Exploration of the Factors That Support Learning: Web-Based Activity and Testing Systems in Community College Algebra
Hauk, Shandy; Matlen, Bryan
Grantee Submission, Paper presented at the Annual Conference on Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education (19th, Pittsburgh, PA, Feb 25-27, 2016)
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 such systems varies as well --from static dictionaries of problems to "intelligent" and responsive programming that adapts assignments to users' demonstrated skills, timing, and an array of other learning theory-informed data collection within the computerized environment. This short paper presents background on digital learning contexts and describes the lively conversation with attendees at the conference session. The topics were the research design 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.
