Scenarios for Adaptive Testing

Maple T.A. offers opportunities for creating adaptive scenarios in testing that can be used for both formative and summative testing. In a formative setting, a student can be taken through the process of solving a problem step by step. Whilst in a summative setting the student gets the chance to show what parts of the problem he masters, if it turns out that he is not successful in solving the problem completely in the first attempt. In addition, the use of Maple T.A. in a game about 'Dynamics' will be discussed. This involves the use of adaptive assignments.
