One of the most innovative educational tools in years, Maple T.A. is the
only online testing and assessment system designed specifically for technical
courses involving mathematics. We put the latest version through its paces.
An easy-to-use system that delivers tests and assignments online, so they
can be taken anywhere, anytime, Maple T.A. is a powerful, flexible tool
for anyone teaching science, engineering or maths courses. It even does
the marking for you, and automatically assesses student responses and performance.
From its very first release, Maple T.A. incorporated
the easiest and most comprehensive content authoring tools available. Version
3, which has just come out, boasts much enhanced question authoring tools,
with a new text editor that lets you include formatted maths, add images,
change font styles and use different languages.
Multiple-choice question generation
has also been enhanced, with support for response-specific feedback, and
the ability to set global rules, for example to specify that "None
of the above" always
appears last in the list.
Because Maple T.A. is powered by Maple itself, you have access
to thousands of mathematical commands and functions – and
you can include properly formatted maths in your tests and assignments.
Open-ended free-response questions, 2D and 3D plots and built-in mathematics
and randomization tools are just some of the benefits of having Maple built
into Maple T.A.
With a program like this, of course, you need a lot
of control over who sees what and how they can interact with the software.
Maple T.A. includes powerful and secure administrative and authentication
tools, all handled through your web browser, so you don’t need special
client components or a specialist knowledge of web servers. Version 3 adds
the ability to integrate Maple T.A. with your campus database for user
authentication, making class administration even easier to manage.
