Goals
Being able to teach students with different levels in a differentiated group through flipping the classroom:
- Students can prepare the material online which results during in more time for questions and interaction during lectures.
- Providing extra support to help students understanding the learning material
- Students who have difficulty with calculations can work at their own pace

Results
The use of Livescribe / Pencast has been positively assessed by both the teacher and students:
- ‘I want to let students experience what it’s like to really understand something’
- ‘I can skip the basics during lectures, so that I can deal with the more difficult matters more extensively.’
- Very low threshold for both the teacher and the student
