The summit will feature speakers from the University of Waterloo in Canada, the Vienna University of Technology and Birmingham University in England, who have used Maplesoft’s solutions to revamp the way teachers administer courses and materials. They will share their experiences and the ways in which they’ve revolutionized their teaching methods by implementing Maple T.A. and Möbius.
