Assessment and SoTL - Research

Abstract

Recently, use of web-based assignments became a common practice, partly due to the increasing availability of resources that facilitate their completion without reflective work from the students. As part of our SoTL-FLC project, we are exploring the effectiveness in student learning through online assignments for Introductory Physics and Chemistry courses. We plan to collect data that allow us to investigate the correlation between student’s engagement in completing online assignments, measured by the time devoted to complete them, and students’ learning as measured by test scores.
