Case Study: University of Canterbury delivers innovative online math courses with Maple T.A. from Maplesoft

University of Canterbury improves student learning with Maplesoft as 80%+ of students rate Maple T.A. valuable

The University of Canterbury faced a major disruption when a significant earthquake struck, halting on-campus classes and threatening the delivery of its mathematics courses. To continue teaching, the university needed a way to quickly provide structured, remote learning and assessment for its students, which it achieved by using Maple T.A. from vendor Maplesoft.

Maplesoft's solution involved using Maple T.A. to create weekly online learning modules that provided students with instant feedback and the flexibility to practice as many times as needed. This approach resulted in more than 80% of students finding it a valuable learning aid, a significant improvement in pass rates for weaker students, and a considerable reduction in marking loads for tutors, allowing the university to successfully deliver its full academic program.
