Resumé

This paper reports on engineering students’ experiences from the introduction of GeoGebra/screencast assignments in two Mathematics 1 courses for engineering students. The purpose of the assignments was to help students gain a deeper conceptual understanding of mathematics by letting the students explore the mathematics in GeoGebra and to increase student engagement by asking them to present their knowledge in a screencast. The results show that students believe that they gain a better understanding of the topics compared to normal calculation assignments but that some challenges such as discomfort when presenting orally and the time required are prominent.
