Overview
OWLv2 is an all-in-one online learning solution for Chemistry that delivers an eTextbook, multimedia learning activities, auto-graded assessments, and analytics through an accessible platform. It supports you whether teaching synchronous or asynchronous courses, during-class and outside of class, and whether you teach in-person, hybrid, or fully online. You can integrate it into your Learning Management System with automatic grade return. Developed by chemists, OWLv2 elevates thinking through Mastery Learning, empowering students to work at their own pace to understand each concept and skill. It does this better than other digital products through algorithmic question randomization, high-quality question authoring, instant and question-specific feedback, and powerful analytics. The randomization of three factors: chemical, numerical, and contextual, creates thousands of unique questions and ensures that no two students get the same question, and neither does a single student taking subsequent attempts.
- A pre-built Laddered Assessment course template organizes the various activity types within OWLv2 by topic. This organization supports conceptual learning by grouping together the different types of activities into one place. You simply assign the concepts you plan to teach, and then your students can focus on mastering one concept at a time, with all the support OWLv2 offers along the way.
- Mastery Learning Problems contain sets of questions associated with specific concepts or skills, where students must meet a threshold of correct answers to proceed. In these unique problems, chemicals, numbers, and context change with each attempt to ensure student mastery. This design allows your students to practice, receive robust feedback, and understand the underlying chemical concepts.
- Tutorials, Simulations and Visual Exercises are interactive, media-rich problems designed to introduce new concepts to your students by providing guidance, and supporting step-by-step problem-solving skills.
- End-of-chapter Practice Problems that match the textbook are available in OWLv2. These problems are randomized and include detailed feedback and solutions to help your students prepare for exams.
- OWLv2 offers access to a mobile-compatible eTextbook, which includes all textbook content, plus multimedia and note-taking capabilities.
- The Quick Prep activity helps students review fundamental skills and concepts at the start of the semester, as well as Adaptive Study Plans, which offer a helpful review and summary of the topics in a chapter.
