Observational usage-log analysis during a four-month field study in an introductory statistics lecture at a large German university, with 703 of 710 students consenting. The article reports "over 37,000 user sessions", "more than 50 sessions on average", and that students used the system "at least every second day".

"During the field study, the participating students initiated over 37,000 user sessions. Thus, each student initiated more than 50 sessions on average during the field study—which means, on average, the students used the system at least every second day."
