OptimizerSpace: A CSCL Tool for Search and Optimization

Research output: Contribution to book/anthology/report/proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Optimization is important, both as a mathematical method, and as a general, descriptive and analytical perspective on human activity. However, taking a formal, mathematical approach to teaching optimization will leave out the majority of learners who do not have the necessary calculus training. We present a pilot study of OptimizerSpace, a CSCL-tool designed to elicit students’ intuitive ideas and strategies for optimization, and to enable teachers to easily facilitate classroom discussions about them.
