- Description
- With the advent of new technologies, methods of blended learning are used in online mathematics classrooms to facilitate interactions and provide a richer experience for students. This paper analyses data obtained from practising teachers during their participation in two postgraduate mathematics courses. We conclude that discussion forum interactions are students’ preferred way of online learning. Also, although high levels of interaction do not necessarily correlate with success, they are essential for some students to persist with difficult content.
