Recording Date: 2/6/14 Presenter: Luke Walsh A modular approach to redesign is a perfect fit for the tools and features found in Enhanced WebAssign (EWA). In this session, we will explore the powerful resources found in EWA, showing how simple they are to implement for instructors and keep students engaged and elevated in their thinking. Come learn how to harness the power of EWA and get your developmental math students learning math, not just doing math.

14. 16 Week Seated Course VS 2 Day Transition
• Enrolling students happens 4 times a
semester
• Courses need to be set up 4 times a
semester
• This potential chaos is a smooth transition
because of EWA

17. Great for teachers and students
• EWA can save time for teachers but what
can it do for students?
• How can EWA enhance a module course?

18. Quality Screen Time?
Online math,
really?

19. Quality Class Time
Umm, I’m not in
5th grade any
more!

20. The Power of Enhanced WebAssign
• Enhanced WebAssign is
a tool that engages
students in and outside
the classroom.
• EWA gets students
learning math not just
doing math.

24. Provide More, They Do More

25. EWA Efficacy Study
Noteworthy Results:
• Students overwhelmingly
indicated they valued the
Watch It component as the
most important learning tool.
• 7 out of 10 students using EWA
said they were more motivated
to learn and completed practice
problems on their own even
if not assigned or graded.

26. EWA Efficacy Study
Noteworthy Results:
• Students using EWA received
higher final course grades than
students in similar courses
without access to EWA.
• Twice as many (50% more)
students using EWA received a
final “A” grade for the course as
those without access to EWA.

27. Take EWA to the limit!
EWA has
thousands of
pre-programmed
questions but
you can easily
add your own if
you want.

28. Creating your own.

29. Easily Personalize Your Course

30. Learn the math, not just do the math
• Provide developmental students other
opportunities to explore math, so that they
can see that just doing the math is not the
main goal.
• Challenge myself: “How can EWA motivate
and engage students to learn the math?”

31. “Be all you can be in the PSP!”

32. Inside the Personal Study Plan

33. Personal Study Plan Settings

34. Personalize Instructions

35. The PSP is more than just math.
• The study plan can
help a developmental
student
– build their confidence
of math
– create a positive
learning experience
– help reduce their math
anxiety

36. The Power of Reports

37. Search and See How Others Use EWA
After setting up my WebAssign to
take attendance, I no longer have to
ask my students about their
absences or being late and the
majority of my students approach
me to explain the situation and
inquire about the work they missed.
