2. Consortium
Provide a brief description of the consortium members and their roles in the project.
The JEM network currently enlists 20 nodes who are eContent stakeholders for the area of matematics, physics or statistics education.
The technology developer partners include the leading European groups for producing advanced learning software solutions and can offer a wide range of ICT tools to enhance mathematics teaching. They include University of Helsinki, TU/e, Technical University of Eindhoven, Jacobs University and NAG Ltd, with a long tradition in research on representation and software for the electronic communication of mathematics. The commercial partner Maths for More has released several tools and plugins that can be used in the Moodle learnig environment, including a math-enabled chat application. University of Birmingham offers and continues to develop STACK, a widely used software system for mathematics assessment, which generates random exercises and automatically grades the students' answers. Recently it has also produced a mathematics editor applet that can be used in Moodle or standalone to enter easily a mathematical expression.
RWTH Aachen University, and ISN Oldenburg offer full online learning environments for teaching applications of mathematics in Statistics and Physics. Advanced multilingual software is the expertise of Chalmers University of Technology.
Several partners are experienced authors of online educational material for mathematics and their institutions offer online couses and distance education. Universiteit van Amsterdam has a wide experience in using ICT-supported courseware. Three JEM partners represent purely virtual universities: the German FernUniversität Hagen, the Spanish UNED National Distance University of Education, and the Catalonian Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. All of them deliver instruction purely online. Universidade de Lisboa, Buskerud University College, and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki are traditional higher education institution where the introduction of ICT support is taking place gradually. Trondheim NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, joins JEM as an institution for training mathematics teachers.
Whilst all partners have specific dissemination channels, consisting of a network of students, or organizations or professional societies, the JEM network also includes the commercial publisher Liguori Editori and the major international academic society of professonal mathematicians, the European Mathematical Society.
The consortium is currently not accepting any new members.
