Description
Summary:This study reports the results of a random assignment experiment using Web quizzes constructed with the Mallard software program and a multiple-choice test bank provided with O’Connor and Sabato’s American Government text. The experiment allows comparison of the performance of students who were assigned quizzes on specific chapters of the book with those who were not. The general purpose is to assess whether assigning Web quizzes in a large American government course has any effect on students’ comprehension of the material. The authors found no significant differences on posttest scores between students who were assigned Web quizzes and those who were not.
