Studienstart.de – our web-based pre-course in mathematics for engineering students

In this lightning talk we will summarise our experiences made with University preparation in web-based self-study environments since 2013 at the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg Mannheim (Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University Mannheim). The course concept comprises a diagnostic pre-test, learning modules, animations, exercises, and a final self-assessment. In this setting, different question types (e.g. SC, MC, cloze, STACK) are used in tests and training sessions, each question providing feedback and detailed sample solutions. Moreover, the e-tutored version of the course is supervised by lecturers who correct additional weekly exercises (consisting of more complicated exercises and proofs). We will explain our course program and give an overview of our evaluation results of the past seven years.
