What is Interactive Geometry
§ A geometric picture: a single case
§ repeat? describe?
§ Manipulate a geometric construction:
§ let students or teachers explore
§ take to limits, verify hypotheses,
§ Since the 80s: JM Laborde, N Jackiw, R Mechling, …
§ Alive in many communities:
§ rather software and language-speciﬁc
§ one of the primary mathematics tool in schools

Search for interactive resources
§ Dynamic geometry is very widespread
§ search for it?
§ French: triangle rectangle => rectangles
§ English: perpendicular bisector => angle bisectors
§ conceptual search is needed
§ and conceptual annotations
§ partly there at search engine (some languages)
§ I2geo’s approach: ontology of mathematical concepts
§ topics with ontological inheritance
§ competencies with relationships

Curriculum Coverage
10
§ all educational levels of western Europe
are entered
§ some Curriculum linking
§ take ofﬁcial texts
and link it to ontology
§ satisﬁes teachers‘
wishes
§ all authored by
curriculum-experts (translations, additions)

Open Educational Resources
§ Dynamic Geometry Systems’ ﬁles are… ﬁles
§ that can be opened and played (with appropriate players)
§ that can be adapted
§ i2geo only has Open Educational Resources
§ delivered with a license
§ free to re-use, copy, share, republish
§ sometimes free to adapt or only outside commercial
§ easy to apply and re-use
§ the cost becomes
§ prepare to teach, pull from trusted resources
11

OER Quality… a long Quest
§ Free share may mean as cheap as free beer
§ Only from recommended authors?
§ Take time to evaluate everything on the web?
§ technical traps, mathematical issues, inconsistent behaviours
§ e.g. the outer-surprise
§ start: trust what others trust
§ => share quality evaluation
§ i2geo Quality: for dynamic geometry
§ usability, stability, ease of use… example: pyramid’s
§ displayed, and inﬂuences the search
§ many other approaches (even Facebook’s!)

Quality is Social
§ consider How to create a class wiki
§ is it good?
§ I trust Neil’s comment… so I should trust it?
§ quality is a personal measure
§ may be leveraged by trust
§ social networks!
§ Open Discovery Space
§ large European project
§ social network and resources’ sharing in one
§ gather resources from many (~500’000)

Re-use? (sayings)
§ Preparation of Math-Bridge (1st attempt):
(partner, we)
§ p: Will there be an authoring tool?
§ w: Sure, but there will be content ready to use.
§ p: Mmh, but our teachers do not want to re-use.
§ w: why not?
§ p: these are proud men, they want to make their own.
§ Joke about German professors:
§ Re-use my colleagues course?
§ Rather his toothbrush!
14

Re-use?
§ i2geo.net hosts
§ ~3500 resources, ~2700 users
§ ﬁnal objective: help teachers apply
§ … use and re-use
§ observation of practices:
§ technicalities can still drown
§ incompatible format? not bad… just redo
§ dark re-use!
§ language crossing happens sometimes
§ mathematics may be the best there
§ but: different mathematical cultures!
