Software Engineering Interactive e-Learning Mathematical Tool

The research is proposing a new way of tackling the process of creation of e-learning interactive environments by integrating and undertaking the software engineering approach based on e-learning outcomes. The main research was focused towards creating an e-learning interactive mathematical system that will be used in the course "Discrete Mathematics" in learning mathematical operation of different types such as system of linear equations, matrices, determinants, functions etc. This gives the student learners additional advantages in learning and solving equations, and perform matrix operations in a shorter time and have a visual representation of it. It is also an opportunity for the student learners to gain computational experience and to check their results with the software ones. In order to assess e-learning effectiveness we have-proposed a methodology called ELUAT (E-learning Usability Attributes Testing) and as measuring instrument the PET (predefined evaluation tasks) inspection technique. It investigates the task-oriented learning approach and is modeled to support project based learning.
