JEM is a EU-funded thematic network for Joining Educational Mathematics. It started on 1 August 2006 and will run for 3 years.

The goal of the JEM thematic network is to pool together the required expertise and to contribute to the coordination of content enrichment activities in the area of mathematics, to the maintenance of agreed standards and to the delivery of powerful synoptic high-quality user information and support pages, invoked in e-learning platforms operated by the partners. These activities will have tremendous long-term benefits for the quality of e-learning in mathematics in Europe and the wider world.

The real challenge of e-Learning is to produce content that brings a general improvement in the way students learn and instructors teach. The design and the production of high-quality digital content has turned out to be harder than expected, the main reason being that it requires expertise in several subject matters as well as expertise in several technologies. In the case of mathematics, the required areas of expertise include that of professional mathematicians, software engineers, publishers, and perhaps learning theorists.

JEM features:

• A database of authors and developers available to registered users
• News, software products and services sections fully editable and manageable
• Topics sections in a wiki created by contributing authors and developers
• Dynamic Forum/Poll/Voting booth for on-the-spot results on e-learning technologies and practices
• Direct line to experts in e-mathematics by contact forms available to registered users
• Several RSS Feeds on keywords, categories, resources, blogs
