Intromath is a digitally interactive mathematics learning and assessment platform and homework management system. It is designed for a wide variety of streams of mathematics and statistics for business, finance, hospitality, tourism, technology, health sciences, and academic upgrading programs. The platform contains state-of-the art mathematics resources including assignments, quizzes, interactive learning simulations, e-textbooks, test banks, multimedia slide-decks, solution manuals, data visualizations and powerful administrative features to customize the teaching and learning experience with a strong alignment to the course curriculum requirements.
Intromath was designed as an assessment for learning platform that allows students to work before class, during class, and after class. This unique structure ensures that students are prepared, engaged, and have the tools to progress at their own pace toward success in their mathematics courses.
The solution manuals are available online for instructors and students. They contain solutions to problems using detailed step-by-step methods as demonstrated in the solved examples present in the textbook. The manuals are in a word format and can be downloaded and modified by instructors as required.
The instructor manuals contain detailed solutions to every section exercise, review exercise, and self-test exercise problem.
The student manuals contain detailed solutions to the odd numbered section exercise and review exercise problems. The manuals also contain detailed solutions to every self-test exercise problem.
The interactive lessons provide students with a unique assessment for learning experience. Through a step-by-step, mastery-based approach, students understand core concepts. The lessons contain numerous pedagogies that break-down concepts into micro-steps that help students to visualize, conceptualize, and enjoy the learning process.
The lessons are modular in nature and can be customized to a large degree based on the learning plan of each instructor or the course. Students will be required to unlock (master) key concepts, through built-in feedback mechanisms, before they sequentially proceed to understanding higher level concepts. This mastery-based approach has not only proven to help students to review concepts before tests and exams but also to prepare them prior to attending class.
Through an intuitive administration panel, instructors have the ability to select and customize lessons. They can set start and close dates, provide date extensions for individual students or for the entire class, set, download, or override marks. They can also view their student or class performance on any concept to tailor the in-class focus on concepts with which students are experiencing difficulties. This method has successfully proven to increase student retention and success at numerous academic institutions across the country.
Harris Learning Solutions assessments are designed to not only test students but also to teach them to solve problems using intuitive methods, illustrations, and pedagogies. The assessments contain interactive timelines, problems that are algorithmically generated, options to learn using alternative methods, and related reference links to concepts in the e-textbooks and lessons.
In addition to providing students with the ability for unlimited practice on each question, the assessments contain unique features such as the provision for students to “Check My Answer”, “Ask My Professor”, and also receive dynamic feedback based on the entered answer. The assessments are built using an intelligent logic that provides students with an experience that is as close as possible to a real test. For example, in addition to unique error tolerances, if a student enters an incorrect answer by making a minor error (but has used the correct method to solve the problem), the system will recognize this and provide the student with a partial mark based on the extent of correctness.
The online assignments can be customized by the instructors or administrators to create a secure and accessible assessment environment for hosting tests and exams.The online test and exam settings have been developed to provide a high level of security. Features such as setting a password, restricting feedback and marks, and questions shuffling, can be activated to minimize student collaboration.
