Exploring the factors that support learning with digitally-delivered activities and testing in community college algebra
Page: 863
A variety of computerized interactive learning platforms exist. Most include instructional supports in the form of problem sets. Feedback to users ranges from “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 poster presents background on digital learning contexts and invites lively conversation with attendees on the research design of a study aimed at assessing the factors that influence teaching and learning with such systems in community college elementary algebra classes.
