New web-based tools

Particular interest in multistep problem-solving
 
  • Learner-centred activities complement lecture examples More
    • Students take a more active role in learning
    • Insights are best delivered just as the learner has tried to think about or engage with the concept
    • Problem: One-on-one tutorials are VERY staff intensive.
     
  • Aimed to simulate paper-and-pencil solving problems  More 
    • using multichoice and text-enter questions (the only tools available)
    • with lots of feedback at intermediate steps
    • Problem: Limited to one interaction per page - took lots of pages - too drawn out!
