    A publisher's site with online versions of textbooks along with supplemental material.  Several Calculus textbooks have good tools to create online homework assignments including: - Selection of individual questions from a range of sources. - Links to relevant instructional material from questions. - Immediate feedback. - Online grading. - Decent equation editor for answers. - Some MC Questions :(

    An online version of Larson's Calculus textbook.  Contains all exercises from the 6th edition with step-by-step solutions for odd-numbered problems.   Commentary: - Will provide instant feedback. - Does not track student completion.

    Observations from Student Trial: - Explanations are mostly text-based. Could be a useful review resource for some types of learners, but in general not a stand-alone teaching method. - Gives students very clear feedback on what it thinks they know/don't know. Could be very useful for focused review for a written assessment. - Automatically suggests review of topics it thinks student has forgotten.

      This page discusses how data collected by ALEKS could inform a teacher's weekly planning by indicating particular areas that students are struggling with OR highlighting new topics most students are prepared to grapple with. Again, ALEKS is presented as a system to supplement instruction and/or prepare students for future material. Unclear if it can be used for specific, guided practice of topics covered in a traditional lecture setting.

  • For example, the quantity of homework problems may be reduced, as the students will be solving problems in their ALEKS sessions.

      So, use of ALEKS is viewed as complementary to homework, not a replacement.

    An adaptive learning/assessment tool that customizes instruction for each individual. Potentially a great supplement to a course, but can it replace nightly drill-based homework?
