q2 · i? · causal · r2

Semi-structured interviews with five volunteer students (high, average, and low scorers) after the immediate post-test. High scorers reported that "once I click on the 'save' button I know that I will not forget it. It is permanent" while low scorers found the per-word time investment excessive.

"Low scoring students said that it needs a lot of time investment to deal with one word in the software and therefore they found it boring at times."
