The module also provides an opportunity for students to assess their own strengths and weaknesses. It also provides students with instructions to support collaborative use. The software involves the students in a number of thought provoking exercises, ranging from various questions and answers to allowing students to manipulate objects on the screen. The software engages the students in open-ended, complex problem solving. The lesson encourages students to explore and experiment by making predictions and forming hypotheses.
Student activities reflect the problem solving process as well as solutions to problems.
The software is playful and encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning. They are also able to determine their own learning needs by determining their areas of strength and limitations, which can be demonstrated by comparing activity responses to correct responses. In addition, the module not only addresses the concepts but also provides real world applications. 6 Multi-media is incorporated into the module, and with good use, including animation, video, and manipulatives.
