Two objectives wereexplored in this study. First, we examined the impact of utilizing structured homework assignments,compared to online homework, on students’ learning based on concept inventory data and performance ontest questions mapped to learning objectives. Second, we examined the effect of the homework systemtype on the students’ satisfaction and the attributes of
