Adaptive Courseware for Interactive Teaching
MathWorks MATLAB offers educators a platform to adapt interactive teaching materials that can be easily modified through live scripts. These courseware materials have been developed by MathWorks and other educators, providing flexibility and engagement in teaching technical concepts.
Industry-Specific Documentation and Examples
Educators can guide students in understanding technical concepts using industry-specific examples and apps built right into MATLAB. This feature allows for a practical approach to teaching abstract concepts, enabling students to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios.
MATLAB Grader for Efficient Assessments
MATLAB Grader offers a scalable solution for assessments by automatically grading MATLAB coding assignments. This tool can be integrated into learning management systems that support the Learning Tools Interoperability standard, streamlining the assessment process for educators.
Enhanced Learning with Executable Notebooks
The Live Editor in MATLAB allows educators to create scripts that combine code, equations, and formatted text. This feature enables students to create lab reports and electronic lab notebooks using MATLAB code, facilitating the documentation of workflows, data analysis, and figure generation.
Hands-On Learning with Hardware Support
MATLAB and Simulink support popular low-cost hardware like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STMicroelectronics, and Texas Instruments, enabling hands-on learning experiences. Students can engage in creating projects using these hardware platforms, enhancing their practical skills and expertise.
Virtual Labs with Customizable Apps
Educators can utilize existing apps within MATLAB and Simulink to create virtual laboratories for students or design custom apps using App Designer. This empowers students to experiment and learn engineering concepts without the need for extensive coding or software-specific skills.
Cloud-Based Collaboration and Access
With MATLAB Online, educators and students can access MATLAB and Simulink directly in a web browser without any downloads or installations. Additionally, MATLAB Drive allows for easy storage and sharing of course material and assignments online, enhancing collaboration and accessibility.
Training Courses for Educators and Students
MathWorks offers specialized training courses for educators, covering topics like creating interactive scripts, sharing content, helping students learn MATLAB, assessing students, and transitioning to cloud-based tools. Students can also benefit from interactive online tutorials assigned as part of their coursework.
Community Engagement and Practical Applications
Educators and students using MATLAB and Simulink can connect with the global community via MATLAB Central, where they can find answers, share code, and stay updated on innovative uses of MATLAB and Simulink. This engagement extends to student projects, workforce development, and practical applications in engineering and science.
