+it's *incredibly* simple to update the content without any headache:
+just push the changes,
+and everything else is automatically handled for you!
+
+The last medium for text-based instructional materials I will discuss is the
+{term}`Massive Adaptive Interactive Text (MAIT)`,
+which is an online text-based resource with the following characteristics {cite:p}`compeau_life_2015`:
+
+* **Automated Individualized Assessments:** A MAIT should include appropriately sophisticated assessment types (e.g. math, Parsons problems, or even code challenges),
+  all of which should be automated (e.g. provide feedback upon submission) and individualized (e.g. randomized input parameters)
+* **Interactivity:** Rather than placing quiz problems at the end of the instructional text, a MAIT should incorporate elements of {term}`Active Learning`
+  by incorporating assessments and activities *throughout* the instructional content
+* **Adaptivity:** A MAIT should differentiate students' responses to give them uniquely-tailored feedback to their specific misconceptions
+  and construct an adaptive learning path based on each student's specific misconceptions
+* **Modularity:** A MAIT should modularize core content so that it can be supplemented by additional crowdsourced learning modules
+
+Our recommended platform for developing MAITs is [Cogniterra](https://cogniterra.org),
+which was previously [Stepik](https://stepik.org/).
+To give you an idea of how MAITs can be structured,
+you can refer to the two main MAITs I have developed:
+[*Introduction to Computer Science and Object-Oriented Programming in Python*](https://cogniterra.org/326)
+and [*Data Structures*](https://cogniterra.org/330),
+both of which are freely available to the general public and incorporate autograded coding challenges within the browser.

+Active Learning
+  A method of learning in which students are actively involved in the learning process {cite:p}`bonwell_active_1991`.

+Massive Adaptive Interactive Text (MAIT)
+  An online text-based resource with automated individualized assessments, interactivity, adaptivity, and modularity {cite:p}`compeau_life_2015`.
