textbook content format was changed from an embedded PDF file to HTML to improvequality and meet web accessibility standards.5. Case Study of Student Interactions with a NodeIn this section, we ask the research question – How do students who made an A, B, and C gradein the course differ in their behavior in approaching the ALP lessons. Rather than looking at thegroup statistics of students who made an A, B, and C grade in the course, at this stage of thestudy, we look at how a typical student from each group interacted with the “NumericalDifferentiation of Continuous Functions - First Derivative” node. Also, how to use the data toimprove student success is beyond the scope of this paper as we are currently studying it inSpring 2022.The node was
