Visualisation Tools for Teaching in STEM
The objective is to empower STEM educators with the skills to create interactive, visually rich learning materials using mostly JSXGraph, but also trying out Desmos and GeoGebra.
➤ Intended for: STEM educators from higher education institutions
➤ ECTS credits: 3

Key Dates
Online meeting: 26. September 2025, 15:00 (GMT+3)
Online period: 26.09– 31.10.2025
On-site part: 3.–7. November 2025, Tallinn, Estonia
Why participate?
The programme fosters international collaboration around the use of visualisation in STEM education.
The aim is to highlight how visualisation supports meaningful learning, for example, when illustrating the definition of continuity or differentiability of functions, slope fields of differential equations, or the curl of a 3D vector field.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Gaining functional knowledge of mainly JSXGraph, but also Desmos and GeoGebra.
Creating and taking home reusable, self-developed interactive visual resources.
Learning how visualisation simplifies complex explanations and improves student engagement.
Exchanging teaching ideas and methods with peers from different countries.
Understanding of how visualisation can support meaningful learning in STEM education.
Connecting visualisations to digital learning platforms (e.g., Moodle + STACK).
A brief description of tools
JSXGraph – a JavaScript library for creating interactive geometry, function plots, and data visualisations in both 2D and 3D.
Desmos – an intuitive graphing calculator and platform for exploring algebraic and calculus concepts visually.
GeoGebra – a dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that combines geometry, algebra, and calculus in one environment.
