Motivation1
• Numbers of graduates in engineering disciplines is dropping all accross EU.In Germany: from 52.278 (1996) to 31.000 (2002)

Motivation2
• Drop-out rates of students in engineering and science programs across the EU vary from 15-40%
• Lack of mathematics competencies is identified as one of the major reasons
• Existing remedial courses suffer from several problems:– unilingual content– little interactivity– not interoperable, not standard compliant– not for all colleges and universities
• Bridge the gap between schools and higher education in Europe by developing the pan-European repository of remedial content + adaptive platform for accessing it

Project objectives• Enhance existing European content collections• Implement them in interoperable format• Provide multi-lingual and multi-cultural access
(English, German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Dutch, Hungarian)
• Customize adaptive e-Learning system ActiveMath (developed at CeLTech) into the Math-Bridge platform
• Integrate Math-Bridge with existing assessment tools and LMS
• Evaluate Math-Bridge platform• Form the user community and disseminate project
