And because the exercises were autograded, this freed up the instructors and teaching assistants and they could use that time to help students one-on-one. Exercises were organized well and feedback helped the students better understand the material. The students could interact with the material and spend as much time as they needed in order to understand the concepts. So, what did the users think of this course? They found the concepts were easier to grasp because of the computational tools used. In addition, the instructors themselves gain insights on student understanding of the material. With MATLAB Grader, they were able to create online assignments, automatically grade them and offer feedback to each student. With such a large course, running each student’s code and writing feedback is an impossible task. They needed to efficiently grade assignments while offering feedback. Live Scripts are interactive documents that allow you to create a story around your code. To accomplish this, they used Live Scripts. Students needed to interact with the material and have a narrative around the code to help guide them through the material. The course materials need to allow for students to learn at their own pace. Second, learning Differential Equations online is a tall order. They used MATLAB Online as this requires no downloads or installation- you use MATLAB right in your browser. To overcome this, the course need an online solution. Creating this online course had 3 key hurdles:įirst, students needed access to MATLAB. Now, I know not everyone is not thinking of creating a Massive open online course, but the concepts and tools used here can be used for any format and any class size. This online Differential Equations course is offered by MIT through EdX and has consistently high enrollment by users worldwide. I’d like to start by showing an example of what an adaptable, student-focused course looks like. In this session, we’ll discuss various MathWorks resources that can help you achieve your learning outcomes no matter the class format. From the first lecture to the last, tools need to enhance the student experience both in the classroom and online. We need tools that can easily transition through all these modalities. The changing landscape requires us to be adaptable and robust with our teaching approaches. Universities are adopting more online, hybrid and flipped courses. Elvira Osuna-Highley and I am a Senior Customer Success Engineer at MathWorks. Today we’ll discuss various MathWorks resources for your virtual course and how to integrate these tools quickly. Welcome to this MathWorks technical webinar. Connecting MATLAB users through the Distance Learning Community.Mentoring students at scale with automated assessment and feedback in MATLAB Grader™.Empowering students to take ownership of their own learning with self-paced courses, MATLAB ® apps, and interactive programming using Live Scripts.Challenging students using real-world problems with hardware, IoT, MATLAB Online™, and Simulink ®.We will discuss several resources, including: In this webinar, you will learn about tools that encourage self-driven learning and cloud-based tools that afford instructors and students anytime, anywhere access to their course content. MathWorks continues to provide resources to educate the next generation of engineers and scientists by developing tools to support instructors as they adapt to the changing landscape of education. These teaching modalities require educators to redesign their courses and adopt new tools that will support student learning. To continue to meet the ever-increasing demand for graduates with strong technical and problem-solving skills, universities have adopted more online, hybrid, and flipped courses.
