ABSTRACT

From teachers, for teachers. SYLVA is a learning management system that integrates the course material creation, classroom distribution and student assessment processes all in one place. The platform was developed from our years of experience teaching quantitative courses at the University of Zurich. SYLVA’s authoring tool is practical for the creation of all types of interactive course materials and individualized examinations for any level Wolfram Language user. By simplifying the assessment and grading procedures for courses of all sizes with automated grading, teachers can focus on their course content rather than deployment. In this talk, we showcase how SYLVA is a fully integrated platform and the most convenient solution for the creation and large-scale distribution of lecture materials, assignments and examinations.
