Learning Mathematics by Designing, Programming, and Investigating with Interactive, Dynamic Computer-Based Objects
Neil Marshall; Chantal Buteau
International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education Vol. 21, No. 2 (2014) pp. 49–64
As part of their undergraduate mathematics curriculum, students at Brock University learn to create and use computer-based tools with dynamic, visual interfaces, called Exploratory Objects, developed for the purpose of conducting pure or applied...

Case Study of an Epistemic Mathematics Computer Game
Chantal Buteau; Eric Muller
International Journal of Game-Based Learning Vol. 8, No. 3 (July 2018) pp. 34–55
E-Brock Bugs is a serious educational game (SEG) about probability which was created based on Devlin's design principles for games whose players adopt identities of mathematically able persons. This kind of games in which “players think and act like ...

Prospective Secondary Teachers Repositioning by Designing, Implementing and Testing Mathematics Learning Objects: A Conceptual Framework
Joyce R. Mgombelo; Chantal Buteau
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology Vol. 40, No. 8 (2009) pp. 1051–1068
This article describes a conceptual framework developed to illuminate how prospective teachers' learning experiences are shaped by didactic-sensitive activities in departments of mathematics. We draw from the experiences of prospective teachers in...

On the Integration of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) by Canadian Mathematicians: Results of a National Survey
Chantal Buteau; Daniel H. Jarvis; Zsolt Lavicza
Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education Vol. 14, No. 1 (2014) pp. 35–57
In this article, we outline the findings of a Canadian survey study (N = 302) that focused on the extent of computer algebra systems (CAS)-based technology use in postsecondary mathematics instruction. Results suggest that a considerable number of...
