WebCT quizzes provide students with another opportunity for practice of the concepts presented in class. Student achievement after experience with either or both SRS and WebCT quizzes on teacher-written hour-long exams and an American Chemical Society final exam was investigated. Results show that small differences in teacher implementation of both of these innovations can have large effects on student achievement. As currently implemented, SRS did not provide opportunities for reflection and review, while WebCT ...
