Modularized Learning Objects: Short units of active learning, recall and inline assessment

Assessment of understanding is immediate and continuous

Adaptive course progression allows individual learning paths

Learning ‘Break-Downs’ can be automatically identified and flagged for improvement

Effectiveness of online materials can be measured and continuously improved – Data driven feedback loop

Education Trends– E-Education Using digital resources to teach concepts

E-Education

Built On the Notion That Students Learn by Doing

STEM concepts are often abstract and/or difficult to conceptualize

Students need to work with concepts to fully understand them

Truly Integrated Learning

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Exploring concepts
Page 7: Mobius from Maplesoft

Exploration: Students can interact and explore the concept and are then tested on their understanding, ensuring active recall of the concept presented.

Students can move through the material at their own pace

Mathematical objects

A full 2D math Equation Editor is always available to students to answer questions, explore concepts and record their work. The math is live and context sensitive. If permitted by the instructor, students can perform mathematical operations such as solve, simply, plot, factor, etc. Student’s work can be captured to allow partial marks. The Equation Editor is also available in all communication tools (I2S, S2I, S2S etc.).
