The aim of the project was to develop and evaluate an interactive tablet textbook on fractions that includes all the functions of a traditional textbook, such as reference facts, explanations and exercises, but also specifically incorporates the interactive possibilities of the tablet to make abstract concepts haptic.
The "MeMoMa" project was a cooperation between the TUM School of Education and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The project investigated the interaction between cognitive and affective characteristics of students and their understanding of complex machines in engineering. The aim was to efficiently capture discipline-specific mental models and to examine the development of characteristics and understanding over the course of their studies. Differences between experts and novices, as well as between experts of different disciplines, were also examined.
