System for Teaching and Assessment using a Computer algebra Kernel

"The advantage of teaching in a more integrated way is that the curriculum is covered several times during the year and in a variety of contexts. Students learn and are assessed over longer periods of time; often with a better retention of the concepts studied and are likely more able to attach meaning to the material studied. The crux of the philosophy is meaning. Individual student meaning is facilitated when students are motivated - this can be enhanced by choice. Choice reduces stress because it gives the students a sense of control and often provides a personalized learning program with appropriate levels of challenge."
