The Maple TA Building Block provides students and teachers with access to comprehensive testing and assessment functions of Maple TA.
Instructors can create Maple TA assignments and tests within their Blackboard courses, while requiring only a single log-in point to access both systems.
When students take a Maple TA test, the grade books of both Maple TA and Blackboard are automatically updated.
The functionality of the Maple TA Building Block enables the instructor to design each part of the course using the most appropriate tool.
Maple TA provides a complete infrastructure for creating, administering and grading free-form, online mathematics exams and assignments.
Maple TA grades assignments with the Maple engine, the most trusted software for exploring mathematics and developing mathematical applications.
Maple T.A.
liberates educational establishments from the cost, effort and limitations of traditional paper-and-pencil assessment.
It allows easy randomisation of questions to prevent cheating and encourage repetition of exercises.
It also lets teachers include free-form mathematics questions in assignments, however many students are in the class.
The Blackboard Learning System is a popular web-based server software platform that offers curriculum-driven course management, an open architecture for customisation and interoperability, and a scalable design that allows for integration with student information systems and authentication protocols.
Combined with the Maple TA Building Block and Maple TA, Blackboard is now a viable option for technical disciplines.
The course management components of Blackboard combined with the testing and assessment capabilities of Maple TA provide a fully featured system for mathematics and other technical courses.
"Our customers told us that they wanted to take advantage of the features of the Blackboard course management system, but were unwilling to give up the superior testing and assessment capabilities of Maple TA to properly test the students' knowledge of technical concepts", said Louise Krmpotic, Product Manager for Maple TA.
"The Maple TA Building Block, Blackboard and Maple TA together form the most powerful course management and testing system on the market".
The Maple TA Building Block is available for use with Maple TA Release 1.5.2 and Blackboard Learning System Release 6.
Maple TA and the Maple TA Building Block for Blackboard Learning System are supplied and supported in the UK and Ireland by Adept Scientific.
