Digital Tools to Support Numeracy
If your students struggle to understand and apply the mathematical aspects of their module or course, or could benefit from on-demand support to help develop their understanding of mathematical concepts, we have digital solutions that are already widely used across UK HE institutions to support and enhance existing provision.

Newcastle University
This study shows how MyLab Math supported the instructor, delivering a positive teaching and learning experience - building a strong foundation and increasing confidence in mathematics for science students.
Smarthinking’s on-demand, online tutor service can help ensure all your students have 24/7 access to expert academic support with the mathematical requirements in their assignments.
Through an easy-to-use platform that can be accessed via your VLE or an App, any student who needs a quick response to a mathematical or statistical problem can be taken through the solution, step-by-step, by one of our online tutors (at any time of day or night) using a virtual whiteboard.
“Thanks so much... I received some really useful feedback and suggestions on my work – all within two hours of submitting it. I will definitely recommend this to my peers and use this service again myself.”

How Smarthinking works
Access
Access to Smarthinking is through mobiles, tablets or laptops, allowing students to get support exactly when they need.
Students log in through their VLE or via our website or app (Android™ and iOS) to submit an essay for review, ask a question or work through a question with a tutor in real-time.
Data
Keep track of progress and identify knowledge gaps via a dashboard that lets you see how the service is being used, view tutor feedback and identify common issues.
This data can also be used to examine trends for planning and conduct detailed studies on the impact of online tutoring.
Service options
You can choose to give students access to a range of tutoring services – each available 24/7 – including: scheduling appointments or requesting immediate help with writing or exam questions.
This includes live 1-2-1 or group tutor support sessions. Tutors use a virtual whiteboard with students.
Implementation
Simple to integrate into your existing VLE, we work with you to create a tailored plan - rolling out Smarthinking effectively to your staff and students.
After implementation we help you focus the service to meet your institution’s specific needs, offering out of hours support.
