Abstract
In the workplace, mathematics is a fundamental skill. Mathematics is very important to business management students, and it is used as a tool in almost all four-year college courses. However, the number of students who can truly enjoy mathematics should be very small among business management students. The integration of information software into teaching has become an important trend, and the charm of anime for young people should not be underestimated. Therefore, in this study, the university students were given the opportunity to create a digital textbook for Grade 12 mathematics in which they were transformed into anime characters. In addition, the students were able to learn how to use the new software to create digital teaching materials by using group work and peer-to-peer collaboration. The study was conducted with a valid population of 36 students, and a focus group and questionnaire were used to collect information. It was found that by searching, developing the content, designing the questions and solutions, and explaining the origin of the formulae, the participating students were given the opportunity to learn the mathematics of Grade 12 again, gaining positive thoughts about mathematics and increasing their enthusiasm and willingness to learn mathematics. In addition, the study used the app “Moment Cam”, which none of the study participants had experience with, for peer-to-peer collaborative learning. It was found that collaborative learning is also a good way to learn to use new tools.
