3. Encourage learning in the context of problems A grant supported the development of this web site on discrete mathematics.web site on discrete mathematics Launch problems led to exploration of concepts, practice, and extensions. Although old, it shows that problem-based learning for creative problem solving can be implemented online.

4. Use games to teach pattern recognition and independent thinking There are many online simulations of this game.this game By not judging answers, this version supports players’ emotional comfort and independent thinking.
