Pre-Learning Discussion Satisfaction

Pre-learning improves learning outcomes.

Discussing questions & generating answers improves learning outcomes.

Students enjoy learning more and appreciate control of the pace of their own learning.

Opportunities for Pre-learning & Pre-Testing

Students who received either matching

or fill-in-the-blank prelecture quizzes,

as compared to no quiz,

performed better on both multiple-choice and essay

exam questions.1

How it Works

My PracticeOnline quiz individually at home [multiple choice]

‘Best of’ Model…for grading

IFAT Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique

Significant Same Single Simultaneous

The problem or question should be significant enough to engage and enhance understanding.

Students complete the same questions in class together with others on a team.

Each team must choose among various options to arrive at a single answer or solution to a problem.

Students compare their team answers with those of other teams.
