  This study investigated outsourcing of the development of visual, animated and interactive learning objects for mathematics education by a Norwegian university to software vendors in China. It sought to understand the challenges in this outsourcing engagement and competences needed to meet the challenges. The authors tested outsourcing strategies and summarized their experiences with the ordering and production process. The test design included preliminary prototyping with four software vendors and a test production with one of them. The outcome of the outsourcing engagement was five complex, game-like learning objects.

  Our R&D study investigates the possibility of establishing a development relationship on visual, animated and interactive learning objects for mathematics education, between Norwegian university teachers that order and describe new learning objects and potential producers of such artifacts in China. It seeks better comprehension of challenges that may come up in an outsourced production and competences needed to meet them. The test design includes a preliminary test with four different Chinese Flash-developing environments that contributed with first prototypes and a test production with one of them. The outcome was five complex and game-like learning objects. This paper summarizes our experiences with the ordering and production process

  The topic is the development of ordering and supply expertise on a global level. How do we go about developing mathematical learning objects when there are ideas about what to develop, but a lack of working environment to complete them? We presented (a) our R&D study investigating the possibility of establishing a development relationship between Norwegian university teachers that order and describe new learning objects and potential producers of such artifacts in China, and (b) the game-like learning objects for mathematics education as developed in the study's test production.

  Formidling av pågående arbeid med forsknings- og utviklingsprosjekter på Fakultetet for Teknologi og Realfag. Fokus på læringsutbytte av IKT i alle skolefagene og spesielt i matematikk. Bod på "Forskningstorg" med smakebiter av nettbaserte interaktive læringsressurser, utviklet på UiA, henholdsvis i prosjektet parAbel og av studenter i studiet IKT og læring. Intervju av publikum: Hva tenker du kan bli mulig hvis all elevene i en klasse hadde bærbar datamaskin og Internett?

  I forhold til Sørlands Kompetansesenter sin målsetting om å utvikle pedagogikk og gode verktøy for e-læring med basis i bredbåndsteknologi, presenterte vi prosessen fra idémyldring og fram til resultatet i utvikling av nettleksjoner og multimediakomponenter til kurspakken for matematikk 1MY. Den inngår i studiekompetansekurs til voksne ("six-pack") i Vest-Agder og flere andre fylker, organisert som nettilbud kombinert med klasseromsamlinger (fjern- og nærundervisning). Demonstrasjon av nettleksjoner i MentorKit og multimediakomponenter utviklet i samarbeidet Kvadraturen/HiA. Status og veien videre.
