Gateway module support at scale
Large first-year modules decide who progresses. Weekly tutorial tests with feedback give every student practice before the exam, without adding marking hours.
Gateway modules such as first-year calculus and physics enrol hundreds, sometimes thousands, of students. Tutorials are hard to staff, marking takes weeks, and feedback arrives after the class has moved on.
How it works
- 1
Set weekly tutorial tests as pathways
Each week's tutorial becomes a pathway, with questions and a mark scheme from the lecturer.
- 2
Students submit and get feedback
Answers are marked against the lecturer's memo, on the working as well as the final answer, and feedback comes back with the marks.
- 3
Help between tutorials
When students get stuck, the tutor gives hints, not answers.
- 4
Teach the gaps
Insights show what the class got wrong, so the next tutorial starts there.
