Personalize the learning process
The math assistant personalizes learning in many ways. A vital part of personalized learning is providing timely feedback specific to learners’ individual needs. By telling learners immediately if a solution is right or wrong, OneNote accelerates the learning process. Learners are empowered to meet their own learning needs and supported throughout the process.
In a Class Notebook, educators see learners working in real time and provide support right on the page. If a learner is struggling with an equation, an educator can quickly insert the steps to the solution on the same page. To meet the individual needs of a learner, an educator may customize the solution or message. This process allows learners to get extra help without feeling embarrassed. Educators can even add audio messages to further personalize the learning process.
