Using electronic exams to provide engineering mathematics students with rapid feedback (2016)
Book Chapter
Henderson, K., Gwynllyw, R., & Hooper, A. (2016). Using electronic exams to provide engineering mathematics students with rapid feedback. In D. Velichova, T. Gustafsson, U. Dinger, & B. Alpers (Eds.), The 18th SEFI Mathematics Working Group Seminar on Mathematics in Engineering Education Proceedings (105-111). SEFI European Society for Engineering Education

With increased sophistication and capabilities of e-Assessment systems it would seem that online examinations will become standard practice, particularly for numerate subjects, in the near future. We have gained valuable experience in this area thro... Read More about Using electronic exams to provide engineering mathematics students with rapid feedback.

Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability (2015)
Book Chapter
Weir, I., Gwynllyw, R., & Henderson, K. (2015). Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability. In IATED (Ed.), Edulearn15 Proceedings. IATED

In this paper we illustrate how we have used technology to teach and efficiently assess statistics within a Level 2 research skills module delivered to Business School students. The student cohort was a large diverse group of non-mathematicians and t... Read More about Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability.
