Case Study: Polytechnical Institute of Noordelijke Hogeschool Leeuwarden achieves improved engineering final test results with Maplesoft Maple T.A.

nhl boosts engineering final test pass rates to 95% with Maplesoft

The Polytechnical Institute of Noordelijke Hogeschool Leeuwarden (NHL) sought to improve the disappointing final test results of its engineering students in mathematics. To address this challenge, the institution partnered with Maplesoft to implement its Maple T.A. online testing and assessment system, providing students with a flexible way to practice and evaluate their math skills.

Using Maplesoft's Maple T.A., NHL introduced a series of randomized online math exercises that provided immediate feedback, allowing students to practice at their own pace. The solution automated assessment and enabled instructors to cover more material. The results were significant, with 95% of students who regularly used the exercises passing their final tests, a marked improvement over results from five years prior. Maplesoft's product also saved instructors considerable grading time, contributing to a more participative teaching system.
