Local and Overall Similarities in Educational Design

Increased rate of exam failure in mathematics is observed at many educational institutions in the last years. Various approaches have been applied to resolve that problem. Some of them like e-learning methodologies and intelligent tutoring systems are more technologically oriented while others focus on face to face communications and group study techniques. In this work we consider a way to adjust teaching set up by involving students’ recommendations and requests in the educational design.
