This innovation concerns the redesign of the bachelor mathematics courses for non-math students, designed by the Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics at TU Delft, as part of PRIME (Project Innovation Mathematics Education) to improve student motivation and activity.

Videos are a common instructional delivery method in blended/online learning environments. The effectiveness of them on learning is debated. The effect of facilitating self-monitoring of learning and use of effective learning strategies when learning from videos, is examined.

In PRIME, research is done into the methods used in the education, in the 1st year Bachelor calculus course of computer science. We study the effect of gender in perception of teacher support and consequences thereof on basic needs, satisfaction, motivation and drop-outs.

In this project student engagement will be investigated in service mathematics courses for engineering students. The purpose is to examine how student engagement can be defined, assessed, and supported in a blended learning context.

Blended and online learning offer students the flexibility of time and space to study. Many students are using study strategies that are not effective. It is important to examine their study strategies and support them with those that optimize their study time.

Transfer of mathematics to engineering courses. In general, transfer of learning is defined as using knowledge and skills in another context than the context in which it was initially learned.
