Exploration of the Factors That Support Learning: Web-Based Activity and Testing Systems in Community College Algebra [Contributed Report]
Hauk, Shandy; Matlen, Bryan; Thomas, Larry
Grantee Submission, Paper presented at the Annual Conference on Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education (20th, San Diego, CA, 2017)
A variety of computerized interactive learning platforms exist. Most include instructional supports in the form of problem sets. Feedback to users ranges from a single word like "Correct!" to offers of hints and partially- to fully-worked examples. Behind-the-scenes design of systems varies as well--from static dictionaries of problems to "intelligent" and responsive programming that adapts assignments to users' demonstrated skills within the computerized environment. This report presents background on digital learning contexts and early results of a cluster-randomized controlled trial study in community college elementary algebra classes where the intervention was a particular type of web-based activity and testing system.
