MSOR Workshop Reports

The workshop began with a demonstration of the Mathletics package which is a set of web-based tests designed to give students the opportunity to practice their maths skills with the advantage of immediate feedback including worked solutions. After a brief introduction Martin Greenhow the author of the package started the session in a computing lab giving the group the opportunity to experience Mathletics first hand. A powerful tool available is the analysis of tests. Mathletics allows you to identify both individual and group weaknesses in a particular area allowing suggested further study to students and lecturers quickly and easily.
