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).
