Revision of prerequisites: ICT tools.
Abstract
This is a report on the use of ICT tools to encourage subject matter revision of prerequisites for Science students. As part of a program of Teaching Networks at our University, we have developed a project to help students of Introductory Physics with the prerequisites in Physics and Mathematics (for Chemistry and Biology majors). We use a digital platform to provide periodically tests which the students must take before certain deadlines. Both multiple choice and open answer questions are posted. Encouraging results of the project in terms of students' learning and prospects for the future are discussed.
