Abstract

This paper introduces two different e-Learning environments. Both are used at the Vienna University of Technology to support the courses and exercises in mathematics. There are different level of courses. On the one hand there is a refresher course to support new students who might had some time off before starting their study as well as ?atten different school levels of mathematics. On the other hand there are regular mathematical courses in the ?rst two to three semester. Due to improved and advanced possibilities offered by the environment in the last years the system enables the integration of simulation examples. In 2006 the research group Mathematical Modelling and Simulation (MMS) developed an individual web-server to provide students with simulation examples. This server was used in the lectures as well as for practice at home. In the last year also a combination of Moodle and this web application was used to perform tests. This paper should give a short introduction in both systems and compare their advantages and disadvantages. In the outlook a new possibility is presented to combine the advantages of both presented systems.
