Description

The study implemented seven lessons as 11 online reading comprehension modules, each containing a paper/reading in the field of kinesiology and several exercises related to that reading, with formative evaluations providing automated immediate feedback. The only difference from the control condition was the presentation mode of the material and the automated feedback. This pattern aligns with UACh's competencies-based model that adopts methodologies based more on student learning than on the professor's teaching.

Design Implications
