Attendees will hear from pioneering users in e-learning who have successfully implemented these technologies.
The Summit will also provide an opportunity for attendees to network with other educators, hear from long-time users of Maplesoft’s testing and assessment tool, Maple T.A., learn about the latest features in the product, and receive comprehensive training from product developers.
The keynote speakers at this year’s event represent the University of Waterloo and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). The University of Waterloo has completed groundbreaking work in using technology tools to offer online courses and programs for students. Earlier this year, UW and Maplesoft jointly announced the launch of an open online secondary school courseware site for high school students, which is freely accessible to students and teachers worldwide. The MAA’s research into learning and effective curriculum has provided outstanding content that, when paired with Maplesoft’s delivery system, results in online placement tests that make it easy to place incoming students in the right level of math courses, giving students a smooth transition into university academics.
Maplesoft has, for nearly 30 years, developed and refined technology tools that aid in improving teaching and learning. Jim Cooper, President and CEO of Maplesoft, will outline the company’s vision for the use of technology in education, with particular focus on Science, Engineering and other Math based technical courses. Maplesoft developers will showcase the company’s technology tools and provide a peek into what is on the roadmap. User presentations from diverse regions such as US, Canada, Italy and Netherlands will illustrate how leading universities around the world have taken advantage of Maplesoft technology to improve teaching, enhance student learning and enrich classroom experiences.
“Technology savvy students and incredibly easy to use technology tools are steering schools and faculty to offer courses in an online environment,” said Cooper. “Increased number of students, blended learning environments and reduced cost are reasons to consider and choose e-learning opportunities. Maplesoft continues to empower educators to succeed in this new teaching environment through technology tools for interactive classrooms. Maplesoft’s technologies allow students to explore rich online math-based visualizations and applications, and test their knowledge with intuitive tools that understand mathematics. The Maple T.A. Summit will be a perfect venue to hear how students and educators are quickly adapting these technologies and listen to their vision for their classrooms. ”
