Project goal: Our aim is to give the students a detailed insight into how fractions work and foster a deep understanding of basic concepts of fractions. Therefore we develop a adaptive textbook for the iPad.

Learning Fractions with and without Educational Technology: What Matters for High-Achieving and Low-Achieving Students?

We developed interactive material for learning fractions providing scaffolds in an e-textbook. High-achieving students did benefit from the curriculum, regardless of whether it was presented with or without interactive scaffolds, while for low-achieving students using scaffolds was decisive.

Design and research potential of interactive textbooks: the case of fractions

Computer-based learning environments introduce aspects that allow further information on learning processes to be gleaned. In this study, linear mixed models revealed a negative effect of time on task on task success, which was moderated by exercise difficulty and by student competence.
