Imagine that each of your students had their own personal tutor. A tutor who could:
It sounds expensive, right? But imagine that this solution were available at no additional cost to you or the university and yet it still made your job easier.
This is where Perdisco e-workbooks come in.
An e-workbook is an online study resource designed to offer students virtual, real-time tutoring. In the past, your experience with e-learning might have involved banks of multiple-choice questions. Our content is different.
Just like face-to-face tutoring, our e-workbooks require students to solve multi-part problems and make recommendations based on their findings, just as they will do in the real world.
And like a personal tutor, e-workbooks explain to students why their answers are correct or incorrect by showing step-by-step solutions and providing comprehensive academic feedback. Students' scores for each topic are recorded to track their individual performance and help them focus their study. Instructors can also access this information throughout the semester to see how their students are going.
E-workbooks can also be used to deliver automated assessment tasks throughout the semester. Each student is presented with slightly different questions, to limit the risk of students copying answers. And the questions change dynamically before the students' eyes depending on how they've answered previous questions.
Assessment tasks can be submitted online from anywhere, providing immediate feedback to students and instantly reporting results to instructors. This method of learning has proven results, with some courses achieving up to four times as many distinction grades after adopting our e-workbooks.
