Building the future of problem set-based learning
An online problem solving platform designed to help students achieve greater understanding through interactive problem solving.
Builds on the traditional pen-and-paper problem set paradigm, introducing instant feedback and (optional) ladder hints.
Three types of solutions to questions are available. Numerical and algebraic solutions are evaluated directly. Document upload is available for diagrammatic and text based solutions.
Check your solutions instantly to confirm your problem solving strategy is correct and allow you to re-evaluate your approach when required.
(Optional) question hints linking to course material, diagrams, videos, interactive plots and simulations are available.
Hints and additional background information help reinforce key concepts and provide a constructive framework for introducing and tackling advanced concepts.
At the same time, the click-to-reveal nature of the hints means that if you feel confident in tackling the questions, you can do so without the additional help.
Hints can optionally be time-locked to allow time to reflect on the problem before seeking additional help.
In addition to the direct benefits for learners, problemsetlab reduces the burden of marking work allowing educators to focus their time on improving students' learning experience.
