accessing.These individual student differences are important and can seriously impact their learning[18]. Wetherefore observe a gap in the literature that helps to motivate this study: for students in a realclassroom environment, what are the usage patterns of the various instructional supports (videos,peers, textbook, instructor) available to them, and in what ways does the ecosystem shape theseusage patterns? This paper gives a preliminary look at these issues using data collected during arecent academic semester in a Dynamics course.Study population, data, and methodologyStudent population. The subjects in this study were students in the sophomore-level courseDynamics at a large, mid-Atlantic public university during the Spring 2012 semester
