In 2008, a small team of university and secondary school teachers in the Netherlands
jointly developed an e-class for students in their final pre-university year
(age: 17-18 yrs) about continuous dynamical systems. The e-class is an innovative way of
teaching and learning mathematics and science by way of web-supported instruction in a
blended learning approach. The e-learning ingredients are: an on-line instructional text,
Java applets for students' explorative work,
Java exercise applets, video clips of worked-out examples, and
descriptions plus (computer) worksheets of real experiments.
We present the design of the e-class plus some of the ICT ingredients of the e-class and
their potential for teaching and learning dynamical systems in terms of principled design approaches to
multimedia learning and pedagogical arrangements.
