5th JEM Workshop

Impact of ICT on the Teaching of Mathematics and on the Mathematics Curriculum
26-27 November 2008
Paris, Finnish Institute

The focus of the Workshop is the Impact of Technology in the Teaching of Mathematics.
On one hand, technology is affecting the content of the mathematics curricula at different levels, and, on the other hand, technology supports traditional teaching, and makes the delivery of mathematics education more efficient.

The theme of the workshop is to discuss the extent to which technology should change the actual content of the various mathematics curricula, and how it could be best used to enhance traditional teaching. This includes the use and the further development of various assistive technologies.

Submitted by arch on Tue, 2008/09/30 - 18:05.

odt2dtbook has recently received the OpenOffice.org Community Innovation Program Gold Award. This award recognises work carried out with Vincent Spiewak on the development of the odt2dtbook, an OpenOffice.org-writer “export to DTBook XML” extension (see http://chezdom.net/blog/?p=61). The story was published yesterday on Sun website: http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/media/features/2008-0924/, including an interview of several winners.

Thanks a lot to the OpenOffice.org community and to Sun Microsystems. It means so much that an Assistive Technology project gets this kind of award.

JEM server down on Saturday

Submitted by Mika.Seppala on Sat, 2008/09/27 - 22:14.

JEM Server was down most of Saturday, September 27. The reason for this seems to be a distributed attack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ddos#Distributed_attack) to our server bringing the server down. We are taking action to prevent this in the future.
