Although much has been written about learning in online discussion, the research literature reveals the need for further empirical research to be carried out.  For example, the use of online discussion is often seen as a means by which students can engage in a socially constructivist approach to learning, (Pena-Shaff et al., 2005; Hudson et al., 2006; Schrire, 2006) whilst others raise questions about the depth of engagement and the preparedness to learn in this socially constructivist context (Hawkey, 2003; Roberts and Lund, 2007).  The need to gain further understanding of learning through discussion is raised by Ravenscroft (2005); McConnell (2006); Goodyear and Ellis (2008).  This study adds to empirical research by exploring students’ engagement with online discussion at an individual and course level. Two key research questions are: What are the different approaches taken by students when responding to learning activities which ask them to engage in online discussion?  What are students’ perceptions of how their engagement in online discussion impacts on their learning and the learning of others?  The study is qualitative, phenomenographic in nature drawing on six case studies of Higher Education students’ engagement with online discussion.  A rich set of empirical data is gathered within the case studies.  A grounded approach to data collection and analysis is used, including the analysis of interview data in order to hear the students’ voices about their experiences.  The findings from the analysis of the case studies reveal different strategies that students use when engaging in online discussion, and diverse students’ views of learning through online discussion, even from within the same course context.  A framework for learning through online discussion emerges from the discussion.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo relatar el papel que juega el uso de un Sistema de Álgebra Computacional (CAS) en el marco de la experiencia de innovación en un curso de integración en una y varias variables, Matemática B, destinado a alumnos del segundo semestre de primer año de las carreras de Ingeniería. El material de trabajo conformado por una parte impresa y otra digital constituye uno de los ejes centrales de la innovación. El material digital presentado en CD acompaña al impreso y está constituido por talleres que suponen la utilización del "sistema de álgebra computacional", Maple. Se describen las causas que motivaron la modificación de las materias de Matemática tanto en contenidos como en metodología de la enseñanza y que fueron incorporadas en la reforma de los planes de estudio de las carreras de Ingeniería. Se dan los fundamentos para la construcción del material de trabajo, detallándose con más detalle el material digital. Se presentan algunas conclusiones y la comparación del rendimiento académico de los alumnos de Matemática B del año 2006 (plan nuevo) con los de Análisis Matemático III del 2003 (plan anterior). Se dejan planteadas algunas alternativas para continuar con el análisis de la experiencia.
