Abstract

Session LOCATION: George's (3rd Floor of the Johnson Center)

Unsupervised formative assessments using questions from a large question bank may encourage behavior harmful to student learning. To test this hypothesis, a Blackboard experiment was conducted in which students were delivered two unsupervised quizzes based on core course material already covered in the course. The quizzes were then compared to assess student learning.  This presentation discusses this experiment and provides insight into how students complete coursework in unsupervised e-learning environments, and how this impacts their learning experience.
