E-Tutorials as an Addition to Higher Education Learning Scenarios

Abstract

At universities, we observe a great range of variation in previous knowledge and decreasing mathematical competences of studentspartly due to less limited qualification rules at universities in Germany. To address the challenges which arise by teaching very heterogeneous student groups we use e-tutorials as an addition to traditional classroom teaching. We show how virtual 3D rooms should be constructed for the purpose of etutorials. Based on our experience we discuss advantages and limitations using virtual 3D rooms in university teaching.
