Mathematics app as a mobile assessment beside LMS assessment

Abstract

This proposal presents a self-developed mobile Assessment in short, an App for School Mathematics. The path from idea to implementation and why there was the decision for the development of such an application is described. The app is a further development of the studies beginning phase. After testing the first prototype with 30 students during mathematics preliminary course at our university several changes where done. For instance the handwritten formulas where changed to LaTeX formulas and an English language package is added. Beside the learning management system (LMS) Moodle at BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg the app has similar functionality for assessments and complements in this way. This LMS is intended to serve as a reference for the app in this paper.
