With Maple T.A.
Easy content creation
- Step-by-step Question Designer for easy creation of a wide variety of questions
- Over 14 question types and 20 sub-types, including Maple-graded, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, clickable image, and numeric with margins of error
- Easy-to-use editor to add formatting, images, plots, and special characters to questions
- Assignment Editor for creating and customizing assignments
Mathematical questions
- Numeric and symbolic questions
- Free-response questions that are graded for mathematical equivalence
- Open-ended questions that can have infinitely many answers
- Natural math notation in question text and student entry
- Full equation editor support
- Questions can contain plots based on the randomized values in the question
- When appropriate, students can see a plot of their response before submission
Algorithmic questions
- Randomized variables, so one question template becomes hundreds of different questions, each respecting the problem constraints
- Generate plots using randomized variables, so a custom plot appears in each generated question
- Quickly generate practice problems for students
- Encourages productive collaboration by requiring students to discuss methods, not just share the final answer
Automatic grading
- Provide practice problems and assignments to your students without increasing your grading time and effort
- Questions are automatically graded by the system, including the mathematical free-response questions
- Assignment results are automatically recorded in the Gradebook
- Results and feedback are available immediately to students
Analysis of results
- Gradebook captures student results for individual assignments and questions within an assignment
- Built-in tools provide statistical analysis of results, from the student, assignment and question point of view, so you can get the results you want in the form you need
- Review results in tabular or graphic format
- Weighting for different assignments
- Supports multiple export formats: csv, ExcelŽ, XML
Authentication and administration
- Authentication via LDAP allows you to integrate Maple T.A. with your campus database for user authentication, making class administration easy to manage
