STEM2020 - Technology-based numeracy training for everyone: A partnership between the University of Derby and Vretta

Many professionals and students in higher education (even those in STEM subjects) struggle to perform tasks involving numerical calculations in a practical context. To support its learners, the University of Derby has partnered with Vretta, an award winning educational technology company based in Canada. Following a pilot project implemented in 2018-19 within the College of Engineering and Technology, we used the innovative “Elevate my Maths” platform to develop 12 numeracy courses. In this talk we briefly present our implementation, the impact on the mathematics achievement for students from a wide range of subjects, and the feedback received from users.
