Perception and effectiveness of an eGrade online tutorial/ assessment scheme in introductory physics courses

Abstract

A computer-aid, online tutorial/assessment scheme based on an eGrade (Wiley & Sons) software package designed and implemented in the introductory physics courses at the University of Newcastle (Australia) is described and evaluated. It is shown that the designed approach enhances student’s satisfaction and performance, and represents a valuable experience in developing a consistent tutorial/assessment online supporting scheme for large-class introductory physics courses.
