M-Learning Support Project

MobiTutorZA App Support

As part of its hybrid techno-blended approach to STEM develop ment in schools, the GMMDC has developed an innovative digital software mobile application for Mathematics and Physical Sciences called MobiTutorZA™.

The online version of the app provides key support for the MobiTutorZA Academy & TAPS learner support projects of the GMMDC. It provides easy anytime access to quality Maths &

Science content lessons, structured self-assessments with feedback, exam revision, multi-language support soft skills support and more. The GMMDC also uses the online app to offer Mathematics competitions in schools. A recent new project called MobiMatric allows project learners to do practice exam papers (with scoring and automated feedback) via the app prior to formal examinations at schools.

A new offline-only version of the Android software package for phones also contains all the Mathematics and Physical Sciences curriculum support materials for self-directed learning support across all Grades without any data costs. This app can be installed on the personal phone of any learner and supports all grades.

GeoGebra for Innovative Pedagogical Practice (GIPP)

The goal of the GIPP project is to offer GeoGebra skills development opportunities for teachers and learners to support the teaching and learning of mathematics.

Over the past decade, the open-source dynamic graphics Mathematics & Science software GeoGebra has been a most valuable free online educational support platform with a vibrant global user community of practice with millions of STEM educators and students using it. The GMMDC houses a local GeoGebra institute chapter and has successfully offered various webinars and training programmes locally and nationally to promote the use of GeoGebra amongst in-service mathematics teachers to enhance their teaching practice. The Centre recently developed innovative GeoGebra Mathematics applet series for the CAPS school curriculum that are customized for use with mobile phones. These applets, which can easily be accessed and shared via social media, are designed to assist Mathematics teachers to integrate technology in their classroom practice and to support self-directed learning after school hours.
