Open Educational Resources in engineering mathematics education

In terms of university-level mathematics in engineering education, it is becoming increasingly difficult to bridge the gap between the demands of the curriculum and the actual math skills of first-year students.This article discusses the possibility of using learning environments designed by the international ROLE project to complement an introductory course in mathematics. These environments use Open Educational Resources to provide an internal differentiation of learner groups, which makes it easier for students to gain the knowledge needed for the content of the curriculum.
