This presentation by Jonathan Watkins of Maplesoft and the University of Birmingham was given to the Eduserv Maths and Stats Software Focus Group in June 2016. Möbius is a comprehensive online courseware environment that focuses on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). students can explore important concepts using engaging, interactive applications, visualize problems and solutions, and test their understanding by answering questions that are graded instantly.
7. Exploration: Students can interact and explore the concept and are then tested on
their understanding, ensuring active recall of the concept presented.
Students can
move through
the material at
their own pace
8. A full 2D math Equation Editor is always available to students to answer questions,
explore concepts and record their work. The math is live and context sensitive. If
permitted by the instructor, students can perform mathematical operations such as
solve, simply, plot, factor, etc. Student’s work can be captured to allow partial marks.
The Equation Editor is also available in all communication tools (I2S, S2I, S2S etc.).
9. Exercises and Evaluation: Interactivity can be combined with randomized testing and
assessment to ensure that students engage with the topic and to determine the
student’s level of comprehension of the concept.
