INTRODUCTION

 The idea for the structure of this web-page has developed through our work and is based on the conditions and needs in our country. The project is based on the following objectives:

1. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a small country, so distance or e-learning as it is defined could cover only a small percent of population, especially on the level of elementary and secondary school.
2. Cooperation and communication between teachers of Mathematics and Informatics on the state level is low. Cooperation in educational field is very important for the future development of our country.
3. There is no a web-page with contents of Mathematics and Informatics on the regional level and in languages spoken on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
4. Contents of this web-page should help teachers and students to introduce ways of teaching according to modern technologies and help to provide interactive materials in languages spoken in Bosnia and Herzegovina
5. Multilingual page should also provide exchange of information and cooperation on international level

STRUCTURE OF THE WEB-PAGE

1. MAIN STRUCTURE

The front page should contain language menu (Bosnian languages, English, Japanese) and animation.
Main page should contain general information about the contents of the page itself: all main topics, updates, menus, news. The main menu leads the user to contents of Mathematics or Informatics.
Main page for Mathematics should be separated into following parts: elementary school, secondary school, Mathematics education, history of Mathematics, competitions, forums.
Main page for Informatics should have the same menu except for elementary school and history.

2. STRUCTURE OF CONTENTS

Contents for both subjects will mainly be separated into following parts, according to the topic:

• Lectures
• Interactive materials
• Tests and quizzes
• Games
• Problems
• Applications of Mathematics

Lectures can be structured similar to the lectures in the textbooks with main explanations on the topic, something like e-textbook for any user interested in these subjects.

Interactive materials are covering lectures contents but with the different approach. User is not only thought, but through given materials discovers the solution or conclusion by himself. These materials are suitable for individual learning as well as for the work in the classroom with the teacher’s supervision or together with printed worksheets as demonstration materials in the teaching process.

Tests and quizzes are structured for revising the knowledge individually or with teacher’s supervision.

Games based on the mathematical knowledge are interesting way for practicing and revising the learned topics.

Problems and applications encourage users for discovering and using learned materials, lowering the level of abstraction and broadening the sense of usage of Mathematics in different fields and in everyday life.

 3. OTHER CONTENTS

 As it is planned to be a general page for Mathematics and Informatics and education in this field, the page should contain texts and information on different topics connected with it. That should be interesting parts of history of Mathematics, news like discoveries, articles on the topics of education, applications, happenings connected to Mathematics and Informatics education like competitions, seminars, symposiums.

Forums should be places for information and idea exchanges. Two forums are planned: one for students and one for teachers. This should broaden the cooperation on both state and international level.

Downloadable materials for teachers should be available. Teachers can download dynamic or interactive contents and use them in the classroom together with prepared printed materials for each lecture.
