Learning with Learnvia

For your trial, you’ll have access to a few modules, each devoted to a calculus topic (like “Derivatives and the tangent problem.” Each module includes 3-6 lesson activity and ends with a homework activity:

• Lesson Activities (15 minutes each) include brief text, a short video, and 10-15 questions, within the text and videos, all with feedback.  You’ll receive credit for correctly completing Lesson Activity questions. You'll have unlimited attempts, and can get hints without penalty

• Homework Activity (20 minutes) has 10-15 questions that are autograded upon submission. Credit is awarded for each correctly completed question. You’ll get unlimited attempts; if you can’t finish a question, you can see a solution without penalty – we’ll then generate a new question for you to try again.

• Self-quiz Activity (20 minutes) has 10-15 questions that are autograded when you submit. Credit is awarded for attempting a question. You’ll get unlimited attempts. Solutions are visible after completion. New questions will be generated for each attempt.

Completion is always recorded, but your score only counts work done before the due date.

To help us improve these materials for future students, we need your feedback! Please make extensive use of the Feedback button throughout every module so that we can improve.  Our team actively monitors feedback and often uses it to make updates in days or even hours.

The Learnvia AI Tutor is always available on the right side of the screen, ready to answer questions.  We hope you’ll use it frequently – it’s there to help! Discussion forums are also there, for chats with your classmates, questions for your instructor or comments on specific lessons.
