Now that the world’s leading
educational tool Mathletics Student has already been launched on iPad, it is
believed that young learners will definitely enjoy studying more as a result. According
to a recent study by 3P Learning, the motivating force behind Mathletics, two
out of three students can access a hand-held device in their home by 2015 since
tablet computers are quickly becoming the ideal medium for teaching. With that,
the Mathletics Student App is expected to entice more students with its wide-ranging
collection of course outlines and evaluations.
Also, Mathletics has a collection of
reporting and lesson-building tools that are very helpful to teachers and
parents. Designed for the students’ respective skills and ability
ranging from the age of 4-18, a combination of online games, eBooks, syllabus
activities and videos are generated for an entirely engaging learning
environment.
Harry Ohlsen, Head of
the Mobile Development at 3P Learning, said that "The app is a world first
in e-learning. Packing our student interface, extensive curriculum content and
a brand new version of Live Mathletics into a tablet involved significant
technical challenges. We wanted to go beyond simply making Mathletics
work on an iPad, just a website on a tablet - that's not our way. Our user
interface, graphic design and back-end teams all put in 110% over many months
to make this a reality. We hope students enjoy using the app as much as
we enjoyed building it!"
On the other hand, Tim
Power, Managing Director of 3P Learning, declared "Mathletics has long
since ridden the wave of gamification, advancing beyond it to pioneer what we
call the "learnification of gaming". With the advancements in
Mathletics as well as our upcoming developments too, this is a real
next-generation release. We're going far beyond simply using game environments
as a means to engage students. We are creating immersive worlds of learning for
our schools, using the latest technology along the way. The iPad app is just
another way we are achieving this.”
As an accomplishment,
Mathletics has already been declared winner of numerous major awards for
innovation since its establishment back in 2006. Currently, over 2 million
students in more than 150 countries use Mathletics. According to
Heraldonline.com, over 15 billion questions and curriculum activities have been
completed by the students online.
Mathletics
Student is now available in the iTunes App Store where it can be downloaded for
free. Students are required to have an existing Mathletics account or subscription
in order to launch the application. Meanwhile, a sister app for Android tablets is reportedly
scheduled for a release soon.
