| Abstract |
|
The development of the Web-based Enhanced Learning And Resource Evaluation Network (WE_LEARN) system is described. A prototype model has been developed and applied to an organic chemistry course. In the WE_LEARN system, a modular approach for concept acquisition (i.e., a similar learning environment) is combined with a self-testing module (i.e., a dissimilar learning environment) to yield a student-friendly learning system. The success of this approach is demonstrated by higher class averages as compared to the class averages of previous years, student participation as measured by system usage, learning by increased practice test scores as a function of time and usage, and the nature of faculty-student interactions.
