Product Information: For Instructors

We recently hosted an online conference, where instructors who currently use Mastering gave presentations on a number of different topics you might find interesting. You can access these presentations here.

Used by over a million science students, the Mastering platform is the most effective and widely used online tutorial, homework, and assessment system for the sciences.

MasteringPhysics:

  • Individualizes tutoring
  • Improves learning and grades
  • Provides insight into student performance
  • Easily captures data to demonstrate assessment outcomes

  • Screen capture of MasteringPhysics tutorialMasteringPhysics tutorials guide students through the toughest topics in physics with self-paced tutorials that provide individualized coaching. These assignable, in-depth tutorials are designed to coach students with hints and feedback specific to their individual misconceptions.
  • Screen shot of simulation from PhET Group at University of Colorado - BoulderMasteringPhysics helps students make connections to the real world using interactive research-based simulations from the PhET Group at University of Colorado - Boulder.
  • Image of ActivePhysics appletA comprehensive library of tried and tested ActivePhysics applets is designed to encourage students to confront misconceptions, reason qualitatively, experiment quantitatively, and learn to think critically.
  • Graph depicting number of incorrect responses from a prepared group of students versus an unprepared group of studentsMasteringPhysics is the only online physics homework system with research showing that it improves student learning. A wide variety of published papers based on NSF-sponsored research and independent tests illustrate the benefits of MasteringPhysics.
  • Image of color-coded gradebook in MasteringFind out how your students are doing before the first exam: the color-coded gradebook instantly identifies students in trouble and challenging topics for your class as a whole.
  • Graph depicting student answersAssessment you can use: easily captures data to demonstrate assessment outcomes.

 

“It's clear my students are spending more time on homework as a result of MasteringPhysics.

It's also much easier for the instructor than the system we had been using.”
