Overview

Drillster offers supplemental courseware for instructors to create adaptive practice drills that are designed to resurface content at key junctures. Drillster first presents learning material to students and then questions them, offers feedback on their answers, uses an algorithm to determine the order and frequency of when to present the questions again, and finally notifies learners when the system estimates that they will forget the material. Drillster can be used as a standalone platform or integrated into LMS and other internal systems. Instructors can create their own drills or select pre-made ones and can use the courseware when teaching in fully online, blended or face-to-face formats.

Drillster’s adaptive functionality considers factors such as time to complete learning exercises, performance on questions, elapsed time since last interaction with relevant content and third-party data. Instructors can add external content, give individual students different assignments, and modify the learning objectives and the elements of a course path that are compulsory or optional.
