Abstract

Digital technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics to understand the basic concept and the way of problem solving technique. The primary observation found that the mathematics lecturers are not fully utilizing digital technology in their classroom, while teaching engineering students. A survey was conducted to study the barriers preventing the integration and adoption of digital technology in teaching mathematics. Five major barriers were identified: insufficient lecturer training opportunities, inadequate technical support, and lack of knowledge about ways to integrate digital technology to enhance the curriculum, lack of time in the college or university schedule for involving Information and Communication Technology and unavailability of digital resources for the students to access the necessary mathematical materials. To overcome some of these barriers, this research proposes a prototype system for teaching and learning mathematics. The prototype system consists of three users; administrator, lecturer and students. It has many amenities such as lesson planner, assignments, collection of mathematical tools, resources storage, and mathematical guidelines, latest research and projects, forum and so on. The prototype system will be prepared for teaching and learning mathematics much more interesting, inventive, innovative, exploratory, and user friendly manner.
