Abstract

This semester I am assigning students online homework problems using Sapling Learning. After the due date expires, I plan to analyze which questions were most frequently missed.  Then I will bring these back as part of a study session prior to the midterm 1.  Similar questions will be restested as part of their midterm, and an analysis conducted to see if students' scores improved as a result of the feedback and additional practice in these areas.

Love the idea, Erik! Basically you are doing an item analysis with constructed feedback. I can predict a high success rate, but looking forward to the results.
