Online Learning in Mathematics Education

“This book’s strength is that it is multidimensional, rich in theory, practice, research, references, and technology associated with supporting mathematics educators through and towards online learning. This book is a great source of knowledge, and we appreciate the placement of the chapters into each section. The chapter organization within each section provides the reader with a logical progression of conceptual understanding, experience, examples, and empirical research. … we recommend that anyone interested in online mathematics education should read this book.” (Marfuah Marfuah, Rita Novita and Sri Wulandari Danoebroto, EducationalStudies in Mathematics, Vol. 112 (2), 2023)

Dr. Karen F. Hollebrands is a Professor at North Carolina State University and Interim Associate Dean for Research and Innovation. She is a mathematics educator whose research focuses on studying students’ and teachers’ use of technology and their mathematical understanding, the preparation of teachers to use technology to teach mathematics, and the design of curricula to support mathematics teacher educators who prepare teachers to use technology. She has received several grants to support her research in these areas. She currently serves as the editor of the Mathematics Teacher Educator journal that is supported by the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
