Abstract

The mathematics e-Learning system STACK is a quiz system where students do not select answers from options provided by teachers but instead submit mathematical expressions. This kind of e-Learning system is especially useful for mathematical science subjects. STACK is usually used for drill practices of mathematical sciences. In this paper, we propose its usage for self-learning. In order to realize self-learning using STACK, we developed interactive content using the CindyJS framework of Cinderella, a type of dynamic geometry software, and embedded it in questions for students to investigate and interact with by themselves.
