at any level, but particularly those who may instruct online courses. During the session, I will demonstrate the capabilities of a JSXGraph extension library I created for MyOpenMath - which is an open-source online homework platform for mathematics. The library allows instructors to create homework questions that integrate JSX constructions. These constructions have the ability to be graded automatically by the system in a variety of methods and thus provides an easy way to create interactive homework and test questions by instructors.

JSXGraph integration within Eleda, a NoCode pedagogical authoring tool

Christophe Bansart, Research and Development Director KDetude EdTech company, https://kdetude.com, Paris - France Abstract During this JSXGraph conference, we would like to talk about how we have implemented JSXGraph into our product, and how it could participate to democratise pedagogical activity design. Then we could design in real time few simple pedagogical activities using JSXGraph components. 1. Product context Nowadays, creating and adapting pedagogical activities in STEM is a difficult task for teachers.

JSXGraph solutions in theoretical mechanics courses for on-line education

Evgeny Bord 630008, Russia Novosibirsk 113 Leningradskaya Street Abstract Recent one and half year actualize problem on support education process out from campus with absence of blackboard and tools for control on students activity. This challenge seems more complex by circumstens by mobile communications usual for students community. Lose of traditional auditorial dialogue pose the problem of students motivation for education efforts in individual practice for solving academician tasks. On other hand this problem were exist for a lot of time and not issued from the choice between auditorial or distant form of education process.

MecLib - Dynamic and Interactive Graphics in STACK questions without JS

Martin Kraska and Dennis Schulz Technische Hochschule Brandenburg, kraska@th-brandenburg.de Abstract STACK is a Moodle question type which comes with built-in support of JSXGraph, a JavaScript library for interactive and dynamic graphics. It is possible to evaluate properties of interactively modified graphics from within STACK and to provide automatic feedback. Authors of STACK questions usually handle HTML, LaTeX and Maxima (the CAS engine used in STACK). MecLib has been developed as a Maxima interface to a pre-defined set of high-level JSXGraph objects.

Using interactive JSXGraphs in STACK tasks on probability theory and statistics

Dr. Michael Kallweit and Jonas Lache Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Fakultät für Mathematik, Postfach 70, 44780 Bochum, Germany Abstract In the project “OER.Stochastik.NRW”, digital tasks, interactive applications, and learning videos from the field of probability theory and statistics are being jointly developed as Open Educational Resources at three German universities. The software combination of STACK and JSXGraph proves to be fruitful for the creation of modern and interactive digital mathematics tasks. Especially in probability theory and statistics, the application of mathematics can be brought to life.

Using JSXGraph in Numbas

Christian Lawson-Perfect Newcastle University, UK Abstract The first half of this talk is a demonstration of software aimed at lecturers and teachers, and the second half is a technical discussion which will be of interest to developers. Numbas is an open-source e-assessment system designed for mathematical subjects. There has been an extension for integrating JSXGraph diagrams in Numbas since 2011. I will demonstrate some applications of JSXGraph in Numbas questions, and share some of my successes and difficulties in using JSXGraph.
