Abstract

University mathematicians are often selective in their approaches to the use of IT in teaching. Although mathematicians systematically use specialist software in direct teaching of mathematics, as means of delivery e-learning technologies have so far been less widely used. This article is an attempt to explain the rationale for this selectivity, and proposes a ‘wish list’ of future developments for e-learning technologies.
