Project description
Mathematics teaching traditionally spends a relatively large amount of time assessing. The Webworks online assessment and corrections system reduces the necessity for assessment during classroom hours. This frees up time in the classroom for a deeper exploration of the subject matter.

Goals
– To spend less time grading tests
– To spend more time exploring the subject matter with students
– To give better feedback and to quickly spot problems with the subject matter or learning strategies
Results
The tool provides useful output concerning the questions:
- Has the question been answered?
- How many attempts did it take?
- Which questions appear difficult?
This means the available classroom teaching time can be used to specifically address the topics that students have found challenging. Students don’t necessarily feel stimulated by Webworks, but they do feel better prepared for the exam.
