STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning that emphasizes hands-on skills and real-world problem-solving. In STEM education, students apply knowledge and skills from four specific disciplines – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – to specific contexts to improve their overall abilities. Therefore, a perfect authoring tool needs to ensure all the features dedicated to STEM education in the above fields.
Avina Authoring Tool is an advanced digital learning material software that integrates many useful features to support the application of STEM in the learning process. Here are some outstanding features in Avina that STEM teachers can exploit to bring creative and rewarding experiences to learners when entering the colorful world of STEM education.
1. Vivid data visualization
STEM education focuses on learning and applying knowledge to practice. If only words are used in lectures, learners sometimes find it difficult to understand and apply knowledge, which can easily lead to boredom and information overload. Therefore, describing knowledge through drawings and images has a strong and effective impact on the learner's psychology.
This feature on Avina Authoring Tool allows users to create and interact with 2D geometric objects, 3D models, diagrams, charts, and function graphs to support teaching, learning, and presenting multidimensional information. You can choose the Geometry tool on 𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐀 to draw flat geometric shapes, draw charts from available datasets, and insert 3D models that fit the knowledge description. In addition, 𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐀 has all kinds of function graphs, such as linear functions, quadratic functions, trigonometric functions, logarithmic functions, absolute value functions, exponential functions, etc., helping users to easily create graphs and change the coordinates of points flexibly and quickly.
Scientists have proven that interactive activities stimulate learners' desire to explore and conquer, helping them understand more deeply and remember longer than traditional knowledge testing.
Avina Authoring Tool not only provides advanced editing features but also fosters interaction between teachers and learners through lessons. Learners can discuss directly with teachers, participate in interesting games, or answer questions to accumulate points, creating a creative learning environment. This helps students better understand scientific, technological, and mathematical concepts through specific examples and real-world applications in the lesson.
3. Library of resources
Avina provides a rich library of resources with learning materials and lesson templates related to STEM. Teachers can easily search and access abundant resources to improve their STEM knowledge and convey it to students through various unique lesson formats.
The available library of resources helps teachers save time, refer to and present knowledge in a variety of ways, avoiding boredom, and improving teaching effectiveness.
4. Virtual Labs
Virtual labs on AVINA are the bridge that brings the outside world into your classroom. This feature creates a realistic virtual lab environment with a diverse and rich lab library, allowing users to perform experiments without going to a real lab, saving time, and helping students understand better and remember knowledge longer.
Some typical virtual labs on AVINA 2024:
Physics: Atomic interaction, spectrum of matter, light refraction, Coulomb's law, Faraday's law, force and motion, ...
Chemistry: Molecule building, mole concentration measurement, isotopes and atomic mass, molecules and light, pH scale, ...
Biology: Gene expression, natural selection, Neuron, …
5. Tests and assessments
Avina Authoring Tool provides an effective testing and assessment feature in the STEM learning process. With 𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐀 software, you can completely conduct tests and report learning outcomes quickly without going through the 𝐋𝐌𝐒 system.
Easily customize test conditions, personalize the learning experience
Export test links quickly
Results are sent immediately to the teacher's and learner's email
Save time, effort, and money
Thus, 𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐀 Authoring Tool not only provides features that support STEM knowledge but also creates a positive and engaging learning environment for learners. The features on 𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐀 not only help students access knowledge effectively but also encourage them to develop problem-solving skills and logical thinking in the STEM field. This will help students prepare better for the future and develop a deep interest in science and technology.
