Does anybody have any other ideas for getting Maple TA content (questions/banks/modules)? The application center doesn't currently meet our schools needs, and the contacts I've met at conferences are very hesitant to share their content. I can appreciate that because I've spent countless hours this school year writing over 300 questions, and I too would be hesitant to simply give them away. I feel I've become pretty good at writing all different types of questions. I am a former computer programmer and that background has definitely helped me write difficult algorithms and complex components of maple-graded questions. However, the question-writing task has become very tedious and time consuming for my school's needs. Our school is a tablet school which means we are doing away with the standard book/pencil/paper and are planning on using Maple TA as our primary homework & assessment tool in our math classrooms. Therefore, I have been writing anywhere from 20 to 50 questions per chapter, and our current Algebra I book has 12 chapters so you do the math.
