Revel for "Psychology," 1st Edition by Marin and Hock: Correlation Study with University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Technical Research Report

Revel is an interactive learning environment intended to help students prepare for class by reading a little, then doing a little. Within Revel, there are several different learning products. Each product consists of instructional text interspersed with videos, interactive elements and assessments. Revel for "Psychology," 1st edition by Marin and Hock is one of these. To help learners get more out of their experience, Revel has been designed with a number of learning design principles in mind. Learning design is an approach to designing education products that focuses on learners' experiences. This study examines a group of students using Revel for "Psychology," 1st edition by Marin and Hock in their introductory psychology course. The authors analyze learning behaviors (by looking at surveys and Revel interaction data) and outcomes (by looking at achievement data). The authors also explore how the instructor and institution integrate Revel into the course. The results of the study suggest that students who got higher quiz scores in Revel tended to do better on exams. Likewise, students who spent more time reading in Revel, and who answered more questions correctly on the first attempt, also tended to do better on exams. These results line up with the expectation that using Revel helps students to succeed in the course. However, because of the way the study is designed, the authors can't say for sure whether using Revel is the cause of the students' success.
