Mapúa University and its subsidiaries, Malayan Colleges Laguna and Malayan Colleges Mindanao, premier technology and engineering institutions based in the Philippines, have chosen McGraw Hill’s ALEKS adaptive learning software and Connect digital platform to enhance the learning experiences of students in Engineering, Chemistry, Mathematics, Psychology, Accounting and other course areas. The two programs will be made available to nearly 6,000 Mapúa University students in the academic year 2020-2021, representing the latest step in Mapúa University’s ongoing efforts to deliver world-class online lectures and laboratory courses.
For more than 20 years, McGraw Hill ALEKS has helped educators in Math and Chemistry to focus in on which topics students understand and which topics they need help with, empowering teachers to deliver the most effective instruction possible. Built on the theory of ‘knowledge spaces’ from cognitive science, Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS) uses artificial intelligence to create personalised and dynamic learning paths for K-20 students based on their individual needs. ALEKS has served more than 20 million students at thousands of K-12 schools, colleges and universities throughout the world.
McGraw Hill’s Connect platform is a digital learning solution that also offers the course management and adaptive learning solution SmartBook 2.0, which creates a new reading experience for students. Using SmartBook 2.0, each student can better identify topics that they already know and also learn new topics through the technology’s ability to understand topics they’re ready to learn next. The software also measures the length of time each student spends on assessment and creates questions that evaluate the student’s understanding of a certain concept.
