  1. Adaptive learning in MyMathLabCustomizing your course and student experience Course Redesign Feb. 28th, 2014

  2. Adaptive Learning in MyMathLab • Monitor’s student performance • Provides personalized recommendations • Gains information about learning preferences (audio, text) • Guides student through contents of study plan, objective at a time …. • Individualized learning path!

  3. The process • In the study plan, student does practice exercises. • Student can complete assessments from instructor, too. • Student completes “Quiz Me” to check understanding. • These results are used to recommend the next objective • Student is more engaged; balance of areas student is good with & areas of difficulty; personal feedback

  4. Getting started….a student’s perspective

  5. Thumb tacks=work to do!I aced Chapter 9!

  6. Implementation • Adopted Knewton Fall 2012 in conjunction with updated curriculum • Students used software if they wanted to; anecdotal feedback positive; usage varied from minutes to 20+ hours! • Spring 2013 : Continued ‘advertisement’ • Summer & Fall 2013: increased student usage • of Study Plan; fine-tuned course settings • Required Study Plan in Spring 2014!

  7. Results. • *Reduction in math anxiety reported by students. • Tests AY 13-14 • *Slight increase in mean; reduced variability • Fall 13-Spring 14 Test 1 Test 2

  8. Finals • Fall 2012: 66.4 % average on final (3 sections) • Spring 2013: 73.6% average on final (2 sections) • Fall 2013: 78% average on final (2 sections)

  9. Student comments • “I like the fact that I can practice over and over. And it tells me what I need to work on” • “It drives me nuts trying to meet the mastery level so I can take my test. But then I do better, so it’s worth it!” • “I appreciate the practice, and I’m not as afraid of math now. I know what I do and don’t know.”

  10. Thoughts from Faculty *If the study plan isn’t set up correctly, it won’t work well! *We appreciate the fine-tuning & tracking; gives student and faculty feedback *It takes time & encouragement & explanation to teach students (and faculty!) how to use it properly.
