Abstract

GURKO, Krista L.. CAPES/FIPSE year one experience report: why begin with math learning objects?. ETD [online]. 2011, vol.12, n.03, pp.252-267. ISSN 1676-2592.

This experience report describes one student’s perspective about being a part of the first CAPES/FIPSE exchange session that brought her to study at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil from Utah State University (USU) in the United States. In June and July 2010, this student joined two other university students to present the CAPES/FIPSE project and the related math learning objects at four schools in Campinas. This article provides an overview of the project and offers this student’s thoughts about possible reasons for the instructors’ immediate responses and future plans with the digital learning objects.

Keywords : CAPES/FIPSE; International Student Exchange; Digital Learning Objects; Cultural Affordances; Instructor Education.
