A total of 42 subjectsparticipated in this study which consisted of three main parts: A) A user profile survey, whichtargeted demographic information and participants‟ level of experience with course managementsystems; B) a list of eight tasks, completed by participants on the three CMS‟s and recorded by aMorae (www.techsmith.com) software; and C) a post-test survey which participants were askedto complete. Based on this study, the easiest task for the users across all CMS was logging in andout and finding the syllabus.In a similar study, Tereza Kirner et al

require them to retrieve material from memory” in order to reallylearn [5, p. 122]. The modules interleave content, video and practice which gives the studentsthe opportunity to check their understanding by performing low-stakes assessments that are inthe same format as the summative module quizzes. The practice is typically presented in theformat of an online quiz. Some practice questions present new concepts directly in the question,like the ‘hotspot’ instrument question shown in Figure 3a. Others use randomized parametersthat allow for unlimited attempts. Formative feedback is provided immediately upon completionto help the students master a concept (Figure 3b).
