Abstract
We are developing online interactive materials that allow students to adapt their text and homework to their own needs and interests. For example, students may specify topic areas of interest and then selected mathematics homework word problems are adapted to those areas. Using proper data management, their work can be hand-graded with feedback for the students and allowances for students to correct and resubmit their work after initial feedback in less time than is taken in grading traditional assignments. Such tools can support individualizing instruction even in large lecture classes.
