A*Star Education is at the forefront of developing new technology to create outstanding resources to for teaching, assessment and revision.

While computing platforms, such as smart phones, tablets and e-book readers, have evolved rapidly, the capabilities of educational software have not kept up - until now.

Using the power of the latest programming languages we have created a next-generation software tool, MasterClass, that allows publishers to create interactive content on the web that users can edit and personalise. MasterClass can be used for any teaching, publishing or presenting application and is as applicable to tertiary education as it is to secondary. It addresses the needs of front-of-class teaching, tutoring over the internet, assessment and self-study as well as serving commercial marketing and promotional purposes. And the output can just as easily form apps for the iPad and Android tablets.

MasterClass was selected to create Maths Matters Online, a comprehensive resource for teaching mathematics in secondary schools, either in class or over the web, that has unrivalled capabilities. Students benefit from the ability to receive and process information at home and on the move on PCs, tablets and mobile phones.

Maths Matters Online gives teachers the unique ability to change any aspect of lesson material and be in complete control of all the content of assignments that they set for students - with automatic marking, updating results on any SCORM 2004-compliant virtual learning environment (VLE) and recording all students' working. Teachers can also control when the answers and fully-worked solutions are revealed - that's outstanding!

Maths Matters Online is available for schools, tutors and home educators.

MasterClass is available for publishers to use under licence.
