Assistments

ASSISTments At our last meeting Cristina Heffernan presented to the group about the free tool, ASSISTments created by her husband, Neil Heffernan, Co-Director of Learning Sciences and Technology PhD Program at WPI. The program is a generic system for any subject but is best known for mathematics. IT blends tutoring "assistance" with "assessment" reporting for teachers. Teachers can create or enter questions from any content area (including a math textbook). Adrienne Norris, the math department head at Kennedy Middle School in Natick, joined us to share her experiences using ASSISTments. You can contact Adrienne with any followup questions at anorris@natickps.org.
