Case Study: Abu Dhabi University boosts Maths engagement with Pearson MyLab Math

Abu Dhabi University uses Pearson MyLab Math to power 30-mark case studies and 20% homework grading

The instructor Samah Abu Siyam at Abu Dhabi University sought to shift mathematics learning from a teacher-centred to a more student-centred experience. Using Pearson's MyLab Math platform integrated across several courses, the challenge was to enhance student engagement and understanding, particularly by connecting theoretical concepts to real-life applications and streamlining the assessment process.

The solution implemented by Pearson involved leveraging MyLab Math for in-class practice, homework, quizzes, and case studies, which provided automated grading and immediate feedback. This allowed for tailored assessments and saved instructional time. The results included increased student engagement and independent learning, with homework constituting 20% of the final grade and specific courses incorporating 30 marks from case studies to effectively measure applied understanding.
