Using technology to develop formative assessment resources for first year undergraduate modules.

Abstract

This project concerns the development of formative assessment techniques which aim to improve the teaching and learning experience of first year undergraduate mathematics modules. The work in our project has two main components: firstly we are creating formative assessment tools for use in the classroom; secondly, we are developing interactive tasks which can be used by students to monitor their own progress and we will further support this progress with the provision of online resources. This paper reports on the progress to date of each of these aforementioned components
