Student Recordkeeping and Assessment System

Student Recordkeeping and Performance Analysis System

The network versions of the MathTutor series contain an outstanding Student Recordkeeping and Performance Analysis System. This system provides information and reports that will let teachers accurately monitor each student's use of the MathTutor software, and will give teachers greater insights into each student's strengths and weaknesses.

Student Recordkeeping Features

The recordkeeping features of the system allow teachers to monitor each student's use of the MathTutor courseware. As students use the programs, the following information is automatically stored in a file:

Student Name
Date
Lesson they are studying

Number of problems attempted
Number of problems answered correctly
Number of minutes spent in the lesson

At any time teachers will be able to view a cumulative history of the use of the MathTutor courseware by individual students, or all students in a class. The information can be seen on screen, or on a printed report. Student grades can also be generated.

Student Performance Analysis Features

Profiles of Individual Students

Additional Profiles of Student Performance

These reports provide additional, valuable information on performance of all students in a class. Teachers can see the overall distribution of the class, and where an ndividual stands in relation to the class as a whole. These reports can be seen for specific topic areas, and for overall performance in the course.

Topic Area Profile

This report analyzes topic areas, and not students. It shows teachers those topic areas in which students as a whole tend to do best and tend to do worst. All topic areas are ranked by overall class average. This information can be used to help teachers focus on better ways to present those topic areas in which students tend to have difficulty.
