AACE E-Learn Presentation
An Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of Digital Tool Use In Undergraduate History Classes
 
We recently presented the results of an evaluation we conducted with MarketingWorks on digital tool use in undergraduate history classes at AACE's World Conference on E-Learning, in Washington, DC.  The research paper was presented for peer review.
 
Peer review is important for any study to maintain standards of quality and provide credibility to the research. Peer review is a method of  validation for an effectiveness study.
 
The purpose of the study was to explore the impact of MindTap on student performance in undergraduate history courses in a single semester of college. This study investigated the following question: Do students in classes that use the online instructional application show better performance in their course than a comparable group of students that do not use the online instructional application as part of the same course?
 
MindTap was created by Cengage Learning and is designed to provide online instruction to support the learning of the material covered in specific textbooks.  
 
The study employed a quasi-experimental pre-post, treatment-control group design. Using ANCOVA, we found that students in history courses that used MindTap showed significantly higher grades than students in classes not using MindTap. 
 
We are actively planning for 2017.  Call or email us today at 800-254-7670 ext. 102 or hrickert@segmeasurement.com to find how SEG can help you improve product quality and increase sales through better assessment and product effectiveness research.
