Abstract

This paper discusses how a web-based course in calculus is created using a Computer Algebra System and delivered to the students who are studying for their diploma course at the Polytechnic using an in-house developed e-Learning portal named e-CAMPUS system. The e- CAMPUS is an in-house developed portal for lecturers to deliver their course materials and other purposes. It has the necessary features to support an online course completely. The system was developed to support the campus wide mobile computing initiatives that see the Polytechnic helping students to own their personal notebook PC. The initiatives hope to cultivate a learning culture in both students and staff to fully exploit the new development of Information and Communication Technology for life-long learning. The paper will emphasize on showing how teaching and self-learning materials in calculus were written using a Computer Algebra System and placed on the web using the e-CAMPUS to support the students in learning anytime and anywhere. Students are able to carry out investigation, exploration and much more, with the online materials. The paper will also show the many features like online assessment, online discussion that are built within the e-CAMPUS to support virtual learning.
