Abstract
In this article, early results of combining information technologies with the intent of improving the science-learning environment in terms of student motivation and learning are presented. The assessment focuses on student reactions to these instructional innovations. Results show that students appreciate the scheduling flexibility found in technology supported learning (TSL) and take advantage of this to maximize their scores on online quizzes and exams. Results also show that students perceive a more positive impact on their learning and confidence when using the TSL environment.
