e-Learning using the study companion approach for secondary school mathematics (ESCA-Math) / Nur Azizan @ Nur Azyan Yusof

In schools educational system, the advancing technologies in e-learning should not focus on the transition from conventional classroom teaching to self-pursue e-learning system, but instead how these technologies can be used to support the learning process. However, without careful considerations, s...
