Academic interests
Academic interests
Main interests lie within the use of Computer aided assessment (CAA) in teaching. Use of CAA-tools for learning, testing and exams.
Tools in use are:
- STACK
- NUMBAS
- SOWISO
- MyMathLab
Use of video in teaching (Flipped classroom) and the connection between CAA and video,
Current courses
