Abstract

This chapter is concerned with the integration of research in mathematics education and e-learning. Its main aim is to provide a perspective on the teaching/learning opportunities offered by e-learning platforms in a blended learning setting, as experienced at the Universities of Salerno and of Piemonte Orientale. Two types of teaching actions have been set above all: a) tailored units of learning, which have required the design/implementation of a huge pool of learning objects, according to domain-specific guidelines from mathematics education research and to various educational parameters from e-learning research; b) cooperative or individual teacher-driven learning activities together with various practice for self or peer assessment, which have been designed according both to e-learning and mathematics pedagogies based on the active role of the learner, the interaction with tutors and peers, and the importance of critical thinking and communication skills. Finally some feedback from students is reported, and some opportunities for future research are outlined.
