Why Math-Bridge?Why Math-Bridge?
⢠Students lack mathematics competencies for (engineering) fields-of-study all over Europe
⢠Drop-out rates high in Europe! 15-60%⢠No. of graduated engineers insufficient
â E.g., Germany 1996: 52.278â 2002: 31.000
A possible remedy:personalized online Bridge Courses

Why Math-Bridge? Why Math-Bridge?
⢠Existing remedial courses for higher education insufficient:â Do not adapt enough to individual studentsâ Do not adapt enough to field-of-studyâ Do not illustrate early enough importance of
mathematics in field-of-study

⢠Existing digital content not properly reusableâ single languages instead of multi-lingualâ not interoperableâ not standard compliant (or no metadata)â not for all colleges and universities
⢠Existing digital content not well accessibleâ No semantic searchâ No cultural-adaptiv search
⢠Existing digital content with little interactivity⢠Existing digital content without cultural
